This Restaurant belongs to the category of Greek restaurant.
This place is very unique, it has the best food that's Greek, so if its food you seek, come to Santorinis for a treat!! The service here is excellent, and the appetizers were so good that we just shared a bunch of them and didn't even order any main courses!! With how good our appetizers were though I would guess everything on the menu is top quality here!! I would definitely recommend this place, and I will be going back!
Good Greek food
Growth food great service
Tasty food and a pretty cool decor. The food was all great, but I really recommend the fried cheese and pita bread to start. So delicious.
Food is just ok, avoid the calamari. It was like rubber and had no flavour. Nice ambiance and the staff are friendly.
This would be a good Greek food restaurant, but if your stomach does not allow Greek food than this is not the restaurant for you. The restaurant itself is small, but the foods there are great.
(Translated) It is a Greek food restaurant in the neighborhood. There is a large parking lot behind the building, and the entrance is a blue door, which can be confusing. There are quite a lot of seats in the outdoor seating and indoors. The percentage of guests is 99% white. The menu is varied, starting at an average of $ 20 or more. More than $ 30 per person should be seen and grabbed. Mainly lamb is main, and there is a lot of potatoes. It does not squeeze, and it is delicious without being simple squeeze of food. The lamb does not smell and it is really delicious. I really bake seafood. Atmosphere of restaurant is good in Greek atmosphere, and feeling is good. But the server's serving was not interested in us so we could not serve a glass of water. I do not want to order drinks or starters, I just order the main menu. (Original) 동네에 있는 그리스 음식 전문점이다. 건물뒤에 주차장이 넓게 있고, 입구가 파란문으로 되어있는데 헷갈릴 수 있다. 야외좌석, 실내에도 꽤나 자리가 많다. 손님들의 비율은 99% 백인이다. 메뉴는 다양하게 있는데, 평균 20불 이상 시작이다. 인당 30불 이상은 잡고 봐야한다. 양고기가 메인으로 주로 있고, 감자가 많이 들어간다. 음식의 간이 짜지도 않고 싱겁지도 않고 맛있다. 양고기는 냄세가 안나고 정말 맛있다. 해산물을 정말 맛있게 굽는다. 가게의 분위기가 그리스 분위기를 잘 내고 있고, 느낌이 좋다. 하지만 서버의 서빙이 우리에게 크게 관심이 없어서 물한잔을 서빙 못받았다. 기분탓인가, 우리가 음료나 스타터를 주문한게 아니라 메인메뉴만 주문해서 그런가 싶기도 하다.
The staff are very friendly, the food is of high quality and the restaurant's environment has a genuine Greek atmosphere.
TERRIBLE!!! terrible is the restaurant which permits to its waiter to complain with a customer for the amount of the tip. It is incredible what happened last night and the first one in my life, after paying the bill with my credit card, the waiter remained at our table to check what I payed as tip, looking at the amount he told me that in Canada people are used to paying at least 15%. Maybe he thought that I would have taken other money from my wallet to make him happier, but the result is totally different, I am not interested at all in your habit, I pay the bill as requested and only for that, you must thank me for having preferred your restaurant respect many others and I want hear a goodbye (he did not). Otherwise the result is just: you will not see my money anymore, even because the food does not deserve that price!
Was commuting home and stuck in traffic on centre street during rush hour, on a whim my friend and I decided to stop at this restaurant for dinner. Happy we did. Food was delicious, seafood was fresh. My favourite dish was the Saganaki- can't go wrong with fried cheese. Finished off with the authentic desserts. The wait staff were also very nice and attentive. I will be returning.
Fantastic good great service. Thanks!
We had the meal for 2 and all of it was absolutely to die for. Delicious, wonderful service. Will never look at Greek food the same again.
Family owned, have never had a bad meal or experience here. Excellent food, service and authentic Greek , family, recipes that no chain can compare too. Always happy to support this local business!
Great food and excellent service.
If you are looking for an experience like no other place, then come here! We felt like home being here, the staff were very friendly and excited to see you. The service was spot on and the setting was perfect for that little Greek getaway. …
The city's best Greek restaurant in a casual, old school atmosphere that oozes character. The whole staff is phenomenal too!
Food is ok. Beware they do not split bills. We had to do 6th grade math manually when a computer could easily do the calculation.
Delicious lamb, greek salad, and appetizers. Almost feels like I'm back in Santorini
Great place. I have been coming here for a long time.
Very good food! But pretty high of a price
Nice atmosphere and tasty appetizers but the main dishes are not that great. I ordered the lamb souvlaki and it didn't feel cooked enough. Too expensive for what they offer.
I didn't go here I was getting my windshield fixed! Lol
Good food, small portions, big prices. The menu basically imposes a $35 bill per head which is steep for the setting.
Our favorite greek restaurant in the city! It definitely reminds me of greek island life (just wish they had red tin cups for wine ;)). Food is extraordinary! Efharisto. Super romantic and also family friendly.
Delightful ambiance but ooooo, the food is delicious. Really nice people run this taverna and it is such a treat to head over for the excellent lamb, seafood or chicken. I will be back soon.
Food and service were top notch.
Best place for Greek food in Calgary. Owners make every visit a great experience.
My wife and I called on short notice and they accommodated us quickly. It can get busy so it is better to make a reservation ahead of time. The food was very well prepared and extremely tasty! The staff were friendly and happy to have us in the restaurant, it seems to be a family owned place. We will definitely be going back again soon!
Love it. Food is good and service is always excellent. Go with some friends, order a nice bottle of wine, have the cheese appetizer and a good Greek meal. It is a smaller venue, sort of hole in the in the wall type place, but its part of the charm. Professional, small family sit down restaurant. Can't believe other raters are slamming because waiter expressed displeasure in not receiving a tip. What do you expect? The service is top notch, they are good at their jobs and they aren't slaves lol. In this day and age in Canada you are lucky if the person understood your order or the concept of customer service. Good service should be acknowledged,
Excellent Food! Great Customer Service... I will come back for sure
Amazing food, never disappointed.
