athena greek & lebanese grill

good. ive been coming here for a while and the food is genuinely good. ofcourse, you can taste when the food isnt fresh like the grape leaves, hummus, and ground meat. the staff is quite awkward, tattooeed ungroomed and dressed unproffessionally.serviceis very fast! the manager is awesome and only until recently did i have a decent looking waitress i didnt catch her name but she was middle eastern and very sincere! i had a very pleasant experience. i do suggest the chicken shawarma plate but it isnt what you think. its just chicken breasts sliced. if you go make sure you request the middle eastern waitress and lebanese ice tea. you will not regret it.

good food.. terrible service. i love greek food and would go back but theservicesucks so bad i would expect to be there for a long time.

athena's is my "go-to" for greek / lebanese food in shreveport. since the closing of albasha, they now carry the torch for great mediterranean dishes. their recent remodel has made the place more inviting with large tables for a great family meal or get together with friends. the food andservicecontinue to improve as opposed to slipping over time like many local establishments. i enjoy the many different appetizers  they offer especially the baba ghanouj a dish i rarely order, i'm not usually a big fan, but athena's is fantastic! i also like their hummus, it's thick with a smooth texture and taste, but look out for the jalapeno oil mixture in the center! great flavor and heat if you desire. the entrees run the gamut from veggie samplers and kebabs to fish and shrimp dishes to great meat plates including some of the finest lamb chops i've had, simply delicious! i can recommend most any dish, i've yet to find anything i don't enjoy here. try the lebanese or mango tea for a cool refreshing change, leave the soda fountain for fast food restaurants! after your meal take a look in the back. they have a small grocery of exotic middle eastern foods and hookah, fun to look at and an adventure to try. (the food that is, leave the hookah alone kids)

not impressed at all. i had the moussaka which came with some tasteless rice and hummus. for dessert i had the baklava which was so dry it could not be eaten. i did not like the moussaka at all. i do not think that hummus is an acceptable side dish for a meal. it should be on the appetizer menu. something more substantial should accompany the tasteless rice. the only good thing i had was the salad that came with the meal. it was very good. theservicewas very good. i will not be going back to this restaurant again.

food was good although i've had better or sure.servicewas absolutely awful which is a shame because i would like to visit again. our waitress essentially forgot about us after we got our food. didn't check in once and we had to go up front to ask for our check. hopefully it was just an off night. we really would like to give it a second change.

first time eating greek...loved it... first time eating greek food. i really didn't know what to choose on their menu. after talking with the waitress, she suggested that we order the plate for 2 because it had a little of everything on it. my wife & i loved it & it was very well worth the money. theservicewas great also, smiling waitress & product knowledge. we will defintley eat there again in the future.

love this restaurant!. my husband and i have been here four times, and we've never had a bad experience. i will agree with the other posters who said the atmosphere is lacking, but i really don't care as long as the food is delicious and theserviceis good. i've never had a problem with any of the waiters there, and the food has been outstanding every time. i highly recommend the grape leaves!

usually the food is wonderful,servicehas been terrible. i am not considering going back for a spell.

good food and byob. the food andservicehas been consistently good. the atmosphere is ok. one of the best part's is that it's byob w/no uncorking fee, which can save you $ on your bill.

good good. food is delicious, servings are a good size,servicewas prompt. best gyro meat we've tasted.

great food. the food was great. loved the hummos and falafel , i can't get enough of it. i recommend it to all. our waitor is a very nice young man can't recall his name but he has a beard, very sweet . who served us well, the food and theservicethere is very good. we will definitely be back.

byob & no flavor. this restaurant is byob, so unless you plan ahead there will be no glass of wine with your lamb. their hummus has no flavor at all. their chicken shawarma does not resemble their description of the dish nor does it compare to other restaurants, though the flavor was good: it was made of thigh meat & stir fried.

our waiter was great. if he cleaned up his look a little bit he would be an asset to a pricey restaurant. hisserviceand intuition was impeccable.

they have a mini grocery store which has some great treats. you can also hookah smoke there which is really cool.
