Athineon - Hayward

Business is closed. It is being replaced by Habibi's Birria. It was one of the best Greek restaurant in the East Bay. Not sure if they moved but Hayward just lost a gem.

When I was younger we had family friends that did not mess around with their Greek heritage and more importantly, their food! One of my favorite times of the year was Greek Easter because I knew tasty grub was on its way! I don't get Greek food often as much now, but when I do it's held to that immeasurable, nostalgic bar, defined in my childhood. I haven't been taken back to that place in my food memory in a long time, but WOW, Athineon, might have just helped me out! I got a Gyro with (no tomatoes) jalapenos, grilled onions, and tzatziki. The pita was warm and fluffy, the meat was spiced perfectly, and the sauce was that nice, light, refreshing taste to pair with all those other spices. Gonna have to grab some baklava next time. Don't sleep on these guys! Cravin' some Greek out in the Hayward area? Stop by!

The wife and I stopped here for lunch yesterday. My first time (not hers). She's been telling me about this place for awhile. She had the Lemon Oregano Cbicken, I had the Athineon plate. Everything tasted great, well seasoned. Glad I made it in and I'll definitely be coming back.

Super tasty and fresh food! Just got the Spartan with chicken only (spicy one) and it was excellent. Cant wait to try more stuff here, this is super close to work for me as well. The staff is extremely friendly and the place looks very clean. If you're craving a wrap or a salad or just a healthy lunch in general I would say definitely check this place out.

Good healthy food! nice service, great personality owners! I recommend 100%!