Santorini Greek Taverna is always a celebration of fresh, tasty, and superbly create dishes. We enjoyed the taverna special, a multi-course feast that has us returning again and again. Opa!
5 out of 5. Very authentic Greek restaurant. Staff and food were amazing and excellent. Everything I travel to Calgary, I go to Santorini Greek Restaurant and enjoy the delicious foods. Make sure to have the Saganaki.
Great food great people!
I've been here a handful of times. Best Greek restaurant in the city.
The best
Great service and good food.
Try the Saganaki; you won't be disappointed!
Came here with my parents and had a fantastic experience. This restaurant managed to convince my traditionalist parents that Greek food is actually good. They were very impressed with the atmosphere, service, and food and so was I. Highly recommended. Especially the roast lamb. The downside is that it can be fairly pricey but I think the food definitely deserves and commands the price.
The roast lamb is always amazing!
Great Greek food, a good place for a relaxing afternoon lunch.
Deliciousness.
Food was authentic and delicious! Service was excellent and you definitely get bang for your buck!
The best lamb! What a great place!
Absolutely the best calamari I've ever had. Service is just lovely. Fantastic food. A true must do.
Great food. Good service. Good value. Will come back again!
The chef was missing for a few minutes for some reason upon our arrival, but we got drinks and the waiter kept my coffee topped up while we waited. When our meal arrived, it was very tasty, and the portions were large. All in all, a satisfying experience :)
Love this spot great food and even better Retsina
We were looking for a new place to eat in Calgary for our anniversary, and my sister suggested Santorini Greek Taverna. A wonderful authentic small and quant restaurant nestled into the heart of Calgary. The food was wonderful, service excellent and the ambiance perfect. I had the halibut with Greek salad and my husband the lamb chops with their potatoe, mixed vegtable and rice pilaf. For desert baklava made to perfection with just the right amount of sweetness and a coffee. Highly recommended and will take others here to enjoy.
Excellent. Great service. Had a rack of lamb. Cooked to perfection. The other 3 family members enjoyed there meals as well. Nice portions. We left feeling very satisfied. We will return.
THE ABSOLUTE BEEEEEST KLEFTIKO IN North America!! ... ok.. in Calgary for sure! there just is NO better lamb in this city, if there is... PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Not only is it the best lamb, but everything else is authentic! and he service, is great, atmosphere very comfortable and family oriented. Highly recommend this restaurant, a great establishment, great for a nice romantic dinner, a group of friends or a family supper! somehow, it's always perfect. Thank you!
Amazing food. Nice little place, but unfortunately extremely expensive.
Great Greek style place. A bit overpriced but worth it
Excelent authentic Greek food, great service by the staff.
Great friendly Service, very clean and above all fantastic dishes, very delicious!!!
A great place to enjoy good selection of Greek cuisine in a friendly environment. Staff are always friendly, smiling and courteous. Prices are reasonable and affordable. Food is wonderful and delicious for whole family to enjoy. Friendly owners too.
Everything was delicious and fresh tasting. The combo platter for 2 is plenty for a couple and then some. Great service to boot!
The lady at the front treated us with an incredibly rude attitude because we were a family of 4... I have no idea why she would think that, considering she hadn't asked that question over the phone and also the restaurant was basically empty when we were there. The food was fine, and the waiter was nice enough, I wouldn't really recommend it though.
Santorini was an exceptionally great Greek restaurant. The food was fantastic. I had the chicken souvlaki and it was so moist. The service was friendly, fast and fantastic. We will definitely go back.
We've been trying to support our local restaurants and tonight we ordered take out from here. Everything was great!! I ordered the lamb & prawn souvlaki and the saganaki. Everything was super tasty and a lot of food for the prices. The service was amazingly nice from the lady who answered the phone to everyone at the restaurant when I picked up my order I'm excited for everything to get back to normal so I can have a sit down dinner in the restaurant. Thanks everyone I'll see you soon.
The food was delicious and the service amazing. "I loved it all!"
We had such an awesome experience, all the staff were so friendly. Will return for sure.
Amazing authentic food, great cozy Greek feeling atmosphere, friendly staff! Make a reservation for weekends.
Great place to eat with Family and nice cozy atmosphere Food was very fresh and good flavor of Greek food
The seafood platter is nice but a bit pricy; moussaka is a washed - down version lack of eggplants and cheese; roasted lamb is very salty; good service, friendly staff.
First time at this restaurant and was very pleased with the meal and the personable customer service that we received! We will return!
Went there a few times and the food is always amazing and the staff very friendly.
Love this place and the staff.
We were a party of 10 having dinner here. Between us we had 4 drinks; the group mostly drank water. None of us had dessert. The bill was $488 including tax and a mandatory 16% gratuity, which they add by default for groups of 8 or more. 4 of us had the "Taverna Platter, which is a family style meal of select appetizers and roast lamb that can be prepared for 2 or more guests. This platter, like most of the food at this restaurant, is well made and delicious, but the platter is not a great value. The amounts of appetizers and roast lamb do not justify the $39 per person price tag, and some of us left hungry. Stick to the individual main courses. Also, the serving of the various appetizers was not coordinated well, and the result was that about half the party (the ones not having the Taverna Platter) was served their main course about 15 minutes before the rest. To summarize, the food is delicious, the service good, but not great, and the price is a bit higher than it should be. There are better Greek options in Calgary.
Great selection of Greek food and very friendly waiters.
Nice atmosphere and great food. Service slowed a couple times during our visit, but they were pretty busy so I didn't deduct many stars.
