First time here and I was really impressed. My husband and I ordered the Special Gyro with lamb, pork belly, and beef steak along with dolmades and baklava. He got a side of French fries and I got the Greek fries. Every part of the meal tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and it was clear from the first bite that they take pride in what they make. The baklava had the perfect mix of honey, crunch, and sweetness. It is made in house and has a fresh, rich flavor that stands out right away. The dolmades were just as good. I could eat them every day. It is rare to find a place that still makes their appetizers, sauces, desserts, and other items in house, and it really adds to the charm. The gentleman who took our order was warm and friendly, which made the visit even better. I usually go for lamb skewers when I visit Greek restaurants, but this time I wanted to try their gyro. The pita was cooked to perfection. It was soft and had that fresh dough taste that only comes from bread made in house. The meat was juicy and full of flavor. Overall, I was very happy with the entire experience from the service to the food. We ordered to go and did not have to wait long. Prices are average for Greek food in the area, and what you get is friendly service, fresh ingredients, and flavorful food. read more

Ambience was amazing. Food was made from scratch. You can taste the difference and the owner is the chef and is a very sweet man very accommodating to adjust things to dietary restrictions. read more

Stopped in for lunch to-go. Restaurant is very small. I ordered. Beef gyro. Person taking my order was kind and attentive. Offered me a glass of water while I waited. Didn't have to wait long as the food came out rather quickly. Portion was generous but a little on the pricey side for a gyro. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. I'd go back if I'm in the area to try other items on the menu. read more

The food is truly delicious but it's lacking in cleanliness of tables and chairs. It has an open kitchen so you can see your food prepared. I ordered a gyro sandwich with fries and a baklava. Potatoes are perfectly cooked and seasoned to order. The sandwich had enough lamb and veggies. Baklava was delicious read more

Great food. So fresh and yummy. We have been there 6 times and it was terrific each time. read more

This place is consistently good. The food sometimes takes a little while to come out, but it looks like the place is run by the owner and maybe one other person. I love the Village salad- fresh veggies (tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, olives, cucumber, pepperoni) with olive oil, seasonings, and feta. It comes with fresh warm pita on the side. My partner usually gets a gyro pita, and always enjoys the sandwich. We have tried the hummus and Greek fries which are good as well. My only downside to this restaurant are the lack of veggie protein options (missing falafel) and that the prices I feel are slightly high. Other than that, this place is a good option for Greek food in the area. read more

Santorini Greek Cafe - Village salad - Greek Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I felt I had to update my review from a couple years ago, which I must admit was not my best. We went to Santorini for a late lunch with friends this week. Everything was delicious! And the service was great! The owner is a nice guy and very friendly. We did just have water and soft drinks this time, but we had a lovely lunch and will return in the near future. Hopefully for lamb chops-my absolute favorite! read more

We were enthused during our first visit here. The food was above average for the type in Tucson, and the people were nice enough. But the shine dimmed appreciably when we came to the reckoning we'd just paid more than $50 with tip to share middling-sized portions of one entree and one appetizer, and with just tap water to drink. And that in a place with the ambiance of a nicer eatery on a poorer Greek island where no tourists go. So, I guess we're back on the hunt. Recommendations anyone? read more

The food is absolutely delicious. We started with the Greek Hummus appetizer which is creamy and delicious, topped with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and feta. We got an extra pita since 4 people were sharing. The space is small with about 8 tables inside and a couple outside. The service is wonderful but the team usually consists of one person at the front and one cook who helps serve and take orders. Compared to other Greek restaurants in town, we prefer Santorini the best! read more

Fantastic Greek Fries, Greek Salad, and Santorini Greek Cheese. Delicious! Highly Recommend !

I've eaten here a couple times. Both have been great. The second time I had the lamb and it was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this cafe over any other in Tucson. 5 stars from me. read more

Fresh food full of flavor! Fun, responsive servers and kitchen staff. The chicken was succulent, savory, tender and juicy. Authentic Greek food all cooked on site and served in generous portions at a reasonable price. Small, colorful, sun-filled dining room with decorations evoking the charm and rich culture of Santorini. read more

Excellent!!! The service and the food is fantastic. The chicken gyro was the absolute best. I will definitely return.

