Food was so fresh and delicious. This is a great hidden gem in this neighborhood. The service was excellent and they went out of their way to make everything perfect. We came to dinner at a little quieter time-food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. read more

Santorini Restaurant - Chicken kebab plate, lamb kebab plate - Greek Near Me - London, XGL

Very delicious food Somehow this restaurant doesn't have many people and I admit the food is a lit bit over priced. But it is a very interesting place and I love the food a lot read more

We usually go to another Greek restaurant in the area but it was full. Since we set out to get Greek food, we found Sanorini's nearby and are very happy to have discovered another excellent restaurant. The group I was with ordered a wide variety of food to share and all of it was tasty. I got the seafood souvlaki which has a good sampling of different flavors. The meal that looked to be the standout was the seafood pasta. I would definitely come back again. read more

Had lunch at Santorini yesterday...and overall our experience was terrible. Service is unfriendly, unhelpful, and unbelievably slow. Our first appetizer came out after 10 minutes but we waited for the second appetizer for another 20 minutes. There were no apologies or explanations for the delay. Our lunch entrees finally arrived 50 minutes after being seated. Getting our water glasses refilled was a challenge to say the least. The only thing that arrived quickly was the bill. Food was underwhelming. Chicken and rice soup was on tasteless, pita bread was dry and cold, olives weren't very fresh, chicken souvlaki was just okay (per the husband and daughter), and my seabass in parchment was unattractive and tasteless. I've had better seabass at half the price. The only positive? The restaurant is really pretty and clean. Santorini really deserves just one star but I'm generously giving it two. In any case, we won't ever return. read more

Loved the pre mixed drinks - the lemony ouzo and the lemon ginger ouzo. Food flavours and not too sweet. We had good luck with most of the starters - the fried mushrooms, pastrami cigars, fried calamari and the pork belly. The meatballs weren't as tasty in comparison and the mussels were frozen, so not much flavour there. Based on previous reviews we tried the grilled pork shoulder, but that wasn't very flavourful & the meat was tough. The moussaka had much much better flavours. With food being a bit hit & miss, this isn't a place I'd actually return to for dinner, but I wouldn't mind heading here for drinks & snacks. read more

This restaurant has a great vibe for a family, a nice date, or even a solo dinner. The decor made you feel like you were in Greece and the food was very authentic and flavorful. The waiters,specifically Georgie, were amazing and knew the menu VERY well. He had great recommendations on wine, appetizers, and entrees. The dessert was even a perfect 100. Definitely recommend! Suggestions: The lamb Soulva, the fried calamari, and for dessert, something with pistachios that Georgie gave on the house. AMAZING MEAL! I would definitely suggest exactly what I had, with a bottle of red wine. read more

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! I don't even know where to start! We were greeted and the door with warm smiles. The ambiance in the restaurant is great, such a family feeling. And they treat you like like family. The menu has some many great options and the waiting staff know it front to back. The meals that Georgi recommended were EXCEPTIONAL! everything from the wine, appetizers, and main course were perfect. I can't say enough about how great Georgi was as our server. His personality and energy were amazing and truly made our night! If you are in London, do yourself a favor and stop by here for an outstanding experience all the way around! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! read more

What's in a name? It's called Santorini, but they don't even have the local island staple tomato keftedes on the menu. You won't be hearing me shout opa. read more

Really a nice environment, me and my girlfriend use eat here when we just want to relax and feel like in actual Greece. Food is very good and waiters very friendly. They just renovated the place, I'm looking forward for another meal! read more

Visiting London, we searched Yelp for a restaurant suggestion & walked to Santorini for lunch. We had a salad, octopus & mussels. The waiter was very helpful in guiding our choices. Everything was delicious, right down to the pita & sesame biscuits in the salad. The service & atmosphere & Greek music were all to our liking. We shared baklava with Greek coffee. The entire experience was delightful. read more

Mediocre Greek food with very poor service. We ordered humus with pita bread for starters. Bread was heated in microwave and quickly dried up. Humus was too watered down. We waited for 45 minutes for our main course. Chicken saulaki came touch burned with baked potatoes on side. Lamb house special was decent, but was poorly presented with only meet and split baked potato. Server did not approach us even once the whole time to ask if we needed something or to offer to refill drinks. Bill was presented in hard to read handwritten note. This restaurant visit was one of those experiences you try to forget fast. I will just try to remember one thing - never to come here again. read more

Cold reception from staff as soon as walked in the door. The female waitress would much rather be on FaceTime then to show any hospitality - the food was okay. Wouldn't come back again, portions are quite small read more