Tasty, good value and delicious! Authentic Greek food but wants you out when it’s closing.
This is the best authentic greek in the city! We've been coming here for years and always leave planning the next return visit. Staff are super nice even when they were slammed busy during previous times. This one is a must try.
Great costumer service and delicious food!!
By far the best Kalamari in Calgary.
Squeezed us in 45 minutes before closing and made sure we got our Souvlaki. The beef souvlaki was delicious and the fried cheese with lemon was exactly as delicious as you would expect.
I would normally think of this place as a dinner restaurant, but we had a very nice lunch. You can tell they care about the quality of their food.
Food was ok, but really expensive for the amount on a plate ($27 for a souvlaki, $14 for a little fried cheese thing). No way to change a diaper in mens side, baby hanging on the corner of a tiny wet sink counter setting off the auto water tap spraying him a couple times trying to not fall.off. Staff seemed nice
My favorite Greek restaurant in Calgary and beyond. Gives a family owned and loved atmosphere. Food choices are abundant and all of them are absolutely delicious. My family and I frequent this restaurant often and we will continue to as long as they operate like this.
Food was great. For the price I would have liked bigger portion sizes.
Great service, delicious food. Comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended.
The food is amazing. The best Greek restaurant in Calgary in my opinion. Make sure to try the lamb! It melts in your mouth!
Outstanding! Nuff said!!
BEST Greek in the city !!!!!!!
My family comes here often for an amazing authentic meal.
Got the platter for 2, it was fantastic. Will definitely be back again! Lamb and chicken souvlaki were superb, the only better Moussaka I’ve had was actually in Santorini (Nea Kameni), which is a testament to how awesome this place is. Great value, and super friendly staff. Can’t wait to go there when restaurants open up!
portions are very generous, food is delicious and staff are very accommodating!
Lovely food and good desserts
Best Greek restaurant in the city. They are regional for their greek food from the island of Santorini. I have been going here since they opened for about 25 years. the owner recognizes me every time even after a year. I have had every birthday and New Years at this place. Parking is good and the food terrific. I hope they will be there another 25 years.
The food was amazing. Don't go too late at night or they might be out of potatoes! lol. The service was good and so was the wine!
Best Greek food... Great quaint atmosphere... Super service.
Delicious authentic Greek cuisine. The servers are even authentic Greek as well!
Service was friendly, fast, and the food was good.
The best Greek food in Town! I love the roast lamb, and if you're looking for a great meal try the Taverna Special.
It was very busy, the service was excellent, prices reasonable, food so very good, but there was too much food, and well, we'll go back and try it again
Amazing experience, staff was even better than the food!
Good food, the calamari was chewy. All else was tasty.
Loved the food here. My wife and I got the meal for two and every single course was amazing. The lamb was melt in your mouth.
Great food and service!
Great meal in a cozy setting. Hosts are fantastic and the meals are superb.
Best Greek restaurant in Calgary! Family owned and operated, super friendly and all around amazing dining experience!
Great food, great service. Bit loud we went.
We had a fabulous take out meal last night from Santorini. Family owned and run. Safe and clean. And amazing authentic Greek food. We love their food and are so happy they are open now for the best Greek food in Calgary!!!
Wonderful food. Excellent service. A Calgary institution for good reason.
Good atmosphere. Food didnt sit well with my stomache
We had always wanted to try this place since we live close by and finally had a chance. I can’t recommend this place enough! The food was great! The service was also very good!
Slow service. Limited selection. When informed of allergy concerns rather than making items separate simply served without items that could be contaminated. No offer of substitutes. Not wheelchair/disability friendly.
Amazing food and service, never once had to ask for a refill on a drink as the servers were very attentive. Beautiful interior and the chef always makes sure everything is to your liking. In the mid range for price but certainly worth it. Definitely check this place out!
This little Greek restaurant is fantastic! It's cozy, inviting, and the staff are lovely. The Saganaki is to die for! The pork souvlaki is really good, but the show stopper is the beef souvlaki. It was some of the best, most tender beef I've had. If your looking for the best Greek spot in Calgary, you've just found it!
Good food great service
I've been here quite a few times now and I have always been happy - our family recently got some take out while that was all that was available at the time due to covid restrictions. Everything was perfect, I had the lamb again and it's the best roasted lamb in the city hands down. Wife and son had moussaka and they loved it. Seems they took advantage of the shut downs and did some minor renos to what was already a very clean restaurant. Highly recommend.
Visit Santorini Greek restaurant if you want to feel like you are in Greece. The service is beyond excellent, the food is perfect! Try to reserve ahead of time, they sometimes run out of space and you might end up waiting to be seated. Either way the wait is well worth it. :)
Great moussaka which was tasty and a large portion. Souvlaki was also very nice.
I have been eating at Santorini's for over 25 years. It is the only Greek restaurant that is worth eating at in all of Calgary and surrounding area! The food is always fantastic, the service is second to none and you are never disappointed.
Andreas, Maria and staff went above and beyond for our staff Holiday function. The food was wonderful and plentiful! The service very attentive. We had a wonderful gathering! Thank you so much!
Very good food. I would go back any time. It shows that the owners care.
(Translated) Good value for money for this Greek tavern with a good variety of choice of dishes. Large portions and friendly staff. (Original) Buon rapporto qualità prezzo per questa osteria greca con una buona varietà di scelta di piatti. Porzioni abbondanti e personale cordiale.
Great food but very pricy.
The closest to actual Greek food you can taste in DT Calgary.
Great food. Great service.
Amazing service, environment, and food!
I ordered the calamari and rack of lamb. Calamari was good but small portion. Rack of lamb was over cooked and sides were ok. Unfortunately I won't be back.
