Athens Kouzzina

A short time ago, during my visit to Gwinnett County, I enjoyed a quick lunch at Athens Kouzzina on Pleasant Hill Rd. in Duluth.

The restaurant is set up like a cafe, with plenty of storefront window seating, and small tables covered with blue and white checked tablecloths. The atmosphere is open, bright, and very cheerful.

The menu is full of traditional Greek food as well as a few Italian pasta dishes and some American sandwiches. Entrees range in price from $10 to $20, with a few larger party items just under $30.


I had a small Greek salad, an unpretentious blend of lettuce, tomatoes, olives, cheese, peppers and onions. I followed the salad with a gyro wrap. While the salad was nothing to write home about, the gyro wrap was another story. That thing was huge.

The wrap is described as "... gyro wrapped in pita bread with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and tzatziki sauce". What I can tell you is it was both filling and tasty. The wrap was a wonderfully messy concoction that kept me satisfied until dinner.

With its diverse menu, whether you are into Greek food or not, this place is worth a try.
