Restaurant Santorini in Erlangen

Hi, six of us were there last night. My conclusion: Anyone who has been going to a Greek restaurant for decades expects a normal standard of service from the well-known dishes, both in terms of taste, quantity, and ingredients like coleslaw and (of course) tzatziki. We had two regular dishes, but for whatever reason, there was no(!) tzatziki. Upon request, we had to reorder it (at an extra cost). The appetizer platter, for just under 20 euros, was beyond meager and poorly presented. A souvlaki plate consisted of two skewers draped crosswise with a tasteless rice ball in the middle—that was it. No tzatziki, no decorative toppings. Substitutions like preferring fries to potatoes were not possible! All in all: acceptable ambiance, friendly, if noncommittal, service, but unfortunately far below Greek culinary standards. Of five culinary-rich Franconian day experiences, this was by far the most disappointing.

Friendliness and willingness to accommodate special requests could be improved. The vegetarian plate could be more generous. Overall, there's room for improvement.

A good Greek restaurant in the center of Erlangen with a beer garden on Bohlenplatz. Delicious food and impeccable service in the modernly furnished Brockhaus restaurant. Restrooms are on the ground floor. I find the atmosphere inside a bit chilly. It's very nice outside in the summer. I think it would be cool if they offered more tzatziki.

Unfriendly employee; Master get up, we are closed. A full sentence and speech would have been friendly. Too bad

A feel-good atmosphere as soon as you enter the restaurant, very nice service and short waiting times for both drinks and food. The food was sensational and the price-performance ratio was also completely OK. We'll definitely be back. P.S.: There is also ouzo 😉 EFHARISTO

A very pleasant welcome Great service and very friendly service as well as attentive staff. A very pleasant evening Thank you

The best greek restaurant for me ever

Great food and very kind service!

We are visiting from America and have eaten here three times in the past week and a half with great food and excellent service. The staff is very friendly. I would highly recommend ,one of my favorite places here in Erlangen…..Love the Santorini decor….

Freshly renovated, advance booking makes sense.

Terrific. Super nice service. Food great

Super delicious, we had a great evening there with our friends!

Yesterday we were there with the company, the food was great, very tasty, highly recommended. Staff super friendly. The place is super modern and cozy. Highly recommended

Six of us had dinner there in the evening. We had a space outside, which was really nice and cozy. The food was super tasty, lots of choice of starters and main courses. The service is particularly praiseworthy, everyone was very nice and attentive. People always asked if anything else was needed The food came to the table at the same time. Simply great. Thank you for this lovely evening. We'll definitely come back :-)

We were there at lunchtime with work (about 20 people). It was opened especially for us and the service was really great. Despite the large number of people, the food was ready quickly. Highly recommended!

If you want to write a positive review for a restaurant in German, you can use the following example: Fantastic restaurant with excellent food and service! We had a wonderful evening in Restaurant Santorini. Das Essen was outstanding – fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Besonders das "Souvla" hat uns begeistert! The Service was attentive, friendly and very professional. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, ideal for a relaxing dinner. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall again und können dieses Restaurant nur weiterfehlen! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Loved the place and the food even after my second time here. Food was very well balanced including the seasoning of the salad which is easily forgotten. Definitely recommend. Still good at the 3rd time, quality not lost.

Great food and very nice and attentive staff. Santorini is always worth a visit 👌

Best Greek in all of Erlangen! Great service, great food and very nice atmosphere. We only ever come here and don't need any other Greeks anymore!

Very nice restaurant with delicious food and very nice service

Very nice, modern restaurant with very good food!

Super delicious food, large vegetarian selection. Nice service. Definite recommendation!

Super delicious food, great service 😍😍😍 I definitely recommend it 👍👍👍👍

The quality of food was not acceptable at all, Zucchini and Eggplant as starter was poor in presentation, quality and taste. The vegetarian plate wasn’t looking good at first look and tasted similar, very small portion, fluffy zucchini and eggplant, quality terrible. Not worth the price. Chicken was ok but couldn’t be too much wrong with it, Gyros big portion but not much taste neither. The prawns as a main dish again dissatisfying and rather poor, it could have been anything but Greek. A disappointing experience in quality, presentation and taste, this has nothing to do with Greek food and wonder why they are selling something like that to people, it’s an insult and stealing from customers. The question is, do they know about Greek Food or Greece in general? With the food we got we doubt.

