Athena Greek Taverna & Cafe in Shropshire

We had the most amazing dinner here today. Complete perfection at all times 😋😋😋😋 The best freshly prepared Greek meals, excellent personalised service, a charming Greek ambiance, and a wide selection of local or Greek wines and beers. Recommend 100% 5+++++ experience

Visiting Ludlow, three hungry travellers scratching our heads at the map, yes it's a 5 minute walk from the centre, yes in a magnificent cathedral of a building, once a school, now home to authentic Greek food Welcoming staff, delicious aromas of food. Everything prepared fresh to order, fresh is a delicious theme. We were so well fed we were fortunate to have time to meet the team. An excellent meal. Book your table and your choice of dishes at least a day in advance, those delicacies that take longer to prepare, for example Kleftico, seafood platter (if you want, the fish will be bought specifically on the day) Greek casseroles.

Athena was a very unwelcoming atmosphere; the lady who runs it was very sarcastic and hostile when approaching us. I also overheard conversation with workers and her arguing with staff, which wasn’t very pleasant. The food overall was very average, we waited a hour to receive it and the chips were bland, definitely not worth the money as it’s quite overpriced. Overall, i wouldn’t recommend this restaurant as Ludlow has much better places to dine!

Absolutely outstanding fresh cooked food and attention to detail customer service, all complimented with a Greek theme. Recommend anyone to come here 100%.

Had to wait a long time before the food came, even when we rang through the previous day with our food choices. We booked for 6.30pm and did not get our food until 7.45 pm! We were very disappointed with the food, it was very average. The woman who we presumed was the owner, presented our food eventually and said in a sarcastic voice “are you happy now ladies!” It was appalling the way she spoke to us. We will not be going there again.
