Athena Greek Restaurant announced its closure through a flyer on the doors last week.

In the farewell message, the restaurant said the restaurant and the building were bought by a developer.

The message read, in part:

“We want to thank all of our wonderful guests and employees for supporting us over the years and we are especially thankful that so many embraced our restaurant and that we were able to succeed as long as we had while (bringing) a touch of Greece to Tyler. Every meal shared, every celebration hosted, and all the memories created within our walls have meant the world to us.”

The restaurant served authentic Greek dishes such as Souvlaki, Pastitsio, Moussaka, and more.



It opened in August 2013.