Meh
My husband and I have been going to Santorini for years and always enjoy the food and service. We can't get enough of the Taverna Special for Two is so delicious.
Absolutely fantastic Greek food! Took me back to the time I spent on Kos island. Anything with lamb on the menu is going to blow your mind The moussaka is delicious. Being middle eastern, I was reluctant to try the hummus at a Greek restaurant but did at my gf’s request. I’m glad she insisted as it was amazing, better than any I’ve had in Canada and comparable only to the hummus I’ve had when visiting the Middle East. Excellent dolmathes (stuffed vine leaves with lemon sauce) and calamari. Incredible Greek wine selection The baklava is very tasty as well. The service was warm and friendly the three times I ate here. The decor is beautiful and will make you feel like you’re in Greece, with the white and light blue decor and the beautiful pictures of various Greek islands. Might be my favourite restaurant in Calgary
You’re coming to the right spot if you’re looking for the best Greek food in YYC. The roasted lamb is by far the best item on their menu in my opinion. So tender you don’t need a knife and seasoned to perfection. Best to start with the pita bread and tzatziki!
Sadly I was very disappointed with my dinner I had here this past week. After reading positive reviews online I was optimistic, but for what was a $300 dollar meal for 6, I was not impressed, and we left hungry enough to go eat dinner …
Low quality bland food. Disappointing.
Great food, staff was friendly
We had the good fortune of going here with a native Cypriot. He ordered for us as we had never been before and it was delicious! We decided to order a few platters along with the fryed cheese and a Greek wine. The staff were friendly and made us feel at home. We ended with the bougatsa for dessert even though we were stuffed and it was worth it. I would recommend going with 4 or more people so that you can try more of the delicious menu items.
Excellent food with a fantastic staff and customer service.
I went here for lunch with some friends. The owner, Maria, took great care of us and we had a lovely chat while we waited for our food. We all had the moussaka, which is excellent and always very consistent. Santorini has been here for 35 years next month and is run by a local family. Definitely give this place a visit!
Great ambience! Helpful staff and of course, amazing food!
Best Greek restaurant in Calgary. With it's authentic decor and food, you really feel like you're on the Greek island itself. We will definitely be going back many times.
Amazing service. The food came out fast for the size of group that we had. The food itself was also amazing. The only negative is that they would not split the bill, so we all had to pay on one bill. Other then that I would come back for sure.
Very good food. Very friendly people.
Amazing Greek food! Been coming here for 30 years. And the atmosphere makes you feel almost like you're on a Greek holiday.
Our meal was incredibly delicious and the service was on point. Will definitely be back for more!
My wife and I had a nice meal here with great service. The baklava is outstanding!
Great Greek food. Had the lamb, cooked perfectly, always get the saganaki .
Friendly service, great menu
The best Greek food in town!
Expensive but consistently good Greek restaurant
Amazing food, excellent service! Very busy so reservations are absolutely required. This place is small and has been packed every time we come. All the dishes are very authentic as is the overall atmosphere. Good for families with older children
Very good food
The lamb is the best I’ve tried in Canada, and the flan (cream caramel) is the best also. Both meet in your mouth. Worth every penny.
Easily one of the best Greek restaurants in the city. Very busy, make sure you make reservations! Highly recommend the rack of lamb or the lamb souvlaki. Make sure you get a bottle of Tsantali Retsina! Parking is minimal so expect a tight squeeze or to park on the street. We got lucky both times! Wonderful atmosphere, very packed, but great none-the-less.
Fantastic meal. Lots of fun.
Great food, friendly service
Authentic Greek cuisine. Very resonable prices. Friendly staff and owners. Hard to beat.
Food is incredible!!!
One of the best Greek restaurant since 35years in Calgary. Quality,Service,Friendly!!
My favourite resturant in Calgary. Have been going here for years even after we have moved away. Love all the lamb dishes. They have a good, tasty selection of appertizers. I have never had a bad meal there. Prices are probably on par with other resturants serving the same dishes. Service is always warm and friendly. I am looking forward to my next visit to Calgary and dinner at Santorini
Nice place, food was good
One of the most fantastic food and customer experiences I've ever experienced. The food was cooked perfectly, and the staff - without having to be informed - caught on that it was a special night for my girlfriend and I. Our waiter took amazing care of us to the point it felt as if I was almost being tended too personally(All while maintaining the same customer service to every table he went too!) If you are on the fence of trying this place out - just do it. I promise you'll be blown away. And make sure you try the lamb! Probably one of the best places to get it in the city! :)
Great lamb and chicken, their potatoes are no slouches too!
Ordered take-out for the first time from Santorini yesterday. Wish I could of stayed for dine-in; charming interior and friendly servers. Food is expensive, and maybe doesn't look super fancy in a take-out box, but clearly uses great ingredients and tasted fantastic. Everyone in the family loved something. Will be going back.
Overpriced for what you get. The food was average and the portions, modest. There's a $3 extra charge for Greek salad with the meal, which wasn't really worth it. Service was just OK.
We came here for a birthday party. The service was fast and friendly. The food was great. The shared platter was a perfect mix of lots of tasty menu items. The mousakka was perfect. The fried cheese was incredible. Calamari was great. The souvlaki was a little dry but there was lots of tzatziki sauce to counter that. Mussels were awesome too and came with a great sauce. 5/5
Great place for Mousaka. Nice ambience as well.
Food was fresh great service & family owned. The owners took the time to meet all the customers great atmosphere & authenticity
Excellent service and hands down the best Greek food out there!
Very good food and great atmosphere. Plan to spend a long time enjoying and eating
Amazing food and service!
expensive but if money is not an issue you'll love it
Great tasting Greek food
By far the most authentic Greek restaurant in Calgary. Everything from the atmosphere, the decor, the alcohol, and especially the menu is exactly what you'll experience if you were in Greece. …
Excellent food and service. Casual atmosphere and reasonable prices.
