Taverna Athena - Brno

Not very busy during lunch time, this place is a merge of restaurant where you can sit and eat your meal, and fast-food place in which you can order at a bar, get your kebab, and walk away. Interior is really nice and decorated in typical Greek style. The daily menu seems to be a paper with some meals that are the same for every day, being sold until they are sold out. Besides that, the place has also its regular menu with both food and drinks. I wanted to have grilled challoumi cheese with salad, but it wasn't possible to modify a meal from daily menu, neither from their regular menu. I ended up with buying challoumi as a starter, and eating it up with leek soup. That soup was excellent! And challoumi wasn't also bad. The staff, which was one lady behind the bar, is not very quick and likes to talk to people so I had a feeling that I'm bothering her with my questions about daily menu, ordering, etcc, as there was always someone else to talk to. It's possible to pay with a card.

The food is worth 5 stars, but the blonde lady who works there is so unfriendly towards her customers, she's worth 0 stars. That's the only reason why this place can't get a better rating from me.

Had just chicken gyros to go. The meat seemed quite raw to me, but I got through it. Then I found some small blue thing on one piece of meat, which clearly wasn’t supposed to be there. After that, the gyros unfortunately went straight to trash. Won’t return here again

They cook in the ambient where the tables are, hence clothes get smelly and almost everything gets and stays sticky. The food was not disgusting but we received it rather cold. Plus, cliche as it is, we found hair in one of the soups. : much room for improvement

Great food! Friendly staff! Looks busy with locals for taking, but does not bother the sit-down restaurant experience. The mixing plate for 2 is perfectly dimensioned and delicious.