Very nice service and excellent food. I will definitely be there more often.

Was a really nice place to celebrate Christmas, super good food!

Everything was great, we were a group of 10 people and were served straight away, the waiting time was very short and that Staff very nice, there's really nothing to criticize!!!

The food was good, excellent cooking, good house wine. The only problem was that you couldn't have separate accounts when paying by card, what a stupid rule, I left really angry. I won't go back there again.

It's been a long time since I've had such a good Greek meal! The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the service was super friendly and fulfilled all your special requests and the food was absolutely delicious! Whether you like lamb, fish or gyros - they can do it all!

The quantity is so small... not good value for money (Quantity is so less...no value for money)

Food was very tasty, everyone was very friendly and polite. I can only recommend it. 👍🏻

We have really enjoyed coming to Santorini since the change in ownership. The service is attentive and quick. The food tastes like it was freshly prepared and the meat (suvlaki) is very tender. After the renovation everything looks bright and friendly and the toilets have been newly renovated. Great!

In any case, it's my suggestion! 😚

I ordered via Lieferando, it arrived very quickly, after less than 25 minutes, the gyros with fries was very tasty, the portions are really good for the price. The young man who delivered was very polite and accommodating. I will definitely order again.

There has probably been a change of ownership because a lot has happened since my last visit. The furnishings are now much more contemporary. The outdoor area directly at Bohlenplatz was already a reason in itself to visit the restaurant. The service was quick and friendly. The appetizer platter was excellent. What should be highlighted positively is that not only eggplants and zucchini were fried, as is the case with some other Greeks, but a colorful selection with plenty of cheese was served. Unfortunately, the main courses couldn't live up to this, some were a bit too tasteless and the calamari wasn't properly gutted. This shouldn't happen and should urgently improve. The dessert was classic and good.

Super tasty food and a good portion size. Ordered for delivery and everything was delivered on time and very warm. Gladly again.

Really very very delicious food! Absolute recommendation!

Mega authentic and delicious food. My recommendation - galaktoboureko to finish

We came to the restaurant spontaneously without a reservation and were initially offered a seat inside (everything outside was full). But when someone canceled, we were offered a place outside. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The food is fresh and very tasty. We would love to come back 😊

Very attentive and friendly service, delicious beer and good food.

Super delicious food and the service is great! Very nice people there! I can just recommend it to everybody!

Great food, great staff, nice atmosphere 👌

A bit too expensive for the location, the warm starter plate was unimaginative, there are better ones in Erlangen.

Apart from the delicious fish platter, I have to say that these baklavas were by far the tastiest baklavas I've had in my life!

Great food, pleasant atmosphere, service very accommodating. Gladly again

Fast, friendly and attentive service. Delicious food, but there was one setback (hence only 3 stars): the starter plate for 2 people for a whopping €18.00 ❗️ There were only a few balls, several double, out of a total of 3 creams on the plate and 3 slices of sheep's cheese and 3 rolls (see photo). It's been a long time since a starter plate has been this EXPENSIVE... (e.g. at Hana in Erlangen 10 different portions for less money, but also at other Greek restaurants) Probably won't come back...