Service and atmosphere nice
Nice setting, friendly service and great food!
Always wonderful.
The food is to die for! You cannot make a wrong choice! Highly recommend the bougatsa for dessert. The service is prompt and friendly.
The best Greek I've had by far! I had the lamb souvlaki with a side of Greek potatoes & salad. The lamb was perfect: a very fresh flavour, while the potatoes were just right with the lemony flavour. The Greek salad was on-point with the fresh veggies. Tasted the meatballs with tzatziki, & spanakopita: both were very delicious. The meal was light overall and not too rich, or oily (as I've found some Greek meals can be). The restaurant itself is very lovely - very bright and inviting, especially if you sit in the front. The lights are dimmer in the back of the restaurant - great if you want a little "mood lighting" while you eat. The staff were superb - friendly, efficient, and fast. You never had to ask for anything or wave them down - they were always nearby (but not annoyingly so), and this was a busy Friday evening. I am definitely returning & am overjoyed to have found such a wonderful place to get my lamb-fix!
One of the most incredibly satisfying meals I've ever had. The rich flavour of the meat, and Saganaki was delicious, even my picky toddler ate a bit of everything. You will not be disappointed with the food or the service of the restaurant.
I ate soo much and I regret nothing. Everything tasted so good and the service was amazing. …
Awesome spot
This is a very overpriced restaurant. $30 seafood dish included 4 small scallop wrapped prawns, 4 teaspons of octopus (made to look larger by placing on two large leaves of lettuce) and 2 small squid (each the size of two fingers). This …
Grt
This place was alrights. Food wasn't exceptional but it was good. Came here for my dads birthday. The service was good as well.
Awesome food
A great family-owned restaurant with delicious food, the lamb chops were excellent.
Arrived at 4:30 on a Saturday, without a reservation. They squeezed us in. Very friendly staff. Great menu. Great atmosphere. Great food. Highly recommended.
General good food and service. Lamb was decent but not the best I have ever had. Pricing was on the high side and I would expect a the restaurant facade to match instead of cheap patio furniture. Calamari could get same at a pub somewhere so bit disappointed it lacked any uniqueness.
The taverna special was amazing as always!
Great place to go for Greek food! Service was nice and friendly. We had appettizers, a plate for two that was very good, kids have chicken souvlaki loved that too. Good experience. Highly recommend.
Great food! Great service!
Not the greatest service... I said no mild or bacon... And there was taziki on my plate
Loved the Greek food.
Went there on a Thursday evening. It was very quaint and enjoyable. Ordered 2 hot apps for myself and husband to share along with drinks. The server was very professional and very upbeat. Food was delucious and cooked to perfection...I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale greek cousine. The prices are higher than normal but worth it occasionally.
Good ambiance. Good food. Good service.
Lovely family owned spot with a vibrant selection of delicious authentic Greek food
Absolutely amazing food. This place is a must try. If you're thinking about coming hear, just do it !
A little too expensive for the quantity and quality of food. Response to owner: I apologize for the confusion. I did not mean to cause any …
A restaurant that has good ambiance though I've had better lamb.
I loved it!! Food was delicious!
Close to closing time, but they cheerfully gave us a nice table on the patio on Canada Day. Service was great and friendly. The food was merely perfect. The house red wine was the best red I've had for months. This is still my favorite Greek place.
Ordered take-out and the quantity & quality of food for the price is not worth it! I would not go back. It tasted alright not anything special. Once the pita cooled down it was very chewy and tough. Overall, too expensive for what you get... Probably best to dine-in if you do plan to go.
Excellent service. Food was average. The tzatziki appetizer was very small with the accompanying pita bread being quite bad. We ordered takeout and by the time we made it home (less than 10min from restaurant), the pita was difficult to chew).
Went there for lunch. Nice sized portions. Excellent tasting. Great service.
Took a co-worker to lunch here and have been with my wife as well. It is a true-greek restaurant with awesome food. Do not go without ordering the saganaki - they do have the best in town. The lamb was perfectly braised - last time I went the lamb souvlaki was so so juicy and very tasty. Service was top notch both times and very Greek as well.
The food, the people, the atmosphere were fantastic. Highly recommend it.
I enjoy the nostalgic ambience here, and often recommend it to my friends (Greek and otherwise :) ). I take a liking to family-run restaurants that care about their food and this is a prime example of that.
Great food. I was so full after dinner. The staff was so friendly. Had a wonderful time with my whole family.
great greek food
Love the koftedes. The owner is very friendly, you get what you pay for. It is most likely the best Greek Restaurant in Calgary.
Excellent food! We were going to go for Persian food down the street but they had closed. Felt that Greek would satisfy the craving for meat on a stick. Absolutely the right choice. It was early for dinner (4 o'clock) so we were the only people but by the time we were finished it was quickly filling up. I would call for a reservation.
Santorini has everything you want in a dining experience: Charismatic staff, comfortable atmosphere, great wine, and of course the best Greek food you've ever had. Whenever my girlfriend and I are looking for a special meal, we always decide on Santorini and have never been disappointed.
Although the lemony flavor was okay it was super salty (even more than normal). When the spinach pie was served it looked more like a stuffed burrito than what I'd normally expect...in a roll form. The dipping sauce was decent with a hint of dill. The gyro platter was also just passable...meat was on the dry side but flavor was alright.
Went here for dinner. The portions are a bit small for the price you pay but the food is really good. Will be back.
Excellent service and outstanding food!!
Best lamb ever!!!!!!
