Athene’s - Vancouver, British Columbia

I was to meet a friend here for dinner on a Tuesday evening. We got there at 5:30pm and I dont know where to start with my dissapointment. I ordered the vegetarian plate and the food was not fresh at all. Rice tasted bland, the baked potatoes tasted like they ... were leftovers from lunch and not heated well. The salad was tasteless and the spinach in phyllo pastry was dry. The baklava was as hard as a rock. I don't know what was going on that day in the kitchen but there weren't any clients and I could see why. The waitress threw the cutlery at as and walked away to serve other tables. Service was subpar and food was tasteless. Not worth your time, unless my incedent was an outlier! Read more

Calamari was really good (perfectly cooked, moist, lightly battered). Dolmades were equally delicious. Only thing keeping this from getting 5 stars was the mushy rice and potatoes. The service was very good. I would recommend this restaurant for those who like calamari and dolmades.

The service here is painfully slow and inside is quite cold. We ordered a couple of lamb entrees, and recieved them with vegetables instead of Greek salad. The server said it always comes with vegetables, but the menu said Greek salad OR vegetables and we were never given a choice. ... The server said I could order a side salad, but I did not want to pay more money.. I ordered a side of pita bread that was hard and dry, and apparently does not come with tzaziki? It took forever to get the servers attention, even though they had 3 servers with only 7 tables being served... This place was the worst Greek restaurant I've ever been to. Overpriced and inauthentic. Save your money and go elsewhere!!! Read more

Their take-out is awful. One time they left the feta cheese on even though I requested to have no cheese and their delivery man was very late and very rude. Another time they did not include 1 of the 2 big packages of rice and potatoes in the order. Third ... time they did remove the feta cheese and did have both packages of rice and potatoes, but there was no tzatziki sauce at all. Don't bother ordering from them, and if you do, pick it up yourself and check that all the required contents are there before you walk away. Read more

The food was very good! The portions are very big so think twice if you want to order a Large or a Small. I wen there for lunch time, the service was excellent and overall a positive experience. A must if you want to have nice greek food in Kits.
