2 kebab plate 10/10 delicious!!!
Deb H.

Wow the food here was super good! Normally I prefer Middle Eastern food over Greek food but the Greek food here was top notch and super flavorful! I ordered the 2 kebab plate for $16.99 and paid the $2.50 up charge to get a steak kebab in addition to the chicken kebab. Both kebabs were perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The steak was medium and tender and not overcooked at all - it was perfect! I also liked how there were red peppers and onions layered with the kebab. So tasty! The chicken was also perfect. The stars of the show in addition to the kebabs were the side dishes that came with it: orzo pasta (DELICIOUS!), tzatziki sauce (oh soooo flavorful! I wiped the container clean it was so good!), and a really delicious greek salad with kalamata olives, feta cheese, onions, cucumbers, a peppercini and lettuce with a really yummy dressing. They had multiple slices of pita bread as well which was soft and super fresh. Overall, this was a super delicious meal and I think this restaurant deserves 5 stars. I will FOR SURE come back here! I also noticed many people getting takeout too. There's plenty of seating inside and they give free cups for water. The ambiance is casual but nice. I'm so glad I tried this restaurant and can't wait to return!

Rust, soda syrup build-up, and mold on the soda fountain. Disgusting!
Sal H.

I was gait with my meal and went to get a second soda, but I noticed some dirt build up on the counter and decided to take a closer look. What I found was appalling. The soda fountain looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a year. It has syrup, dirt, rust, and what looks like mold on the underside where the dispensers are. The service was pleasant and the location is convenient. This along with good food is why I'm giving it a 2 star and not a 1 star rating. As to the cleanliness, this is a failure.

$16.99 two kabob plate. Decent!
Kent V.

Great value for the food. Everything tasted good, but I've had better mediterranean food. They also have no garlic sauce! Chicken and beef could be bigger pieces.

Gyro Pita sandwich

We popped into Athens West after a football game and we're immediately greeted by a smiling teenage boy behind the register. He was genuinely happy to serve us and ensured our order was correct when placing it. The location has ample seating inside and out, and is stocked with napkins, straws, and water cups for self serve water on the counter which I loved! They have a one person bathroom in the back of the store that was clean and well stocked. When our food arrived the same boy who took our order at the register carried it to our table. Overall the service was excellent, the food delicious, and the quality great. We will absolutely be returning!! Our kids gobbled up the Gyro meat, and my husband and I enjoyed a Gyro sandwich with a generous salad and fries. So yummy!!!!

This is my vegetarian daughter's plate. The rest of us had gyro, chicken, steak and shrimp too!  Mmmmm!

I had a reason to celebrate the holidays early and needed to feed 15 people. We love Athens West and they offer catering! We had an amazing meal of skewers, gyro, orzo, pita, falafel, hummus, spicy feta and Greek salad! We live close so we picked up. When I got home, I tossed the salad and called everyone to grab a plate. Everything was self contained and oh so easy! I got rave reviews from my guests and we have been eating leftovers for two more days! Perfection! Thank you Athens West!

What does a funnel encounter about the Greek food and I'm a fast food place food is incredibly healthy. I ordered the steak pizza without onions and I ordered a side salad and then I did not regret it. I only regretted not ordering two of them. They also have a really cute order and pay kiosk Free similar to larger fast food chains. The seating is very comfortable and I found the staff to be really cool. They offer a unisex bathroom with a lock door, but I will tell you give them a little bit of time because they're incredibly popular and obviously, for a very good reason the food is fresh. It's delicious And I'm super thankful that I stopped by

Spanakopita Platter
Harrison T.

I came here for an early dinner before heading out to the beach and my meal was delicious! I ordered their Spanakopita platter which had a bigger portion than I thought. The spanakopita was flaky and crispy and there was a good amount of spinach and cheese on the inside. The included pita was warmed up and I could tell it was freshly made and not frozen. The fries were nice and crispy and the salad was a refreshing side to the rest of the platter. There is plenty of seating inside and patio seating if you prefer sitting outside. You order at the counter or at the big tablet display they have on the side. Every order is made to order so it takes about 10-15 minutes before your food is ready! Overall, I recommend coming by if you are craving some delicious. Mediterranean food, you won't be disappointed! The quality and portions are great!