19 years later and still the best Greek Restaurant in Calgary and surrounding area bar none. I take family and customers on a regular basis. They can’t say enough about the service and food. Many of my customers now go to Santorini and have became good customers. Andreas and Maria will always make your visit the best ever. The food is freshly prepared and very tasty. My go to restaurant whenever we feel like Greek food. The staff are all very friendly, knowledgeable and give great service. We had appetizer platter followed by the family platter. Nice big portions too.
Best Greek restaurant in the city. The special is especially worth getting.
Excellent experience, great first time for beginners that would like to try authentic and cultural greek cuisine. Suitable for family dining or with a companion.
So good! Authentic taste and great service!
We have been customers here for the last 10-12 years. The food is excellent, its the best greek food in the city for sure. Consistently perfect. Staff always the same, friendly, smiley. The only down side is that we find it very expensive. But if you don't go every day, its not such a big deal. I recommend this place for anyone that craves tasty yummy greek-ness.
I never really review anything online, posting this for the server's and kitchen staff's sake. Came to this place because it appeared to be a family owned ethnic/traditional restaurant, which I love to support. Food was of good quality, portions were good size for me, but are probably small to what most people are used to in this province, good non the less. But the owner's attitude towards the staff was totally uncalled for. The moment we walked in, the owner was already giving the server an unnecessarily hard time, which made for an uneasy atmosphere. For the rest of the supper the owner hassled the server (who was doing nothing wrong), and never even bothered to check on the table, she would only mildly interact with us from her office chair across the restaurant in an agitated tone (which was no more than 5 meter away from us). I don't expect them to roll out the red carpet, but a bit of courtesy goes along way. hospitality isn't a thing to the owners I guess. Did I forget to mention we where the only ones there? quite unprofessional man. If you ever go make sure to tip the server girl well, she was very sweet. I was in the restaurant business for more than 15 years, in Canada and overseas, it can be stressful, so I can sympathize with both owners and staff. But the owner's prepotent and harassing attitude towards the server was cringeworthy and unnecessary at best, specially in front of customers. Again food was good, but with the attitude you might as well go to Subway.
Ordered meal for two. Portions are quite small and expensive compared to other places. Moussaka was delicious, but chicken and lamb was dry.
Good food, worth 30% less. There is a dessert on the menu and the menu says it's amazing. It is indeed :)) The main part of the main dishes (e.g. the lamb in the roast lamb dish) are also pretty good, but their sides are very sub-par. The octopus appetizer was super fresh and good, and the saganaki (fried cheese basically) also tasted pretty good.
Amazing Greek Taverna! We celebrated our newborns birthday! The food, the atmosphere and the service all were beyond expected!! We would definitely recommend your Taverna to our friends! Thank you from the bottom of the heart. Eidelberg family.
Great food. Wonderful Service. I've eaten here before, but it's been awhile. Highly recommend this place. It is equivalent to good Greek restaurants in Greece!
My partner and I enjoyed a delicious dinner tonight. We enjoyed the pita bread, tzaziki, saganaki, kalamari, dolmades, spanakopita, lamb, chicken, moussaka, rost potatos, salad, rice and baklava. It was all delicious and cooked to perfection - just like Yiayia's cooking! The staff were very warm and welcoming, it has truely been a highlight of our stop over in Calgary! Excellent dinner out with friends, do not skip the appetizers they are amazing. Service was great and the meals were perfect portions.
Good food nice cozy atmosphere.
Good
So good. Had the kalamari & a souvlaki (lamb). Very well cooked. And our server was very attentive. A beautiful experience.
Very good food and great service.
Authentic tastes of Greece and best calamari I've had in Calgary! In 2011 my wife and I spent 2 weeks touring Greece and eating with locals, from Athens to the islands. When we got back we had major withdrawal and needed a Greek meal. We tried Santorini Taverna and we were amazed, it tasted exactly like the food we had in Greece! Very high quality food in a relaxed and hospitable environment. Love it.
Wonderful food and good service.
Great fried cheese. Delicious prawns in butter. Succulent souvlaki. Rack of lamb that was so delicious I smiled the entire time I was eating. Great service. Good wine.
Amazing food! I'm excited to go again
Good food and great service!!!
The best I have had, and I have been to Greece!
NOT recommend to anyone. This is our experience for first time without even coming to the restaurant. …
Great Find! Small restaurant, excellent staff. Drinks good. All the food that I saw going out looked excellent. I usually take pictures of all of my meals, but it was too yummy and I forgot! Only took the dessert! Shrimp delicious, had sea food platter appetizer which was great. Spinatikopia excellent as well. Saw multiple platters with mussaka on it that looked cool. Price pretty reasonable. Definitely go here! I am not even a huge fan of Greek food and loved it.
Good service, fantastic food. Ingredients are fresh. Easy access from downtown for lunch. Recommended.
Best Greek Food in Calgary. Have been going to Santorini for 10 years and never had a bad experience. The food is fantastic and the service is the best. They treat you like one of the family.
The food is really, really good, the service is friendly and prompt. A very authentic and delicious experience :)
Great Food!
Always good food! Very consistent with quality lots of healthy options
Perfection of what is simply good. Try the roast pig!
Great food
Good Greek food
Authentic food. Nice atmosphere. Great date place. Service is always excellent. Parking available. A small but pleasant place to dine for singles, couples and small groups. Been coming here for years and haven’t had a bad experience yet.
Best food and service in the city. If you’re looking for authentic Greek food cooked and served with passion, this is the place!
I was welcomed by a very friendly environment, and when I ordered with my family I found the seafood to be fantastic. Overall a wonderful service. Great staff with delicious food.
φοβερο Food was delicious! Definitely recommend!
Always good been going here for over 30 years
Awesome place to dine. I love their lamb they really know how to cook it. Always friendly staff very helpful. Fantastic place for a date night or to bring the family. I love the colors in the local very cozy. Highly recommend it
Great service, great food
Authentic Greek cuisine with friendly staff. Can't ask for more!