I had recently visited Vergnügen, the Greek restaurant Santorini in Erlangen, and I must say that it was a real highlight! Von dem Moment an, als wir das Restaurant betraten, wurden wir von dem extremely freundlichen Personal herzlich empfangen. Jeder Mitarbeiter strahlte eine echte Gastfreundschaft aus und sorgte dafür dass wir uns sofort wohl und welkommen fühlten. Das Ambiente des Restaurants ist frisch und einladend, da es erst vor kurzem renoviert wurde. The new, stylish decorations and the pleasant lighting create a wonderful atmosphere, which is perfect for a relaxed dinner. Especially nice is also the possibility to eat in the outdoor area. Der Außenbereich is tastefully designed and offers a beautiful environment to enjoy the warm summer evenings. The food in Santorini is simply delicious! Besonders hervorheben möchte ich den Leberteller mit gerösteten Zwiebeln und Knoblauchkartoffeln. The Leber was perfectly prepared, tender and fuller Geschmack, und die Kombination mit den knusprigen Knoblauchkartoffeln und den süßlich-gerösteten Zwiebeln was einfach heavenly. Every bite was a delight and showed the high quality and skill of the kitchen. A special highlight of the evening was the new dessert on the card: Baklava with Tiramisuge taste. This unique combination was incredibly delicious and the perfect conclusion of our meal. Die süße, knusprige Baklava harmonierte wunderbar mit dem cremigen Tiramisu und schuf ein unvergessliches Geschmackserlebnis. All in all, I can warmly recommend Restaurant Santorini in Erlangen. The friendliness of the staff, the freshly renovated ambience, the opportunity to eat in the outdoor area, and above all the excellent food make it an absolute must for lovers of Greek cuisine. A visit is worthwhile auf jeden Fall! And jetzt nochmal auf greechisch :-) I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Santorini Greek restaurant in Erlagen, and I have to say it was truly outstanding! From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the extremely friendly staff with a warm welcome. Every member of staff exuded genuine hospitality and made us feel immediately comfortable and welcome. The atmosphere of the restaurant is fresh and welcoming as it has been recently renovated. New, stylish decorations and pleasant lighting create a wonderful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The possibility to dine outside is particularly beautiful. The outdoor space is tastefully designed and offers a beautiful environment to enjoy the warm summer evenings. The food in Santorini is simply delicious! I especially want to highlight the liver dish with caramelized onions and garlic potatoes. The liver was perfectly cooked, tender and full of flavor, and the combination with the crispy garlic fries and sweet caramelized onions was simply divine. Every bite was a delight and showed the high quality and skill of the kitchen. A particular highlight of the evening was the new dessert on the menu: Tiramisu flavored baklava. This unique combination was incredibly delicious and the perfect ending to our meal. The sweet, crunchy baklava combined beautifully with the creamy texture of the tiramisu and created an unforgettable dining experience. All in all, I can only highly recommend Santorini restaurant in Erlagen. The friendliness of the staff, the freshly renovated atmosphere, the possibility to dine outside, and above all the excellent food make it an absolute must for lovers of Greek cuisine. Definitely worth a visit!

very pleasant atmosphere and great food

The food was super tasty. The consistency of the octopus was perfect. The meat was very tender and it tasted very fresh. Staff very attentive and accommodating. Any time!

Very unfriendly staff. We went as a family for dinner and were waiting on the tables outside. It is not true that we were eating or drinking anything, we offer to pay extra or to cooperate with the staff, since we knew we were early. They asked us to leave in a very unfriendly way.

You will be welcomed and greeted with a smile. The restaurant is run by a father-son team who treat every guest like a regular. A wide variety of dishes, friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors. I definitely recommend a visit.

Gute Location, charmanter Service, Essen etwas zu soßig, die warme Vorspeisenplatte war sehr lecker, die gebratenen Kalamar in etwas zu viel Soße getunkt, leider kein Helles auf der Karte, nur Pils

Good service, good food and there is always a table available for two people, even without a reservation.

Modern, friendly and delicious food, what more could you want. Thank you very much, we'll be back!

Simply perfect food, great service and the restaurant is super nice, you'll immediately feel like you've been transported to Greece 👍👍👍👍👍

In this restaurant you can experience culinary masterpieces that enchant all your senses. The dishes are not only delicious in terms of taste, but also prepared with attention to detail. The service is attentive and warm, so you immediately feel at home. For all foodies looking for an unforgettable gastronomic experience, this restaurant is the perfect choice

Long-established Greek restaurant at Bohlenplatz, good food, very friendly staff.

Great. And very nice staff. 👍👍👍👍👍☕️

Review by Jan Georg Klemke: Everyone was very nice. Super gyros and super garlic potatoes. Lionel Messi even served us. All in one a super restaurant.♡:)♡

Thank God the knives are sharp. Service: top Taste. Excellent It's good that you can pay by card.

Die Portionen waren unverschämt klein und selbst für große Portionen viel zu teuer. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht. Ich war mit meiner Familie meinen Geburtstag feiern, wenn es ein Date gewesen wäre hätte ich mich geschämt dort zu sein. Ich hab noch nie so kleine Portionen gesehen.

Vegetarian food is very tasty. Thank you

Erlangen - one of the most beautiful (Greek) restaurants in Germany that I have visited so far. The owner was super nice, the whole staff was very friendly and accommodating, the food was simply fantastic, the price was great. Anyone who is staying in Erlangen or nearby or is driving past and is hungry, this is the right address. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant is highly recommended. The food tastes great, the atmosphere is great, the staff are very nice and accommodating. Anyone staying in Erlangen should eat at this restaurant. We will be back! Greetings from the most beautiful city in Germany (Cologne) Schieh-Schneider family

Great ambience, top food and attentive and friendly service. Absolute recommendation!!