Wow! My first 5-star review in a long time. Santorini Taverna was soooo tasty it warrants a 5-star review. So here's how it went down. My wife, 16-yr old daughter, 6-yr old son and I found this Greek restaurant in our neighborhood and made a reservation. We're visiting from San Francisco and were looking for something tasty but healthy too. And Santorini hit the mark. We started with a lightly fried cheese dish drizzled with honey and sesame seeds. Super decadent. Three nice pieces came so it was actually too much for the four of us. And very lightly breaded - not like TGI Fridays in the US. Refined properly describes it. Then my wife and daughter decided to order two starters for their meals. Each got the grilled vegetables which included peppers, mushrooms and eggplant in a very little bit of olive oil with a nice char from the grill. My wife also got a grilled octopus and my daughter got zucchini cakes with a bit of cheese in them. I got lamb souvlaki which was grilled perfectly - a great char around the edges and seasoned nicely. Also came with grilled green peppers, onions and tomatoes with the same char. And no oily residue on the plate. My little guy had beef and lamb meatballs plus he grazed extensively off everyone else's plate. The value was solid - 59£ for the four of us including one alcoholic drink and we took a bunch of food home. The ambiance was nice - not too stuffy to have kids (there were a few) but very nice for couple as well. Nice wooden tables and linen napkins in a very nice neighborhood. The staff was pleasant, not rushed, just easy. I really can't think of anything I would change as we're already planning to go back before we leave the UK in a few weeks. Highly recommended! read more

Probably the best meal I've had in London so far. We started with the (lightly) fried cheese with honey and sesame--need I even say more? Amazing. Everything off the grill--we had the grilled vegetables, lamb skewer, and grill octopus--was perfectly charred and delicious. I also got the zucchini rissoles which were great, although the fried patties were less zucchini and more cheese than I had expected. I will definitely be returning! read more

I moved to the area and really wanted this to be my go to Greek spot, but it didn't make the cut. I tried the trio of dips and they were good but the chicken souvlaki was boring and dry. The greek salad had awfuly bland tomatoes. A place like this needs to have really fresh ingredients and I think that was the downfall. read more

Santorini has been my favourite Greek in the area for some time now however since the old owner sold it to his old chef the food has taken a slide downhill Hard to believe that the chef that was so good before is not now. Why? Because is front of the house and not in the kitchen. The food is not bad but after ordering the "meze" menu and asking to replace chicken with some other choice of meat I received, instead of a mixture of meats as it should be, a plate of lamb chops. The staff and owner are pleasant, atmosphere not so. Price about the same as other Greek restaurants nearby but with less dishes on offer for the same meze. All in all I will need to think hard if I will go there again therefore for the time being I stick with Halepi. Sorry Santorini read more

Such an amazing find .! I Love Bayswater for its diversity and walking on Moscow road from Notting Hill to Queensway we came upon this Gem.. from the other side of the street we were drawn into this place.. and it delivered.. The warmth of the staff, the flavors of the menu and the graciousness of the owners.. our last dinner of an 8 day stay in Our favorite city.. it was superb.. read more

To be quite honest I've never been here but was trying to work out if it was worth a visit - the reviews here are all over the place or should I say Plaice. Everything from food poisoning to 'will deffo visit many more time' kinda comments, truly, is this restaurant run by a collective of different groups and hence all the hit n miss stuff? It can't simultaneously be brilliant and crap at the same time, unless maybe it was called Schrodinger's Rib Shack, So is it worth a visit? read more

We arrived late with four kids in tow. The owner seated us quickly and wowed us with the best smorgasbord of Grecian delights I have ever tasted. Price was reasonable for London standards and I would be a regular for sure if I lived here. It was our top meal in London!! read more

My friend and I caught some sort of food poisoning from the chicken. That says enough. There are definitely some hygienic problems. Both of us had diarrhea for days. We came here because it was the only restaurant open at the time of night, but obviously it was a trap! Had salmon as well which was alright. The food is nothing like the reviews. If you're looking for a good meal, you need to go somewhere else. Service wasn't bad though. read more

What a great experience. The food was delicious. The service was impeccable. The ambiance was delightful. We met the owner, his wife and daughter. A wonderful family with a great restaurant. We would return in a heartbeat. As we ate, a series of regulars arrived who were all greeted as family. Very impressive. read more

My husband and I went last night and there service was great, reasonably priced. We had breaded cheese w/lemon, dolmades, moussaka, and stuffed veggies. It was delish, CLEAN!11 I would recommend if in Paddington area. read more

Best Moussaka I've ever had. Simply delicious and the staff were very nice. So glad we found this place.

Really good Greek restaurant. The service was okay, not brilliant. But the food was excellent. I had a Greek salad and chicken souvlaki and whilst the former was as expected, the latter was terrific. The price is okay, although perhaps 10% to high. But overall, a very nice dinner. read more

Food was wonderful and nice environment! We got the meat menu for 2 and it was a great way to try a lot of delicious options.

My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch here. Great service and delicious food. The halloumi cheese was amazing!!

This was a fabulous dining experience!! We visited about 2 weeks ago and frankly, it was possibly the best Greek food we have ever eaten (which we eat regularly). Everything we ordered was delicious and elegant. We started with spanakopita and hummus, and chose lamb and pork souvlakis, mousaka and salmon as our entrees. All great! Nice wine list, attentive service and very reasonable prices. Excellent restaurant. read more

Had a wonderful meal at Santorini.

Has a nice ambiance in the place. Food was priced very well. Would highly recommend. read more
