Impressed with the friendly service & even more impressed with the quality of food. I wish we would have took photos but we were starving and you could smell the fresh herbs As a New Yorker looking for a good gyro, I will be back! read more

Great salad and plenty of fresh vegtables. The lamb was very tasty. Not overcooked. Recommend the Gyro Plate or the Gyro salad.

Larry never disappoints and neither does his food! He is always so welcoming and his employees are very nice and quick. Food is always hot and delicious. I know it might be odd but their cheeseburger is fire, the only mini complaint is the bun is massive. The fries are delicious and come with the best seasoning. The gyro sandwich is also delicious and the tzatziki sauce is very good. There are plenty of seats and parking. The baklava is also really good! I highly recommend stopping by! read more

Food is excellent quality! The service is always great and the owner is very friendly and responsive!

This is a locally owned place, and odds are that Larry the owner was waiting on you at the counter. Everytime we've come in, he's helped us. I think he must sleep there, and only go home on Sundays. This is at the far end of Poway, so unless you're headed to the rodeo or the Poway Performing Arts Center, you've probably never driven by it. Everything in the center is a small business, no chains here. Larry got me hooked on gyros. I was never a big fan, usually ordering chicken instead. But he told me he had to try his, and I did. Now that's all I order whenever I go. The gyro basket combo with a drink is about $8, a great deal. We've even bought a pound of gyro meat to take home for later. My Mom also really likes the Dolmas, and gets it to go for lunch the next day. I see lots of regulars, including Sheriffs Deputies. This is what Daphne's should taste like, but doesn't. He's not open super late, or Sundays. You pay 50¢ to use a card, or bring cash. You only get 1 refill. I can live with that. read more

I was feeling Greek food after our hike in Poway. Called this place as I wanted a gyro but a lot of places make them with only beef or chicken, while I prefer lamb. Larry's says theirs is a mix of beef and lamb. It was perfectly fine but still prefer lamb. Lots of fries came with it. My wife had the quarter chicken plate. She said she was glad she didn't get the half chicken as it was a lot of food. She enjoyed it. Parking can be a pain. The lot serves a number of places. We were there during the week, just before 1:00 pm, and we had to leave the lot and circle back to find a spot. read more

This might be the best Greek food in San Diego. Gyros were great, tzatziki super tasty, fries are deliciously seasoned, spicy feta sauce was awesome, and the falafel was one of the best I've ever had. And incredibly friendly staff read more

Let's start with very friendly staff. The person who took our order was able to substitute items for us and without a hassle or charge. The food. My fiancé had the chicken kabobs and they were tender and juicy with great flavor. Her humus was very delicious as we believe it to be house made. My combo gyro and lemon chicken was super delicious and the Tzatziki sauce was outstanding. The ambience was great. A few older men in the corner doing their mid afternoon chit chat and very polite. Clean restaurant. We'll be back. read more

This our go-to restaurant for Greek food. We go every other week or so; sometimes more often. Their sampler platters are excellent, as are their sandwiches and regular platters. Get something with shrimp in it; you won't regret it. My favorites are the pikilia platter and the veggie sampler, and the shrimp and gyro combo. This is my wife's favorite nearby restaurant. When you dine in, the service is superb. The waitresses work extra hard to make sure everyone is well attended and doesn't need to wait too long. read more

Such a good place for such a good price. From the looks of this place, it seems a little run down and not as "trendy" but I promise you, this place is worth stopping by. I ordered the gyro sandwich and the food came so fast. I loved that there was so much meat in my sandwich. I feel like a lot of places really skimp on the meat, but not this place. The prices were extremely reasonable and the service was top notch. I am definitely coming back to this place to try everything on the menu read more

This is a great little shop tucked back on Twin Peaks Rd. I think it is indisputably the best gyro in San Diego. It is a small shop with comfortable ambiance, and friendly owner always behind the counter. We really love this spot. Great for the family. read more

We came to try the food. Hubby got gyro sandwich and I had the fish and chips. My fish and chips wasn't that great and he didn't like his gyro. Overpriced and tasteless. What a waste of money. read more

A hidden gem. The food is great, it's a place the whole family can come order and eat from (picky kids) and everyone walks away full and happy. 5/5 read more

I'm pretty sure they use the five minute microwave rice it tasted just like it and had the same texture I was super disappointed. The pita bread tasted super plain and premade too. I was literally scared to eat my food because I was worried that I would get food poisoning. The only thing that tasted fresh was the salad! The owner also sat and watched me and my friends eat our meals the entire time until we walked out the door which was extremely awkward!! But the owner was very nice regardless of these circumstances so I will leave 3 stars. read more

Absolutely delicious food, fresh and flavorful. The man at the counter was so ver nice and helpful and very accommodating to us and our toddler. Everything we ate was delicious and even our toddler, who is very picky LOVED the lemon chicken and ate a lot in his own. read more

Was gonna go to a place I frequent today for lunch with a friend, but we decided to check this one out instead. It's like a cave inside, corrugated metal ceilings, dark lighting and dark painted walls...clean, but clearly cavernous. No public restroom. My beef skewer plate(two beef skewers with peppers/onions, rice pilaf, greek salad and pita) was about $11.00, they charge a .50 service fee for using credit card. Iced tea was about $2.50. Two ounce portion cup of hummus was $1.00. The beef skewers had three maybe 3/4 oz. chunks of beef. Well cooked, marinated beef. Tasty, but I wanted another chunk on each skewer for the price. The rice and salad were great and I ate it all up. The hummus was the weak part of the meal. It was grainy....really, really grainy and only had a few bites of it. Breakdown: Ambiance/Cleanliness-clean, but the lighting and overall feel made it seem dingy and unwelcoming....3 stars Service-The gentleman at the counter was busting his butt, but he was courteous, helpful and professional.....4 stars Food-previously mentioned smaller portion for the skewers and the weak hummus were a let-down.....3 stars I'd go back, but would only get it to go. read more