First time visiting based on family recommendation. Food was just ok. Had the gyro plate and the spanakopita as an appetizer. The spanakopita was my first time trying it, not a fan. It was fine I just didn't care for it. Gyro plate was also fine but none of it was memorable. Service was good considering one guy was covering the whole room. Ambiance was just a typical greek motif and nothing was different than what you'd expect. Nothing in this experience would drive me to come back. Hence the 3 star review. Yelp on! Git ya some! read more

I couldn't even leave the parking lot without dropping a review first. Super friendly and quick service here. I'm not a rabbit so I hardly ever touch salads, but the salad that came with the gyro plate was fantastic. Great dressing. Delicious, crisp veggies. The beef and lamb gyro plate was one of the best I've had. Loved the green beans and whatever they were tossed in. Just as everything else here, the pita was also flawless. read more

Only reason I stopped going here is because they don't really serve the type of food I prefer, so no I will not go back. However, I still recommend this place for others. It is very clean, great service, and all the take-out orders I got were perfectly organized. The prices were okay too. Just read the menu better than I did, there are things on here has no idea what I was eating just took a chance. read more

Excellent fresh food. Absolutely delicious! The grape leaves were the best I have had, our gyros and sides were a 10+! We will be back for sure! read more

We decided to duck in to Santorini Greek Cafe for dinner. The owner/chef greeted us as soon as we walked in. We choose a table in the middle of the dining room. They also have 2 booth with murals of Greece and half bench/table seating. We ordered lemonade, Greek coffee and the Greek hummus to start. The hummus comes with cucumbers and pita for dipping and is loaded the cucumbers, red onion, tomatoes and capers. It was so silky and delicious! Great balanced flavors. For entrees we ordered the chicken gyro plate with Greek fries and the lamb gyro plate with extra salad. The lamb was tender and delicious the salad had an abundance of cucumbers, kalamata olives, tomato, and onions. It was dressed with good olive oil and lemon. The perfect accompaniment for the rich lamb. My sister ordered the chicken gyro plate. She said the chicken was some of the best seasoned she'd ever had and I agree. It was flavorful but not overpowering. Those fries were glorious with feta cheese, olive oil and oregano. They are very snackable and such a great pairing with the chicken. In addition to the wonderful food, I really enjoyed the family feel of the place. It was cozy but not uncomfortably so and the owner took great care of all of the guests. Definitely adding this to the rotation! read more

We had a birthday lunch and ordered appetizer plates to share. Everything was delicious and nicely served. The stars of the show were the dolmatas and the pita seems to be made in-house. We'll definitely be back! We were all too chatty to take pics. I'll do an update when I go back. read more

Food was great and our server was friendly. Great place to grab lunch or dinner. Fast service and great food!

Very friendly, excellent food, quickly served. This is a counter order place that provides restaurant service. We had the roasted eggplant and spanakopita, both great. Will be back when I'm in town! read more

What a delicious spot in such a convenient location! My sister came across this gem while our dad was at banner hospital. She picked up a gyro bowl with lamb and beef for both of them. I came with her the next day- she loved her meal so much she ordered it again 10/10. I opted for a chicken gyro plate 10/10 and absolutely loved it! Everything is fresh and made to order. The server attended us right away and we received our meals rather quickly. Everyone checked on us periodically and you feel like you've teleported to Santorini during your meal. read more

We had gyro and gyro plate. Both were very good. Reasonably priced. Baclava was very good too

Was not planning on going here just happened to see it and Wow was I surprised . The best Greek food I have had in a while . I don't live in Tucson but me and my family will make it a point to eat here every time we visit . read more

Great Greek food, just like my mother in law used to make. Everything is homemade. Tzatziki is delicious, so is the souvlaki. Small place but very good. They catered some food for a Christmas party at my complex. Looking forward to going there again soon read more

Amazing food. Nervous to try Santorini, have been to other Greek restaurants and have been very disappointed with both the food and service. Santorini very very good and the service was very excellent, both the cook and the hostess kept checking and keep checking up my table in between customers. The ambiance was fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a great authentic Greek food!!! read more

