I need more of this in my life.
4.5 stars: Gyros wrap + salad ($1 more but worth it). Like any other Greek joint, the gryos was bomb. Plenty of Tzatzíki sauce that will make your day. And that lamb was tender, juicy, and just so damn good!!!!!
Not to mention, they give a free basket of pita and bread and hummus. Bomb-diggity.
Love this place. I don't eat here enough. What's wrong with me?!!!! -

I used to work nearby and I was so glad that I found this place. Like other people say, it's hidden in the middle of a business area so I doubt many people come here without hearing about it through word of mouth or through Yelp.
You can sit at a table and order from the menu like any other restaurant or you can go up to the cash register and pay as soon as you order. After that you sit at the table and wait for them to bring your order to you.
I've eaten here by myself a few times so I like that I can just go up and pay. I've also ordered food to-go and they are very fast in putting food together.
The service has always been very good when I've been here.
Now on to the food.
If you eat here they bring out bread/pita with a light garlic hummus. So good. Don't fill yourself up on this though cause the food here's delicious.
I usually get the Gyro. I've only tried other dishes from other people ordering them. For $8 you get a Gyro and either garlic fries or fresh fruit. I go with fries, cause I don't care about my health. But the garlic fries are not greasy at all. They kind of remind me of larger In-n-out fries.
These usually come with a purple olive dipping sauce. I'm not a fan of it cause the olive flavor is pretty strong so I usually ask for a cup of Tzaziki sauce and I go to town on my Gyro. They'll also bring ketchup for your fries.
There's tea/coffee and soda that's self-serve. I think you just tell them that you ordered it and pay for it after you get it.
If you're in the area, don't miss out on Athena Grill, a hidden gem off the Central Expressway. -

This place is great...but dangerous.
I say that this place is dangerous, because I could sit there all day and eat their food until I explode. It really is that good.
I have been here a number of times with different people, each of my dining experiences (lunch or dinner) have been good, tasty, and very consistent. The service is always good.
I will say that the restaurant can be difficult to find and parking is all street. But, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

Cute little place. Came here for lunch with a friend the other day, and it was alright. They serve you fresh pita bread and french bread with some garlic dip. The dip was good but just tasted like butter and garlic (i guess i was expecting something more Mediterranean like hummus to go with my pita, haha). I ordered the lamb wrap which was served in a thick fluffy pita with tzaziki sauce inside. The wrap was decent and the lamb was nice and flavorful, but overall I wasn't too impressed.
I ordered the wrap with a side of fruits which were yummy, but next time I think i'll try the garlic fries since everyone seems to rave about how great they are.
I'm willing to try this place out again. Maybe I need to order something different next time. I'll be sure to try it again and update soon! -

Best Greek food in town.
My Boyfriend and I have been coming here for a few months, and we can not stay away.
I always get the Gyro, Its our not starving these plates are always good to share, they give you a lot food for 10 bucks
Great fresh ingredients, meat never over cooked, and the employees are all very kind and chatty and courteous. But Most importantly the food is so Good. We keep coming back for more. -

I used to drive by on Scott Blvd. for years without ever hearing about this place. It's in the middle of a business park district, so I had no idea a Greek restaurant existed here.
The building/decor is kinda odd because of the aforementioned business district - it looks more like it should be an office than a restaurant. But don't let that deter you, the food here is legit. Staff was friendly, the food is tasty, and the portions are more than enough that you'll likely need a doggie bag too. If I ever have a hankering for Greek food, Athena will be at the top of my list. -

Went to Athena today for the first time. The meal was good, but there are better Greek/Mediterranean that are less expensive in the area. Also, the place is so small that you have to wait and wait to order and then wait for a table and so on and so on. If you are time constrained go somewhere else. But all in all I would come back if I have a hour or more for lunch. It would have been better if it wasn't to cool to sit outside today. Service was not friendly either and that definately knocks down my rating. 15 bucks for a meal just seems a little much when I have to order after waiting in line then get my own drink and refills and wait for a table. But the biggest issue is there are better places within a couple of miles. The lamb shank was good though and my boss got the salmon that looked very appetizing as well.

