WHO WE ARE

 Our food, our culture, and why we love Athens so damn much. Here’s what makes us, us

THE ATHENIAN

Our little owl has flown since 2014; growing from a humble market stall to a small network of locations in next to no time. Four times Award-Winning. All thanks to our loyal customers and team of Athenians, led by Tim Vasilakis.

OUR FOOD

From that very first day on the market stall it’s always been about food, the Athenian way. Nothing but the best ingredients, freshly and lovingly made to order right there in front of you, for a big hit of taste and flavour. Souvlaki, gyros and plant based alternatives. We source everything from our partners in Greece and here in the UK, so we know where every single ingredient comes from. No cut corners, no compromises.

ATHENS

At the Athenian, we want you to see Athens through our eyes. The Athens we know and love: unpretentious and unapologetic. Athenians of today are all about the moment – the here and now. So, we bring the hottest food from the coolest city, to you, today.

OUR CULTURE

We step up. Whether that's helping out at home or our home-from-home. Keep an eye on our blog to learn a little more.

Environmental concerns are super important to us. All our food comes in plastic-free packaging, we turn our cooking oils into biodiesel and our kitchens are powered by renewable energy.

We're always on the lookout for like-minded Athenians to join our team. We pay well and put progress at the heart of everything we do, whether that's career development or inclusion.

OUR CHARITY WORK

We’re big believers in doing our bit for important causes, like helping NHS key workers with free meals during the pandemic, donating to Greek Animal Rescue after the wildfires, supporting the homeless, refugee women or LGBTQI+ organisations.

We’re proud to partner with a different charity regularly. Eating with us helps make a difference to the charities doing great things for the world.
