Lamb-Beef Shawarma and Toasted Pita was the best meal I've had here in the 8 years I've lived in Astoria! This will definitely be a regular treat. Super flavorful meat and sauces, and paired perfectly with the buttery saffron rice, and veggies. Thank y'all for bringing this amazing spot to the Astoria food scene!

the shwarma platter has become one of my weekend choice of guilty pleasures. I tried just the rice and some hummus off a friend a while ago and its been stuck on my mind ever since -craving it, having to try it again!! it is absolutely delicious and more than filling for one.

The gyros were absolutely amazing! Only complaint I have was the fries were definitely overcooked and quite hard. I thought at first that they were just crispy, but they were very much overcooked, but this is the only time I have ever had any complaint about Athena's! Their food is always phenomenal. A little overcooked fry isn't gonna stop me from going back again and again.!!!

Gyro. Delicious lamb/beef meat. They paid attention to no french fry request.
Would get the tzatziki on the side next
time, as it was a bit too much, even
though really tasty with nice feta.

This was my first time eating here. I ordered the Lamb Beef/ Chicken Shawarma Combo and my husband ordered the Gyros with lamb and beef. My husband really liked his gyro but the Lamb Beef/ Chicken Shawarma Combo was absolutely delicious! The meat was tender and flavorful. The rice was unbelievably delicious and fragrant. Usually the rice in a combo is not worth eating but this was a star. Plus all the little tasty bits that come with it like the peppers and olives and red onion and cucumber add freshness. I will be back and reordering this. Unless I get the falafel instead.
