Athenos Greek Lebanese Cafe - Madison

They seem to be permanently closed with no indication online that they are closed.

The absolute best Gyros in the Jackson/Ridgeland/Madison area. All of their food is always delicious and no long waits.

Wanted to eat there but at 11:15am on Saturday the door was locked, a sign on the door was illegible, actually stuck on backwards. Well, off to Kristos. Maybe we can have better luck there.

Lots of vegan options! Food was good, not the best Greek/Lebanese food I’ve had, but still good! Service was good at first as well, but as it got quite busy, I think some of the staff was purposefully ignoring us. I understand it gets crazy when it’s busy, but just a simple, “I’ll get to you in a moment/after this table,” is much kinder than flat out ignoring someone right next to you talking to you. Thankfully another employee stepped in and helped after seeing our unsuccessful efforts to get the attention of the other person.

The service was not good. The waiter was condescending. The eggplant appetizer did not have any eggplant in it. The spinach pie was greasy and the puff pastry was raw. The meal was not worth the cost. I will not be returning.
