There is so much to love about Santorini Gyro -- it's a cute, cozy place, the service is efficient and charming, and the food is delicious!
We started with a Stella ($4.50) and a house Chardonnay ($5.50) then ordered a cup of the avgolemano soup ($2.00), the filet mignon kebab ($18), mousaka ($13.99), and shared a slice of the baklava cheesecake ($7.99).
My husband thought his kebab tasted good but was too chewy. He always orders filet mignon because it's usually very tender. My moussaka was fantastic and I ate every bite, which is rare for me. Both entrees were served with a nice Greek salad with several amazing Kalamata olives and tender, warm pita bread. The baklava cheesecake was one of the best desserts I've ever had and it was served with two glasses of tasty tea.
Give this place a try!

You'll have to be on the lookout for this nice little Greek place in the corner of a strip shopping center on East Palm Canyon Drive near the heart of Cathedral City. But the food is worth the search. This seems mostly a take-out place, but they have a clean, nice little dining room decked out with tasteful Greek artifacts. We especially enjoyed the Zorba Combo (a $20 mixed grill of tender, delicious gyro slices, both beef and chicken, plus small lamb and chicken kebabs, very good tzatziki and a huge Greek salad - easily enough to share). We also had Mousaka ($16), which was good, but not the best we've ever had. And delicious Spanikopita ($9). Thick, strong Turkish coffee accompanied delicious homemade pistachio baklava.
This is not a "fancy" place, but service was very friendly and fast, and the food made a nice, easy after-movie dinner.

Decided to try a new restaurant and I am glad I did. Warm, inviting atmosphere and staff were friendly, courteous, and welcoming. Ordered dolmades, pastitsio, and moussaka. Everything was delicious. Lemonade was the best. Definitely will be back..

This small storefront restaurant does a big delivery business. As we ate, I counted at least half a dozen delivery drivers pick up orders destined for hungry diners. After eating a variety of menu offerings I was wondering why.
The hummus was terrible. The color was unusual & it had no flavor. The falafel was overcooked to the point it was almost too dry to eat. The dolmades had no taste. The chicken in the gyro chicken platter was overcooked & dry.
The spanakopita was damp, limp & tasteless.
Dinner companion & I agreed the side salad & pita was very good. We will not return

We ordered 3 entrees of Gyro plate tonight, take out, and it was absolutely awful. Chicken tasted like nothing, pita bread was soft and not charred. Salad was not Greek at all. There was NOTHING Greek about this dinner whatsoever. What a disappointment and a total waste of money.

The food was unexceptional to say the least. The Greek salad was not your traditional Greek salad at all, no Greek olives , tomatoes and cucumbers were soft and mushy, minimal feta and iceberg lettuce. The lamb kabobs were warm, the pita bread was cold, it should have been warm and toasted. The tzatziki and hummus were flavourless. No rice or roast potatoes which are common at all the Greek restaurants I have been to, which is a lot, including in Greece. Very, very disappointing, will definitely not be back. It’s too bad because the location is great.

I have been to both the cathedral city and palm springs location. The food is phenomenal. The chicken gyros, chicken kabobs and pastitsio are all packed with flavor and will fill a hungry belly.

This place doesn't look like much and the prices are very reasonable, but the food and staff make it a five! Our waiter was friendly and enthusiastic and sold me on trying the Greek wine, which was a new taste for me. The food came quickly and was fresh and delicious.

If you want to eat raw chicken and risk your health, this is the place for you. Customer service is non-existent. Disgusting establishment and should be shut down by the health department. See photo.

Santorini's is a nice little place with great food and personalized service. The owner and his son were very gracious and did a great job answering our questions.

We stopped there on a drive down 111 and were not disappointed. We highly recommend the lamb gyro-very tasty. The service was quick and professional. We look forward to our next meal there.
