Reviews for Athena Restaurant in Monroe, LA
As an avid food lover and frequent traveler, I stopped by this place a few miles from Interstate 20. Seeking a Mediterranean... dish of Gyros and pita bread. I was not disappointed in any aspect of my meal. The salad was tasty with olive oil and a hint ofvinegar. Chickpea turned into hummus paired nicely with pita bread and rice. I will definitely recommend and return to Athena! Read more
I want to start by noting that I ordered my food to go. I don't care what restaurant it is, if you order your food to go it is... not nearly as good. That being said, the food was subpar. I felt my chicken was a bit dry and the hummus was a bit runny. Thehummus did have a good flavor though and I loved the feta salad. The waitress was very polite and welcoming. There wasn't anyonein the restaurant because I was having a very late lunch, but I was surprised not to see anyone even on a Sunday. I would liketo go again and eat on location. I will update my review accordingly. Read more
Ordered pick-up. A guy was at the window for 15 minutes+ during lunch time. I wish they would have told him to pull forward... because I was boxed in... Fortunately, the car behind me moved so I could go in and get my order. Ordered the AppetizerSampler. Lots of meat! They do not skimp on this. As for the rest, sub-par. To me, it was not advertised for what you received.Need more pitas for the meat, the hummus is lacking flavor, loved the tzakki sauce.... Said 10 things, however I do not countpita, tzakki, and hummus as 3 since they come with everything. Even if I did, only had 9. Not worth the price. Read more
I never really had Mediterranean food before this year, so we tried it out... Dude, it's SOO good here! We got gyros and an... order of fried cheese, and everything was amazing! Read more
It really pains me to give them a 2 star. Poor service and food was not worth the time it took to place the order. Everyone... loves to be hung up on, but I was determined to get my falafel, so I went inside to order. With the drive-through, you call inI guess because their gate intercom doesn't work. The better part of $20 and 1 sandwich thrown away. Sorry for any grammaticalor spelling errors but I've put too much effort into this already. Read more

Our dinner and service was phenomenal. I had the vegetarian plate, he had the 3 lamb shanks plate, and the babaganouch. We were... the only ones in there tonight since it was an hour til closing but we had such a wonderful experience! Sad that they are nolonger in the bigger building on 18th street, but I'm glad they did relocate and reopen. Read more
Comfortable, peaceful atmosphere with the best change of pace cuisine in the area. Food presentation is always appealing and... portion size is always 'just right': enough to satisfy one's appetite without leaving you stuffed. Staff is attentive withoutbeing an annoying nuisance. If one is unfamiliar with menu items, wait staff is knowledgeable and helpful in giving adequatedescription of menu items. Athena is one of the best dining options in the Monroe area. Read more
