4.5 Stars Cute lil Greek Cafe in North austin! The food is fresh, the prices are wonderful, and the portions are generous! We ordered off the lunch menu - I had the half lamb salad ($12.99) and my friend got the lamb gyro ($9.99). We split the dolmades appetizer ($7.25) which came with pita. They even gave us free yummy beignets for dessert :) Order at counter and pick your seat.

Good family owned Greek food! Lamb plate was good! Great happy hour drink deals, happy hour is daily 5-8pm! Including weekends

Gyro sandwich
Elvira O.

Santorini Cafe is great for lunch. My husband and I each enjoyed a gyro sandwich and side salad. It was fresh, delicious, and quite filling. We also shared an order of fries. They were straight out of the fryer and sprinkled with a few herbs. So good! We sat outside on the porch since it was an unusually pleasant day for December in Texas and our food arrived shortly after. Our server was kind enough to give us a sample of their beignets. They were different from the traditional beignets you'd get in New Orleans. These little deep fried donuts were crispy on the outside and had a mochi-like chewiness on the inside. The were dusted with a bit of cinnamon and drizzled with honey. A delicious treat that I'll be sure to order the next time I visit.

I'm a huge fan of Greek food ...so I had high hopes of this place after seeing all the great reviews ...however it was just ok. My husband and I ordered a lamb and chicken gyro and unfortunately both were lacking flavor and a bit dry.

Service here is great and so is the food. I love the decor of the place and how big it is inside even though it looks smaller from the outside. It's not my first time here because its such a great place to eat Greek food. A lot of tables with just one person, meaning it's great if you want to come by yourself, you won't be the only one. I'm sure they're also returning customers which speaks highly of the quality of food and service here.

Lamb Gyro and Greek Salad

Santorini Cafe is such a great place to eat. It was my first time eating here and it did not disappoint. I had the lamb gyro with a Greek salad. It was so good and the lamb was so tender. The flavors came together perfectly. Everyone was so kind. We got a complimentary batch of beignets. The environment was calm, safe and homey. I will be going again.

We got the lamb gyros, spinach and cheese squares, and feta fries.. everything was super good and yummy! Service was quick, you order at register then they bring the food to your number table seat yourself. Small little spot!

Came in for a casual date night and it was such a cute homely spot. The interior has a bit of an old timey charm and I think the people at the counter were the owners since their family was also in the space. We had a sampler platter which has delicious dolmas, I had a gyro, and we added a lemon chicken soup which was so good and really surprised us how much we loved it. I also had a glass of sangria which was very easy to drink and only cost $4.50 during the HH and the man told me they make it in house. We also got complimentary beignets at the end of the meal, which was very sweet of them.

Greek Beignet (Lucumades)

The food was phenomenal!! The lamb was perfectly seasoned and not dry at all. The staff was incredibly kind and even brought a free desert which was also fantastic! The atmosphere is very quaint they have great outdoor seating and cozy indoor seating. I highly recommend!!

I've driven past this neat looking restaurant so many times and procrastinated on how I'm going to try it one day, well procrastinate no more because that day has come! Located on North Lamar this nice gem also has outdoor seating so you can enjoy the breeze while chowing down on some good Greek eats. I ordered the lamb plate and it was plentiful! Fresh and deliciousness all to myself. My plate came literally within seconds of me seating myself which I told the lady that was fast service! About 2 minutes later she comes back with what appeared to be some type of dessert (cinnamon balls) for free I'm guessing they knew I was a first timer. Customer service was great food was excellent and the establishment was clean. Will definitely return soon!

Santorini Café is the real deal! Having visited Santorini, Greece, this restaurant lives up to its reputation 4.7/5.0 rating with 1K+ reviews. Santorini was our original honeymoon location that got deprioritized by a free trip won to Negril, Jamaica from Modern Bride magazine (Santorini trip happened 6 years later.) My first impression was this restaurant was extracted from Santorini and plopped down on North Lamar in Austin, TX. The restaurant is a former residential home...white on the outside with blue lettering really mimicking the structures in Greece. It has a homey, lived-in feel. There is quite a lot of artwork on the walls of different sizes, colors and types. Even for a late business lunch you could hear friendly voices, and smells wafting from the kitchen. I ordered the lamb plate, and my colleague ordered the chicken plate. Though I am supposed to be cutting back on red meat, I made an exception today. The plates came with a Greek salad, dolmas, tzatziki sauce (Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt & pepper) and of course the meats. OMG the food was delicious. My lamb was well seasoned and so tender you could cut it with a fork. The Greek salad was fresh with the perfect amount of salad dressing. The dolmas were the best I have ever eaten...grape leaves and rice were cotton soft...very enjoyable to eat. The pita bread was firm yet super soft inside. Wow...what a meal!!! When you thought it could not get any better, Evette brought complimentary Greek beignets to our table. They were a little crispy on the outside, spongy soft on the inside drizzled with cinnamon and honey. Yum to the nth degree!!! The portions were generous and as a result, I took half of my meal with me. Evette, our server, was friendly and personable. She quickly satisfied our requests. When we left, she said, "look forward to seeing you again soon", which sounded genuine. We will have to come back to try a gyro sandwich and hummus. Santorini Café is warm and inviting. This would be a great place for a business meeting, meet-up with friends or a family dinner or group outing.