Not like other Santorini Island Grills - Limited menu. Staff was friendly and the food was what you would you expect from a Greek fast food place. It's no Daphne's but it works. I had the Gyro deal with Salad and drink for under 7 bucks. Note - They do not accept Credit Cards read more

What a gem! The owner is super friendly and welcoming. The inside is small, but very clean. Ordered a gyro salad and beef kabob platter-- the quality ingredients were very fresh and flavorful; good portion sizes; reasonable prices. Will definitely be coming back soon! read more

The food is outstanding and the prices are reasonable. I have eaten there many and I look forward eating there.

The best local greek spot! I've been going to Larry's since I was a kid and he had always been super kind and offers amazing food. He also seems to know all his customers that come in. It's remarkable that when I call in an order over the phone, I just say "Hey Larry!" and he knows it's me right off the bat. All in all, Larry's Santorini is an amazing restaurant with amazing food ran by an amazing person. read more

I really don't understand how this place can get more than 3 stars....honestly The food is just plain bland and cooked without any real flavor read more

I was pleasantly surprised about this place! the place is small and very simple, but the food is fresh and delicious! My favorite is the falafel sandwich! Service is fast and friendly. read more

The gyros sandwich was pretty good at *** Larry's Santorini Greek Food ***. The chicken salad was ok but not great...just a small portion of diced chicken, only a couple Kalamata olives and a light dusting of crumbled feta (and no peperoncini). The pita was placed directly on top of the salad -- so it was mushy 20 min later when we got home. The Tzatziki sauce tasted fine but its consistency was more like salad dressing...mixing with Greek yogurt improved it. I will probably try different items next time. read more

Awesome Salmon Dish !!! My wife and I eat there once a week. Where can you go for 40 bucks and have a meal like this? A cool little "local" spot with a super friendly family owner and staff. Classic hardworking and caring "small businesS". GOD BLESS AMERICA read more

Thank you for another great recommendation, Yelpers!!! My cousin and I had a nice vegetarian lunch at Santorini's, today. For both plates and fries, it cost about 20 bucks. Not bad. The salads were fresh and the veggies were crisp. The fries were hot and seasoned well. The falafel was flat which was new for me but still very yummy. We'll be back if we come to the area again cause the crew here was very welcoming. read more

This is a great place to go if you want more Greek Mediterranean vs. the middle eastern type of Mediterranean that North Park produce offers. The food was delicious and fresh..my husband got the half lemon pepper chicken. I got the fish and chips. The fish to breading ratio was outstanding and his chicken was very succulent and served with orzo pasta vs. basmati rice The meals were delightful and the service and friendly and inviting. Two thumbs up and we will be back again and again! read more

I ordered a gyro and really enjoyed it! I believe it's made with lamb and beef, and they were both cooked very well with great seasoning. The sandwich was reasonably priced and made very quickly. This place is nothing fancy, but they food is excellent. By island, think Greece not Hawaii! :) Supposedly they're working on a print-out menu. All they have is the menu with pictures above the counter. Maybe they'll put a menu up on Yelp too! read more

Was here for the first time. Melissa was my cashier. She was really nice, welcoming, helpful, had great energy. Was very helpful helping picking items with no carbs. She kept the place clean. Checked up on me. Made sure I had extra napkins. Took my plate when I was done. As I left, she cleaned the table and set utensils again. Very great worker. She needs to train whoever else gets hired. Thank you for the delicious food. Will be back again when I'm in the area. read more

Larry's Santorini - Beef kabobs with double salad - Greek Near Me - Poway, California

Ordered two plates via UberEats and was incredibly disappointed. Servings were small, all the protein was so dry. The chicken felt like I was biting into cardboard, the pita bread was flavorless. Bummed I gave them a shot instead of sticking with The Kebab Shop. read more

First time visit was a pleasure! The staff was kind and quick to prepare our order. I tried a Greek burrito and feta fries. The portion size of the burrito was larger than expected - a pleasant surprise! The feta fries were good, just some fries with feta cheese sprinkled on top. But nothing very spectacular about them. Especially when compared to the delicious burrito! The sauces on the side were flavorful and combined well with both the fries and burrito. I am very satisfied with the food, the pricing and the service. Definitely will be back. read more

Good food and friendly staff. Fries were crispy and meat had great flavor just wish the serving size was a bit more for a main entree..

Second time here and last.First time was ok and gave it another try it complete fail all around. So ordered 3 gyros No onion. All came with onion strike one. The meat was cut so thick and in chunks and little mini bites total neglect tasted ok but can't give too much love for something not made in house. The bread was terrible soggy falling apart a saltine cracker would of had a better chance holding mabey add a bit of butter throw it on the griddle for a second i guess not strike two. I asked for two baklava pices and got one refrigerated pice to share with the wife strike three and I'm out with my onion breath peace. Several places in Poway with great Mediterranean food no need to drive all the way out here for such carelessness read more

Larry and his crew make some of the best gyro and Mediterranean food I've had around here. My favorite is the Santorini Salad. It's a mix of gyro and chicken atop super fresh romaine with olives and feta. Their dressings are excellent, always buy an extra Tzatziki- because you will use every dollop. Super friendly service, quick to-go and easy parking. Support local! read more
