Reviews for Athenian Garden in Galloway, NJ
So disappointed as been coming here for a few years. Food is FANTASTIC! Service is lacking. Waiter makes up the experience... and he fell well short of expectations. After all how hard is it to say hello to the table? He actually switched my bill atcheck out with a different amount After initially presenting the check - unethical and should have pointed out he forgot thingsthe first time. I thought he was actually comping the appetizers due to forgetting things. Again interact with the guests ifyou are a waiter. Forgot to bring pita for the 3 platters and gave me an attitude when asked after tracking him down. Basically threw down the food and left. No tap water at a restaurant? Never heard of this policy and charges per water bottleinstead as said he was a capitalist. For the first time left $0 tip as it was not deserved. I hope he realizes he spoiled theevening and self reflects on how he acted and the service he provided if he sees this. Won?t be back. Read more
Thank you Nick Psounos & Roula Psounos for the delicious Greek Salad. The marinated chicken skewer was cooked perfectly. Loved... the warm pita bread and the dressing was spot on. ???????????????? Read more
A true hidden gem not far from the shore and worth the short drive. Everything was made to order and it showed - the bass and... gyro were fabulous, as was the mezze triò. Cozy atmosphere, fresh and authentic Greek food, and BYOB is always a plus! Read more
I went to Athenian Garden last night with my ten month old baby and one other adult. We were having a pleasant meal, and my... baby was completely happy. But because she is a baby and was happy, she was letting us know about her happiness by making sortof loud happy baby noises once in a while. No one was bothered at all, and the table next to us also had a few young children. There were only three other tables filled in the restaurant other than our table. However, about halfway through our meal theowner very rudely came over to the table to say "your baby is being too loud" and basically telling us to leave. It was so rudethat the waitress came over after to apologize for the owner's comments, and I could hear her chef-husband afterward telling hiswife that it was not okay to do. We quickly finished, paid, and left. And I promise we will not be back even though we livenearby. This restaurant is not formal enough to have such a policy. And if a restaurant is not going to permit happy children toeat there, that should be published on their website. I would understand if my baby were crying and making a scene, but that isnot what was going on. Read more
I?ve been here a few times but tonight was my first time back in a long time. I came with family on a busier than usual Tuesday... night and had a brand new server (blonde woman; can?t recall her name). She was professional and kind and very accommodating.The food was absolutely awesome! The grape leaves were my favorite. We enjoyed the trio dip, feta and olives platter, chickensoup, gyro platter, lemon potatoes, and the chicken kebabs. Everything was perfect and fresh AND very reasonably priced. It tooka bit longer than expected for entrees to come out, but being in the service industry, I understand how hectic it can be whenmany parties order at once. The food was definitely worth the wait! This place is cozy and pleasant, truly a hidden gem. Woulddefinitely recommend! Read more
The appetizer we had (egg plant and 2 Greek dips) were fresh and tasted excellent. I got the gyro platter, so fresh and also... tasted soooooo good. My wife got the lamb platter the lamb was to die for. It was really that good. Read more
I ordered through Doordash and typically expect an okay experience after food is picked up and delivered. This exceeded my... expectations and may have been the best Doordash order I?ve ever gotten. Even after a bit of a drive the food was phenomenal.Huge portions and absolutely delicious. I?ll definitely be making this a regular spot and look forward to trying it fresh at therestaurant!
