Santorini is an unassuming cafe that deserves more attention than it receives. Greek food is never a standard go to but this should be on your radar. The lamb is perfectly prepared on its own and in a gyro. The fries are as good as any I've tried. The salad and dressing is fresh and refreshing. Sit on the patio for the best experience. More

So awful I am surprised how they got a 4.8!! The food is dry, portions small, and just bland. The beignets are hardly sweet. And the fire spewing dish is gross!!....just a hunk of burnt fried cheese!! The place is no frills. It is the old balkan Cafe..just name changed. There are so many better greek places in town. More

Great location, management is great at hospitality. Good food and affordable menu: helpful and friendly staff , orders don’t take very long to be prepared. Hummus is one of the betters ones in town and don’t skip the chicken gyro or baked feta. All great options to pair with your favorite wine or beer. More

The best Greek food in Austin! They have the most authentic Greek food I've had all across Texas and you don't be disappointed in the quality of their foods. The lamb was cooked to perfection and the deserts here are stellar. Every bite I just wanted more, I will be returning to Santorini very soon. More

We had an amazing time! The food was tasty, and the service was excellent. The waitress Charity was so nice and friendly! It was our first time there. She recommended the baked fetta with pita for appetizer. We also ordered Lamb gyro and pasticcio. Everything was so delicious! Thank you!

  • Chris Misener

A wonderful, no-frills Greek cafe! The gyros were fantastic, especially the chicken gyro (I know, not authentic, but still excellent). Ended the meal with a baklava - nicely sweet and terrific, as well. When we're back in Austin, we'll be back...and, I'll try the coffee! More

  • Ray Febus

Middle of nowhere but really good greek food. The gyros are great and worth it. Salad was good and huge. Falafal was ok but not our favorite. Happy hour wine and beer so get in early. Super friendly family run. Check it out if you are craving Mediterranean food~ More

  • Magdalena Montez Hemberger

Cannot recommend Santorini cafe enough! The pita bread tasted fresh out of the oven and practically melted in my mouth! The owner recommended an excellent Greek white wine which paired so well with my Gyro. This is also a place to splurge on desserts! More

  • Faris Bissex

May have ended up here on accident since the place we were planning on eating at was closed, but it was a very very happy accident. I ordered the lamb plate and it was fantastic and filling, service was very prompt and the dessert was good. More

  • Francisco Garcia

You HAVE to try the Baked Feta cheese, it is amazing. The place looks ordinary from the outside, but the food is extraordinary. We loved the Tsatsiki, the gyro, the Greek salad. We will definitely be coming back and it's a new favorite for us.

  • Sharlissa Truett-Willis

I came to eat lunch here on a work trip from Houston. I can't speak highly enough of the customer service and quality of the food! This is by far some of the best Greek food I've ever had! I ordered the veggie plate and fell in love. I went

  • Michael Handy

Best Greek food in the Austin area. The Lamb Gyros were delicious, and probably the best gyros I've had in quite a while. The feta fries were also a tasty side. Great service as well; you order at the counter and the whole family helps make

  • L Ward

I had the lamb plate and it was some of the best Greek food I’ve ever had. The pita bread was fresh, hot and slightly crispy around the edges and chewy on the inside. The lamb was cooked to perfection. I made fajita-like roll ups and dipped

  • Gyles Sonier

Absolutely love Santorini's! They are the nicest family owned small business in Austin, always incredibly generous with large portions and often include a dessert on the house. Their Lamb is so good, always provide tons of pita, and I would

Quaint mom n pop kind of restaurant with plenty of outdoor patio seating with a cozy interior that has some charm to it. I ended up getting a reservation since I wasn’t sure how busy it was going to be, but turns out it was an order at the

  • Alexander Hunn

I got the lamb gyro and fries. The gyro meat was well seasoned and delicious. The fries were fresh and crispy. They also brought out loukoumas (greek donuts) on the house, which were superb. It’s a cozy place with very friendly staff. More

