“ Very clean & plenty of seating. Super nice staff. Very quiet w/the only noise coming from the elevator music. The smells from the kitchen are mouthwatering! As someone who spent a lot of time in the Middle East, this place was spot on w/their food. The menu is very simplistic which makes it super easy to order or find something you want to try. Middle Eastern/Greek/a little italian/mexican flare is sure to land you something you would def enjoy. I ordered the Greek Chicken Souvlaki & the Greek Lemon Chicken. Chicken is absolute perfection. Their sauces were perfectly matched w/each dish. The bed of yellow rice goes so well w/the dish as a whole. Messed up and got too full for dessert. Will def include that on my next stop. Really excited to have found this place & really hope to see it around for a very long time! ”
“ I love athens! The food and service is so good. Hopefully someday they will move locations or have a second location. ”
“ What a hidden gem of a restaurant in Jonesboro! My husband and I had an amazing lunch this afternoon. I had the Greek cheeseburger and fries. He had the Athens salad with salmon. We were absolutely one-hundred-percent satisfied with our delicious meals, the friendliness of the staff, and the cleanliness of the restaurant! We come to Jonesboro frequently to spend time with our family here, and the next time we visit, Athens will be at the top of the list of our favorite dining places. ”
“ Salmon was a tad overcooked. Chicken also. Thing is the grape leaves are delectable and the meal was tasty. But overcooked is hard to overcome. ”
“ Walked in and got seated very quickly by the friendliest of service. Ambiance was welcoming and clean. We started off with the falafel appetizer which was some of the better falafel I have had. I ordered the fajita platter and it was very good! It's great to see Jonesboro get a Greek restaurant that is actually good. Will be back to try more things! ”
“ A friend and I decided to try out this relatively new restaurant. The service was very attentive and friendly. The food was almost perfectly prepared. For an appetizer, I had the stuffed mushrooms, which weren't altogether that flavorful to me. For my entree, I went for the fajita platter, which included delicious lamb and chicken meat and vegetables over rice. The portion size was enormous! It also included a small salad, pieces of pita bread, and taziki sauce. All of the ingredients were really fresh and tasty. I took home an order of homemade baklava, which was made with walnut and pistachios. So delicious. I'm also glad that I listened to my server's recommendation to try their Arabic tea. ”
“ I had the lemon chicken. it was delicious. Service is excellent. Food came out fast. I recommend this Greek restaurant ”
