ATHENIAN GARDEN – Greek
Family-run since 1977, Athenian Garden has spent nearly five decades feeding St. Petersburg homemade Greek food across two neighbourhood dining rooms. The gyros are the draw, carved generously and wrapped hot. Beyond them: Greek shish kebab, moussaka, falafel as sandwich or platter, and a mild Greek sausage platter over rice under grilled onions and peppers. Start with saganaki, hummus and pita, dolmadakia, spanakopita or avgolemono. The Greek salad for two is built for sharing. Baklava, chocolate-dipped baklava and honey-soaked galaktoboureko come from the bakery. Diners keep returning for the portions and the prices. Open daily, eleven until nine each evening.
