Santorini Gyro — Restaurant in Lower Southampton Township

We entered Santorini Gyro and, even though the cook saw us and there was no-one else in the place, we were not acknowledged. After waiting for about a minute, I asked if we should just sit anywhere and was told 'yes'.

We sat at a table and waited for someone to help us, then we noticed a menu in a display stand so we decided what we wanted. There was a girl sweeping the floor who ignored us until we caught her eye, then she smiled and said "hello". We waited some more and another lady came out and went straight behind the counter. We caught her eye, smiled and nodded to her and she also said "hello".

At this point, we thought perhaps we were supposed to go up to the counter to place our orders, so we hesitantly approached. The chef said, "sit down, someone will take your order". Relieved that we finally had some guidance, we sat back down.

After a minute or two, the chef asked what we wanted and we placed our orders for Lamb Gyros. We were never asked if we wanted anything to drink but we saw a cooler and eventually served ourselves. We didn't have to wait long for our food. It wasn't the best Gyro, a little on the dry side, but really not bad.

I would have given more stars were it not for the fact that we felt a little uncomfortable at not knowing what was expected of us. Do we sit down? Do we wait to be seated? Will someone take or order? Do we place it ourselves? Will someone bring us the bill or do we go up to the counter for it?

Santorini Gyro is a quaint establishment just off Street Road on Bustleton Avenue. Although it’s style is closer to a luncheonette, it is refined, and has the air of a more upscale eatery. The decor is simple and elegant. For appetizers, we had the hummus and feta platters. Both were delicious. The humus was rich and creamy, with just the right seasoning. The feta was less sharp than I typically like, but was seasoned well. The pita was fresh, and came out of the oven lightly toasted and glistening with oil. Taking the counterman’s advice, I chose the pork Gyro, which I was told is the more traditional. The Mrs. had the chicken. As I am the bigger eater of the two, I got to try both. Although I personally liked pork a little better, they were both delicious...and filling. Alas, there was no room left for the baklava my wife spied when she first walked in. No matter, that’s just one more reason to return to Santori Gyro. We wish them good luck and...

not a true authentic gyro. very disappointed. if you want the best make a trip to theo’s gyros at q-mart in quakertown 100%. In response to the owner: Actually my personal perception is fact based on what I was served. Wilted lettuce and pink hued tomatoes dressed on overcooked lamb and beef topped with frozen food service fries cooked then served overly saturated in grease does not authenticate gyros back in Greece. Oh and you have me mistaken for someone who isn’t a connoisseur of quality. I can first hand tell you I never entertained my palate with ground meat imitation anything and I have only eaten gyros with lamb thinly sliced from a vertical rotisserie. That being said, rethink your traditional gyro façade because Santorini Gyro is merely the fast food of...
