We were having a hard time finding a restaurant that wasn't fully booked until we walked by Santorini Gyro. Luckily, we were able to get seated right away. The timing worked out perfectly, and we were able to sit down and order without any wait. The food ended up being absolutely delicious. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared, easily exceeding expectations. Despite the restaurant getting busy shortly after we arrived, the service remained outstanding throughout the entire experience. Overall, it was a great find, with excellent food and attentive service, especially considering how busy they got. read more

I rarely write reviews, but this experience deserves one. Yesterday was my husband's birthday, and we chose this restaurant because we love Mediterranean food. We ordered a chicken Gyro Shawarma Sandwich Plate with hummus, tahini, and yogurt sauce. The food arrived cold and without any of the sauces we requested. We politely sent it back, but the second time it came back exactly the same. After speaking with another server, it was sent back a third time--and once again, the chicken was cold and the sauces were still missing. The worst part was the customer service. Instead of apologizing and fixing the problem, two staff members raised their voices and argued with us at our table in front of our children. That behavior was completely unacceptable and ruined my husband's birthday dinner. Everyone makes mistakes, but great restaurants take responsibility and treat their customers with respect. Unfortunately, this restaurant did neither. We will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this place. read more

Me & my hubby had lunch here and were pleasantly surprised at how good & authentic the Greek food was! It took us back to our honeymoon in Santorini literally! We shared the mixed meat platter with to chicken kabob, steak kabob, chicken and lamb gyro and falafel! Came with rice, salad, pita & hummus and the yogurt sauce, and roasted veggies! Everything was delicious and service was prompt, friendly and nice, they had the world cup soccer game on which we appreciated! Good vibes, and will definitely return next time I'm in Palm Springs! read more

We really enjoyed this as our first stop in town for lunch! We were hungry and this gyros sounded like the perfect cure. Service was very friendly and timely. I really enjoyed the lamb gyro bowl, the dressing was to die for. The baklava was SOOO good too. I wanted to try one of every flavor. It was a fun spot to sit outside and people watch too. read more

We were stopped in Palm Springs while traveling through and stumbled upon Santorini Gyro when looking for somewhere to eat lunch. They have a covered patio for outdoor dining, which was great because our dog was with us. The service was excellent. Our order was taken right away and our order came up quickly. I loved the chicken kebab plate. It was so delicious and I appreciated how much Tzatziki and Hummus was included with the order. The waiter brought out a water bowl for our dog, which was a really appreciated touch. This is a great spot! read more

Santorini Gyro - Chicken Kebab (comes with salad and pita bread) - Greek Near Me - Palm Springs, California

If you've never been to Greece.... Can you truly say that you have really lived?? Yeah, Greece just hits different Well, call me Lucky because I HAVE been to Greece and I can honestly tell you from my own personal experience... It. Was. Nothing. But. Pure. Magic. Yeah, April 2017 we did Athens and Santorini, but don't you worry, I intentionally left a small piece of my heart just so I can return again one day to get it back! So those of you have haven't been to Greece, do not even fret. Please just promise me, no better yet, promise yourself, that you will at least look into it. Until then... If you just happen to come across an authentic Greek restaurant, Greek Festival or even just Greek Street Food on the street in your own hometown... I encourage you to experience why their food, their culture and their people are the real deal. ----------------------- While visiting Palm Springs in October 2025, while going in and out of the various shops on N. Palm Canyon Drive, it was approaching lunch time and there it was... Santorini Gyro I looked at my wife. She looked at me. And without even saying a word, we knew exactly what the plan was and trust; asking the kids if they were ok with us eating there was not a part of the plan. From the outside to walking inside... We were immediately transported back to Santorini all while still be in the middle of a desert. The Blue and white decor. The Blue mood lighting. The table lamps. The menu with all of the Greek Classics. We felt like we were back in 2017, but this time, we had 3 extra travel companions... Our 3 beautiful girls. So now it was our chance to have them experience the Food that we fell in love nearly 8 years ago... Their choice.... Drum roll please....... The Chicken Tenders & Fries with Ketchup!! Haha These kids need to get out more! Lol My wife and I split the Gyro Plate (option of Chicken or Lamb) which comes with a Greek Salad, warm Pita bread, Tzatziki & Hummus. I added a bowl of Red Lentil Soup (Ezo Gelin) served with warm pita and it made both my stomach and my face smile with pure joy! Of course, this wouldn't be a true nod to being back in Greece without a Greek beer which was served alongside a frosted, ice cold, glass. The food, the service, the ambiance... Heck, if I was blindfolded, taken to Santorini Gyro and then my blindfold was removed, I would honestly think that I was back in the motherland to reclaim my heart. Thankfully, it was just an authentic Greek restaurant in the heart of Palm Springs that serves up delicious food and pays homage to the people of Greece. Until then, Mark my words... My family and I WILL return one day to Greece!!! read more

