Tender, seasoned gyro meat served on a platter with rice, salad, pita bread, and our signature tzatziki sauce — a customer favorite.
Juicy marinated chicken shawarma wrapped in warm pita with hummus, garlic sauce, fresh vegetables, and pickles — a must-try.
Layers of flaky phyllo pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with honey syrup — our signature homemade dessert.
Had the gyros, they were very tasty. And they were loaded up, very filling. The meat and veggies were fresh. The place was clean and well maintained. So if you're hungry for a gyro, most definitely stop in here.

I'm in love! Athena Cafe is consistently incredible. I got a gyro meal and a juice, and it was perfect. It was the most beautifully plated takeout I've ever had, and tasted just as good as it looked. The juice was freshly squeezed and refreshing.

Honestly, probably the best Greek food in Metairie. Everything was fresh and seasoned to perfection! I legit went to this place tonight on a whim and was not disappointed. The guys who made the food were really personable and nice!
