    Gyro salad with tzatziki sauce
    Alex S.

    Food is amazing, I always get the Gyro salad. I recommend the fries as well, very crispy and full of flavor. If you are fortunate enough to find the Dubai chocolates in stock, jump on them. Staff have always been super friendly and make me feel welcomed and appreciated. They have quite a bit of seating, with both tables and booths with chill music playing in the background. Come enjoy a great experience here!

    I've never been inside this place. I've driven by, which is how I knew of them. I ordered them once via Doordash and the pink stuff threw me but all the food was delicious. I've been craving chicken shawarma so I decided to order it today via Grubhub. The order arrived within the promised time frame. The food was packaged nicely. I requested utensils but did not receive any. One day I'll order in person, but for now I order through a third party and I haven't had any complaints.

    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!

    Can I give this place more than five stars?? Because they deserve it…read more This is an order-at-the-counter kind of place. The gentleman working noticed us studying the menu and was extremely helpful, even offering a few sample bites before we decided. We ended up getting a chicken wrap, a falafel wrap, hummus and baklava. Hands down, the falafel was my favorite. I asked for the orange hot sauce on the side and it was fantastic. Definitely spicy though so be careful if that isn't your thing. The falafel was flavorful and moist. The wrap came with lettuce, tomato, pickle, cucumber and sauce inside a tortilla, then grilled. Absolutely perfect. Fresh and delicious. My partner's chicken was also great. Fewer vegetables than on the falafel wrap. The chicken meat was super juicy and perfectly seasoned. Both meals came with a soup that was a nice addition. But people... hear me out.... The baklava. SO. FREAKING GOOD. Perfectly flaky and the right amount of sweetness. We added it on as an impulse buy while we paid and it ended up being the star of the show. I sincerely can't wait to go back. Thank you for a great meal!

Vegetables were good and had quite the variety to go with the beef and rice. The beef was just okay. A little dry and lackee flavor. But the portion size was well worth it. The service and speed was top notch. I got my food faster than my coffee order. So it isn't a bad visit, but if I am in the area ooght swing on by again to give them another shot.

She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and checked on us just the right amount. We ordered two BEC sandwiches, which sadly are no longer on the menu, but wow, they were delicious! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Instead of the greens, we opted for the Million Dollar Potatoes and they were super yum! Such a tasty choice and the perfect addition to the meal. Great service, delicious food, and a lovely breakfast experience. Thank you, Arely, for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back!

The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.
