My husband and I were trolling around last week trying to find a new breakfast spot to try and stumbled across the Athenian Restaurant on Reading Rd in Sharonville.
I’ve been wanting to go since I love Greek food – so even though it was breakfast it seemed like a fine time to at least check it out. There are a lot of regulars and they must work early early EARLY because it was only 930am and out of 10 people – I was the only one ordering breakfast!
Larry got in and suddenly decided he needed lunch too and got a gyro combo. There was no tsatziki sauce and it was dry. We quickly realized this is a diner that also has a couple Greek items on the menu – and not the other way around. Not a bad thing – just something to realize going in.
I got the gyro breakfast. The eggs were cooked perfectly and this was not a greasy breakfast AT ALL! Seriously – it was all actually fairly dry. The potatoes didn’t have much flavor and were dry. The meat – well – it’s not like the kind they shave off the spit. This was more like a Greek version of Steak-ums and it was really dry.
Why Should You Go? I think if I’d gone in looking for diner food – I would have been fine. Just know that if you want Greek food – don’t go here. The staff was very friendly, service was quick and the meals weren’t bad – they just weren’t Greek. 🙁 But we’d go back for a burger or something like that.
I have never tried Greek dishes and based on your opinion, I may not want to try it in the future.

Cheer up Chris! Why not try other Greek restaurants. I'm sure you will love some other recipes.

On the right hands of a good cook or chef, Greek dishes would fit anyone's taste.

I'm planning to have a Lenten Season get-together at home and I think Greek foods would be a good idea. I choose nyc catering if this would push through.
