The Athenian Tree in Cardiff

We love The Athenian tree. I love to eat out and miss real Greek food. The owners and staff are all so lovely and the food is very very good. This is one of my favourite places to eat.

Attended on Saturday, food and service is fantastic!!!

Gorgeous food! So authentic and cooked to perfection. Very well priced too

Such a little gem near the end of Canton..quaint like a sanctuary in Greece and very authentic. Food was delicious and prices good too. The lady who served us was marvelous. Can't wait to dine again in this place. Thanks

Great place for an early evening works do, one of our team is from Athens and he rated the food as pretty authentic. Nothing too fancy, just simple home cooked tasty Greek dishes...

Always have nice meal here. Good size portions friendly staff. Would recommend

Got takeaway (rang to order). 6x chicken gyros wraps with halloumi and 2 portions of spinach pies, ridiculously cheap she must’ve charged us wrong (£40 but we gave £45) - the gyros was great and the spinach pies were a must order!

First visit here, lovely welcoming restaurant. Food was delicious and very authentic. Great atmosphere, reminded us of being back in Greece.

Once again, food excellent, service top notch. Love this little gem of a place. We love it!

Great food and service at affordable prices.

find the place to enjoy Greek traditional homemade dishes that revive our memories of home and lifted our spirits! Brilliant, excellent food, good prices, lovely owners!!! Will definitely go back. Don't miss it if you are around and looking for to a real Greek gastronomic experience!

Absolutely beautiful food The lunch time wraps are £5.50, you’ll be absolutely stuffed as there’s no way you can leave anything on the plate it’s that delicious. Lovely service from waitress. Food is authentic Greek Never had a better wrap in my life and I love food.

The dips were wonderful as we shared a mix of dips as starters. My main was a rich thick tasty stew which can be had with either rice or chips. If I had realised that it came without vegetables I'd have ordered a salad as a side. Other mains were tasty too! None of us could fit in a desert so can't comment on those. Reason for 3 stars for atmosphere is we were the only diners and there was a constant stream of drivers in and out for takeaway.

Website says the place is open. But it's not.

Lovely food and great value. Highly recommend.

Eaten in and had food to go from here, delicious both times and lovely staff 😊

Ordered from Uber eats, got an order from another restaurant, they were no help and just stated to take it up with the delivery platform will not order from them again

Ordered the Athenian meat platter it was nice but you don't get a lot of food for the price you pay The side salad was so small it was pointless. I would order it again but would be for myself and not to share, but £30 for a takeaway for one is to pricey

Ordered via deliveroo. The restaurant provided the deliveroo driver with none of the items we ordered in the bag and took no responsibility for this.

Me and my parents dined here last week and we loved the food! The atmosphere is that of a family run restaurant which is lovely. We shared three starters and the Mixed grill which left us feeling super full. Everything tasted fresh and delicious.

jewel in Canton. Warm welcome and cuisine perfectly executed. The only thing that's let's it down in my opinion is that the dining area is narrow.

I could not stop saying "this was the best food I've had in such a long time" it was cheap and so delicious, I had a chicken breast with Greek salad and ong I've never tasted something better in so long, it's quite and a place that needs so much more recognition for how brilliant it is! I will definitely be bringing everyone I know to come try it all, and the staff were so kind and attentive !!

Our favourite greek food in Cardiff! Always order for delivery and it’s always awesome. Better than some of the food we’ve had in Greece itself!

Such a lovely restaurant serving authentic Greek food. Hidden gem in Canton. Really good service and fairly priced. Go to Greece and Cyprus alot and nice to see authentic food with not over inflated prices! Can't wait to go back for dinner with friends soon!

Waitress was very attentive friendly and lovely. Food was fab

The mix grill is fantastic and pretty generous :)

My new favourite takeaway.. amazing food, great portions, tastey and always delivered at perfect tempature

Absolutely beautiful food and dining experience. 9 diners all completely stunned by the warm welcome and the amazing lamb, chicken and mixed grills. Definitely in my top 5 restaurants.

