Chicken and Steak Kebab Plate
Gracias M.

I love Athena Pita, and i look forward to eating there every time I charge my car because it's close to an electric car station. They offer such a great variety of Mediterranean dishes at a great cost. The food honestly taste too good for the price but that's just me. The staff is also quite welcoming and attentive. A place I would recommend for Pita and Gyro lovers

Came here the first night they were open late and was treated like family! We got three free deserts and amazing customer service. The food is authentic and delicious this is a must stop for anyone in the phoenix area!!!!

I love this Greek restaurant located in a strip mall facing west on east side of street because the food is actually, to me, remarkable (even the French fries are excellent) and food is prepared fresh after ordering. Portions are big so hub and I generally split a dinner. For example, garlicky chicken shawarma dinner served with flavorful saffron rice, Greek salad with homemade dressing and pita bread. Delicious Hummus very excellent since improving its flavor, gyros in pita bread and/or dinner perfectly prepared. Mustn't forget yummy homemade baklava, a crispy filo pastry with honey and pistachios. You can't go wrong with anything you order and the side of French fries is enough for two to share. I wish Athena would sell Greek fries with feta, tzatziki sauce and fresh dill that I recently tried at another Greek restaurant in Tempe, which was a real taste bud pleaser. Booth and table seating are available though I generally take my meals to go. When entering the restaurant, the lights are dimmed and you're welcomed by all the aromas in the kitchen. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. If you're unsure about trying a menu item, they will offer you a sample. No pets but service animals allowed and no outdoor seating. Remember to always tip not only because it's the right thing to do but the service industry relies on low wages and tips and it's one of the great way to say thank you. Lastly, shout out to Onella, who's taken my order several times. She makes homemade Dubai chocolate filled with a pistachio paste, gold tops the bar, not the 24K kind. A must try.

Friendly Service with a smile

My daughter turned me onto Athena Pita! Delicious,fresh and even tasty leftovers! Now every time I'm in the area I either stop or am tempted too!

Great service, super helpful staff, and they just started a rewards program last week. I will definitely return just for the pet friendliness and great service alone. The food slaps. So that is amazing too. The only negative is the price but you're definitely paying for quality and flavor, so that's not an issue for me. Edit: the CRISPIEST Greek Fries I have ever had and for that I am naming the best.

A family owned sit-down full service place that is quaint, charming and welcoming. We ate in, but there were more carry out orders going than diners. We went after seeing the other good reviews and, as always, Yelpers usually don't miss. We were quickly welcomed and seated. The menu is straightforward, with a nice mix of Mediterranean foods. We had the Chicago gyros, chicken schwarma, beef kofta, lemon rice soup, tabbouleh salad and fries. All were great, but the fries were outstanding! I've eaten a lot of fried potatoes in my life, and really none better. They rounded out the meal-hot, fresh, crunchy and soft. Perfect! If I had to have a "complaint," the lemon garlic aioli on the schwarma was a bit too much, get that "on the side" so you can manage that. Otherwise a great meal. OPA!

We tried a couple of their Persian Kabobs and found them to be excellent! The Koobideh (ground beef) kabobs were tender and juicy, with great flavor. The Boneless Chicken kabob had saffron flavor and was cooked to perfection. The salad was nice and crispy with just enough oil/vinegar dressing. Customer service was excellent, with very attentive staff. Their dining area's ambiance is good, is well lit and is nice and cool. There are plenty of parking space just outside in the shopping center. The food was very good... we will definitely have to come back to try the other items on their menu. Two thumbs up!

The restaurant is simply decorated but very cute, and everything is clean--including the bathrooms, which is always a big plus.

Some restaurants chase trends. Others just quietly keep making really good food year after year…read more This is one of those places. I'd been here several times years ago, and after coming back, I'm honestly wondering why I don't eat here more often. I ordered the chicken shawarma, a stuffed grape leaves platter, and hot tea. Everything was exactly what I hoped it would be. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, and wrapped with the classic toppings, and the portion was fair for the price. Speaking of price, the value here is honestly hard to beat. The stuffed grape leaves platter came with hummus, tabbouleh, pita, and hot stuffed grape leaves. I had completely forgotten they serve them warm, and my brain needed a minute to recalibrate because I'm so used to cold dolmas everywhere else. Once I took a bite, though... yep. That's how they're supposed to taste. Soft, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. I ended up adding some of the hummus and tabbouleh to my shawarma, which made an already great sandwich even better. The service was just as impressive as the food. My server was genuinely kind, gave me a few extra minutes when I couldn't decide, checked in without hovering, and even offered to package my hot tea to go when he noticed I was still working on it. (For the record, ordering an entire pot of tea for one person was an ambitious life choice on my part.) The dining room isn't huge, and there's also a small market attached, which adds to the charm. This place reminds me that consistency is underrated. Years later, I came back, and it was just as good as I remembered. Great food, great service, great value. I'll try not to wait so long before my next visit.

Got the food fast and the rose water lemonade was good. Mango juice tasted like Jumex and that's yummy to me lol Waitresses were nice and attentive.

They should probably clean up the walkway to the bathroom too there was just a bunch of stuff. They also have a store attached which was cool. We didn't look but still cool. Chicken shawarma was bomb!
