Athens Star Taverna

Garlicky delight! Lunch special was gyro & fries with drink for $ 6.95. Fries were hand cut, gyro ample & delicious. It’s a great bargain and no crowds!

I love this place! My uncle took my family to dinner here and we all loved it. This place isn’t on the main strip in Tarpon Springs. It’s actually attached to a mechanics garage. At first I was concerned but once I tasted the food all concern was gone. The décor is not 5 star but the food is! The shredded pork that is cooked over charcoal is delicious. The french fries are from fresh potatoes, not frozen. The salad is fresh and the dressing is a simple Greek vinegarette that is tasty. They grill slices of bread with olive oil and oregano. The honey balls (called loukoumades) are the best I’ve ever had. The don’t use a simple syrup… they use real honey! If you’re in Tarpon Springs area make sure to dine here!
