    Greek Philly on a salad! Yumm
    Mandee O.

    First I just want to say It makes me so sad that Athenas has such a low rating! I have experienced nothing but amazingness from this food truck, the same goes with my coworkers. The staff is always full of energy and humor, I absolutely love them. They are also accommodating! I eat lower carb so everything I've gotten off the menu I get on a salad rather than bread. My absolute favorite is the Greek Philly on a salad. Warm meat, veggies and melted cheese, plenty of sauce! The portions are large and flavor is spot on. I highly recommend this food truck.

    Chicken bacon ranch fries

    We have the pleasure of this food truck coming to Renton on Wednesdays during the lunch hour & I tried it for the first time this week! Whoa. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch fries & holy smokes was it bomb. The chicken was seasoned perfectly, bacon was cooked to the perfect crisp & the fries were golden & seasoned awesome!! I cannot say how pleased I am & feel like I have to try one of everything on the menu. Yum!

    Lamb gyro with side of Greek fries.

    First time trying this today and holy cow the food is delicious! I got a lamb gyro with a side of Greek fries (minus red onion) and it was fantastic. The fries were crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside. The gyro had a great ratio of lamb to veggie filling and the tzatziki and feta toppings were great. The only downside I had was the wait time for the food which was almost 30 minutes. But I do think it was worth the wait. Will definitely have this again when they come back this way.

    What bothers me about this place is how well they put together the presentation, but fail to deliver. At Des Moines Farmers market they ran out of gas and had a bunch of upset people. That's fine. What isn't fine is that they didn't realize the gas ran out until they were serving cold food. They didn't bother to apologize or even acknowledge this issue to the folks patiently waiting. We waited nearly 45 minutes for some bad food. Then forgot our order. We spent $21 on this. About their food. Awful and just bland all the way around. The final straw is that they served cold fries to us knowing that they ran out of gas. Wow. They gave us our money back, hence two stars. Would have been better comments had they apologized. I paid for mine and GF returned hers and cold fries. We were polite but workers just wrote off the exchange. I own a business (non-food service) and know how hard it is to keep track of quality. Apparently in Des Moines you need some work as compared to the Amazon crowd in Lake Union. I see Amazon reviews are higher. Improvements to customer facing interactions at the point of service in out-of-Seattle venues will go a long way to improving the experience overall.

    Amazing food and great beer. A little pricey but worth it. Couldn't ask for better customer service.

    Update: I left a comment on the Square receipt about never getting the hot sauce and the business…read moreowner responded within minutes and refunded. Great service and fast response! I got a build-my-own saj wrap with the mushroom base saj $6, sumac chicken $7, tomato $1.5, cucumber $1.5, pickled turnip $1, and a side of hot sauce $2. The saj bread itself tasted good, but got soaked through by the juice of the chicken and became very soggy. We walked to a park 10 minutes away to eat the wraps and the wraps were bending. The ingredients are fresh but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't quite taste the mushroom on the wrap, and on top of that, I got charged $2 for the hot sauce, but never tasted it in the wrap or found it on the side. My partner got the falafel saj wrap which was overall ddcent, but he also found the saj bread quite soggy, yet the falafels were on the dry side.

The signature saj bread is cooked fresh on a hot stone and is almost like a Middle Eastern flour tortilla with the way it's super thin and satisfyingly chewy bite. The only seating options are a few large benches on the sidewalk, but there's a poster saying you're welcome to sit at the neighboring bar which opens in the late afternoon provided you purchase a drink as well. Ended up sampling 3 of their wrap options and the Zaatar Wrap was deliciously nutty and fragrant, but texturally there was so many herbs that the center ate a little dry. The Lahme Khuruf (Lamb) was my favorite by far with super juicy ground meat with some tang from the labneh, sweetness, freshness from the tomato, and texture from the pine nuts. Absolute home run on this one! The Awarma and Cheese was a close second, but personally, the flavor profile was just a little less interesting than the lamb. Tip: grab some extra napkins as the wraps can fall apart a bit at the end!
