Review from Jim W.

3.75 Stars. Imagine my surprise when I left the hotel nearby to walk around and find some dinner. I was not expecting to find an authentic Greek restaurant in Ogden-and there it was. I was here on a slow night, and I had the privilege of glimpsing some family drama reminiscent of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Very cute.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and friendly. The food was very good and they make a great Yogurt Dressing. Baklava was tasty, could use more honey and less corn syrup. -

I decided to try this place after reading the reviews on yelp. I should have stayed away. The food is not good, the potato side dish sounded so yummy with lemon and butter. I did not see or taste any butter on them. I couldn't finish their baklava now that says a lot. I always finish my baklava. I would stay away from this place.

I can see why reviews are mixed here. Some of the food was quite good, others not at all (I'm certain the pita was pancake mix). 3.5 stars.

This was a really good restaurant. I don't eat at greek places very often, but I really liked this one. The pita bread and hummus appetizer was great, and we ate a family style meal with salad, roasted chicken, gyro meat (delicious), lasagna and baklava for dessert. Overall really good.
The service was a little slow, although we weren't really in a hurry so it didn't matter, and we were there on Thursday so we got to experience the belly dancing. It was a little awkward having this scantily clad woman dancing around the place with finger cymbals on (especially when two dads with kids there kept giving her more and more tips and keeping her by their table), but it made it a little more interesting i guess. -

Great food, great ambience and fair prices for a evening dinner in the heart of Historic 25th Street.

Quite possibly one of the best restaraunts in north Utah Greek or not. The owner of this place is wonderful and it is a family run great place. The food is great and the prices are more than great. Sit on the patio during warmer months. All around good place.

Not awful, but really underwhelming, especially for such a great location. A bit too cafeteria-ish. I'd like to see the Athenian rejuvenated - maybe a bit more like Aristo's in Salt Lake. Frankly, in Ogden you're better off grabbing Greek at the University Broiler.

i went here to see some belly dance and try some food. the atmosphere is nice, small but not cluttered. i love greek food and used to live in a tiny greek town and eat delicious greek food all the time and recently i had been missing the flavor. I was excited to try a platter and dive into some tasty treats. i hate to say it was a bit disappointing. it wasn't like any authentic greek food ive tasted. the platter was some sort of pasta with meat sauce which seemed very italian to me, stuffed grape leaves stuffed with meat that tasted a lot like corned beef and hash and soup that was a bot too tangy and kind of strange. honestly i cant even remember what else was on the platter which doesn't really say much for it. also there was no baklava on the menu :(. its a fun place to see belly dancing if you go when tiger lilies are dancing. perhaps i need to try some more things on the menu but over all it was just ok for me.

Great food; live belly dancers. Nice staff. Low prices. Ogden at its best.
