Restaurant Athena in Lübeck

Very good Greek restaurant. Good portions and tasty food. The family works together there. It's a bit hidden in a residential area, so I think it's an insider tip...I'd love to come back

Great value for money and very tasty! Is our regular restaurant.

We recently had dinner at this restaurant and were looking forward to some traditional Greek cuisine. The ambience doesn't exactly invite you to linger for a long time, the seating is worn out and the entire furnishings have seen better days and appear worn out. Now I come to the worst part of the evening and this is the service. I was greeted by a nice young man who took my order, but when we made a complaint we were treated so harshly by the manager of the house, who made a rude and very unfriendly, ignorant impression on me, that as a result I no longer go to this restaurant will visit. The boss has no politeness or hospitality whatsoever, you should eat your food and keep your mouth shut. I don't know that from my holidays in Greece. There are much better alternatives in Lübeck where you can remember your holidays in Greece.

The food was tasty, but I would have hoped for more from the portion size and the side salad was also quite spartan. (A bit of iceberg lettuce and coleslaw no cucumber, tomato, onion etc.)

The Greek restaurant Athena in Lübeck is a real insider tip! The cozy atmosphere invites you to linger, and there is even a separate area for smokers. The food is not only delicious, but also available at fair prices. Definitely worth a visit!

We come here often, the food tastes excellent. Gyros gratinated in particular are highly recommended. Our server was extremely attentive, friendly and professional. His food and drink recommendations are excellent and fit our preferences perfectly. Many thanks to Pascal and the entire team – we’ll be happy to come back!

Never again - especially not as a disabled person!! The restaurant was very full - and therefore loud. We were seated at a table of 4 with 6 people - even though we had reserved well in advance. There was absolutely no help at all when it came to putting the wheelchair somewhere - they made it clear to us that disabled people were not welcome in this restaurant. You just don't know where to put it. It was actually expected that my husband would eat in a wheelchair - and not just sit on a chair (which, thank God, he can still do). The food was carelessly "slammed" onto the table and we had to ask several times for drinks. The staff was thoroughly unfriendly. The food itself was okay - nothing special. Maybe it was because of the vouchers we had. Only: if you don't want to have new guests, you shouldn't take part in the "Schlemmerblock" campaign. We definitely won't come back for THE "treatment"!! Oh yes, the crowning glory was the end. On the way to the toilet just before we left, I walked past open buckets in the hallway with the evening's rubbish - just disgusting!! Something like that doesn't work when there are still guests there - even if they are the last ones.

The food is good, but everyone is always unfriendly. I order via Lieferando and they don't know anything about my order. I'm told not to order through Lieferando because it'll go wrong. Yes, then it doesn't offer it? General unfriendliness with some defects. Not recommended

Our favorite Greek with the best tzatziki, garlic bread and gyros!!

The food was super tasty and good portions

Very unfriendly, the delivery person talked loudly on the phone even though the children were sleeping. He had no consideration on the phone. The employee was aggressive and threatened me with stress. That's the last thing. I ordered here for the first and last time. What they lack is respect and friendliness

Great food and friendly service. We became aware of the restaurant through the voucher book. The gyro was so juicy. If we lived in Lübeck, Athena could be our favorite restaurant.

The food was super tasty and the portions were large so that you were well full. The staff was super friendly and our child was also warmly welcomed and had a generous children's portion. We can only recommend this restaurant!

Food delicious. Were there with 8 people. We liked it.

Unfortunately the ambience leaves a lot to be desired. The tables and seats are not particularly clean and do not invite you to linger for a long time. The outside area isn't particularly nice either. The service is very nice and familiar. The children immediately got something to paint. The food is solid, but I've had much better Greek food.

Between meals we were always asked if we had any wishes. Nice, accommodating Polite. Reasonably priced

Really good gyros. Not everyone can!

The operation is a bit chaotic.

Very nice, good prices, good quality - cozy - simply Greek like on holiday...

Good friendly and ok for the price. The food is delicious. Table reservation recommended.

Have been there several times, always satisfied!! Ordered today with a gourmet book and 2 x gyros plates. You could eat it with lots of tzatziki (ordered extra). Fries were sometimes hard, I also knew the meat better, lots of edges and dry!!!. Overall, we weren't happy at all today. Oops, almost forgot, the portions are not enough for men!!! Savings are being made everywhere!!! It's done for us for now. Too bad

Nice staff, delicious food and justified prices. Just great

I've been to Athena several times and each time I've been very satisfied. The food is really delicious, the portions are more than sufficient and the staff is very friendly!

Delicious food, nothing to say against it. We had a lovely chat with Pascal and would love to come back!

As always, impeccable food and don't forget to mention the super nice staff. You can talk to anyone here, greetings Pascal! Reason enough to come here regularly!

Nice service and delicious food

The staff says you can pay by card. Under dubious and cheap pretexts, cash is supposed to be paid at the end. I don't want to make any false assumptions, but it was a very strange situation... Employees try to force tips in unpleasant ways...

So far I've only had experience with one gyro with local delivery <600 meters... the gyro was okay...but unfortunately it was just okay...the fries were latsxhig...mostly my hunger for cigarettes leads me to this place...maybee i try eat in house next time...hope i""ll be astonished...

We were there with a larger group. The number of people probably caused the service to become overwhelmed. When you placed your order you were basically shouted at. I chose the grill plate. The portion could have been a little larger for my taste, especially given the price. The meat was fine in terms of production, but the fries were soaked in fat and were not very enjoyable. The starter salad also seemed a bit bland. Paying with EC CARD was a real struggle. Sometimes the device didn't work, sometimes the staff was simply overwhelmed, so you ended up being criticized if you only wanted to pay by card. The only response to criticism was “there are other places.” Very unprofessional for me. I probably won't visit this place again

We were there in a larger group and we all didn't like it. The service was very bad, we had to wait a long time and were complained about. The next day several of us had stomach pains from eating.