Lamb Gyro
Brooke D.

Came here again with some coworkers and we ordered some different items so I thought I would leave an updated review! I got the lunch special lamb gyro and it was just as good as usual but we also ordered the mozzarella sticks, dip trio, baked feta, and some extra hummus. Everything was very good and the service was excellent! I was surprised but how good the mozzarella sticks were and I loved it with their tzatziki dip! The tzatziki here is thicker and more of a dip than a sauce which is kind of fun and different. Their hummus is very good but their baba ghanoush was very different from other baba ghanoushs that I've tried. One of my coworkers ordered a pizza and said that it was very good as well. They also always bring out their complimentary dessert which I think is such a nice touch! Overall, such a lovely little spot.

Fun casual environment. Friendly and welcoming staff. The lamb gyro was excellent and came with a nice salad. Strong value for the quality of the meal.

Are dogs allowed in the outdoor seating?

Yes, last time I visited, (about 5 months ago), there was a couple there who had dogs at their side when they ate.

Are they willing to make authentic Greek salads? Meaning no leafy greens, just tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell pepper, olives, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a block of feta cheese?

I have never ordered a salad but have found them to be very accommodating. Call them!

Do you have any food w/ meat or dairy? (vegan)

Few edibles contain meat, many contain dairy.

They still have an outstanding wine list. The menu has changed but still contains most of the core items that we have always enjoyed. The disappointing part is the service has gone so far down hill it's no longer enjoyable to go there. Tonight was our final attempt. It was not busy there and we thought we would try again. Unfortunately after being seated and getting water we received no more service. After 20+ minutes we gave up and left. Such a shame to see a good place go so far downhill

Kork's outdoor seating was protected from the wind and they had powerful heaters that they were more than happy to turn on for us. Christopher was our waiter and he was by far one of the best ones we've ever had. EVER! We bonded on where we all previously lived among other things but even without that, he was fantastic; so knowledgeable and so fun. I love the tasting sizes so you can sample a few before deciding on a full glass, which I did with the Sancerre because it's just so phenomenally delicious. Paired with the Funghi and Brie pizza, it was orgasmic. Christopher sold us on the pizza and I'm so glad he did. It was absolutely scrumptious and very light! Delightfully un-American. We snacked on the heavenly popcorn too. Totally took our time, fully enjoying every bite, sip and bit of conversation. When I went inside to use the loo, I saw how cosy and adorable it was and immediately was already looking forward to going back. Bonus points on the loo rooms by the way - gender neutral! Thank you for a marvelous time, Kork. We'll be back!

Rosé Gosé was a delightful Mother's Day lunch spot. It is a whole vibe, and it is uniquely French! When we walked in an artist was playing romantic music on his keyboard, which set the tone for the brunch. It is a small restaurant inside with a larger area of seating on the patio. Of course, our reservations were inside in the comforts of air conditioning. You immediately notice a wine wall hence the name Rosé Gosé. The restaurant has many windows which provide lots of natural light. The tables house miniature yellow roses and utensils sat in a small wooden block...very French. All the servers were dressed in mauve clothing that resemble scrubs from a hospital. If someone stepped out in a French beret, I would have fallen over. Our server, Sergey, immediately served us water and took our order. The restaurant was highlighted as a modern European bistro. The atmosphere was charming, elegant, and stylish making it ideal for a Mother's Day brunch. My hubby ordered a ribeye, eggs and French Fries. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and egg whites. While I'm not a huge red meat eater, I tasted a piece of the hubs ribeye and it was nicely prepared. My avocado toast was yummy to the nth degree! Everything was perfect. The avocado was precisely cut and at the right level of softness. The salmon was chopped into tiny little squares and so enjoyable to eat. We could not be more pleased. With a name like Rosé Gosé you would expect their drinks to be superb. My hubby ordered a hibiscus tea, which was delightful. I ordered a mimosa that had high quality ingredients and was perfectly balanced...so smooth. We were also pleased with the drinks. This was the first time at Rosé Gosé, however, it definitely will not be the last.

Really love going to rosé goes!…read more I think everybody in town knows their service is not the best and that's not what they're known for but their cocktails are by far my favorite in all of Austin. Their drink number seven, which is basically a Yuzu gin sour is literally my favorite drink and all of Austin and still continues to be that way. Their food is also pretty decent, but I primarily go there for the drinks. Gotta get my wraps done before it actually closes down because I still don't know how to stay around