Lamb gyro
Ann M.

Stopped by for a quick bite before going to the beach. The lamb gyro was very tasty. Meat was moist and not dry, flavors were great. The fries were nice and crispy. Good seasoning. Def a nice place to go for some gyro. Also love that they have outdoor seating. I can bring my pup with me.

We ordered several appetizers, (not shown) lamb chops, and a bunch of kebabs. We also ordered a couple of wraps (my least favorite). The food quality was excellent. Good portions, especially if you're gonna get a salad and some vegetables. Proteins are consistently good and I would recommend anyone coming back. Average dish is somewhere between $25-$30 each. Appetizers are around $16-$18. I didn't get a photo of all of our food, unfortunately, but nonetheless, I enjoy this place. It is always fresh and welcoming. $275 for about 7 people including tip.

A very refreshing meal!…read more We were the first customers in the door on Mother's Day, so there was no wait and food came out pretty quick. We ordered Feta Fries for an appetizer - they were perfectly seasoned and are a wonderful twist to just plain fries. For an entree I ordered a beef and lamb kabob with rice and potatoes. The kabobs are always good, but I personally am a huge fan of their potatoes - so fluffy and lemony! I finished with Tiramisu! It was the cherry on top to a perfect meal. Their mascarpone was fluffier than I'm used to (in a good way).... maybe they whipped it or something, anyways it was delicious! Our waitress, Izzy, was very attentive and super welcoming. Checked in on us frequently without suffocating us - the perfect amount of attention. Olive Pit has both indoor and outdoor seating - they do allow pets for outdoor seating I believe. It looks like they can probably fit around 50 guest (give or take), so I recommend a reservation.if possible. Ambiance was appropriate for Mediterranean style food. Love it! I'll definitely be coming back, thank you guys for the experience! I'll see yall there soon!

We were seated in a dimly lit back corner, which set the mood for a date night. Tables are close together, so it's intimate. That's great for atmosphere, but not ideal if you want privacy. Our waiter, David V., was fantastic. My girlfriend prefers Pinot Noir, and he let us taste two at the same price point before choosing. We went with the Louis Jadot, which surprised me. Many Pinots have a bite at the end, but this one had a very clean finish. We shared several dishes to get a good mix: - Sicilian mushrooms: Turned out to be stuffed mushrooms. Not what I expected, but delicious. - Sea bass: A small portion (about 4-6 oz), but tasty, with a delicious sauce. - Paella de Carne: Well seasoned with a nice crispy bottom. I usually prefer seafood paella, but we wanted some meat this time. Good, though I've had better. - Lamb chops: I enjoyed them. My girlfriend found them a bit gamey. - Duck:My girlfriend found it a little dry, and I've had better. When I mentioned her birthday, they brought out a complimentary dessert with a candle. We hadn't finished our wine, so they let us take the bottle home. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would come back to try the seafood paella. It's a great spot for a date or special occasion. Make a reservation, ask for David, and try the Louis Jadot.

I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance, so I've become a regular and stop by pretty often! What I really appreciate about this place is that the food is always fresh, authentic, and made to order. There's something special about finding a local restaurant that keeps things simple, focuses on quality, and consistently delivers a good meal. The owner is originally from Greece and is genuinely one of the nicest people. He's always friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he takes pride in sharing his culture and cuisine with the community. That personal touch is something you don't always get at larger restaurants, and it's a big part of why I continue coming back. It's a laid-back, no-frills neighborhood spot where you can grab some authentic Greek food without having to go far. I always appreciate supporting small, locally owned businesses, especially when the people behind them are so genuine. Overall, a solid 4 out of 5 stars! Fresh food, authentic Greek flavors, a great owner, and a convenient neighborhood location. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Huntington Beach or grabbing a beer next door at Riip!