Best Greek restaurant in Erlangen. Unfortunately, I only became aware of it much too late.

To recommend!!!! VERY 😋 DELICIOUS. A nice staff.

Delicious food, perfect portions and delicious meat. Nice and attentive service, we enjoyed it 😋🥰

The food was fantastic. The main course was a bit small, but a small starter filled me up. The price is also very good. I didn't pay €20 for the starter and main course.

Really njce Greek food! We had to find a place to dine in at , on New Year’s Eve quite last minute as the previously booked restaurant declined our booking. But Santorini restaurant accommodated us quite in a friendly way. Service was awesome and the food was delicious!

Wir waren heute zum ersten Mal nach dem Pächter Wechsel hier zum Essen. Das Lokal wurde mit einem neuen Lichtkonzept überarbeitet. Alles wirkt frischer und freundlicher als vorher. Der Service ist hervorragend. Sehr nettes Personal erfüllt dem Gast seine Wünsche. Auch das Essen lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die Vielfalt an Speisen auf der Karte ist typisch Griechisch, für den Deutschen, Fleischlastigen Gaumen geschrieben. Vegetarier und Veganer kommen auch auf ihre Kosten. Das Essen hat etwas gedauert...das Lokal war Rappelvoll, aber gut Ding will Weile haben. Nach 30 Minuten waren unsere Speisen fertig. Vom Geschmack war nichts auszusetzen. Die Lammkeule hätte wärmer sein können. Offenbar stand sie etwas länger im Paß. Trotzdem war der Geschmack überzeugend, wenn sogar hervorragend. Das Fleisch war so zart, das es freiwillig vom Knochen fiel. Ich habe selten eine so delikate Lammkeule serviert bekommen. Während des Essens hat das aufmerksame Personal immer ein Auge auf dem Gast. Für Samstagabend war das Lokal gut gefüllt. Es empfiehlt sich in jedem Fall zu reservieren. Der Lärmpegel ist im gefüllten Lokal etwas unangenehm. Leider ist es etwas Unruhig, da die Raucher in regelmäßigen Abständen das Lokal vor die Tür verlassen. Resümee: Der neue Pächter hat sein Lokal sehr geschmackvoll aufgehübscht. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Die Speisen sind hervorragend. Die Preise würde ich, für Erlangen typisch, als gehoben bezeichnen. Der obligatorische Ouzo vor dem Essen fehlt nicht. Ohne Ansprüche zu stellen, würde ich mir nach Begleichung der Rechnung, noch einen netten Gruß vom Wirt in Form eines Ouzo 's wünschen. Aber das sind Kleinigkeiten. Wir kommen wieder, mit der Hoffnung, daß nach der Erhöhung der Mehrwertsteuer auf 19%, das Essen im Santorini bezahlbar bleibt und wünschen dem jungen Wirt alles Gute.

Als ich das letzte Mal mit einigen Geschäftspartnern bei Santorini essen war, hat mich die Atmosphäre direkt überzeugt. Nach kurzer Zeit kam mein Essen und es war sehr sehr lecker. Auch der Gastgeber selbst und sein Personal waren sehr nett und haben auf ganzer Linie überzeugt. Zusammengefasst empfehle ich das Restaurant sehr gerne weiter und werde auch baldmöglichst wieder vorbeischauen!

Das Lokal am Bohlenplatz ist definitiv ein empfehlenswertes Restaurant in Erlangen. Tolle griechische Küche!

Das Santorini bietet nicht nur großartiges Essen, sondern auch eine einladende Atmosphäre. Ein wirklich beliebtes Restaurant in Erlangen!

Für mich ist das Santorini das beste griechische Restaurant in Erlangen. Ich bin ein großer Fan vom tollen Ambiente! Weiterhin viel Erfolg und zufriedene Gäste.

Für mich ist Santorini das beste griechische Restaurant in Erlangen. Das Essen wie immer frisch und lecker!

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Abend im authentischen griechischen Restaurant Santorini in Erlangen. Die Vorspeisen waren klasse und spiegeln die wahre griechische Küche wider.

