Cafe Athena exceeded my expectations with their Chicken Aioli Pita Wrap!!! The flavors were a delightful blend of tender chicken, sundried tomatoes, fresh pesto dressed geeens, and a flavorful aioli on the side, creating  satisfying and well-balanced meal. I love that you can always count on a fresh side pickle! The efficient delivery service maintained the freshness of the dish, making it a standout choice for a delicious and convenient dining experience -- I seriously order this 4-5 times a month! 

Ordered the gyro to go. Worst one I've ever had. Sauce came on the side, gyro was pretty much all meat which would normally be kinda cool but it was dry, hardly any lettuce or anything else in it. Looked like a cool place inside but the gyro sucked.

The <<taggedItemId=5872931>>gyros<</taggedItemId>> was delicious and the <<taggedItemId=5872884>>baklava<</taggedItemId>> was SO so yummy I can't even describe it. Best I've had in a long time, highly recommend Cafe Athena!

The gyros was delicious and the baklava was SO so yummy I can't even describe it. Best I've had in a long time, highly recommend Cafe Athena!

Consistently good quality food! I miss their sister restaurant (Apollonia's closed) that was closer to my home. But I am so happy to have Cafe Athena for the same taste and commitment to quality. They package to go orders with care as well- so no accidental spills. 

 I loved the dishes I ordered. I love Mediterranean food & I have eaten at
 Many, many of the Med Restaurants in
San Diego. This is th best I've had so far. The lemon egg soup was perfect seasoned & the bits of celery, carrot, onion gave it color & texture. And lovely moist chunks of chicken breast made this soup sublime. The spinach feta cheese pastry triangles were light, crisp & very tasty. 
Definately a winner where I will return     often.
