Santorini Cafe

Love this location. Nice outdoor seating. Quirky indoor seating. Nice place for a stop. Food was good. Service was fantastic. Excellent family ran business. Great location. I recommend going and checking out.

Santorini is my fav local Greek restaurant. The Lamb plate with a side of Hummus is my go to. And the baked feta is amazing. I love that they serve their little beignets, with honey and sprinkled with a bit of cinnamon, warm after you eat—-on the house! Dessert for everyone! Extra outdoor patio seating makes it a chill place to hang. The manager came by to make sure everything was good and staff was attentive — got my order correct with my little requests, checked on me, and friendly.

Visited Santorini Greek restaurant recently, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The Mouskuka and Gyro lamb were not good at all. However, the chicken wrap was a bit better, earning a 3 out of 5. The tea we ordered was strangely salty, and the coffee wasn’t good either. The Baklava was very ordinary and didn’t meet our expectations. On top of all this, the service was awful. We asked for a takeout box, and the lady told us, “It’s by the cash, you can grab one,” which was quite unprofessional. There was no offer of water at the beginning, no cutleries provided, and they didn’t come to our table to take our order; we had to go to the cash to order. The food was also extremely greasy with too much oil, and it smelled very bad. Overall, a very disappointing visit.

The food was truly excellent, with a comforting, homemade feel. I never felt it was unhealthy, and I enjoyed my perfectly cooked lamb plate without any guilt. The tzatziki, baba ghanouj, and hummus trio was outstanding, and I was pleasantly surprised that I liked their dolmas, which I generally omit. However, despite the high quality of the food, I would rate the experience 4.5/5 because it left me feeling just short of complete satisfaction.

This restaurant has a very homey feel. You order at the counter, and they'll bring your food out to you. They have a huge patio and a deck for outdoor as well as some indoor seating. My partner and I both shared the feta fries, lamb gyros with side Greek salads, and happy hour sangria. The fries were tasty and thin cut (which I like) but needed more salt. The side salad was fine but I was a bit disappointed they didn't have any Greek olives (usually my favorite part of a Greek salad!) The lamb gyros were FANTASTIC, definitely the best I've had in Austin. I'll be coming back for those for sure! The sangria was just ok in my opinion, but a very good price at happy hour. Last but not least, our server brought us some complimentary beignets, which was a nice touch. They were sweet but the texture was a little unexpected. Nice, sweet note to end the meal on!
