Since Athenian's opening day, Greek-American brothers John and Chef Alex Homenides have been cooking up traditional Greek dishes "Yiayia's way," using fresh, authentic ingredients delivered daily and time-tested family recipes.

 

Athenian has been the recipient of several local awards and the subject of news features by outlets like Newsday and Rob Petrone's Restaurant Hunter.

​

In 2019, the brothers announced that after 25 years at their tiny Taverna, Athenian would be expanding to a much larger, brand new space just across the street. The new space offers over 30 seats, a bar, and limited outdoor seating.

 

The new Athenian Greek Taverna opened its doors on Friday, June 21st.
