Cute, small, local restaurant! Very delicious food, tasty beer, amazing service. I noticed there wasn’t many images of the menu, which I always like to look at before I go somewhere!

I ordered the deluxe grilled chicken salad and the plaka plate. I picked it up within 15 minutes. It seemed like the chicken had been previously prepared, not hot and fresh. Salad dressing tasted like the bottle had been left open and absorbed the other odors of the foods that it shared space with. The prices were twice as high as what was on their online menu, they did not provide me with a detailed receipt. And then most annoyingly, because I was making an order of over $50, they suggested I give a tip of 18%. I had to pay over the phone so I had to tip before even getting the food. It was super annoying, expensive, and the food wasn’t good.

Mind blowing taste. Loved every dish that came to our table. Spicy feta dip was fabulous. Wraps, rice bowls are filling so order accordingly. Their taziki sauce is so good that we took home some to eat later.

We are pretty darn spoiled when it comes to food. We mostly eat grass fed meats. Lots of Whole Foods for us. But I’ve been wanting to check out this place for a while. I had taken my mother In Law to the big antique Mall in Concord and decided to pop in for a carry out. It took some time but it was worth the wait. We come from Detroit where you’ve got a lot of options for Greek food including the famous Greektown in downtown Detroit. Since moving to Davidson North Carolina I’ve been searching for some good Greek food and I think I finally found it. This appears to be a family owned business.

This is a really nice place that has good Greek food, please note that we gave 4 stars instead of 5 there is a special explanation, the COVID-19 caused a reduction of help available for the restaurant so the menu had to be cut down to exclude some of the key items in the Greek food but what they do have on the menu is excellent and delicious! The service at the restaurant was very good we were very well waited on by experience personnel.

One of the best Greek restaurants I have ever been to. Everything from the salad to the homemade hummus and falafel was absolutely delicious and bursts of freshly made food erupt in your mouth. I had the Moussaka for my entre and it was the best I have ever tasted. I can’t say enough good things about Gateway to Athens. Service was extremely friendly.

Coworker and I stopped in for a falafel wrap and rice. Super fresh tasty food, wonderful waitress and a bunch of cool staff made artwork around the dining area. Definitely stopping here whenever I’m on the area.

Good food and a quick turn around with the food. The beer battered fries are a must and the gyro meat was delicious.

Pamatha Carter

Food is great. The best Greek around however Brandi has the absolute WORST customer service I have ever encountered. She is not a nice person, very rude and short with customers. Uses “being busy” as an excuse.
