One of the best takeout options in Danville! Great for my family, we'll just give them a call and pick it up 15 minutes later. We usually get the saffron chicken and rice with some pita bread and sometimes the gyro meat. They have Really good portions and the food is great! Kinda a gem and I've gone there for years :) read more

Adorable family-owned, Santorini-themed restaurant at the edge of downtown Danville. I made a reservation for our family to celebrate my dad's recent work recognition :-) Main observation: HUUUUGE portions. Omg. We were pleasantly surprised at the generous servings. Leftovers for daaayyyys. The staff are so lovely and accommodating as well. COMBINATION PLATTER: Highly recommend! So much goodness in one dish. Great for groups and trying a little bit of everything. The dips are dolma are so fresh & light. CALAMARI: Standard calamari-- lightly breaded and crispy~ POMEGRANATE CHICKEN: By the time our entrees were here... I was pretty much stuffed. But the few bites I had were tasty. The chicken is a smidge dry but the pomegranate sauce and veggies were delicious. Made for a hearty lunch the next day lol Super quaint and cozy for our special occasion~~~ Would recommend if you're looking for authentic mediterranean fare. read more

One of the worst local meals we've had in the area. We tried the appetizers, plated entrees, and wraps- everything was a huge disappointment. The barg filet was so overcooked that it was challenging just to chew through it. The wrap was so dry and bland. We love Persian food and actually came here with Persian friends, so they know what real, good Persian food is! What a let down. Service was also abysmal. We came for a late lunch and were literally the only party in the entire restaurant. We had a teenage waiter who could not have cared less about our experience and we waited over 30 minutes for our food. Very confusing as there are numerous positive reviews online. read more

What a bright, lovely place! Very welcoming, as I stopped in for a lunch and they have a well-curated menu for lunch specials. I got the #1 an entire plate of food for $17.99!!!!! Oh, and their lemonade was so tasty and fresh. I had to take half home with me which is exciting for a lovely treat later tonight. I highly recommend and I look forward to going back for a nice dinner! read more

Santorini Mediterranean - Lunch special #1 - beef wrap w Greek salad and hummus! - Mediterranean Near Me - Danville, California

The free appetizer they give you is so good! The baba ganoush was a little different than what I'm used to and the spanitopika was ok, a little extra cheesy. The falafel wrap was ok, I wish they had added more falafel to be honest. It was a nice little spot to eat outside for lunch. Would recommend checking it out, they seem to have live music some days. read more

Went here for my birthday, service was really good and there's a guy who sings and plays on a Sunday! I think I ended up getting the gyro platter. It's a LOT of food so just be aware of that lol. They gave us this stuff to drip the pita bread in and it was FANTASTIC! If anyone out there is reading this, please let me know what it is! I'd love to have more of it! My family had some of the chicken kebab and it was a bit dry. Only reason this place stays at a 4/5 is because of the service and venue read more

We went to this restaurant for a birthday dinner. The menu is extensive. They did not rush us, I had enough time to decide what I wanted to try. I would go back again to try something other than what I ordered. After going back and forth between what I wanted, I went all out and had a cup of the Greek Lemon Chicken soup and the Chicken Marsala. Pat had Dolmas and grilled prawns. My soup was okay I thought it was a little bland. If I go again I will have Lentil soup. The sauce on the Chicken Marsala combined: wine, mushrooms, garlic, and lemon over fettuccini. The lemon, which wasn't mentioned on the menu, gave it the flavor of Greece. It was delicious. The chicken breast that sat on top was dry and overcooked. I pushed it aside and ate the pasta. I had plenty of leftovers. When I heated this meal the next day, I cut the chicken and mixed it in the sauce it was an improvement. I tasted the grilled prawns. If I had ordered this I would have been happier. read more

As something different we ordered to go from Santorini tonight at it was Delicious! Filet Kabob and Greek Salad. Why don't we do this more often??? read more

Updated review, for in-person dining on Friday/Saturday. Santorini has quietly risen to one of our top family dinner places, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. For those nights, they have live music with this older gentlemen with an amazing voice. He sings many of the classics from Sinatra, Elvis, etc. His rendition of "For Your Eyes Only" was superb. Definitely helps sets the mood and his voice even seems to calm down my now threenager! As for the food, Santorini has always been great at chicken and koobideh kabobs. We have recently discovered some real gems however: Moussaka - This is my son's favorite dish and I swear he can eat half of it. Like a lasagna except its layered with eggplant, tomato sauce, ground beef/lamb, and layered with cheese. Super delicious and hard to make at home. My son probably got hooked on this dish from his first day at daycare, where the family made a blended version of this dish for him. I have to admit, I'm also a huge fan. Grilled Salmon - On our last visit, we had the most amazing grilled salmon. A thick fillet and seasoned with simple salt, pepper, and squeeze of lemon. But man, it was cooked perfectly and was so juicy and flavorful. Somehow it stayed moist through the entire dinner. Flatbread - These are always free when you dine in, and is soft, chewy and great with that dip. If you order from Doordash, they'll charge you for both the bread and the dip separately. Another reason to dine in! read more

