What Our Customers Say
★★★★★
Absolutely incredible Mediterranean food! The octopus was perfectly grilled and the lamb shank melted in my mouth. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Definitely our new favorite restaurant in Santa Rosa!
— Sarah M.
★★★★★
The falafel and hummus are the best I've had outside of the Mediterranean. Chef Kara's passion for authentic flavors really shows in every dish. The service was exceptional and the space is beautiful.
— James R.
★★★★★
We came for a private dinner event and it was flawless. The family-style platters were generous and beautifully presented. The moussaka and Greek salad were standouts. We will be back for sure!
— Maria L.
★★★★★
Kalimera is a gem in downtown Santa Rosa. The combo kebab platter was outstanding — perfectly seasoned and grilled. The warm Turkish lamps and decor create such a cozy Mediterranean atmosphere. Highly recommend!