Excellent, authentic and homely Greek restaurant with great food and service

Top place! Deserves 5 stars. From the outside looks small, but it's a nice sized place with plenty of tables, cosy feeling, and amazing friendly staff. The food cooked fresh and tasted lovely, with short wait times. Definitely recommend the food, I personally had the meatballs with half rice and half chips!

Nice chicken club gyros, could have added more meat but was very nice. The chip's were freshly cut and very nice! Highly recommended!

Δεν υπάρχουν λόγια!!!!! Προτείνω σε όσους Έλληνες επισκεφτούν το Cardiff να γευματισουν στο συγκεκριμένο εστιατόριο!!! Ελληνική φιλοξενία με ειλικρινές χαμόγελο. Πολύ καθαρός χώρος με ατμόσφαιρα!!! Πιάτα γευστικοτατα!!! Τιμές απόλυτα λογικές προς τα κάτω και όχι προς τα πάνω. Μην ξεχάσατε για γλυκό να δοκιμάσετε το απόλυτα σπιτικό γαλακτομπουρεκο. Περάσαμε υπέροχες ανθρώπινες και γευστικές στιγμές !!! Σας ευχαριστούμε.

I go out for food most days and all I can say is… Top notch food, really loved it here. Will be back again and again for sure. Music and environment is lovely too

The best Greek food in Cardiff hands down, they’ll make you feel like you’re eating at a taverna on Corfu. Would recommend everything - amazing kleftico, moussaka, gyros, the homemade baklava is also to die for. Lovely decor and cosy taverna-style ambience. Don’t pass on this place if you’re looking for the best, most authentic experience !!

Lovely restaurant. Amazing value for money with super tasty food. Friendly environment. 100% recommend.

We are so lucky to have this amazing facility right in the heart of Cardiff. Great cafés too

Food was delicious and prices were reasonable. Very warm though.

Absolutely fantastic food lovely staff can't be helpful enough bravo

Our 2nd visit and it didn't disapoint, great food and lovely atmosphere, can't wait for the next visit.

Amazing traditional Greek food at very reasonable price. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were really hospitable.. Will definitely be returning

Good food,friendly attentative staff, was Greece in Cardiff. Will definitely be going again.

Lovely, friendly staff and the food was superb. One of the best souvlakis I have ever had and I've had quite a few in Greece itself! The calamari was crispy outside and soft inside, just fresh and perfect. I will definitely be returning and have already recommended to several friends in Cardiff.

Booked this for a 50th birthday celebration for someone who loves all things Greek. Restaurant is quite small but adequate and there is a car park opposite which is great. Staff were lovely and friendly. The one downside is there is no children's menu (or smaller portion option). The few items on the menu my 4yr old may have eaten were unfortunately not available. Food was tasty and fresh. I'd highly recommend the Athenian Feta to start, it's so nice! The Halloumi was also lovely and a generous portion! I was expecting my main meal of gyros to be an actual wrap however it's a plate of meat and chips with pitta and dip on the side. One party member ordered the mousaka (their favourite Greek dish) as their main however they said it had a very strong aniseed taste which they was not keen. I'd recommend a visit and probably pre-book a table due to the restaurant size. We live 40mins away otherwise I'd try the takeaway option to!

Very authentic ďishes, love Greek food and defenetly this places was just fantastic, services, quality and good value for money. Must visit again.

Lovely little Greek restaurant in the canton area . The food is amazing . Had the stifado and chips and it was stunning . Apologies for no pics, but will be sure to take some on the next visit . If you like your Greek food get down to the Athenian tree. Staff are so friendly and helpful 👍

Very nice food, Friendly staff.good prices

My husband and I had such a lovely meal last night xx The cheese pie starter was beautiful, the lamb chops and the kleftico were amazing. We were so full we didn't order desert, but the owner kindly gave us some little cheese pastries in honey to finish off the meal, and they were gorgeous. Such a lovely evening, will definitely be going again.

Visited for the first time today and we're pleasantly surprised by the smart and clean interior, the warm welcome and the excellent home-cooked dishes. Will definitely go again.

