Santorini Greek Cafe

This is a small newer restaurant not too far from the University of Arizona at the end of a strip mall. But don't let that fool you. The food is amazing! I have been looking for a good Greek restaurant since my favorite one closed and my search is over. The gyro was all I hoped it would be. I will definitely return. The owner was there taking orders and serving since as he say 'he does everything '.

We really enjoyed dinner here. The food was delicious. We split a gyro and fries as we were not super hungry. Plenty of food for two. The service was OK but I think they were a bit understaffed. Overall a good experience and we have a new Go-To place for gyros in Tucson.

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.

When I came in there was 2 tables. The woman behind the counter sat me but I waited 10 minutes to get a drink order in and food. I wanted the meat stuffed grape leaves but they were out. The owner came in in a rush and didn't seem very friendly. She asked when they would have them again and he ignored her. I got the hummus and falafel. Falafel I give a 4.3/10, over cooked. Flavors weren't there kind of oily. Hummus was a 6.7/10. Kond of thick need some oil and more garlic but would eat again. The interior is small and not very refined much. Gives you "divey" feelings. I'll try it again just in hopes of the grape leaves since they are hard to find with meat.

Beyond disappointed. Tried to pass off plain sour Greek yogurt for tzatziki sauce. Mind you I paid extra for 3 containers of it after expressing how I came there specifically because I love his sauce and I am 9 months pregnant and had been starving and obsessing about it all day. To say I cried when I got home is an understatement. Threw the food away I was so upset(I know, dramatic...but until you've driven across town 9 months pregnant for a craving you wouldn't understand). Tzatziki is the staple sauce of the food they are serving. It's like getting spaghetti and meatballs and then getting home to realize they used ketchup instead of tomato sauce. Saved one of the "tzatzikis" for a comparison photo to a previous review of this restaurant.

One of the best Greek food I tasted in Tucson for sure! The hummus and my gyro were excellent. The braze lamb was a lot of food so we has to take some home

I've been here a few times and the food is quite good as is the service. The ambience isn't great. I think the prices are unreasonably high for a place like this. Yesterday was the first time we went there since it was no longer byob, and actually carried a VERY limited selection of adult beverages. One white and one red wine is not the answer. Not to mention the fact that the white which we tried, was not anything I will ever want again. Furthermore, to charge $45 for said wine is an absolute travesty. $160 (with tip) for three people is ridiculous for a simple little place like this and the only way I will go back is for takeout. Forewarned is forearmed.

I've come back to Santorini Cafe many times. I lived in Greece for a couple years and this is the food I remember. Friendly people, great food, and a pleasant place to eat. Opa!

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.

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!
