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!

The chef is Greek. He somehow moved to Cardiff but he has always been in Greece. So has been the food he cooks - authentic and homemade. There are only him and a sous-chef in the kitchen. They work in such a calm order so the food comes impeccably. There is a very talented waitress of African heritage. She speaks Greek with the chef. She works in the front and in the kitchen. It is fun to watch them cooking and serving delicious food. I come here every time when I am in Cardiff. My favourite dishes are Greek Salad, Shrimp Omelette, and of course Moussaka.

First time visiting this restaurant for my sisters birthday! Very friendly waitress, love that they use the Greek language to greet you. Calm and cosy, Greek atmosphere. The food was absolutely incredible! I had the mix dip with pita bread, the tzatziki was so tasty. For the main, I had meatballs with rice, the meatballs were so succulent and the sauce was lovely and rice was so fluffy and thick. Definitely recommend and will be going again :)

We had our wedding celebration at The Athenian Tree in August 2025. The owners and staff were highly accommodating and went above and beyond ensuring our special day was the best ever. We had a small celebration with a total of 34 people. The food was great - traditional, delicious and very big portions! All our guests commented on how good the food was and how well the restaurant catered for our celebration. The owners were incredible hosts and kindly allowed us to rearrange the tables to create a better atmosphere for the guests ensuring that it felt like a celebration and not just an afternoon at a restaurant. The service was excellent! We would highly recommend The Athenian Tree for great Greek Food whether it is for a celebration, a meal out or even for a cosy...

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...
