  • Great food! Beautifully tender octopus, delicate moussaka, nicely flavored pork souvlaki, and exceptional dolmanthes. We showed up on a live music night with no reservation. Nevertheless the friendly staff found us a table. The owner came by to make sure we were ok. So much hospitality! And did I mention the delicious food?

  • Really lovely people with excellent service. The entire staff was welcoming and friendly to my kids. The food was good, but we'd return for the people.

  • What a hidden gem in downtown San Diego. You won’t regret visiting! Food was amazing, service was wonderful, and they were very accommodating to our two kids. They do not have a kid menu but the staff offered options not on the menu for our kids. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the baby octopus and kabobs. We went for a holiday dinner with family visiting from out of town. We would love to go again!

  • I came to San Diego for my birthday and wanted to eat at a Greek restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. It tasted like my home cooked meals growing up. The waitress was so kind. Thank you for the delicious food and service!!

  • Such a wonderful hidden gem in downtown. The service was great and the lovely owner even stopped by our table to check on us. There was a large party in there and it was a little loud (which didn’t bother us) and the waiter offered to seat us somewhere quieter if needed, which I appreciated. Most definitely get the three dip combo to start. Easily the best hummus I’ve ever had and also really enjoyed the satziki and the melizanasalata. I had a Greek salad and added chicken souvlaki and my friend had a Caesar salad with salmon. We both raved about the proteins on our salads being perfectly flavored and cooked. I’m looking forward to going back and trying the many other delicious sounding dishes on the menu.

  • The service was phenomenal; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel personal. The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavor and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was another highlight; calm and on the quieter side, making it a great place to actually hold a conversation and enjoy your meal without noise or distraction. Highly recommend Athens Market for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a relaxed dining experience.

  • This is one of those special places where old friends gather, regulars are known by their first-name and everyone feels the warm and personal service owner Mary and her team dispense. We came upon this gem by the courthouse and immediately felt like part of the family. It only got better when the food arrived. Half-lemon chicken was off-the bone tender perfectly complemented by traditional Greek rice and green beans. The moussaka would make anyone's top 5 list, even your grandmothers. We can't wait to go back

  • Recommended by a coworker and WOW were they right. Quiet (probably because I was there on a Monday) family run restaurant with really friendly service and probably the best Greek food I’ve ever had. My server recommended the sample platter and it was a perfect way to try their best dishes. I came on a solo work trip to SD but I’ll be bringing my family back with me next month, I’ll insist we eat here!