  • Maliha Chaudhry

Cute place to grab food, yummy and freshly made. I got the margherita pizza which was solid and my husband got the chicken plate. The food was fresh and we’d definitely come back. The hummus was solid. It was our first time here and they

  • Lindsey C. Blackwell

We've eaten here many times, and the food is always stellar. Leaving a review tonight because even delivered, our food was hot, fresh, and every single bite was phenomenal. I thought the lamb plate was so much food I wouldn't be able to

  • J E

Best Greek food I’ve ever had! The tzatziki and dolmades are so delicious and unique from what I’ve had before. Their plates offers a great variety of flavors. Aside from the amazing food, my favorite part was the decoration and overall

  • Sarah Roberts

We came here for lunch last Saturday. It has a very comfortable vibe. The service was good and the owner was very friendly. I ordered the lamb gyro that came with a salad. I wanted more vegetables in the wrap, so I pretty much put the

  • Sa Huynh

Stopped by here with friends yesterday! I ordered a lamb gyro meal and it was delicious! Enjoyed a soft squishy beignet that was lightly covered with honey. Staff was very nice and friendly. I enjoyed the decor as well. ☺️ More

  • Suz NoneYa

I’ve come here 5-6 times this past year and enjoyed the food. Unfortunately last 2 times I’ve eaten here the meat in my lamb gyros was really dry which is why I rated the food with just 3 stars. Small but cute dining area. More

  • Wrangler Wells

My gf was craving a gyro and I stumbled upon an article that said this place had the best gyros in Austin. It’s in north Austin and I live south so it was about a 45 min drive for me, but I would say it was well worth it.

  • Grace Gravestock

The vegetarian plate was fantastic . Just the right amount and combination. Fantastic service and friendly staff. Delightful dessert on the house- looked like doughnuts, tasted similar to sweetened sourdough.

  • Aviva Y

I come from a part of the country that has many Greek restaurants, usually in a bar with a creepy parking lot that is shared with a bunch of other businesses. The food at those restaurants is universally good.

  • Nathaniel Winkler

Best Greek food in Austin. Went here for much and had the lamb. It was amazing. Everything tasted great! Perfect portion size. The PA is perfectly crispy. Lots of outdoor seating and quick service. More

  • Jeff B (Jeff)

A small, unique restaurant with delicious food. I came here tonight for dinner and ordered the lamb steak plate. There was plenty of meat to eat. The salad and sauce went well with the pita bread.

  • James Rage (RoninJiro)

I came here by chance (other restaurant I intended was unexpectedly closed) and glad I did! The food was amazing, and the staff were awesome. I will be back for more when in the area again. More

  • Zackary Singer

The best Greek food I have had in the south in the 9 years of living here. A small local restaurant that deserves all the support and love it can get. They also serve LOUKOUMADES (Greek donuts)

  • Topaz San Felipe

Wonderful food, great music, spacious area, fantastic and kind folks. It's a great space with the porch, and just far enough away from the but still visible. Plenty of parking all around.

  • Tanvi Shah

Being a vegetarian, the veg plate was fabulous, falafel was AMAZING, hummus was perfect, pita bread was warm & delicious ,tzatziki sauce was really yummy and babaganoush had good flavor.

  • Mayes White

I've passed by this group of restaurants several times but never stopped by. I'm glad I finally did. Authentic Greek food. Nothing too fancy, but the service was great. Greek beer

Not a real Greek restaurant like you can find in Greece but not bad! I was a bit disappointed with my Greek salad I won’t lie. But I will come back to try something else! More

  • Karan Shah

Good place to chill and eat. The food is nice but the chicken was kinda dry. Falafel was good. Best things were pita and tzatziki sauce. The hummus was also really nice. More

All the 5 star reviews for this place are totally justified. The taste is remarkable, and the price is very reasonable for the quantity of food that you get.

I can’t believe there’s a place like that in Austin. Upon entering the restaurant we felt like visiting Greece again! The food is super yummy and healthy.

Cozy atmosphere. I ordered the vegetable plate and I enjoyed it. My first thought was this will not fill me up but it did. My tummy was happy.