Ich war begeistert von meinem Besuch im Santorini! Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und ich kann es als das beste griechische Restaurant in Erlangen empfehlen.

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit leckerem Essen auch die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Immer wieder gerne wenn ich in Erlangen bin!

Super schönes griechisches Restaurant, das Essen ist immer sehr lecker!

Für mich der beste Grieche in Erlangen!

it was great experience that nice service, taste

Verrrry nice food for korean!! :)

Essen war sehr gut. Bedienung super freundlich. Wir kommen wieder 😘🤗

Nach dem Pächterwächsel sehr stark nachgelassen, geschmacklich und Preis-Leistung. Werden nichtmehr kommen, waren beim "Alten" öfter dort.

Mehr als 5 Sterne gibt es ja leider nicht😏 Bei jedem Besuch von uns, wurden alle unsere extra Wünsche mit einer selbstverständlich erfüllt. Leckeres Essen, toller Service und ein faires Preis- Leistungsverhältnis. Vielen Dank dafür und bis bald😉

Zunächst muss man sagen, dass das Ambiente am Bohlenplatz wirklich sehr schön ist und die tische auch authentisch und schön hergerichtet waren. Zum Essen: wir hatten einmal den Grill Teller und gefüllte calamari Der Grillteller war per se nicht schlecht Nur fanden wir das fleisch teilweise etwas trocken und sehr würzig. Außerdem is die Beilage sehr klein ausgefallen. Die calamari waren gefüllt mit feta und Paprika und waren wirklich gut nur gab es dazu gar keine Beilage, was da gesamte Gericht einfach zu wenig als echte Mahlzeit machte. Zusammenfassend sind genannte Mängel wegen des doch definitiv nicht günstigen Preises leider schon beachtlich... Zusammenfassend is das Preis -Leistungsverhältnis nicht mehr angemessen. Positiv anzumerken is aber dennoch, dass die Kritik angenommen wurde und wir dennoch weiterhin sehr nett und respektvoll bedient wurden!

Schon lange nicht mehr so lecker griechisch gegessen.. Freundliche Bedienung.. alles war top.. Da lohnt sich der Weg von Bamberg..

Eine der Top-Adressen in Erlangen!

Leckeres Essen, netter Service und tolles Ambiente. Gerne wieder!

Alles in Ordnung, waren spontan dort. Geben sich Mühe.

Wunderbare Atmosphäre im Aussenbereich, man fühlt sich wie im Urlaub. Tolle Gastgeber und leckeres Essen. Top!

Nach Pächterwechsel enttäuschend. Wir waren langjährig immer abends im 21:00 zu sechst oder zu acht dort, um nur etwas zu trinken. Daran haben die neuen Pächter offenbar kein Interesse. Uns wurde deutlich zu verstehen gegeben, dass man Gäste mit Hunger erwartet. Schließlich bekamen wir den Kassenzettel auf den Tisch geknallt mit der Bemerkung, wir sollten das mal selbst zusammenrechnen bzw. aufteilen. Gastfreundlich geht anders!

Absolutely lovely greek restaurant in Erlangen 🤩 the place is cozy and great for friends gatherings. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The dessert was soo good fresh baklava with walnuts and cinnamon 😋 and served with ice-cream and whipped cream. I ordered greek coffee was ok, the only thing that the greek coffee is sweet (it was not mentioned anywhere so I didn't drink it). Otherwise, everything was fine, the place is highly recommended 👌

PÄCHTERWECHSEL. Essen leider deutlich teurer und weniger. Der Zaziki mit Dill hat für den Rest des Abends einen schlechten Nachgeschmack gelassen.

Essen war lecker. Bedienung sehr nett.

Heerlijk gegeten, souvlaki en gyros, heerlijk. We kregen een ouzo van het huis. Gezellig terras met de echte authentiek griekse sfeer, met natuurlijk blauwe houten stoeltjes.

Das Essen war nicht gut, viel mehr kann man nicht dazu sagen. Qualitativ minderwertig und sehr kleine Portionen.

Wir hatten leider nur Hunger für Vorspeisen... Aber das war wirklich überraschend! Hausgemacht und in einer Qualität wie ich nur selten griechisch gegessen habe. Weder in Deutschland noch in Griechenland. Klare Empfehlung. Und dann noch freundlicher und schneller Service. Hingehen. Genießen! Ya sou.

Top Essen und perfekter Service, war ein gutes Abendessen!