I don't think I would've discovered this little gem if not for Yelp!
Athena grill isn't in a typical food/business area I would go to, nevertheless the
reviews on Yelp were so positive we had to try.
Living in Montreal, we were spoiled with fantastic authentic good Greek food for cheap.
I've only found a handful of greek restaurants in the bay area, mostly pretty decent.
But was super excited to try Athena from the reviews...
We were 2 people, and shared an appetizer - spanikopita (feta cheese and grilled chard
wrapped in puffy pastry), and the gyro plate.
A pretty decent side greek salad came with the food, and so good - right amount
of dressing and fresh ingredients.
When we sat down the waiter brought over bread basket with pita (still warm!) and
a dish of the hummus. So freaking delicious, i will dream about this hummus the next day
(i think there's garlic and lemon juice in it).
Spanikopita was served in 4 hefty slices, with a sprinkle of feta cheese pieces and olives
on the side. Soooo delish - flaky, tender, lots of flavor.
The gyro plate was pretty huge, garlic fries and pita bread on the side, the gyro slices
were plentiful and tasty. It also came with a side of 'purple sauce' which had ground up olive
pieces. so good.
There were enough food for 3 people (seriously!), and everything was amazing. The bill came to less than 20$
which is an amazing deal for the caliber of food serve. Wait staff was decent, I would definitely
come back again to try other items. it's not fancy, but very good food at a casual restaurant.
It's your hole-in-the-wall local eatery that has you coming back for seconds.
Great job Athena grill - probably one of the most authentically greek food i've had outside Montreal. -

It seems a bit random to find a delicious restaurant hidden away in the middle of a business park, but Athena's doesn't seem to need drive by business.
It can get very busy at lunchtime but I've always managed to find a table. Parking is on the street and can be difficult at this time but again, I somehow always find a spot.
You order and pay first. The cashier is always super fast. The waiters are extremely efficient at clearing the tables, bringing you a basket of delicious bread, and delivering your food. I don't know how they do it. The food comes out pretty quickly. They seem to have their whole system down.
The food is amazing. I usually get the gyro with fries. Plenty of meat. The garlic fries come with this purple olive sauce that compliments them incredibly. -

Great gyros and garlic fries. Very friendly owner. Can get crowded at lunch. I came with a Greek friend who is actually from Greece, and he even liked it (he's quite particular for obvious reasons). I definitely will return.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place! My friend introduced me to this place and I have definitely been coming back for more.
Everytime I'm here, I always order their gyros salad. Their portion is pretty huge...
I also like their pita bread, hummus and olive oil fries. Even though I'm not an expert in Greek food, I can tell that everything here's pretty much legit.
It's a little on the more expensive side, but worth it. -

Ordered the pikilia (combination), which was massive and came with:
spanakopita - the phyllo dough was crispy but not overly dry and the spinach and sour feta cheese complemented each other well
gyros - very tasty and tender - the highlight of the meal
mousaka - eggplant, ground beef, and potatoes topped with white sauce. About as heavy as it sounds, but also could've used a bit more flavor.
pastitsio - sort of like a greek lasagna and almost indistinguishable form the mousaka in terms of taste
salad - everything tasted fresh, topped with feta cheese and olives
pita - warm and moist, and the hummus was creamy and refreshing without being too garlicky
I'm used to Greek food being overly salty (particularly the gyros), but this was not the case here. Environment was chill (although it was an early lunch) and casual - you order from the counter and they bring the food to your table. -

Okay, I don't know what it is about this place. But honestly, I can give Athena Grill 3 points AT MOST!
I've been here twice. The first time, my sister, mom, and I were all underwhelmed with our dishes. But they continued to have such positive reviews on yelp that I thought I'd give it another try.
I came here for lunch, which is a busy time. All of the tables are filled and you have to wait for one to open up. You wait in line (kind of like a cafeteria), place your order, and wait for someone to bring your food out.
I ordered one of the specials of the day, which was the "grilled beef pita sandwich." When it arrived, I was super disappointed when I realized that it was pita bread stuffed with sliced roast beef. If I wanted roast beef, I would've gone to a sandwich shop.
My friend ordered the chicken souvlaki, and we were eager to try the complimentary pita bread since it's mentioned in many of the reviews. However, it was cold, plain, and the hummus was not exciting.
Summary: Mediocre Greek food in a casual atmosphere, very busy during lunch, wouldn't recommend. If you're in the mood for Greek, check out Yiassoo--it's 10x better and cheaper! -

