Located in the heart of Bukit Timah is a Greek restaurant - a rarity in Singapore . Opened in 1998 and changing a few hands since, it is now managed by Mr Elgin Lim who is also the chef, after being trained under the wings of the previous Greek owners.

• The Vibe
  A display of picturesque frames of Greek scenary, traditional Greek vases and painted plates adorning the shelves, brings on an authentic Greek charm. Hues of white and yellow spruce up the simple and neat ambience akin to that of a Greek home; making it an appropriate venue for an intimate dinner with families and loved ones.

• Food
  The menu consists of a wide variety of Greek dishes to suit different palates. A common starter would be the garlic pita bread accompanied by the dips of your choice. A refreshing and yet, tasty blend will be Tzatziki ($8), made of yoghurt, garlic, and cucumbers. Modified to suit the local taste bud is the Tonnosalata ($7), a Greek style tuna salad dip mixed with spiced to camouflage the overpowering tuna taste. This will be the ideal dish for the health-conscious for some others may find it too bland. Both dips are served with a Greek olive in the centre and it would definitely appeal to those who enjoy olives or linger joyously on the sour taste of the olive. If you enjoy salads then Choriatiki salata ($15), a traditional Greek village salad consisting of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers, Greek olives, feta cheese and anchovies is a must have. The feta cheese balances out the overwhelming rawness of the onion resulting in a pleasing taste to the palates. Choose from a choice of balsamic vinegar or olive oil dressing. A famous main course for the Greek will be the lasagna-style Moussaka ($21.50), consisting of an assortment of eggplants, potatoes, minced lamb and topped with a layer of cream which evens out the sautéed minced lamb makes a great dish those with a hearty appetite. An alternative lamb dish will be the Arni Youvetsi ($21.50), cooked in tomato, onions and special herbs served with orzo pasta. The lamb is so well marinated that on first bite, the juice just oozes out. Accompanied with the orzon pasta, one can literally finish the dish alone without feeling too congested. Those preferring a set course can opt for the set dinner ($29.50 - $32.50) which comes with a starter – dip and salad, main course and ending with an ice-cream as dessert.

The SD Food Advisor's take on Athens Greek Restaurant
As a restaurant serving Greek food, Athens Greek Restaurant does not disappoint as it dishes out quality dishes at reasonable prices. As lamb is the base poultry of the Greeks, locals may find it too heavy a meal and wish to opt for a selection of other dishes instead. Not a staple dish we will choose to opt for on a daily basis, however it is a place to visit occasionally for a simple meal with families and loved ones. Those preferring a modern elegant ambience may wish to consider other options instead. Over at Athens Greek Restaurant, it is a mellowed down “old town” restaurant akin to those you find in Greece . Fuss-free authentic Greek food in a casual and “feel-at-home” environment is what the restaurant promises.
