Santorini Greek Cuisine - DeLand

Santorini Greek Cuisine Restaurant in DeLand, Florida has jumped to one of our top five star restaurants. The sign over the kitchen says, “Kali Orexi” or καλή όρεξη in Greek (Good Appetite) and you will not de disappointed. The place is exceptionally clean, the service friendly and welcoming and the food scrumptious. The presentation is gorgeous and worthy of the finest dining rooms we’ve ever visited. We ordered the Gyro Plater and Basa Calamata (filet of fish) … and it was delicious as in, “Wow!” I just knew I would get home and later in the evening wish for just a wee bit more, so… problem solved with a bit of take-out baklava. I’ve been to Athens and this restaurant compared with the best I visited. From the website: “Santorini restaurant is owned by Manny and Agata Politis. Manny, the chef, came to the USA at the age of 16 from a tiny fisherman island in the Aegean Sea called Psara. He developed his passion for cooking working in New York restaurants and following his mom's recipes. Agata is from a small village in Slovakia. She manages the front of the house along with her great crew. They both strive for excellence in preparing authentic homemade meals as well as providing great customer service.” Indeed, you will sense that they have put their hearts into this wonderful place. Santorini gets my highest recommendation and if it means a bit of a drive, it would be well worth the trip.

Let me assure you, all the stars here are well deserved. I would go out of my way to come here again. Ended up in this place by coincidence on my way to south Florida. In the middle of the bustling main street this place added a different dimension to my Greek Food experience. The menu was simplistic. The seating nothing fancy. The food was on point. Fish cooked perfectly (hats off to the chef). The employees were polite and friendly.

Great food, service could have been better but they were very busy. Will definitely be back.

Awesome food and staff! One of our fav spots on the trip to DeLand

The Greek food here is excellent, and it’s one of the few Greek restaurants in the area. It’s consistently popular, and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried. They offer both takeout and dine-in options, and while it might be a bit on the pricey side, the unique flavors are worth it.
