Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

This was my first visit in a few years. The food and service were both excellent. We had the Dolmades ( grape leaves stuffed with meat in rice in a creamy lemon garlic sauce), the Three meat Greek salad ( grilled pork, sliced lamb shanks, and Gyro meat) and the Stuffed Eggplant with meat. The eggplant was stellar! A creamy Feta cheese and tomato topping with buttery soft eggplant and a nicely spiced meat filling.The meal came with fresh bread with a nice crust and a plate of olive oil and herbs for dipping. The salad and Dolmades were also very good. For dessert we had the Tiramisu, wonderfully fragrant with espresso, sweetened cream filling and airy Lady Fingers. We did order the Kok, a cream filled chocolate topped pastry also but it was too dry for me and I swapped it for the wonderful Tiramisu. Our server was a very polite and warm young man with a big smile, he took good care of us during our visit.

The food was prepared with an old world authenticity that was just perfect. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is also great. The music was subdued and authentic (much better than the annoyingly loud Eurodisco other Greek joints play) and the hostess who greeted us was very personable and welcoming. The eggplant and scallop dishes were out of this world, and the tzatziki was great too. Definitely going back to try other courses on the menu. Efharisto!

The Grouper Mykonos is absolutely the best! For comfort food the leg of lamb can't be beat! The service is good & friendly. We love eating here! Enjoy!

...was back at Athen's recently. Haven't been in a while. The food was as good as ever... The Greek combo was hard to resist -- mmm cheese pie!

Great food, portions, and service for the money. Their lamb dishes are very good. Greek decor, great lunch spot! Smart & frugal locals eat here.

Easily the best Greek food I've had since moving down to Jacksonville from NY, with excellent service and good prices as well. The chicken lemon soup was really good, the tzatziki was unique but totally on point, there was chewy, delicious bread with an herb oil that came with the meal, and my dolmades were very fresh and tasty. Service can't be beat--my waitress was so friendly and efficient and simply improved my experience. Living on the west side means I won't be close by to Athens cafe often, but when in the area again for work I will definitely be back for lunch.

We went on a rainy Tuesday night early; there were 2 groups (private) in the restaurant by 6PM. No one other than myself and wife were in main dining room. The server was very friendly and was from Greece. The owner was playing cashier. She told me they have been there for 20 years and there are numerous awards for charity that they have done. The food was very good and I really enjoyed the braised lamb shanks. My wife got a dish with artichokes and some other vegetables. I tasted teh artichokes and thought they were probably canned as the had that slightly salty taste that led me to believe they were not fresh or fresh frozen, but the meal tasted fine. I thought the prices were a bit high and the waitress said that lunch is much less expensive, but I don't know how the menu changes. I would go back -- they served fresh hot bread with an olive oil/ Greek spices which was fine.

Service could not be better. Very nice. Soup was really really really really tasty. Definitely worth a lunch.

Every meal, every visit, is on point. Wait staff is kind, Mama is inviting, and the restaurant is kept clean. I recommend the appetizer sampler and the lemon chicken soup. The spaghetti and meatballs are really good, the chicken souvlaki are yummy, and even the bread basket is special. Definitely recommend!

One of my favorite places. Georgia is a gracious hostess and the food is always great. The stuffed eggplant and bean soups are exceptional. If you order a whole fish, they even offer to debone it table side. There's a reason they've been around 20 years.

My mom and stepfather introduced me to this restaurant years ago. Since then my family and I are greeted by the owner everytime. The atmosphere is calm with Greek music in the background. When the restaurant fills you see couples and families enjoying conversations. The food is to die for. My favorite is Pastichio (a light cheese on top of seasoned meat and pasta) with a side of chicken soup (Greek style).

Started with a salad and dolmades. Love the dolmades. They make them very good here at Athens. I was also hungry for a gyro the gyro came and everything was perfect. The pita was soft and buttery tasting. Tzakziki sauce was very good. Becky had filet mignon with white mushroom sauce. Service was great. The final touch was the mini drumsticks ice cream. Always a good place for a Greek fix.

Normally, I would give this place five stars, but I had a bad experience a couple of weeks ago. I pulled a hair out of my mouth that was in my food! Thank goodness the waitress, Mandy (who is awesome! She knows everything on the menu - a real pro!), witnessed this and went to replace my meal right away. When I told the owner about the hair, she got defensive and told me to check her kitchen - that there was no one in her kitchen with long hair. I had to pay for the meal. This was the second time I found something in my food that should not have been in it. I almost cut my mouth on metal that was in my seafood combo a year earlier. With the patronage I have shown this place and the fact that I kept going back even after the metal experience, I should not have had to pay for that meal, and the owner should have apologized. I go to this restaurant two or three times a month and love the food, love the owner and love the staff. I will not go back anytime soon. I will miss it, because they have the best grilled grouper I've ever tasted.

Incredible authentic Greek food served by the most friendly, kindhearted people I know. Everything is yummy, and they will accommodate special requests without a problem. It's a super fun family friendly atmosphere, and Georgia, the owner will greet you at the front and remember exactly who you are. You'll feel like you're in a friend's home. Can't beat that!!

Had a gyro. It was good. This out of the way place is worth trying, if you are in the area, but I wouldn't travel there just for the eats.
(3)Toni J.
Excellent Greek food (and from what I can tell, it's pretty authentic too)! Got the Greek Combo and chicken, lemon, rice soup. The soup and bread were super yummy! I wanted seconds, I was even tempted to swap out my entre for more soup and bread! But the Greek Combo was good too, I definitely recommend it. Their Spantokpia (part of the GC) was a bit on the oily side, but overall I enjoyed it. Definitely recommend and coming back here!
(4)Miranda M.
Amazing authentic Greek food. Run by a Greek family that treats everyone that walks through the door like one of their own. The service was efficient and food served piping hot. I had the tilapia sunset, which was the special, that was tilapia in a lemon cream sauce with roasted sweet peppers, Greek olives, mushrooms, and feta along with orzo. Delicious! We had a party of 8 and it was refreshing to not be charged an automatic 18 percent gratuity. I have been here many times and will return again.

When you're in Jacksonville and looking for authentic Greek Food...this is the first place you should go. Georgia will greet you at the door and welcome you in with hospitality that goes beyond what most restaurants offer. I can't recommend one item as everything on the menu is good. Just beware, dinner portions are large so bring your appetite. Yia Sas!
(5)William R.
Tasty Greek and Mediterranean food at very favorable prices. The ambiance is a bit old fashioned, but the staff is friendly and the food is consistently good. Dependable place to take friends for lunch or dinner. Give it a try and you'll become a regular.