Santorini Gyro - Gyro plate with out pita and a glass of Chardonnay - Greek Near Me - Palm Springs, California

So my brother and I went to this fantastic Mediterranean restaurant (Santorini Gyro) in Palm Springs. It was an authentic Greek and Middle Eastern restaurant with dishes from Turkey, Greece, and Iran. The dishes were truly authentic with regional flavors. However, the hunt was on for the perfect lamb shank in the Palm Springs / Palm Desert area. Well, I found it! It was incredible and flavorful; one of the best I've had. Meat was truly tender, fell off the bone, and the marrow was sucked out dry. The pita bread and hummus was also very tasty and their Greek salad was such a great side dish. Worth a visit! Sorry for the pics being a dark blue, it was the lighting ambience of the restaurant. read more

Santorini Gyro - Chicken kabob plate - Greek Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Nov, 2025. My husband and I had lunch at Santorini Gyro on a recent weekday. The restaurant has two locations in Palm Springs, and on each in Cathedral City and Rancho Mirage. We ate at the downtown Palm Springs location on N Palm Canyon Dr. The restaurant offers a full Greek menu, not only gyros. We split our entrees, with my husband ordering the Gyro Sandwich Plate ($17.99), which featured lamb gyro slices rolled in pita bread with tzatziki sauce, and served with a side Greek salad. The meal was tasty, and the quantity of food was good. The tzatziki had a hint of zingy lemon. The salad had lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, a few black olives, a wedge of feta cheese. *I ordered the Pastitsio ($18.99), which is sometimes referred to as Greek lasagna because of its layered structure and comfort-food appeal. The restaurant described it as mastacciolini (a smooth tubular pasta), tomato sauce, Romano cheese, seasoned ground beef, topped with bechamel sauce, and served with pita bread wedges and a side Greek salad-lettuce mix. The pastitsio was tasty but light on the middle layer (the meat), and it didn't seem to have any tomato sauce. We both particularly liked the bechamel topping, which seemed to have a cheese incorporated into the white sauce, creating a golden, custard-like finish. The restaurant offers a tempting menu of Greek desserts but we were too full to order any, this time. We had very good service from our server, Hamit, who was friendly and attentive. We chose to eat inside (covered front patio seating was also available), and the ambiance was relaxing, with decorations in the blues of Greek water and the yellows of lemons. Uplifting Greek music played that played in the background was at a reasonable volume. The prices were a bit high compared to home, but seemed in line with typical Palm Springs prices. That said, the Greek restaurants back home are not as nicely decorated nor do they have Hamit as a server! read more

Loved this place time and time again. Never have to twist my arm too much to get me to come here for Greek food. The staff is super nice and attentive and the food is delicious. On nice days I like to sit outside and watch the people walk by. On warmer days, eating inside makes you feel like you're somewhere in Mykonos... read more

Expensive and quantity and quality of food. It is expensive for lunch and amount of food is less than it used to be. We use to love coming here for lunch, but it got pricey for the amount of food we got. read more

Good service, quick, friendly. Food came out quick. Great to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. Street parking so can be limited depending on time. Food was good, some misses but overall delicious. We did get the appetizer sample plate which was perfect, kids enjoyed trying all the flavors. Shrimp was good but we were surprised at the small portion size. Overall, decent food, would come by to try more dishes. Happy eating! read more

Well being Greek this is really not a Greek restaurant. No major staples cooked. Bass the salad and soup ! Very over priced. The salad had hardly a Greek taste terms of basi vinegar and oil. This place use to be better. And once you have baba g /falafel on the menu. It's not a Greek restaurant. Avgolemono was ok. But more the country next door to Greece. Anything on the strip is tourist trap vs locals going. Oh well. read more

The service was good but the food was lacking authentic flavor and was very bland. This is not a Greek owned and operated restaurant, so it's evident in the recipes and types of spices used. read more

