This restaurant serves traditional Greek cuisine in San Jose and provides a more upscale dining experience compared to Nick the Greek. The menu features a diverse selection of options, so you’re sure to find something that will satisfy your hunger. They also provide halal options for those who require them. The service is usually good, but it's essential to be patient and courteous to the staff, especially during busy periods when there may only be one or two waitstaff on duty. Parking can be limited, but there's plenty of street parking available. Be sure to try the gyro wraps—they're a classic favorite!
I've been visiting Athena Grill for the past decade, on and off. It's a fantastic lunch spot for friends and colleagues to gather for a quick meal. The portions are generous, and the food is delicious. I recommend arriving by 11:45 AM to avoid heavy traffic. During Covid, they changed their ordering system, so you no longer need to stand in line. Instead, you can simply take a seat, and a staff member will come by to take your order. This system was quick and efficient, especially with the restaurant operating at 30% capacity. I highly recommend this place!
We ordered the mixed grill, a Mediterranean salad with gyro, and grilled octopus for our appetizer. For dessert, we enjoyed walnut cake and rice pudding. Everything was delicious and tasted incredibly authentic. When we returned for lunch, the restaurant was lively! We tried the lamb gyro, spanakopita, and moussaka, and the lunch portions were huge! The dipping sauce for the fries was fantastic as well. We absolutely love this place!
The service at Athena Grill was enjoyable, and our waitress was very courteous. We ordered a falafel wrap and chicken souvlaki with garlic fries. Unfortunately, the garlic fries were not fresh and didn't taste very good. The falafel wrap was missing hot sauce, and the sour cream and tomatoes were not chopped properly. Furthermore, the chicken souvlaki was quite bland and lacked flavor.

I had a late Thanksgiving meal with my mom and was glad to find a Middle Eastern restaurant open on Monday. Unfortunately, the low turnout impacted the atmosphere, which was a bit disappointing. I liked the checked tablecloths I saw in the advertisement. The food was decent, but it wasn't served hot. The sauce for the dolmas was also a letdown.
Nestled between commercial buildings and a bit off the beaten path, this restaurant surprised us with its delicious food. It turned out to be the ideal place for a business dinner.
The food was absolutely excellent, and the staff were incredibly helpful. I ordered the lamb wrap, which was quite large, and my colleagues' meals looked fantastic too.
I had a wonderful lunch this afternoon! I especially loved the octopus, which was incredibly tender and served with a delicious sauce!

The octopus appetizer was fantastic—fresh and tender. The seabream was grilled to perfection and also very fresh!
The food and service were excellent. The portion sizes were generous and the dishes were very delicious.