Great place!
Good food, but rack of lamb took extra long compared to the other food our table ordered
Worst service ever, we went for dine in, the staff were rude to us without any reason and not welcoming to give us a table & chairs so we left sadly.
Love the feast
Amazing food and service. Our host was so kind and funny! He made the entire experience great.
It was very cozy and homey. Great atmosphere! Food was delicious! Definitely a place to take your friends.
Amazing Food!
Easily one of the best Greek restaurants in the city. Very busy, make sure you make reservations! Highly recommend the rack of lamb or the lamb souvlaki. Make sure you get a bottle of Tsantali Retsina! Parking is minimal so expect a tight squeeze or to park on the street. We got lucky both times! Wonderful atmosphere, very packed, but great none-the-less.
This is the best Greek restaurant in the city
Love this place! They make you feel so special! Service is amazing! Food has such care and attention. Can't wait to go again
Terrible service, tiniest portions, but tasty. We decided to get a lunch menu. There were 5 or 6 items in the menu (I believe), but we only got 4.
Really wonderful mousaka !!! The lady who works there is such a sweet lady and great service . Definitely coming back for saganaki! ( calamari is yum too )
My partner and I enjoyed a delicious dinner tonight. We enjoyed the pita bread, tzaziki, saganaki, kalamari, dolmades, spanakopita, lamb, chicken, moussaka, rost potatos, salad, rice and baklava. It was all delicious and cooked to perfection - just like Yiayia's cooking! The staff were very warm and welcoming, it has truely been a highlight of our stop over in Calgary!
This place has a small free parking lot. The resturant has a lot of tables but it is smaller than photos. Great for large groups or a chill date night. Very cozy feel to this place and the staff way super friendly. Our waiter explained some menu items to us and made good suggestions. The food was amazing!
We were a large party and many of us had the lamb souvlaki plate with Greek salad and potatoes. Salad and potatoes were tasty, but the lamb was hard and chewy. Portion size was small and left us all hungry. Definitely not worth the price.
This one of my favorite restaurants in Calgary, service is awesome and food is great. I always enjoy the main course, Taverna Special.
Amazing food every single time. We've been going to Santorini for over 25 years and is so good. Warm, friendly service, authentic fresh food and a cozy atmosphere.
Brought my family here for mom's birthday. Had the $36/person multi course meal. The food is excellent.
Excellent food!!
Excellent food
Always great food
Best Greek food I ever taste, service is excellent, I love the environment, perfect place to take a friend for a birthday just to try something really delicious, I highly recommend this place . Totally worth it!
Awesome friendly little Greek place!
Food is phenomenal as is the service. A tad pricey though
The shared platter was amazing. The interior and atmosphere was enough to make me think I had escaped Calgary for a couple of hours to somewhere more Mediterranean. The service was not rushed, nor was the food slow. The attentive server made sure everything was timed just right. Will definitely be visiting again.
Yay it’s open again!!! I’ve been going to this place for about 20 years!! The food is always fantastic and staff are always so friendly, they make you feel appreciated. I highly recommend this place
Santorini is probably the oldest Greek restaurant still operating in Calgary and definitely one of the best. Not much has changed in the 20 years I've dined there, which is a good thing.
Loved this place, best Greek food I've had in years, will definitely be coming back for more!!
Great, if you like your food microwaved...server was attentive
Love their offerings!
Loved working with Maria and Andreas. We were from out of town and organized a wedding rehearsal dinner at the restaurant. The food was incredible, great portions and delicious. We were a group of 36, the service was spot on. I highly recommend Santorini's. I look forward to going there again.
There are many so called Greek restaurants in Calgary .Some of them for simply serving a Greek salad or souvlaki . Santorini Taverna ,on the other hand , is one of the best authentic Greek restaurants , and exceptional at that . Together , with great friendly service , makes this restaurant a must . Gary and Silvana
Great food
Food was good & so was the service
Food and service was excellent. We've always enjoyed our time here. Will certainly be back. C&E
Roast lamb was good but so much meat
Love the atmosphere and the food is so great!
The owners are GREAT. !!!!
We arrived 10 minutes late for our 6:00 reservation which was our bad. We were told that the table we booked had to be vacated by 7:30 which we thought was an odd first impression of this restaurant as we were out for a date night and didn't want to be rushed. My husband's chicken was under done so he was a little sketched out by the food. Mine was fine but everything and very very salty and lukewarm. The food came to $70 before tipping and without any drinks which we would have happily paid for if we were happier with it. We won't be likely to return.
Worst service and small portions. Not worth the money at all!!
Our favorite resturant. We have gone here for years and it is amazing every single time. They make everything from scratch and it is perdect.
Great little restaurant with excellent food and great service!!!
Authentic Greek restaurant with the friendliest service. Try the taverna special and ask the waiter for recommendation on Greek red wine. You will be delighted!!
Amazing food, great environment, great service
Fantastic place! The food is really really good. Service was outstanding. Definitely going again.
I Took my kids here this evening! We got a bunch of appetizer and share platters--- so good. The ambiance was lovely and non-pretentious, yet it was a nice formal night out.
Great food. Very authentic Greek, the service is wonderful, the ambience is well done along with the decor. Would highly suggest it!
(Translated) Very noisy, ordered grilled lamb and served boiled. (Original) Очень шумно, заказал баранину на гриле, а подали варенную.
The food was small for the amount you paid but delicious. The server was extremely rude to my friend I was with
Food was good but service was unbelievably SLOW!!! The two of us ordered dolmades for our appy - AFTER we ordered, a foursome entered and sat down across from us. They ordered and RECEIVED their main courses BEFORE we received the dolmades. The avalolemono soup - our second course - took 48 minutes to make it to the table!! I was at this restaurant about a year and a half ago and service was slow then, too. The food wasn't great then, either. I thought it was time to give the restaurant a second chance. I do NOT plan to go again!