By far my worst experience in Palm Springs. Abysmal service, most of our orders were wrong, super long waits, rude staff. We were a party of 6 who asked to have the bill split 3 ways. Waiter acted like it was a huge inconvenience before finally saying he can do an even 3 way split (to the annoyance of the two of us who did not order alcohol or appetizers). Comes around to each person paying and verbally asks if they would like to add a tip--failing to note that auto-gratuity had already been added to our bill. My partner paid about $120 for a $40 check. The food was... fine *shrugs* read more

I used to go to this restaurant and I really liked the Greek salad. However yesterday that salad was served with a little triangle of feta cheese on the side and no cheese inside the salad. I mentioned that to my friend and the waiter happened to be behind me and I didn't realize it. He got upset and walked away waiving his head and came back with an attitude. read more

Food is very authentic and delicious. Waiter was amazing very attentive and provided happy service. read more

Expensive for the size portions. Small place. In the shopping center near revivals. Save your money and shop for something at the thrift store. Unless you have more than enough money to buy tiny sized meals and don't care about prices. One good thing is they have disability parking right in front of the restaurant. read more

Amazing Food and Great Vibe at Santorini Opa! Wow! I am absolutely amazed by how delicious the food is at Santorini in the heart of Palm Springs. I had the red snapper, and it was cooked to perfection--so flavorful and delicious! It came with a fresh salad, and I also tried the lentil soup, which is my favorite--comforting and full of flavor. To top off the meal, I treated myself to a Turkish coffee and Baklava --both were the perfect way to end a fantastic dining experience. The atmosphere is lively and engaging, especially on Saturday nights when they have live guitar music. It's such a fun and inviting vibe. The service is outstanding--my server was incredibly attentive, friendly, and always made sure I had everything I needed. There was always someone available to help, making the experience even better. If you're visiting Palm Springs, this spot is an absolute must! I'll definitely be back. read more

Santorini Gyro - Lamb Gryo Wrap with Greek salad and amazing fries. Order the fries! - Greek Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I had hi hopes ..but.. The service was friendly and attentive. The value/cost for the meal was disappointing. With non-alcoholic drink and a baklava dessert, a simple gyro plate dinner for two came to $100. If you've been to other Greek restaurants in other cities the food was simply blah. So I had high hopes ... but .. not to be repeated. read more

The soup was too salty. The soup and salad special is a little side salad, not the full salad, it doesn't specify. When I told them I wanted a full salad and would pay the difference, he offered another side salad. No one, including the owner, asked how the food was. They didn't bring a napkin. The place is a disaster. For the first time in decades, I left no tip. read more

I appreciated the live music, but that was the only aspect I found enjoyable. The food was subpar, and the service was lacking. It was unacceptable to allow patrons to have their dog sit at a table on a chair, especially when they weren't dining there, as it created unsanitary conditions. Additionally, the service was frustratingly slow, even with a sparse crowd at the time. read more

We have been to Santorini Gyro many times, but our friends hadn't; in fact, they had never eaten Greek food! They agreed to try it, and we had a great meal.

My salad was $23 for a diced up cucumber and 3 small chunks of chicken. Could not be more mad

Nice patio, good service. Fresh food, large potions. Try the falafel - it was perfect. The gyro and salad platter was also very good.

Food taste, quality and quantity is not satisfactory. Very expensive for the iitems in menu. Service is mediocre.

Service was terrific, atmosphere was good, but to call the food mediocre...even tasteless...is to praise it. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more

Was walking around downtown and stopped here on a whim to put something on our stomachs. We were seated and served very quickly. All the employees were very friendly, patient, and helpful. The outdoor seating is nice and covered so it never got uncomfortably hot. I tried the Mediterranean salmon entree. It came with the salmon, a few pieces of pita, and salad. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The salmon was not bad but was more salty than what I'm used to in salmon dishes. My least favorite part of the meal was the pita which tasted stale to me. I don't know if I would eat here again but it's not a bad food option if you get hungry while hanging out downtown. read more

A couple weeks back we wet in Palm Springs and we're at a street fair on the main drag of Palm Springs. We didn't feel like a food truck and my girlfriend suggested Greek food. We walked into Santorini Gyro and was greeted by Fatih Batigun and seated and had an amazing dinner. The decor was calming and just what we needed on our first night of a 10 day road trip from Phoenix Arizona to Vancouver Canada. Great place, delicious food great service and well priced.
