Athena Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar

Absolutely outstanding Greek food. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, like being invited into a family kitchen in Greece. The food is fresh, authentic, and full of flavor — perfectly seasoned meats, crisp salads, and warm, fluffy pita that’s impossible to stop eating. The tzatziki is creamy and garlicky, the gyro is tender and juicy, and every bite tastes homemade. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the service is genuinely friendly and attentive. This is the kind of place you come back to again and again. Highly recommended.

My girlfriend and I pivoted and went here on a whim and I am so happy we did! 10/10 all around! The atmosphere is super vibey and great for a celebration or a date night. But the food? The food is phenomenal, we got the grilled octopus, eggplant hummus, Chilean sea bass and finished off with a baklava cheesecake. Also, I can’t finish off the review without mentioning our amazing server for the evening, Marco, he went above and beyond for us and made sure we knew our way around the menu. Highly recommend!!!!!

Athena/Babylon Mediterranean is just the best. We’re not even done eating here yet but we had to leave a review immediately before we leave. The service here is straight up un-American. The staff is SO good! Food is incredible. It doesn’t matter what you order… okay the order came out so promptly that I didn’t get a chance to finish writing but we’re gonna do this live. The food here is unbelievable! I had lamb chops (oh my WORD) and my wife had a chicken skewer. Mushroom hummus and Greek fries on the side. Each bite was better than the last. I am not kidding. We are coming back without a doubt.

Beautiful atmosphere — it honestly feels like you’ve been transported to a Greek island. ✨ The food was delicious, and the service was absolutely impeccable from start to finish. Shoutout to Marko and Augustine at the bar — they were so fun, welcoming, and made the whole experience extra special. We left happy, full, and already talking about coming back! 🍋🥂.

Amazing experience, we had really authentic 🇬🇷 food and drinks especially. The restaurant on the inside feels like Santorini, super white and blue, last but not last the ambience and the staff where incredibly incredibly welcoming and friendly!! super recommended if you are in Miami!

Athena was an amazing find in South Beach! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and brand new yet I saw no signs of growing pains. Marco was incredibly attentive and friendly, the wine selection was expansive and elaborate and the food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the grilled octopus and the whole seabass. This restaurant deserves to go far and I wish the owners and staff all of the best moving forward. Hope to be in here again next time I'm in Miami.

My wife and I visited Athena during our stay in South Beach and as Greek food lovers and vegetarians, we decided to have dinner here. Right from the start, the hospitality, atmosphere and vibe was welcoming. The lighting is calm, music is kept to a minimal level and it was easy to chat. We also spoke with Marko and other staff members who were fantastic! Food wise, there are plenty of options and lots of vegeterian friendly dishes. We ordered the Greek salad, Greek fries and Classic Hummus and Pita. It was all devoured within minutes. It was fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Athena to all the Greek food lovers visiting South Beach. We will definitely visit again!

Agustin was absolutely incredible! Loved the vibes, best service & espresso martini EVER. Good music, good vibes.
