I visited Athena tonight in a small group and the atmosphere in there was lovely, service with a smile. The food is cooked fresh and I appreciated that time is needed to get the best experience. Starters came out promptly and we had the fish platter which was amazing!!!
I would highly recommend best halloumi, sea bass and baby calamari that I have ever tasted !!
We have been here on several occasions with groups of 3 -8 and always an enjoyable evening x
Absolutely superb, authentic Greek food in the centre of Ludlow! Surpassed our expectations. Recipes from Linda’s mother and grandmother, really well cooked by Dave. Excellent service, good value, to be repeated.
This is a little jewel, tucked away just a couple of minutes walk from the centre. Thank you so much Dave, Linda and Tom for an excellent evening of fresh and delicious Greek food and it was lovely to spend a bit of time chatting. There is no microwave in this kitchen, everything is prepared fresh, and it tastes it! Wonderful, friendly and authentic atmosphere (Linda is Greek!) The price guide I've indicated includes a half litre of Mythos.
Had an absolutely fantastic meal here today. Perfection throughout 100% 😋😋😋😋😋
Real freshly prepared Greek food at it's very best, superb custom service, lovely Greek atmosphere and a choice of Greek wines and local beers. 😋
My wife and I absolutely loved our first experience at Athena and will certainly be returning! A truly authentic Greek experience in the middle of Ludlow! Who’d have thought it? In fact, the food was so good that at one point we had to check we weren’t actually in Santorini! The service was equally superb, only adding to the experience rather than detracting from it as is so often the case in many Ludlow restaurants at this moment in time. We really couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. 10/10. Thank you!
We had a lovely relaxed meal. The food was excellent and service friendly. I really enjoyed the spanakopita, which had beautiful pastry and wasn't at all greasy.
Superb meal!, The food we had was exactly like you'd expect to have in Greece. The building it's set up in is amazing and has such a nice atmosphere to it. If you're a fan of Greek food or want a nice meal out, this place is a must to go!.
I don't usually leave reviews but I enjoyed this so much that I feel it necessary to do so
The food was absolutely outstanding and it was made even better by the excellent service from the lovely staff
A true hidden gem in Ludlow 10/10
Authentic, friendly, beautifully cooked and presented. We enjoyed our evening.
What a fantastic restaurant, the chef Dave was a lovely man, it was great to see an open kitchen with Dave and his assistant working hard cooking . Emily our waitress was an absolute delight, she was attentive, and so pleasant. Nothing was any trouble to the whole staff. The food was out of this world, as if you could close your eyes and dream you were in Greece , that was how the food tasted. Having been to Cyprus on many occasions , the meze and food was just as good if not better than some of top notch restaurants there. Next time we are on our travels to Ludlow we will definitely be visiting, I can’t wait to try the prawn dishes next time, thank you to you all for making it a night to remember.
I recently visited this restaurant with my Mum and sisters and had the most fabulous meal. Delicious, authentic Greek food, including the best hummus any of us had ever tasted and wonderful freshly made pitta bread. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Just sorry that it's a 2 hour drive away from where I live!
We ate here on Saturday night and I would highly recommend going. The food is absolutely delicious. There were 5 of us and we ordered the hot and cold mezze, the portions were huge and there was plenty to go around the 5 of us. We had pre ordered 3 lamb kleftico, which was beautifully cooked and fell of the bone, plus two chicken dishes which were also delicious. The setting is in an old building with high ceilings and you look onto the open kitchen, it felt like were had our own personal chef. The staff were lovely and very attentive. I will definitely going back and will recommend to everyone.
We had the fish sharing platter. Soooo much food and perfectly cooked
Lovely to find this by chance on a hot June afternoon! The cool dining room was most welcome, the staff were very helpful and the cuisine was delicious. Vegetarian dishes were available and everything was authentically Greek. Hope to return next time I'm in Ludlow.
Food was wonderful.. Beans, Lamb Kleftiand sharing platter chicken outstanding… washed down with a Greek 🍺… and warm hospitality.. lemon potatoe divine. Very palatable. Greek sausage lovely will be back soon 👍🇬🇷🏛🏺thx to Dave and Lynda
