I have drove pas the Athenian Cafe several times while in Altoona. I decided to stop with my Fiancee and was pleasantly surprised. The service was great and only out done by the food. I have not had better Mediterranean food and will go back again. The gyros are by far their best item in my opinion.

no, it's not the best Greek food I've ever had, but to satisfy my craving for Greek food very well. the best Greek food I had is in a suburb of Tampa, Fl, and don't have the money to travel 1200 miles every time I want Greek food.

My wife and I frequently visit this family owned type Greek establishment. Very good traditional gyro and Greek salad. The baklava is very tasty with plenty of filling. Service is very friendly and prompt. We will continue to visit this place on a regular basis !
