ATHENA’S GREEK & EUROPEAN KITCHEN
I
P L AC E S TO E AT By Nancy Eugenio
finally hit up Athena's Greek & European Kitchen for lunch today and everything was fabulous! The restaurant is a lot bigger than I expected, so there is plenty of room to space out.
I started with a delicious hummus and warm pita, which was fantastic. I ordered beef Souvlaki for my main course. The beef was well seasoned, extremely tender and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The Souvlaki also came with a side of Greek salad. The portion size for what I had was very good. I ate the whole kabob, but not all the fries. For the kabob and the hummus, I paid less than $20, and the hummus was a generous portion. I wish that I had asked for more pita, though. Service was fantastic. Everyone was polite and the server always made sure our glasses were full. Everyone wore masks and social distancing was enforced. The owner, Maria, came by to check on us and to see how we liked the food. She was very nice. I visited Greece (Mykonos) almost 17 years ago, and still dream about the food. Especially the Greek salad and the slice of feta they would put in it. I’m hoping this place will fill that void. Athena’s Greek Kitchen has an extensive menu, and you betcha I am planning on trying out almost everything. Next up will be the lamb chops because if you know me, you know (that) I love them.
