There is ample seating on the street and tucked into between two buildings. While the people were very friendly, the food was the star today. Everything is house made and fresh! The vegetarian platter is more than enough for two people to share. It arrived on two plates! Save room for dessert. Beirut Bites serves baklava and tucked around the corner is Beirut Sweet Bites, offering many delicious looking treats. If the quality is similar, and it certainly looks it, the treats must be fantastic. If you want authentic Lebanese food this is your place!

The grocery offers most everything you'd want from a pan-Middle Eastern grocer: dry goods, teas, frozen food, fragrant waters, syrups, canned goods, et cetera. They also have a good selection of baklava and other treats by the front counter worth checking out: they get different sweets in sometimes--always baklava but sometimes also namoura cake and other things. When they have sari burma it's normally excellent, so look for that as well. They also have a good spice selection and try to include a lot of Turkish and Persian speciality items as well (this include Turkish frozen goods and yes, the pudding mixes also). The restaurant portion is a buffet and they have a hot bar and cold bar. The hot bar has traditional Egyptian foods and was very good when I tried it while the cold bar has things that could also be taken away like hummus, salads, and babaganoush. You can get the hot bar to-go as well, but having things like hummus is a big deal because you can purchase enough to have on hand for the week. I hope the restaurant continues to work out for them: buffets only make money if they have a lot of customers, so I really hope the community supports this fine establish and wonderful people who own and run it.

Santorini Greek restaurant is one of our favorites! We rarely add new places to our "regular dining…read moreexperiences" however, Santorini has quickly become one of our go-to restaurants in downtown. We often get the octopus appetizer because it is tender. It is fresh and it is perfectly balanced. Octopus is a dish that requires quite a bit of finesse and preparing and Santorini? They do it very well! Most all of their dishes are prepared in the traditional Greek way, which we adore every time we dine there it transports us to the Greek Isles. This dining gem is not to be missed when you're in DeLand.

Had drinks right away. The young waiter was awesome with suggestions for an appetizer we chose Saganaki which was delicious especially if you love cheese. Along pita bread with their yummy dip that they give you prior to your meal. Nice warm pitas. The meal came out amazingly! I got the Gyro plate. That was very fresh with herbs, not dry. I choose this because I thought it would be less messier than having the actual Gyro, but it was totally worth the mess and I'm a big eater, I even had leftovers as my family members with me both had their meals (pictured) & thought they were large portions & very tasty. They enjoyed their meals & want to meet here again. If you're in the Deland area just enjoying a stroll or shopping on Woodland Boulevard & you're looking to have lunch or early dinner I would highly recommend this place. The staff is just amazing. Every staff member worked together & I watched as the manager walked around making sure everything was going smoothly and efficiently. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and how fresh the food was. This is definitely a place I'm going to return to in the near future. Please support this amazing Greek restaurant You will not be disappointed..

Wait time for me was about 10-13 minutes on that Thursday evening. Ordered 2 Thursday Combo Specials which is a pita meal-- one chicken and one gyro, then sides were rice and babaganoush (came with 8 lil pita triangles). Also came with a sufficient-sized container of sauce in each meal-- love that it was not drenched all over the pita instead as the bread could get soggy. Portions were HUGE and it was SO delicious that I literally could not stop eating-- I ate my whole meal in one sitting. The gyro was tasty, pita bread had the perfect texture, babaganoush was very refreshing and like an eggplant salsa, and the gyro pita stayed warm (even when I ate it over 30 minutes after ordering/picking it up). I am sad to have just now discovered this, but better late than never!!! It's on the way home for me, so this place will now be my go-to for Mediterranean cravings.

We got the lamp chop platter and the lamb shank platter. Both were very yummy and came with big hunks of meat on a bed of rice with sides of tabbouleh and hummus to go with fresh warm pita bread. We also tried the mint lemonade which was incredibly refreshing but not overly sweet. We liked shopping around the grocery area while we waited for our food. There were so many fun treats and cool things to browse. Highly recommended with you enjoy halal Mediterranean food!

Nothing was greasy and everything was seasoned well. This was my first time trying lamb and honestly I couldn't even tell which is a huge plus for me (it wasn't gamey at all).

Also tried a little bit of their lentil soup with a warm pita bread, a little bit of ice cream and baklava from my family's plate since I was too full to order my own and everything was perfection. The best part is you don't get that gross feeling after eating because everything was so clean/fresh. Lastly, the owner was super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back! 2/22/26
