Ordered the gyro combo with fries and a drink for $ 11.99 and was surprised at how much meat they stuffed into the pita - it was pretty tasty too Fries were delish -love the seasoned salt they used Need to go back and try other menu items Ambiance -Small cafe prob do more takeout than eat in Service- - staff not the friendliest that day but I'm sure it's because they were closing up shop in 30 mins- oops

my boyfriend and i are new to the area and tonight we decided on greek for dinner; hard to pass up a cute, local joint called athens cafe! it's cozy and worn-in inside and the service is friendly, prompt and accurate! under $25 for two entrees and it's a considerable amount of food! i got the vegetarian combo with hummus and my boyfriend got the athenian chicken with rice! both are delicious and were great to take home for dinner. will definitely be coming back!

So freakin good. Best spinach pie I've ever had. Grape leaves are perfect. Falafel and hummus are excellent. I'm in love!

I frequent Athens Cafe to get the gyro lunch combo. I haven't tried much else, but the gyro combo is a large amount of food for $13. Sometimes I'll get half rice, half hummus to go with the lamb and chicken that comes with. The side salad, pita and a drink also come with the combo meal. The chicken and lamb are great, the rice is a little on the dry side but still good. The pita is fairly thin and can end up breaking if you put too much in. Service is good, I think the owner recognizes me and is prompt on preparing my to-go order. Ambiance is what I would expect, although the restaurant is not up to date, it's fine to stop in and eat at a table. They have lots of items for purchase such as baklava and homemade hummus with different ingredients. Worth stopping in!

Athen's Cafe has been around for decades, but frankly, it looks like it's been around since "The Odyssey" was written in the seventh century, BC by that Homer guy (the one before Homer Simpson). Or perhaps that was when they last remodeled the place and it was opened even earlier. I have to get this part out of the way first: This is the saddest, least appealing restaurant interior that I've ever seen in the United States. The food photos on the wall are old and faded and the prices were removed years ago. I don't even WANT to know what the kitchen looks like. Athen's has no website. It's page on Facebook contains a menu from 2013 and the "Daily Specials" board in the restaurant has not changed since the Vietnam War ended. Also, this will be a bit tricky to find the first time you go. It's address is West Broadway in Robbinsdale, but you have to go to the BACK of the two-sided mall because it's facing Bottineau Blvd (which has way too many vowels) and it's off 41st Avenue. It could be a CIA front, but that's just a guess. OK. Let's move on. What propels this place from a one-star to a four-star rating is that the food is consistently excellent, the portion quantity is huge, and the prices are low. The gyros are excellent and the hummus is five-star quality. The salads have fresh lettuce and I appreciate the variety and freshness of veggies they include, even though it's a side-salad. The pita bread is soft and fresh. I have ordered the combo meals and they can easily feed three people. I advise you to order light because the quantities are surprisingly large. So despite what this place looks like (and what the FDA might find), the food really is good and I've never had any issues with it. If your partner is a clean-freak, I recommend take-out! In fact, if you were having a party, this food would be a great choice because it's actually plated very well. I have been coming to Athens frequently for at least 20 years, and do highly recommend it. I wish instead of a tip jar, they had a remodeling jar. I definitely would contribute to that.

Super fast and flavorful takeout! The line is long but it moves very quickly Ordered the two meat gyro of chicken and lamb which comes with a choice of rice, hummus or fries. Picked the rice. The meal also includes salad, pita bread and a drink from the soda fountain. Food is very flavorful and oh, what a good deal for $11.86. It's a huge serving that's good for 2 people, and since I'm just myself it's a meal that stretches out for a couple of days. The authentic Greek salad, has all the works... featuring tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives, Feta, oregano and olive oil. Opah!

Run here! Stop reading-go now! My friend got us a two person combo from here and it was INCREDIBLE!!! We loved all the different meats that came in it! The beef was probably my favorite and I really liked the chicken too. And the grilled onions! Yes please! The Greek salad was good-I would have liked more olives and I love olives so there are never enough. My husband loved the falafel and I didn't. Hummus was super duper creamy! So creamy-yummy! The baba ganoush was good and very smoky! They put them in styrofoam which I thought was weird but whatever. I'm looking forward to going back and getting some sandwiches. Stellar spot in Robbinsdale!

Yum yum yum. This is my favorite place to get Greek in the cities. It's a total hole in the wall, inside an old business strip type building. All of the employees are flirty and effortlessly kind in that hallmark Mediterranean way - it's my FAVORITE! The gyro is phenomenal. The stuffed grape leaves are okay, but I've got high standards for those. Truthfully, the best stuffed grape leaves you'll find are Holy Land ones - get them at Whole Foods or go to Holy Land in Minneapolis. I have yet to go, but have never been disappointed by their food. Athens is the best.

Dude..... Everytime I come to town, my friend and I get some delicious Gyros from here. This shopping plaza Greek place is the very definition of a delicious dive! The gyro platters are yum yum yummy! I always get some extra pepper and extra Tzatziki sauce. The owner gives my friend occasional discount coupons !

Styrofoam takeout boxes aren't the most glamorous. But you hum-must admit, it's really the food inside that counts... :) I had the Gyro Combo with Marinated Chicken and Lamb Gyro Meat, and a side of Hummus This dish also came with pitas, a salad, and hummus. It was all good, but the meat and hummus... Greek-straordinary The gyro meat was so fresh, and the chicken was moist, flavorful, and marinated with an insane blend of spices; it has permanent space reserved in my memory. The hummus appeared really liquid, so I was skeptical. Until it was all gone. Oh my goodness, that stuff was fantastic! On the pita and for dipping the meat. Wow. Athens cafe is little, but they pack a punch for a low price. All hummus-lovers and meat maniacs need to try it
