    Beef Mousakka
    Mel S.

    Service and Staff: - The owner was our server and made sure we got what we needed Food: - Greek Salad: tasty - Cold Meze Plate: fun to share and comes with a good amount of pita (wish there was more falafel) - Chicken Kebab: the chicken was pretty dry. The rice was good - Moussaka: not the most flavorful, but good - Baklava: little bit on the hard side, but good flavor Miscellaneous: - Parking available via street parking and a parking garage across the street - Lots of baklava flavors to choose from if you want dessert - Good for small and large groups - Good for kids - Acoustics make it a little hard to hear each other if there's another table with people speaking loudly

    Spanakopita and bountiful Meze Plate
    Stel L.

    Delicious lunch today at Kalimera on B Street, downtown SR! We were very happy with the menu selection and food quality. We ordered Spanakopita (such a flakey phyllo envelope for the tender spinach, feta and dill) and the bountiful Mezze Plate. The large, bright space includes a spacious dining room, also a bar with table seating, and a soon-to-open pastry and coffee shop. The owner proudly showed me that space, very comfy and cozy-looking with a fireplace. They'll serve a variety of Turkish pastries. I made a mental note that this restaurant would be wonderful for a company or private party event. Park free at the SR Mall garage at the Macy's end and cross the street to the restaurant.

    Came here for lunch with my mom and was impressed by both the food and the space. There is tons of seating inside, and they are expanding into a new event type space on the other side as well. The interior has a beautiful mediterranean inspired design, and it's clear the owner put a lot of time and intention into it. My mom and I ordered the Mezze combo platter and the prawns to share and enjoyed both. The babaganoush was my favorite dip from the platter and had a great subtle smoky flavor. The shrimp tasted fresh and the tomato sauce that accompanied it complemented the dish really well. They also have a dessert bar with ton's of options.

    A few weeks ago my wife and I went to Kalimera for dinner. I can't believe this was our first time to one of the best Greek and Turkish restaurants I've been to. The Turkish mosaic chandeliers were absolutely breathtaking, which glowed brilliantly as the sun began to set. Our server was extremely friendly and gave great service and recommendations to what we decided to eat. We were even graced with multiple conversations with the owner, who gave us the backstory on how he came up with the combination of cuisines. The falafel was light, fluffy, and perfectly fried to highlight the freshness. The lamb skewers and manti were our entrees that we shared. Both dishes were savory and the meat was succulent. The seasoning on the lamb was perfect and was highlighted by the char from grilling. For dessert, we split an order of pistachio baklava with ice cream and two cups of Turkish coffee with a little sugar. We were blown away by the food and service, we spoke of bringing my wife's parents when they came to visit.

    Delicious birthday cake
    Tanya W.

    Our server, who I assume was the owner, was super friendly, funny, and kind. It was a special birthday for my boyfriend and everything we ordered was tasty (octopus, saganaki, and falafel) and he offered us a complimentary cake at the end which was really delicious. I look forward to checking it out another time on the weekend when he said it gets a lot busier. It's a large place decorated with beautiful Turkish lamps. I also note that it's conveniently located across from a public parking lot.

    Kataifi
    Leela H.

    My friends and I came here on a whim to try a new place. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, decorations, service and food. This place is a family owned Greek restaurant that caters to all people with warmth and enthusiasm. Best to come here with an appetite as we intended to share our dishes but each ate our own seperately, . I ordered spanakopita because I can never resist it and was not disappointed. For dessert, we all tried the kataifi as it came recommended by our waiter. Wow! I would sooo like to make this at home one day, it's quite unique. I would come back here again and again for the amazing dessert!!

    Salmon kebab
    Stella C.

    Wow, some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in the US ever! The pita bread was so tender and paired extremely well with the tasty lentil soup, the salmon kebab was cooked just right, and the salad was delicious. Highly recommend!! The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated too with spacious seating. The staff were nice. We parked across the street in the parking garage on 7th for $1/hr.

