“ Omg where to begin! This was my first time coming here and the food, atmosphere and service was TOP TIER!! You get such a warm cozy feeling when you walk in, everyone there treated me as if I was family and the owner even came by to ask how everything was. He was so adorable! The best part was after we finished our delicious food, the lady offered us free dessert and they were DELICIOUS! Reminded me of soapapillas my abuelita used to make. 10/20 recommend! I hadn’t found a good Greek spot in a while and I’m so happy I came across this cute little spot today! ”
“ Stopped here in my way to the airport back to Phoenix. Wanted to have a cup of Greek coffee and a little bite to eat. OMG!!! Greek coffee just like in Greece, and the saganaki was the tastiest I have ever had. The people also so hospitable!!!! Truly amazing. Will be back! ”
“ normally, when I write a review, I like to build to a crescendo with how much I love a place or the service received, but there’s absolutely no time for that. This is some of the best Greek food I’ve had. Served by people who are extremely passionate. So fortunate to have driven by this place and stopped to grab a bite. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed. ”
“ Wow this place was good. I regret not taking pictures but was too busy stuffing my face. The stand out shining star was the lamb gyro. The meat was seasoned and cooked beautifully. Their pita bread is freshly made buttery and delicious, soft with a light crispness. I added feta and got extra of their house made tzatziki cuz I’m a sauce gal but it stands on its own. Also got the baked feta which came out sizzling with peppers and olive oil and more of that awesome pita bread. The hummus was subtle but also flavorful. Sangria was a good amount of sweet and juicy. If you have room for desert the beignets are soo good, fluffy and in a yummy sugar syrup with a cinnamon dusting that just makes sense in your mouth. The staff was attentive and the food came fast. Will be returning again, obviously. ”
“ Holy smokes! I randomly ordered delivery from Santorini’s to get a healthy meal and BAM! I was really wow’ed by the falafels, the lamb gyro, and (totally unexpectedly) the side salad that came with the gyro. All were fantastic. The falafels come with a creamy dip, and the combo of the lightly crunchy falafel and that dip was so delicious. I have tried falafel in several different cities and multiple places in Austin. Everyone has a different recipe, but Santorini’s is hands down the best I’ve had in Austin. Perfect. The side salad had very fresh and simple ingredients - spinach, tomato, endive, spring greens, and onion, I think. It was just so good with the light, perfectly balanced basalmic dressing. The lamb gyro - stuffed with immaculately cooked lamb, a generous dollop of unbelievablely good tzatziki, tomato, onion, in a fluffy pita. So. Good. Somebody at this place is really giving quality ingredients, great recipes, and truly lovely flavors. I’m in love, I’m in love, and I don’t care who knows it. ”
“ Super tasty little spot. Quick service and really kind workers. We loved the food and it was very familiar from when we visited Greece. The portions were huge and everything tasted fresh. The workers even gave us a little free dessert. I can tell this place is loved by the locals in the area. ”
“ The food portions were large and it tasted so good! We ordered a chicken gyro, lamb plate and baklava. The owner brought lemon soup for us to try and it was great! We will be back! ”
“ Friendliest service, food was exceptional. You can not miss out on the Lamb Gyro, baked feta, amazing tzatziki sauce, and spinach and cheese pies. Sangria was wonderful, memorable dinning experience. ”
