I used to love Athens so much! Their Greek salads are great!! I used to be a consistent customer. Unfortunately this is the 3rd time they have put chicken on my salad! I’m a vegetarian and it’s really disappointing they didn’t take an extra second to read my order that clearly stated just a regular Greek salad. I do not have the time with my job to keep coming in there correcting my order. Other than that, great food. Just really disappointed I cannot eat it lol
I had the gyro bowl for the first time and thought it was really good. I've had the stuffed grape leaves and lemon rice soup several times and think this trio is my go-to order now from Athens.
Nice Greek diner! Service was great, food came out super quick, I love the open kitchen concept I could see the cook making my food until it put it on the counter for pick up! I ordered the chicken souvlaki, It was great and my husband ordered the new cheesesteak sandwich, he wanted a bigger serving, but it was good nonetheless.
David and the restaurant staff took great care of our group of 16 for a retirement luncheon on July 11, 2023. I called the day of the event and even with my last minute notification that we were coming, David and his staff accommodated us wonderfully. They reserved seating for the entire group, we were all able to sit together, and everything worked out great. This is the second retirement lunch we have had here in the last few months and everything worked fabulously both times. Thank you to all involved to make this day extra special and memorable for our coworker.
We came to Athens Souvlaki for dinner and absolutely loved it! The greek chicken salad is fantastic and comes with the best pita bread I’ve ever had. David, the manager, suggested pairing the salad with a moscato and it was fantastic. We will definitely be back!
The Greek salad and the grilled pita here is so addicting. It’s one of the few good options downtown for a quick lunch. Whenever I put an order in they always have it ready so so fast!
Definitely good authentic Greek food. They even roll the "r" in gyro" lol. We both ordered the chicken guro, came quick, hot & fresh. The manager brought some chicken breast to our table so we can taste the freshness. It had been off the grill for about 10 mins and was still juicy and heavily flavored. I'll surely be back.
The chicken was good. It was a good price for a quick abs simple lunch in Detroit. I'll be back to try some of the other dishes.