I highly recommend Santorini. My wife and I enjoyed this wonderful restaurant on weekends and their take-away during the week. All the specialties we have tried were excellent. Babaganoush, Greek Salad, Chicken Shawarma, and Gyros were all delicious. I especially enjoyed getting a side order of Gyro to go with any of the salads-- just fantastic. The flatbread and dressings are already wonderful. When the main dishes come, they just make the meals so wonderful. On Fridays and Saturdays l, our dinners were accompanied by Steven Douglas Mullins, who has a strong but mellow baritone voice to sing all the great songs from the standards. read more

A hidden local gem. This restaurant has been our go to for family dinners many years now. Food always fresh and delicious. Best pita and dip to start off your meal every single time. Service is always solid. Nice ambience, clean and bright. The restaurant has been pretty quiet almost nights since Covid. We really hope this place survives because it's an excellent local authentic Mediterranean restaurant to have in Danville. read more

First time to come to this place with my friends for lunch. Very appreciative about having a free appetizer in this day and age a testimony that this restaurant still wants to please their customers and not just pump money from us. The food was good and priced right. I had their lunch special and we shared the dessert and paid $27 each, including tax and tip. I think it's well worth it. The service was pleasant too, even if there was just one server. The ambience was beautiful, giving you that Santorini feeling for sure with all the paintings and decorations. Looks like every Friday they have live music. I'd be interested to check that out with my husband next time. read more

Extremely inconsistent restaurant. I've had great koubidehs from them, and I've had absolutely terrible koubidehs. Simply put, the kitchen has good and bad days. Unfortunately for them, today was a show of their worst. I ordered a koubideh, and instead received a burnt briquette that would rival a school ground bouncy ball in terms of which is a chewier and bouncier. The rice, of all things they skimp on -- in favor of undercooked and unseasoned vegetables. I'm used to the nice and tender and juicy and butter meat, but with these off days, I cannot and will not continue to support this business. read more

Our search for good moussaka led us to Santorini Mediterranean. Unfortunately, it was the worst version I've ever tasted. There was no bechamel sauce, very little eggplant and totally lacking the spices associated with this classic Greek dish. It was just layers of potato slices and ground meat that might have been beef as it had no lamb flavor whatsoever. Will not return. read more

This review is purely for the Iranian New Year event this restaurant catered for in Orinda back in March. First off, I think the organizers underestimated the number of people coming out. But this place charged me $20 for 1 skewer of koobideh and even forgot the rice- I had to go back and ask for it. I should say, there was a massive bottleneck at this event and it took 2.5 hours for me to get my kabob. I was overall, really hungry and very disappointed. But the kids that worked this event were great and I'm giving the 3 stars because they had to deal with a lot of angry customers. read more

Ahmad F said it best, "Amazing eatery with a wonderful menu that's a fusion of Greek and Persian cuisines. Freshly prepared, nicely served. Reasonable prices." But I'll add, Italian to the mix. They serve pizzas and pastas, too. We were blessed to have one the nicest of nice waiters, Sayed, take care of us. Us, being the gf, pooch, and I. Love this guy. So fricken pleasant! The gf ordered a Persian dish, Chicken kabab with rice (and veggies), and I ordered a Greek dish, Moussaka (served with mashed potato and veggies). The Moussaka [$21.95, 4.0 stars] was delicious, prepared lovely, with very homemade flavors. However, it was basically mush and hardly stood up, and it was very oily. I've had better (scalloped potato would give it shape, like lasagna, gives it texture, and have a bechamel sauce), and odd that it was served with mashed potato and veggies...normally no. Still, it was good enough to order again. Bottomline, we loved the food and the service. Prices were fair, and oh yes, we'll be back. This, my friends, will be added to the regular rotation. read more

Santorini Mediterranean - Moussaka [$21.95, 4.0 stars] - Mediterranean Near Me - Danville, California

I have been eating at Santorini for years with no issues, however lately it has been going down hill in terms of cleanliness. The floors are dirty and my shoes were sticking to the bottom of the tile flooring . The bathrooms need a deep cleaning as the floor, sink, toilet and walls are dirty. Also the doors that separate the walkway to the bathrooms are covered in stains. Lastly, tables and chairs need a deep cleaning. They have to do better with cleaning especially since the cost of a kebab plate (rice and salad ) is 22.00, expensive. read more

The new cook should be flipping burgers at Mcdonald's. I first ordered the shrimp appetizer. It was basically a brothy soup with flavorless, shrimp and uncooked spinach with lots of feta. I returned it and got the koubiddeh luncheon plate which was worse. The new cook did not know how to cook koubiddah correctly. The meat was undercooked and not charred. The rice was flavorless old and skimpy. The hummus was the worst i've ever tasted. The greek salad used to be fresh and flavorful. Today, the greek salad tasted old and the dressing was bland and boring. read more