This is my favorite place to have lunch when I'm home in Santa Clara. The food is just that good! Take a look at their menu and see that they have so much more to offer than your typical gyro or falafel joint. Albeit, lunch here ends up being a little more pricey than your typical spot but it's all worth it.
When I started coming here, I would always get their wraps as they are the most affordable. I've always left satisfied with their lamb or gyro wrap. However, ever since I got the Brizola, (NY strip steak) I don't think I'll be going back to their wraps. The first time I ordered, it came out still a little pink in the middle and was as flavorful and juicy as can be. For about $15, this steak was to die for and worth it. Also, their lamb shank is pretty damn good also. This is usually my girlfriend's choice when we eat here. It always comes out fork tender with red sauce over a bed of pasta. Slurp.
Not to mention their fries are some of the best. They remind me of better In-N-Out fries that have been rolling in Greek seasoning. If you're a garlic lover then you'll love the dip that comes with them. It's got plenty of that raw garlic bite so Twilight actors beware, that means you Robert Pattinson.
I'm getting hungry just yelping about this place. -

This is probably the best Greek food I've had outside of Chicago. All of the food was equally as good as or better than the best I've had until I ate here. I'm Greek, so this is DEFINITELY saying something because I'm picky about my Greek food. I came here for my birthday dinner last night with my sister, parents, and grandparents. We were promptly greeted and seated by Ronny. RONNY IS AWESOME! He told us his life story about how he came to America 40 years ago with just $15 in his pocket and could only speak Thai and French, but he was hired at a Greek restaurant anyway because he was so passionate and willing to work hard. He's been in the Greek food business ever since, and you can tell from his knowledge of the cuisine. He's so funny, too! He was messing with me because his birthday is close to mine, and he wanted to see if I was as smart as him, so he had me solve one of those mind games where you have a number of objects but you have to make another number with just one move, you know? One of those puzzle riddle things. It was funny as hell. I love waiters that actually interact with the customers and make them laugh. He really made us feel at home.
Anyway, about the food itself: SO FLIPPING GOOD! And there was so much of it!!!! For the price, it was an insane amount of food! We started with the mezes Athena and mezes krasiou, after gobbling up the delicious complimentary warm pita bread and hummus. The lamb souvlaki and chicken souvlaki are both super moist and super tender and super flavorful! The gyro meat is truly the best I've had. It has a tiny tiny crunch to it, I don't know how to describe it... it's just incredible!!! I'm not really one to comment on textures of food, but the texture of that gyro meat is wonderful! And the loukaniko? THE BEST EVER! Even better than I've had in Chicago!
I ordered the pikilia (combo plate) for my main course, which comes with pastitsio, moussaka, gyro meat, spanakopita, and garlic fries. It also comes with a gigantic Greek salad and I couldn't finish it because I knew that I wouldn't be able to eat my entree otherwise. The pastitsio was my favorite thing on the plate. Perfect amount of seasoning, perfect balance of beef and noodles and bechamel. The bechamel that they use is so light and fluffy, how the hell do they do it?!?!? That being said, the moussaka comes in a close second for my favorite thing on the plate. My spanakopita was also very good, and it's interesting because they use Swiss chard in addition to spinach, which I thought was surprisingly delicious. And of course the gyro meat was wonderful as well :)
For dessert, they brought me the honey almond cake with a candle in it. Awww! My family also ordered the baklava, karidopita, kataifi, and ekmek. I had never tried ekmek before actually, and I liked it a lot! It's kind of like kataifi, but with more stuff added on.
We took our time and stayed from 7 pm until 9 pm (closing time) and we were never ever rushed. The only tiny negative thing I have to say is not even really a negative thing to say... it's just that I kind of wished they had saganaki (flaming cheese). But pshh I didn't really care that much ;P
We now have a refrigerator packed with leftovers and every time I open my fridge I get a blast of amazing Greek food smells. I can't wait to eat it, and I can't wait to try more stuff at Athena Grill! SO GOOD. FIVE STARS!!!!!!! -

i seriously love this place! Recommend: the Gyro plate
so i found this place when i friend brought me here, and i have fallen in love.
i always order the Gyro plate, it comes with SO much food its insane.
for 10 bucks you get like 10 gyro slice (big slices) hella Peta bread and french bread. Greek fries and this delicious purple dipping sauce.
i can never finish the dish, i even share it with my girlfriend because its so much food, but its definitely worth it.
also if you call ahead, by the time you get there they will have the food ready. -