Been today first time,friendly, warm and welcoming, had a lovely afternoon,by far the best I have been to.the food was great I am going again next week

Only had takeaway from here and the.food is exceptional, ate in for the first time and the restaurant is lovely...highly recommend...

The food was shocking! Looked like a pot of oregano was poured on top and I don’t like oregano. There was no mention of this on the description and the pork skewers left a bad taste in the mouth. What a waste of food and money!!

Just ordered from here got the order completely wrong won't be ordering again..

First visit ,won't be the last, excellent service,excellent food, Comfortable surroundings.

Lovely food and staff were great. This is now our new "go to" Greek restaurant in Cardiff.

best greek restaurant in cardiff!! amazing food and first class service

Food nice but beware of takeaway, if your order is sold out, rather than refunding you on the spot, will send you the order and then tell you to refund the specific item, ruined a birthday :/

Had the most delicious and authentic takeaway meal from here last night via Deliveroo. Despite the distance to Penarth Marina the food was well packed and still warm to eat. While eating my Athenina Feta and Gemista I was transported back to Greece on a dull Tuesday night at home.

Absolutely loved the food and the place

Best restaurant in Canton! 100% come and pay these guys a visit - fantastic food, brilliant service, could not fault them. Love it!

The food was amazing and the service really nice. The Greek coffee is really tasty. And if you’re hungry the Athenian meat platter is enough for 3-4 people and soooo delicious.

Very nice food, welcoming staff and nice atmosphere, highly suggested for a casual meal with friends or family

Fantastic food, good price and amazing service. Loved it :)

The food was excellent. The price was good too. Really cute place and the service was fab too. Took a takeaway menu 😋

Lovely people, service and food x

Delicious pork gyros wrap. Will return

food's good, in fact it was very nice, but don't order take away. Called the restaurant because it was delayed and they told me the food is ready but there's no driver. I call the driver and he's been there for a long time and hasnt been given the order. In the background of that call I can hear the woman I talked to at the restaurant trying to reason with him but the food clearly wasn't ready on time and according to the driver they were more interested about getting table service meals out than doing the orders in the order they came in. Shameful that because I couldn't go and sit out for a meal they would put me on low priority and delay my order and having worked in the industry before if I had done that I'd have been sacked, let alone lying to a customer about it.

Food was beautiful, service was great, will definitely be going back, great place very close to the city centre,

What an absolute gem of a place! We had the most amazing 3 course meal here last night, the atmosphere is lovely and the food wow! was out of this world, the owners and staff were so friendly and accommodating, we really fancied a traditional Greek meal and this is exactly what we had and more. Thank you guys we’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely the best Greek meal we've had outside of Greece. We were so spoiled for choice that we're going to have to go again (and again .... and again!) Not only excellent food but superb service too and very Covid-safe.

Best Greek meal I've had outside Greece. Cretan cuisine at it best. I will most definitely be back.

The food is excellent time after time. My compliments to the chef and all the staff. Well done

Sat in for dinner tonight with a friend, felt really safe and secure, staff were friendly and attentive. Food was lovely - we ordered way too much as we wanted to try everything and couldn't finish our gyros so actually have some for lunch tomorrow. Really lovely meal - I hadn't been out for dinner in a long time due to covid so this was great!

Lovely atmosphere, lovely food and the staff are really helpful will be back very soon

Best Greek food in Cardiff by a. Very long mile

Fabulous authentic food and lovely atmosphere. A new weekly spot!

The Athenian Tree was by far the best Greek food I've ever eaten. Lovely staff and a great Greek chef. I'm already planning my next visit.

The food was delicious the wine was good, and the service was friendly. Top marks for you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What a brilliant recent addition to the eateries on Cowbridge Road East! Delicious authentic Greek food. Good atmosphere and great staff. I'm returning here soon!

Staff superb food excellent atmosphere relaxing

Very nice meal large portions reasonably priced ,food could have been a little warmer though, still cash only but overall very good night.