    Manti
    Geoff J.

    Six of us went here last night and we really enjoyed it. Cool rainy Monday night so other than one other couple we had the large nicely decorated space to ourselves. All the food was excellent, I had the lamb skewers and the portion size was more than adequate. Branzino was had by two others and was delicious, as was the Manti and Moussaka. The Saganaki appetizer appetizer was very good but mean for four people at most as was the very nice Cabbage Dolma. The owner served us and cooked our food with one other sous chef in the kitchen so while the appetizers came out quickly, the main courses were a bit delayed. Recommend the Red Blend Turkish Red Wine which is also available by the glass with very healthy pours. We will return and I hope this restaurant continues to succeed as it offers something no other restaurant in Sonoma County that I can think of does. Very friendly service by the gracious owner with good value albeit not inexpensive.

    Tirkish delights
    Jacob S.

    As someone who often craves fresh Mediterranean food, this place is unbelievable. Everything we got was perfect. We took the Cabbage dolma, the anchovy toasts, zucchini cakes, lamb gyros Salmon kebab ND Greek salad. Everything was delicious, fresh, and spot on in terms of the execution and flavors. For desert we had a mixed plate of Turkish delights. I highly recommend stopping by.

    Falafel
    Helen C.

    We stopped by Kalimera on the way up to Mendocino for lunch and the restaurant was fairly busy at 12:40 PM on a Sunday. The staff did inform us that food would take up to 30 minutes to come out, but we weren't in a rush anyways. Service was definitely a little slow and a couple items like the manti were unavailable, but everything we ordered was delicious and the restaurant is bright with a lovely abiance. Falafel (4.25/5): Nice crunchy crust without being overly dense. Well seasoned throughout and plated with both hummus and tahini which added a nice earthiness and creaminess. Arugula salad was generously seasoned with a fragrant olive oil. Baba Ghanoush (3.75/5): The baba ghanoush itself was actually delicious. Insanely luscious mouthfeel so it feels almost creamy. Unfortunately, their pita just wasn't my favorite. It's a bit dense and I wish it had at least been toasted before hitting the table. Lamb and Beef Gyro (4/5): The gyro was nice and tender with a bit of smoky char on certain bites. The serving size was pretty generous and all the vegetables add that fresh crunch you're craving with the savory meat.

    dip trio
    Dani B.

    great place. so much seating and the decor all around the store is gorgeous. the owners working in the store are so kind and welcoming. such bright personalities and made the experience even better the food was so good. everything was a 10/10. the dip trio was amazing. i've had many hummus, tzatziki, and baba ganoush before but this is probably the best i've had. the pita bread is also served warm and so delicious. the greek fries were so good. the potatoes were extremely crispy and the flavors of the sauce and cheese completed each other so well. the chicken kebob was cooked so well and tasted so good. the vegetables were cooked perfectly and i loved eating it in every bite. everything was so delicious and i couldn't stop eating. the dessert was so good but ran out of space to keep eating. you definitely gotta check out this family owned business! delicious!

    Plate wall
    Catherine P.

    This is a really cute restaurant with a nice bar area. I love the wood floors, blue walls and beautiful light fixtures. Is made reservations, though I was the only person there. Definitely a family run restaurant, so that's disheartening. I ordered the Baba Ganuj to start. It is meant to be shared, so it was good sized. The pita bread was soft and warm. For my entree I chose the calamari with the Mediterranean salad. A bit too much dressing on the salad, though. I did request it on the side. Otherwise, it was a good meal. I'll come back to try one of their regular entrees.

    Baklava
    Jodi T.

