Reviews for Athena's Greek & European Kitchen in Houston, TX

Server was just the right balance of attentive without hovering. I ordered the gyros sandwich for a quick lunch. Ordered with... a side of lemon potato wedges. Gyro meat was amazing, great balance of flavors in every bite. Pita bread so fresh I should haveasked if it's hand made in house. I found the potatoes on the bland side, the server noticed I added salt, and asked if Ineeded anything. I asked for paprika. They brought out the paprika, but I also got the very Greek sounding cook. Who askedwhat was going on, I said the potatoes were not quite what I expected. She came back a few minutes later with more potatowedges that were beyond amazing. I would go back just for those potatoes. Now I need to go try more dishes to see if everythingis just as good. Price is a little bit higher than your average casual restaurant, but the food quality and the service areworth it in my opinion. Read more

Great food and atmospher. Music was a little loud for me but otherwise it was an overall great experience. The gyros were tender... and wonderful, the beef kabobs and shrimp kabobs were great. The sauteed mushrooms were delicious. Will return Read more

This was an awesome Greek eatery my daughter picked out for a late lunch. The food was phenomenal and fresh. The waiter was very... knowledgeable about the wines and even offered a taste test to help with my selection. The calamari and olive/feta cheeseappetizers were a good start to the meal. My steak came out at the perfect temperature with desired firmness. And I could've ateabout 3 slices of the tiramisu, it was just delicious. Read more

First time visiting and not the last. We got the hummus appetizer and glad we did. It was smooth and creamy and flavorful. The... pita bread is so good, I'm glad they don't give you too many cause we would have filled up on just that ???? I had the gyroplate which was just amazing. The meat so much flavor and crazy tender. Glad I didn't eat the whole thing cause the baklava thatfollowed was the best I've ever had. We can't wait to go back and work or way through the menu ????

If only I could give the service 6 stars... Staff are super friendly! Super duper helpful! The food was nice, just a little too... salty but then again, I am pretty sure that's the Mediterranean style. The baklava was OK, I am not the professional at this soI don't really want to comment on it. The lamb leg and the Gyro was great, and the flaming cheese was pretty good. A very verysolid restaurant.

Wow,wow,wow. What an amazing first experience at this hidden gem! From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out we... were treated like family, and never had to ask for anything. All the staff worked together as a team, and it shows. Price, foodquality, service, all outstanding. We were even given free desert, one for the table and one to-go. The owner even came overasked us how everything was, and treated us like we were old friends, even hugging my girlfriend on the way out! Will recommendover and over again, and I wish nothing but success for this fine establishment. ???????????????? Read more

The food is only half the experience! BF and I finally made it in after driving past this place so many times on our way home.... Evenings and weekends you will surely eat with a crowd. We came during lunch and mostly had the entire place to ourselves. Mariamade us feel like we were eating in our mothers kitchen. Not to mention she was in the kitchen cooking, dancing and throwingplates!! Ofcourse we took home a bottle of Greek wine. I will be back with friends on a Saturday. Thank you Maria!!! Read more

You know the food is going to be good when you pull up & there's a Greek gentleman casually smoking his cigarette outside the... door looking happy & relaxed! The bread they serve is super yummy & melts in your mouth! So light & tasty! We also tried thehummus (which was delicious) along with the gyro & greek potatoes. They were all seasoned perfectly! This is definitely goingdown as one of our "go to" spots! Thanks for the great food! Read more
