Our first visit to Athena was a great one! Always drove by but never stopped. We are quite the foodie family and love authentic cuisine. Everyone was super friendly from the second we walked in the door from the staff to the owner. There was live Greek music playing (a Sat. Night) which topped off our authentic Greek dining experience. We ordered the Tzatziki, Scordalia, & Hummus cold combo appetizer plate to share & my husband had the fried Smelts. Now being Italian and not Greek he grew up on the East Coast enjoying Smelts, since moving to Scottsdale 5 yrs. ago we have yet to find but 1 Italian restaurant that even knew what smelts were let alone serve them. They were great!! Then all of us had the Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs with delicious rice with veggies. My kids loved them too! Tender very flavorful chicken well seasoned that we highly recommend to anyone! We also had a free dessert offered on Yelp for checking in! Ghalaktoboureko-Semolina cream custard filled filo, delish! We will definatley be back and recommend to others! A true Greek dining experience in Scottsdale!