I'm on the hunt for good fresh Greek food and this place hit the spot! Although this is smaller and more of a hole in the wall compared to Opa! I prefer this one. The food is prepared as it is ordered and always tastes fresh. The service has always been kind and prompt even when there is only one person there, doing all the jobs. I would definitely recommend the Greek hummus, the chicken gyro plate, and the stuffed dolmas. I don't have any pictures at this time because we ate them up so quickly, but I will try to get some next time! read more

The food was amazing. The location was great because we were staying nearby. I haven't had Greek food that good in a while and they have their own way of making it and their own ingredients making it extra tasty we really enjoyed it. read more

Food was fantastic, the Moussaka was on point, a string green bean side was mouthwatering and the lamb Gyro I can still taste! The Greek fries are a nice touch as well. Service was good to great and the ambiance was strip mall ok. They can turn the spot lights down to help the ambience. I guess the bright side to this is I had no trouble reading the menu will go back and recommend! read more

Very casual Greek dining. You order and pay at the counter. I enjoyed the Greek beer, and hummus was delicious. The pita bread came out nice and hot. My chicken and rice soup had a piece of cartilage in it that turned off from finishing it. My friend and I both ordered the soup and salad, and shared the hummus appetizer. I wished that I had more salad, and more than 1 olive, and a bit more dressing. Our waitress didn't know how to pronounce the chicken and rice soup, and wasn't very attentive. She never came back to check on us in the 2 hours that we sat there eating, and the place wasn't busy. Not sure that I would rush back, it was just ok. read more

I have been eating here for several months, since I first discovered it. The other day I stopped to pick up food to go. I was greeted by a woman who made my visit there another wonderful time. Because my dad had recently died and he loved lamb I got the lamb shank special. I was not disappointed. And i know my dad would have loved it. But it wasn't just the food. She made me feel like someone special as we talked about our families and so much more. I always feel like I am back in Greece when I go there as they are exactly the same welcoming, loving people I experienced in Greece and the food is some of the best Greek food I have had outside of Greece! read more

Love the owner and his sons. Took my Greek mom for her 89 th birthday celebration. They were wonderful and great food.

I was very impressed with my experience here! The food was delicious, fresh, and came in large portion sizes. Service was fast and friendly. I would recommend it to anyone looking for good Greek food in the area!! read more

Santorini Greek Cafe - Lamb and beef gyro with Greek fries - Greek Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Santorini is my new favorite restaurant for Greek food in Tucson! I've gotten takeout from there several times now, and can confirm that every order has been delicious and made with care! Over the course of various orders, I've now gotten the Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), the Fried Calamari, the Greek Salad, the Village Salad, the Spanakopita, and the Chicken Gyro. It's all been wonderful! The calamari is a definite treat: fried perfectly and still steaming hot even when I got it home. I'm also delighted that Santorini has the Village Salad, which keeps all the best parts of a Greek salad but ditches the lettuce and increases the feta cheese. I highly recommend it! It's simple, and so perfect for summer. The Chicken Gyro is also excellent. It was an ample serving of delicious grilled chicken with pita, tzatziki, and your choice of side (both the rice and the potatoes are really good!). In addition to the food being great, the staff does a very good job working with food allergies. Twice now, they've helped my partner work around a dairy allergy, and alerted him to the presence of dairy in places where he wouldn't have thought to inquire about it. We really appreciate how conscientious they are! read more

Great location super close to the UA, so a coworker suggested it for lunch. She also said we had to start with the flaming cheese appetizer. Who am I to argue? It was delicious - perfect amount of melt, served with really good pita. For my meal I had the chicken skewer, with Greek fries. It also came with a Greek salad which had good selection of veggies and generous amount of feta cheese. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and moist, and the fries are the bomb. More feta cheese! Service was great, pricing was fair, and it didn't take long to get the food, making it a great option for a lunch break. But want to go back for dinner, to try the lamb read more

I have been looking for a good Greek restaurant, we came for the first time last night to try this place out. No regrets! This place is really good! Although there's a little bit of a wait but it's well worth it! Food is amazingly good! I can't complain about the service at all. We can see that the person behind the grill/ counter is trying his very best to serve us all. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend this place. It's a must try for everyone who love Greek food. It's a small place and they have a table outside as well, place is clean. read more
