    Delicious chicken shwarma salad
    Mara Z.

    My cousin and I went here for a quick bite to eat. Just like those hole-in-the-wall dive bars that exceed your expectations, Athena is so much better than its gas station location would lead you to believe. It's definitely a unique experience. The food is really good, and the serving sizes are huge, especially for the price. I had the beef/lamb gyro, which was very tasty. It came with a salad and pita and hummus. My cousin got the chicken shwarma salad. That is some of the best chicken I've ever had. The food was well-seasoned and tasty. I recommend this place!

    Wind up eating in a gas station. For some reason this place made me think of Frank zappa. This restaurant is located in a gas station. Go figure. The food is excellent and authentic Greek lebanese food. Everything we had was great and we had a wide variety. Greek salad taboole stuffed grape leaves falafel tziki. Please excuse the spelling. There are clean tables inside. Everything served in Styrofoam but oooooh so good. And baklava for desert. Large portions and econmical too.

    Gyro Sandwich in mid consumption.

    The best gas station diner food and a favorite stop through Lafayette. Usually get the gyro sandwich plate but sometimes get the combo platter. Comes with Greek salad and hummus. Always fresh, always great and the price is right.

    Chicken Salad

    Best Greek food in Lafayette hands down! You'd be surprised, but this is the best gas station food I have ever eaten! It is my go to when I'm not feeling something fried. It's very fresh and the employees are sure to pile your plate with food. I always order the Chicken Salad with the dressing on the side. I feel like they drench it in too much dressing, so I like to do it myself. The portions are big enough to eat for two meals. Which I usually do that. If you're looking for good Greek food then this is the place to go!! I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I will definitely be back!

    Real solid on the basics- chicken was perfectly spiced, cooked and moist. Hummus was strong tahini flavor which was perfect.

Every dish looked incredible. I made a reservation for Friday night during Valentine's and Mardi Gras weekend. The restaurant was festive and beautifully decorated. I appreciated walking in and seeing a table with my name on it. We were greeted with water right away, but then waited about ten minutes before receiving further service. It felt like many of the other tables were regulars and we were slightly overlooked until a gentleman, likely the owner or chef, stopped by to check on us. After that, service improved significantly. The food was excellent. I ordered the grouper over spinach with a side of pasta topped with chili shrimp, and it was outstanding. The lamb chops ordered at our table were tender and perfectly cooked. The Greek meatballs and my gimlet cocktail were also very good. Once service picked up, everything was smooth. The food alone makes it worth the visit.

The platter my husband ordered was delicious! Yes, I recommend this place

    Since leaving the BR metro, we've really missed good Mediterranean food. When we were in the Hub…read moreCity today and lunchtime hit, Yelp's 4.7 rating pointed us to Zorbas, and we took a chance--and wow, did it pay off. We're used to chicken shawarma--a Middle Eastern favorite, with marinated chicken broiled on a vertical brazier and packed with bold, earthy spices. But today, we were introduced to the Greek version: chicken gyro--herby, tender, juicy, and finished with just the right crispy edges. We waited a little extra for the chicken to broil, and it was totally worth it. The housemade red chile sauce added just the right splash of tangy heat to the chicken and faded before it got too hot. The housemade pita bread was soft, warm, and fresh--the perfect scoop for the housemade hummus and tangy, housemade tzatziki. The feta salad was crisp and balanced, dressed lightly with olive oil. We wrapped it all up with flaky, just-sweet-enough baklava (which was not housemade, but still delicious). The atmosphere felt like fine Mediterranean dining--just served up with the speed and ease of your favorite neighborhood spot. Cozy, relaxed, and spotlessly clean. We also saw a steady stream of to-go orders during our visit, which tells you locals already know how good this place is. Another couple dining nearby smiled from ear-to-ear when they heard our praise--they've followed "Moose", the owner, from location to location for years. That kind of loyalty says a lot. Moose and his friendly staff made us feel right at home and clearly took genuine pleasure in hearing how much we enjoyed our visit. We're honestly a little jealous of our Lafayette friends who get to enjoy Zorbas regularly! Zorbas isn't just a great meal--it's a warm, welcoming experience. We'll be back. With friends.