    Ordered to go, and it's the best food I've had even after having to drive 15 minutes home! Ordered a variety of things, and they were all excellent!!! Spanakopita - (5/5 stars) - flaky perfection, the filling to phyllo dough was a perfect bite, it is expensive since you only get 1 but it's very very very good quality Greek Salad (4.5/5) - nice and freshing, the lemon dressing was not sour which I love! Just a lil hint of lemon. Make sure to break up the cheese and mix everying well, ninus 0.5 stars for the cucumber and tomato being in huge chunks making it hard to bite Cold Meze Plate (5/5) - highly recomend!!! I like being able to try lots of things at once and this was perfect! I especially loved the dolmas and baba ghanoush, the pita goes so well with each one Baklava (5/5) - not super sticky or super sweet making it better than most! Chocolate Baklava (6/5) - I can't believe I'm saying this but I liked it a lil bit more than the regular baklava (feels crazy to say when I love baklava so much), it has a slight brownie flavor without the brownie texture, highly recommend trying it! Overall, there's nothing that tastes bad! Everything tastes so freakin' delicious!

    Very disappointing experience overall. To start, our table still wasn't ready even 15 minutes after…read moreour reservation time. I understand restaurants can get busy, and being out of a few menu items happens, but the way things were handled was frustrating. We ordered our food, received appetizers, and then nearly 20 minutes later our server casually came over to tell us they were out of the chicken entrée we had ordered. There was no apology, no empathy, and honestly no sense that she understood how inconvenient that was. By that point it was already late, and at almost 10 PM in San Francisco there weren't many other dining options open nearby, which completely ruined our night. What made it worse was that we were still charged despite the poor experience and lack of proper service recovery. I ended up not tipping because the service felt disorganized and lacking basic professionalism and empathy. To be fair, the owner did come out afterward to apologize while I was waiting for my Uber, and I appreciated that gesture. But overall, this was a terrible experience that could have been handled much better operationally and from a customer service standpoint.

Started off with the hummus, which was a very solid starter that was clearly blended and seasoned appropriately. After the first bite, I was transported back to Israel for a hot moment. I do wish they served more pita bread (which was warm and toasty upon being served-chef's kiss!). Ordered half of the menu and the most memorable items had to be the Chicken For Two (tender fall off the bone chicken with sundried tomato, chard couscous that I could not stop reaching for 3rds and 4ths) along with the Moussaka ( bechamel sauce makes any day infinitely better). OK NOW ONTO THE MOST NUTRITIOUS, IMPORTANT PART OF THE MEAL. DESSERT. Get the Kunefe and Inci Profiterole. If you like the texture of baklava and chocolate in general, you will LOVE these two dishes and can thank me later (or scoff at me). I don't care. I was pecking all the flakes of phyllo dough on the plate like the city pigeons and scraping the plate of all the chocolate ganache goodness because it was THAT good. Great service and ambiance too.

The seasonal menu's offerings were ideal for a rainy April day, when their cassoulet, bocadillo and other cozy options provided the comfort food we were craving. I loved the colorful tables and tasteful decor. It was clearly a regular lunch destination for many of the diners. The bar was packed during the rush, around noon, as well as the other indoor seats. My lunch friend mentioned that the restaurant is owned and operated by a husband and wife team: Annette and Brian. The regulars were greeted with familiarity. It wasn't the kind of place where you're rushed for your order, nor is it a dine and dash location. The menu - both food and drink - has tantalizing options, so it's best to come back repeatedly. My Turkish Coffee arrived quickly after I ordered it, despite Annette being the only server on the floor. I enjoyed the Bocadillo too, especially the pickled vegetables that accompany the sandwich. For those complaining that the portions were small or that the prices were high, the quality of ingredients and depth of flavor are worth the cost and my portion was more than enough to satisfy my appetite, plus I left with the other half of my sandwich as an offering for my hungry twenty-something at home. We ordered a rice pudding for dessert and dug in before I was able to snap a picture! It was delicious though, with the poached blueberries and almonds offering an ideal balance of texture and flavor to earn this simple dessert my esteem.

For drinks, we had the Peach Bliss and Efes Pilsner. The Peach Bliss was good. The mocktail had a wonderful flavor with its mixture of fruit juices. It was sweet, tart, and quite refreshing.