I went here for lunch with my co-worker and I am immediately hooked.
The $10 Gyro plate, will buy you a complete lunch meal.
It has good portion of greek salad with dressing, feta cheese, onions, olives, & tomatoes, pita bread. The most important component, is the beef gyros, thinly sliced and they are so flavorful and juicy, and then finish with a garlic fries. It is an awesome lunch plate meal.
It gets busy during lunch time so get there early. If people lines up, then you know the place has a great food. -

I have been to Santorini, tried a dozen of traditional Greek plates but never really felt particularly excited with the Greek cuisine ... until I went to Athena Grill. I visited the place with a friend. When I got there it was around noon, it was a Tuesday and the place was packed. We were able to get a table and I ordered Biftékia. The plate was superb. I really liked the spices, the meat was cooked just right and the potatoes were really tasty. The place was quite crowded and noisy. I believe that lunch during the week is probably not the best time to go to the restaurant. Nonetheless, I thought the food was great. The menu has several Greek traditional courses. I'll definitely visit the restaurant again in the future.

I really like this place. They serve up Greek food. I am talking Lamb Shank stew, for the truly hardcore. If you want a Gyro I don't know where else you should go, as this place has the best Gyro I have ever had. They use really fresh, clean ingredients. The staff is friendly. Really, a great place.

Hands down my favorite Greek place in the South Bay! Drooling mouth good, I highly recommend this spot if you're in the area for business or visiting a friend. Yes, there's not much in the way of a scenery here as it's located in a industrial area, but the outside patio is nice for those warm, sunny days.
Come here many times for lunch with friends. Today I thought of Athena Grill after a major craving for their delicious Gyros and Lamb Souvláki and knew a review was in order. Hell, everything here is delicious!
Generous portions, tasty Mezés, yummy spreads, scrumptious baklava and their Greek style fries tossed in Greek spices with dipping sauce are amazing. Salads are top notch as is their Gyro (Yiro) Plate, which is a favorite of mine. Thinly sliced beef over warm pita with red onion, tomato and tzatzíki with Greek fries. The BEST! Refreshing, simply good food at good prices.
Place your order at the counter, pay, grab a number and wait for your food to come out. You won't be sorry! No other place in SF or the Bay beats Athena. Hands down the best of the best! :-)Listed in: Culinary Treats, just…

The olive dip that came with our fries was delicious. The gyros sandwich was excellent too. The proportions were huge and very reasonably priced.
The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the owner was incredibly rude. We sat down at a table for 4 people and he came up and asked us (very rudely) to move to a table for two people, stating that he'd lose business if we wasted seats. Fair enough, we moved over. Before our order was taken, a couple came in and took our old seats. I guess they're regulars as the owner didn't make them move but that left a bad taste in my mouth that even the delicious food couldn't completely take away.
Better customer service would go a long way. -

Went here for the second time with some friends last week.
Food was just as amazing as I remembered! My friend and I split the Shrimp Souvláki -Tiger Prawns marinated in garlic oregano, lemon-olive oil on a skewer grilled on open fire served over rice and vegetables prawns which was so tasty and the Broiled Portobella-Broiled sliced Portobella mushrooms marinated in a balsamic vinaigrette,roasted pepper, spring greens, feta, pesto wrapped in warm pita. Are you hungry yet?
Seriously this place has huge portions and wonderful food! The service is great and the prices are so reasonable for the amount of food you receive.
The atmosphere is very kick back and fun!