Well that's it. Last time I will go to this restaurant. I use to go at least once a month for my favorite pomegranate chicken and my husband loved the lamb. About three months ago my husband and I had a very disappointing meal. The lamb reeked of old meat. But I still craved the pomegranate chicken that was soooooo good years ago. So last night I gave it one more try. OMG so bad. Chicken so dry, it was like sawdust. And no pomegranate sauce at all. Veggies were awful too. Old broccoli and pre-prepared carrot sticks. Never again. read more

While I know from a prior visit this place has quality food, I was hugely disappointed in my visit a few days ago. Upon entering the establishment, I noted that two men were fighting outside and that, if Santorini didn't mind, calling the police. Two women -- one the server -- looked at me as if I said an alien spaceship just landed on McCaulou's Department Store. It was awkward, to say the least, given they didn't acknowledge my comment (fortunately, other nearby businesses called the police). I then was sat at my table, with two glasses of water (I am 100% comfortable eating alone, so the assumption here was wide off the mark). In any case, I spent 10 minutes waiting for a follow up to take my order in a near-empty restaurant; none came. So I did the right thing ... I left, hoping this restaurant can internalize how to provide better customer service. read more

Very disappointed with the food and service. We went here to celebrate and couldn't have been let down more. Our appetizer came out cold, and then received our main entrees which came heavily salted and overcooked. Our waitress had an attitude throughout the meal, had us eat with used forks after requesting fresh ones, and had an outburst yelling at us when we mentioned our dinner was not edible. read more

Still delicious! Been here multiple times and never disappoints. Friendly service, great portions, and lots of delicious pita bread with a savory tapenade. Ordering wise, is very convenient. You can order online or do a phone order. The hours for this restaurant are from 12pm - 8 pm Mon-Sun. Food: 1. Greek salad {4/5 stars, $9.95} - Tasty salad with onions, olives, and feta cheese. Perfectly dressed with a tangy salad dressing. Only wish was more feta cheese. 2. Ravioli Santorini {4.5/5 stars, $15.95} - Three cheese ravioli with mushrooms and peppers in a sweet tomato basil sauce. 3. Moussaka {4/5 stars, $16.95} - Eggplant layered with ground lamb and mashed potatoes. Potatoes were delicious. Moussaka was little bland with egg plant being overcooked resulting in a stringy texture. Overall: A great place to enjoy Mediterranean style dishes with nice portions, friendly service, and yummy food! read more

Good food, beautiful ambiance and great service. Went here randomly for my birthday dinner, checking at yelp for a place to eat and stumbled upon this. We love greek food and I would recommend this place because first you will feel like you're in Santorini (I can say this because we've been there for our honeymoon) due to the interior of the restaurant with the Santorini picture as their wall, the blue and white tables and chairs and the vibes feels like you are in Santorini. The lady who served us was very attentive, approachable and friendly. She always checks on us from time to time. The food was good, I ordered Moussaka since I'm craving for it and it's the first Greek restaurant in the bay area that I found having it on the menu while my husband ordered the chicken pesto fettuccine and it was good too. Don't forget to put the sauce on the side for the Moussaka because it's dry without it. Our favorite is their pita bread with their complimentary dip and we ordered the tzatziki dip. The server gave us baklava for my birthday. I'm not a fan of baklava since every baklava I tried were too sweet but theirs is not. Overall, I will come back here if I crave legit Greek food and will try their other dishes. read more

Service and ambiance were fine but the chicken and filet mignon kebabs were so tough, I asked for a better knife. The waiter kindly gave me a serrated knife to replace the butter knife, and I was still unable to cut the meat. That left me with the unflavored rice for dinner. My husband, who is vegetarian had their angel hair pasta and he loved his dish. read more

From the time I had this place booked parked as wanted to visit, got slightly disappointed in not meeting there island, relaxed and welcoming Santorini vibe. From the moment stepped in, got greeted worth "What can I help you with?". Well, that's one way to greet the customers. After I helped myself with table selection, proceeded with ordering a late lunch: Greek salad and spanakopita. To my great disappointment the cucumber crops turned out very soggy this year and unfortunately ran short on baking so had to warm and serve. On the serious note, cucumbers were spoiled in the salad and had to be replaced, spanakopita was soggy and all crooked. Really appreciated conversation with the owner after the "meal" and hopefully will give it another try. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening to escape the busy life before the week starts again and we left happy, full, and relaxed. We ordered flavorful Persian hot tea (which came in the cutest drink ware) that went well with each dish ordered. 1. Babaganoush - so creamy and tasty mixed with the grilled onions paired with house made flat bread and yummy side salad 2. Grilled vegetables - delicious and surprisingly our favorite dish (need to figure out what sauce was used) 3. Chicken kebab greek salad - healthy lean chicken breast grilled to perfection with the much needed perfectly crisp and fresh greens Service was amazing.. best we've experienced in years.. Thank you for creating a perfect ending to our week! read more

The food was impeccable and delicious! We ordered the Beef kabobs and it was very juicy and tender. It is very hard to find a good Persian food around the area and this place hit the spot.
