Athena Greek Restaurant

I would say if you are only looking for a gyro, go ahead and stop in. The gyro meat was really juicy, and the pits was excellent… soft and warm. However, if you are looking for a nice Greek salad, it will be a huge disappointment. I’m 99% certain the dressing was just bottled Italian dressing. I tasted no olive oil or lemon in it whatsoever. And it looked exactly like Italian dressing as well. It has a transparent light orange color to it, and I could even see what looked like the Italian seasoning. I also did not care for the tzatziki… it may have been homemade, but it was a little lumpy, and little flavor. The falafel were just ok.

I was really craving Greek food and this place was the nearest place at the time of my craving. I got the #3 (regular gyros with fries and a drink) from her daily specials and her gyro meat is great! It has the right flavor to it and the sauce was not too bland either. I read a review earlier about how her fries were over salted but I thought they tasted pretty good! But I personally like more salt on my fries because I do not want to eat a bland fried potato stick. Overall, I would definitely come back again when I’m in this part of OKC.

I have lived by this restaurant for so long and I finally took the time to try it. I ordered the gyro combo which comes with fries and for .50 cents extra a drink. The lady that runs the place is super nice and really works hard. She told my husband and I that it would be about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. In all actuality it took almost 30 minutes for the food to be done. I couldn’t really complain about that though because she is a one woman show. When we got our food we headed home to try it. The gyro was good especially with all of the toppings and the Greek yogurt sauce. The biggest disappointment was the fries. They were so oversalted that I could not finish eating them. They also had a slightly weird taste but I’m sure that was because of the oil they are fried in at the time. Oh and she was out of pita bread so we got wheat tortillas instead. All in all I would come back but I wouldn’t order fries just a gyro.

I didn’t care for my experience here. The food was ok the but the place as a whole smelled really bad.

Great little hidden treasure. The gyros are awesome and the owner is very nice and welcoming. I always get the supreme gyro combo but many other items are available.