It''s a hunt to find, but so worth it once you do. And the complimentary soft (but still perfectly chewy) pita bread paired with hummus sitting on your table totally erases any remaining doubts you may have about eating in the middle of an industrial office park.
The Gyro plate, for only $10, will buy you a generous greek salad with dressing, feta cheese, onions, olives, & tomatoes, MORE yummy pita bread, juicy & flavorful gyros, and definitely more garlic fries than little me could handle. As a sit-down restaurant, they had an impressive selection of dishes to choose from, and I definitely want to come back the next time I'm in the area to check those out.
Service is what makes Athena Grill a solid five stars. When my little party and I walked in, there was only one large party hanging out on the patio, and you know how sometimes the workers at an empty restaurant can make you feel sort of unwelcome? Not the case here. Everyone behind the counter said hello, and the homey feel of the place made for a very relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was also timely and super helpful with what to order when my friend couldn't decide. -

Maybe the expectations I had for this place were set too high. I drove 20 minutes out of my way to give this place a try too, pretty disappointed. The food was just completely average, the pita bread was cold (just my luck). I ordered the gyro plate and stole some of my friends mousaka, but the food was just.... average.
The service here is pretty great though.. The food, meh, Pass! -

Was craving Gyro... so friends suggested Athena's grill.
Gyro slices of meat. this was okay. i was hoping for Shawarma combo of lamb/beef/chicken... but it was just slices of meat at this place. i didn't order it since it wasn't the shawarma meat.
Lamb w garlic greek fries, salad. the lamb was good, not great. the garlic fries was awesome though!
pita n bread w hummus - omg the hummus is amazing. and pita bread is super fresh.
definitely worth going to if u are craving garlic fries and aren't going to a ball park or gilroy festival anytime soon. yumm. -

Athena is located in the middle of a business/industrial park area. The decoration is kind of plain but it's still super cute. This place reminded me of a scene in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants but without the sexy Greek man... if anyone knows what I am talking about.
Anyway, I came here for dinnertime and this place gets pretty busy for its location. I am not sure about lunchtime but during dinner, there's complementary appetizers with pita/bread and a dip. Good thing because I was starving! I ordered the Steak Gyro which was pretty good but my friend thought the meat was a bit dry. I think he got Athena's Gyro which was pretty juicy. The gyros are about 7-9 bucks which is pretty cheap considering it comes with garlic fries. (Yum!) The meal was quite filling. The desserts at the register also looked delicious but we were too full to even think about eating another bite. Oh well, next time it is! -

Seemingly family owned - but generally sub par food.
We were there for dinner, as part of our ongoing search to find good food in the north San Jose area. My husband had the gyro plate, the gyros were nothign special, the pits was not hot, the vegetables that came with it were very balnd, think boiled.
I had the veggie moussaka, again very bland and nothing special.
The baklava was over sweet and I have definitely had better... -

What luck to have stumbled on this gem within walking distance of a client! I spent a week in Santa Clara, working in this industrial park, and just walked over here thinking it was another divey lunch place. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! The food here is super fresh and cooked to order. Because of this, certain dishes take longer to come out from the back, but no complaints here. I got to try both the seafood skewers and a lamb salad. The entrees come with rice, greek salad, and the veggie of the day. Everything was delicious. The salad was super fresh, no sogginess here, and generously mixed with feta cheese chunks. The meat portion of the salad was also decently sized, enough protein to get you to dinner.
Baklava was tasty and chock full of nuts. I wouldn't recommend the spice cake looking dessert...it had a weird, medicinal taste.
I would definitely return if I was in the area. With just a vast menu, there is still a lot I'd like to try. -

Pay the extra $1 to order a salad with your meal!
I was expecting a side salad next to my fries, but no my friends, be prepared for an entree sized greek salad to arrive before your meal. Everyone in my party was stunned. Great value!
Arnaki Pita was delish, especially accompanied with great garlic fries.
Oh and did I mention, free hummus and pita bread when you sit down?
All this for about $11...2 meals worth for me. Despite the odd location in the middle of business-parkland, I'll be back! -

Easily one of the best Greek/Mediterranean spots in the Bay. The prices here are super reasonable. The portions are solid and the fries... well lets just say they are probably illegal in some states they are so good. The free humus and pita/bread is also a bonus and the olive yogurt dipping sauce is just the cherry on top of an excellent casual meal.
Enjoy!