Get the special (aka the food train): all the quintessential Greek dishes make up a 7 course meal. Always a treat.
Phenomenal service. Very quaint atmosphere. Did not like the food and found it overpriced for the quality. My favorite food is Greek food and was very disappointed. Will try again as they do come very highly recommended and loved the service. Very welcoming place.
Great service and food, had a great time for my brother in laws birthday. I will be back for my birthday to break some plates!!! Highly recommended
Delicious. Delicious. Delicious! A must try!!!!
Delightful food and amazing service! Dinner was a big hit with the entire family!
Best Greek restaurant in Calgary, the food is great you can't find it anywhere else.
We decided to give this restaurant a try when we drove by but I have to say I was very disappointed with the quality of the food. The vegetables were so over cooked it seemed like canned, the rice and potatoes had no flavour. I will say the …
So delicious! You must do the 3 course family style menu option they have. Pretty much covered all the items I wanted to try! Except for dessert, oh well. It was hot inside, no ac, but we still enjoyed and definitely would come back next time we are in Calgary.
Enjoy the Traverna Special with my lovely wife. So many nice dishes! And the service is good too. :)
Great food & service, & they can do gluten free Saganaki!
Just excellent.
Great restaurant!
Ok, good food, nothing wrong, just hoped it would be elevated a little.
Never a bad meal or poor service. A favourite.
A bit pricey, but not too bad, absolutely delicious. This will be on our list of regular pit stops.
Great service, nice atmosphere and easy chatting with the staff. Delicious food.
Great place. Nice people.
I wish we could give 10 Star rate! Really delicious and clean Supper friendly staff
good service
Great food great ambiance great service
Portions were small not sure if they were running out of food or what souvlaki was one skewer 2 small pieces of potato and some veggies for about 30$. Iv'e definitely had better at spiros
Went here for the first time last week- it was soooo good! Server was lovely and the food tasty. Definitely one of the best Greek restaurants in the city. Plus the building is cute and comfortable.
Excellent food and prices. Great service
Food is tasty but what you get for the price is not. Portion sizes are small for the price you pay
Very small portions, and quality was not very good for me.
Fabulous food, service, good portions & great value!! We will be back!! Thank you!
Authentic greek food. Lamb was very well done! Saganaki is a must-have. Napolean was an awesome host and made us feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you!
Great meal.
Do not recomend! Very expensive and the food was about a 5 out of 10. Meal doesn't include pita bread or Greek salad. Lamb was overcooked and I asked for chicken solvalaki.They brought it out about 30 minutes after the meal. No apology. …
$27 for this.... this is a joke. Take your money somewhere else folks, even Opa has bigger portions.
So happy to be returning to Santorini!! We popped in this evening for snacks, a glass of wine and take out. We were welcomed and seated outside in the sunshine. Service and food was, as always fabulous! Following health protocols we felt completely comfortable and safe. A visit from Maria and the beautiful sunshine made for a perfect experience. M&K
Fabulous food, good price,luvly surroundings
This is among best Greek restaurants in the world not just Calgary ….great food ….best wine ….service extraordinaire don’t even think about it GO THERE YOU WONT REGRET IT !
Had take out, too expensive for what you get. But the Calamari is Excellent.
Celebrated an anniversary, it was great!
Perfect
Best Greek I have ever tasted. Will definitely return.
Best Greek food in Calgary for sure!
amazing
We eat here once at week because the food is just so darn delicious. We always clear all of the plates..!! Service here is impeccable!!! Highly highly highly recommend!!! The eggplant dip and the sizzling cheese are much tries!!!
Love the Classic 50's ambience at Dadeo. Seafood Jambalaya and Fresh Oysters were yum!!!Both of us love seafood but we are not too fond of deep fried seafood, so these two dishes were perfect for us. Perfect seasoning on Jambalaya. We surely will be back to this place.
Favorite Greek in town!!!
The atmosphere was nice. The server was good and it seemed to be family run. The food tastes amazing. The portion size was to small for the amount paid.
Great service and very delicious food.
This Greek restaurant is absolutely fabulous! Everyone is kind and quick to help; and the setting makes you feel like you are in Greece! We typically have the Taverna Special for dinner, which gives you a sampling of all the various specialties with time to enjoy each course in between. They have a smaller lunch menu, but the food is just as excellent. Highly recommend for special occasions!
Just got the platter for 2 for takeout and an appetizer. The food is ok, but portions are very small and expensive for what you get. For example, you get a skewer of lamb that has only 3 small pieces on it. Not much there to share between 2 people. Very disappointed at $100 worth of food for what you would pay $40-50 for elsewhere. Will not be back again.
Great service
Was very easy to make reservations. Very welcoming staff. Beautiful restaurant. Food was so delicious!! Our kids loved it too.
Excellent food and warm friendly service.
Great place. Love the atmosphere. Has an authentic feel to it.
Food are tasty and staff are friendly with heartwarming services.
A little Greek paradise on Centre St. and Hwy1. It's a little stand alone old building right on Centre St. Colorfully decorated in greek colors of blue and white however interior feels a little dated. We were promptly greeted and seated as …
Food was delish, Server very personable and attentive. Had a very enjoyable dinner.
Best Greek restaurant I've been to in the city. Great food great service.
Good service. Friendly attentive staff. Very clean and neat. Uplifting decor. Feel good mood. Best lamb anywhere. Inexpensive. $22 for a lamb roast is very reasonable. Lamb was soft and moist. I could eat this every day if closer to my home. Baklava very moreish. I will be back again and again.
