We started off the night with the Mezze Vegetarian Appetizer. Not only is this dish beautiful to look at with all its vibrant colors, but it’s also bursting with flavor – tangy hummus, zesty tabbouleh, marinated grape leaves, and crispy Borak (to name a few) will excite you with different tastes.
For the main course, we each got the Chicken Kebab. What an indulgent dish! The chicken was succulent and perfectly seasoned. It came with rice pilaf, tzatziki, hummus, and a colorful assortment of roasted vegetables.
Unlike other restaurants that give you insanely small portion sizes for a ridiculous price, Cafe Santorini serves up very filling meals that leave you feeling perfectly satisfied. We were delighted by our dinner and thrilled that we got to sample different exotic dishes from the Mediterranean. Thankfully, this restaurant does NOT limit itself to just pasta and pizza.
The only downsides were that it took a long time for our food to arrive (around 30 minutes) and that our waiter was not very communicative. For example, our appetizer came with pita bread but we had no idea because it was tucked away under several layers of napkins! Wish our waiter told us, since we unknowingly ordered extra pita bread. Moreover, the tables on the balcony are arranged very close together, which did not provide us with much room for intimate conversation, but I guess that’s ok …we were focused on savoring our delicious food anyways!
The removed a lot of vegetarian options (no more pasta, no more pizzas). They have salads, and a vegetarian mezza tasting menu. On my last visit, I order of a vegetarian platter, they put meat on there, ruin my lunch. This place is not really greek food, it's more middle Eastern food. The location is great, indoor and balcony sitting. They do take a while to sit even if the restaurant is not busy.
Note pictures are taken over the years, they no longer have pizza, and the sandwich.
Just off of this, I don't care if the food is good, customer service goes a long way. I will NEVER come back to this restaurant.
Our server was nice and friendly though. The atmosphere was quite good.
No, not wheelchair accessible.
This restaurant is located in Old Town Pasadena and is a walk-up stairs with two dining areas. An inside section with a large bar and an outdoor section with heaters when needed and shaded windows.
The menu is compact but versatile - with many options. The food is Mediterranean, with Greek and Middle Eastern influences.
Someone at our table had specific dietary needs and preferences. The server suggested substitutions and adjusted a dish to suit them with no trouble.
All of our dishes were well prepared and exceptional. The service is very professional- knowing when to ask if we need anything and when to give us space.
I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.