All in all, unfortunately not recommended, the staff speaks to you in a rude, almost military tone. After a long wait, the food wasn't really good either and some had stomach pains or similar complaints afterwards.

The food and service were good, I would love to come back. There's even a smoking room inside. 😎

We were there with friends (and 2 gourmets). Also 3 small kids. The vouchers were accepted without any problems and of course deducted. We didn't have the impression that we were treated differently / worse. Waiter seemed a bit grumpy but tried hard nonetheless. Overall, good. Food is a matter of taste. All 4 adults thought it was OK but nothing more. Let me suggest the Greeks in Ahrensbök as an alternative. No comparison.

Food and drinks are very tasty and inexpensive. Service is very quick and easy

We got a table for 2 people at short notice. The food was very tasty, the meat was tender and cooked to perfection. Portions made just for us, nothing was left lying around and we were well full. 😋👌👍 The service was very attentive and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommended! Unfortunately we live 200 km away, otherwise we would like to come back.

Food was delicious, service was very attentive...decoration is debatable, we felt comfortable! Thank you very much

It's already a cult for us when we're in Lübeck. Delicious and family friendly

Netter Empfang (selbst ohne Reservierung) freundliche Bedienung, gutes Essen. Danke (waren beruflich einen Tag in Lübeck)

Gutes und preiswertes Essen. Wenn es am WE voll wird, mit langen Wartezeiten rechnen.

Freundliches Personal und gutes Essen

Gutes Restaurant mit den typisch angebotenen griechischen Speisen. Gute Qualität der Zutaten

Heute zum ersten, aber sicherlich nicht zum letzten Mal im Athena essen gewesen. Ich wurde sehr freundlich aufgenommen und erlebte einen erstklassigen Service. Das Essen schmeckte hervorragend das Fleisch war zart und saftig, zu Beginn gab es einen schön angerichteten Salatteller mit knackigen, frischen Salaten und einem leckeren Dressing. Zum Dessert genehmigte ich mir einen Schokoladeneisbecher, der wie alles andere auch hervorragend war. Hier stimmt alles. Das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis und die Qualität! Meine absolute Empfehlung!

War sehr schön,nette Bedienung und essen war sehr gut.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Selbst die Leber war zart. (Das bekommt nicht jeder hin). Wartezeit in Ordnung. Alles sauber. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Leckeres Essen und sehr freundliche Bedienung

Wir waren zu sechs dort und muss ich sagen lustige Kellner das Essen war tip top kein Grund zu meckern. Uns hat das sehr gut gefallen

Mein Sohn hat es entdeckt und wir waren wirklich sehr angetan von diesem schönen Restaurant mit lecker Essen und superfreundlicher Bedienung. Die Idee das Mittwoch Damentag ist ,ist eine nette Idee. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Sehr schön eingerichtet, sehr nette Mitarbeiter und sehr leckeres Essen!

Essen war ok, es hat etwas die würze und die röstaromen gefehlt......ansonsten war der Preis echt günstig für die Menge, die man bekommt

Essen lecker , freundliche Bedienung, leider etwas versteckt.

Sehe leckeres Essen zu fairen Preisen! Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Keine langen Wartezeiten und an Ouzo mangelt es auch nie. Immer wieder gerne !

Super Personal, gutes Essen leider diesmal etwas zu wenig. Männer sind nicht satt geworden. Ist aber die Ausnahme gewesen sonst immer reichlich.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Ich kann vor allem die Vorspeisenplatte empfehlen und das Fleisch ist immer sehr lecker. Am besten setzt man sich nach draußen da es innen manchmal sehr laut werden kann. Der Außenbereich ist gepflegt und ist nicht zu laut.

Sehr leckeres Essen... Schnelle freundliche Bedienung... gute Portion... leckerer Ouzo... Gerne wieder... :)

Toller Grieche,Atmosphäre, Bedienung voll klasse.Jederzeit wieder,nur zu empfehlen

Entgegen der Rezensionen waren wir nicht so zufrieden. Das Restaurant ähnelt einem kleinen Rümpelladen, der Außenbereich ist nicht besonders schön angelegt. Der Service war nett und schnell unterwegs, jedoch ist das äußere Erscheinungsbild eher unangemessen. Das Essen war okay, Pommes ungenießbar und hart frittiert. Kurzum, wir würde nicht wiederkommen.

Sehr lecker, tolles Ambiente, freundliches Personal

Seit viele Jahren waren wir treue Gäste. Wie man es allerdings innerhalb der letzten zwei Jahre von "preiswert und gut" auf "teuer und mäßig" geschafft hat, ist schon eine Leistung an sich.

Das Essen war superlecker! Ich habe den Artemisteller gewählt! Sehr zu empfehlen! Ganz besonderen Dank an Pascal, der einen perfekten Service gemacht hat! Dankeschön! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Die Atmosphäre war warm und einladend, und das Personal war äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir bekamen Empfehlungen und Erklärungen der verschiedenen Gerichte und deren Zubereitung. Der Service war schnell und effizient, ohne dabei an Aufmerksamkeit zu sparen. Das Essen war von toller Qualität und hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Ich kann dieses Restaurant jedem empfehlen, der griechische Küche in einer gemütlichen und einladenden Umgebung genießen möchte.

Sehr lecker und super nettes Personal! Auf jeden Fall kommen wir wieder!
