Yummy dinner here last night before a show. We made a 5:00 reservation, showed up a few minutes…read morebefore, and may have been the first restaurant patrons of the night. Many more had shown up here before we left, however. As it was happy hour, we tried three different appetizers: falafel with hummus, dolmas, and harissa carrots. All were delicious and ended up being rather filling. My wife and I both had the lamb gyros, while my daughter had the chicken shawarma. While the dishes didn't appear to be a huge amount of food, they ended up being plenty. Everything had really nice flavor. As it was my wife's birthday, she got the free baklava for dessert. My daughter and I both thought it was fantastic...maybe one of the better baklavas we've had in a long time. My wife thought it was fine but has had other versions she'd liked better. Service was quick and strong from the start. All food came out surprisingly fast. We'd come here again if on/near Tennyson Street and in the mood for a good Mediterranean experience.

The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because the price differential between these two items is about $5 and instead of itemizing our receipts, our waiter just split it in two, overcharging my friend and undercharging me. It seemed very incongruent to the rest of our otherwise excellent experience here.

I checked Yelp and The Athenian had excellent reviews, so we stopped here for lunch. The restaurant has nice Greek decor, a smoking room, and a lot of inside seating. We were greeted and seated right away. We ordered the Athenian Platter for two, which came with either your choice of a side salad or lemon chicken rice soup. The platter was huge and filling! The flavors were excellent. We both loved the veggies, baked chicken, and sausage and peppers. I don't know how the hell they did it (I'm assuming they premade the platter and reheated the food) but the platter came out very quickly. Everything tasted great and I would definitely go back.

The spices are flavorful on the chicken but it is so juicy and they cut the side order into pieces. Easy to eat and I love their tahini. Nutty, earthy and subtle.
