Kaliya Reimagined Food & Drinks

Absolutely incredible experience! The views are breathtaking, the atmosphere is relaxed yet elegant, and every dish was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — especially the manager, Mike, whose hospitality truly stood out. Lunch was so good we ended up coming back for dinner the very next night. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting!

Kaliya was absolutely incredible. This was our first stop for lunch after arriving in Santorini. We shared the Panzanella with burrata, which was hands down the best burrata dish I’ve ever had. I then had the ceviche and fried, both of which were wildly delectable. Between the Manager, Mike, making us feel right at home, the stunning views, and our meal, we had to come back a few nights later for some time at the bar. Truly couldn’t recommend this restaurant more.

An unforgettable meal at Kaliya. The food was absolutely outstanding. We especially loved the beef cheek pasta and the ceviche with coconut sorbet that came as part of the service was a refreshing surprise. The desserts were fantastic, beautifully presented and delicious. From start to finish, both the food and the service were truly exceptional. Every dish felt carefully crafted, and every moment felt special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the island!

The Seafood Platter was pretty good, even and the meat was cooked to perfection, a nice fond in the bottom, though I thought I looked a little unimpressing at first glance for 39€. Nice bread and potato “sauce”. Giouvetsi was good and the taste was immaculate, I was really missing a bit more shrimp, but there was enough of the smoked eel. A nice cocktail, Silk Road Sunset, with a really good aftertaste of Campari. Now the bad part… when I came I asked for a table near the balcony, of which 50% were vacant, but I was told that I could only have a table further from the balcony, due to reservations. 10 minutes after I was seated, two ladies walk in and ask if they can have a seat at the balcony, and are told yes, even though they don’t have a reservation (I asked), and when I was about to finish another couple were allowed to sit by the balcony. And mind you, at this point there are still 3 empty tables at the balcony, and I had a really hard time seeing all of them as reserved judging by the activity level of the night. My advice, book in advance if you wan’t to have a chance of getting a balcony table.

One of the best meals we have had anywhere, and our favorite of our Greece trip. We had the scallops with an onion/bacon sauce and corn puree and it is the most perfect bite of food! As a couple we split three appetizers and it was a perfect amount of food. Highly recommend!

Very nice dinner. Excellent hummus and spicy cheese dip to start. They were delicious. Orzo with eel and prawns were outstanding as were the pasta dishes enjoyed. An issue we had with one dish was dealt with professionally. We drank the pelopanesse white, as the Santorini offerings were a little too pricey for our budget, it was an excellent wine. Thank you for a nice evening. Oh and the breads are fantastic!

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant in Santorini! The waiters were incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional — they made us feel welcome from the very beginning. The food was absolutely delicious, featuring fresh local dishes, perfectly prepared. But what truly made it unforgettable was the spectacular view— we caught the perfect sunset with a panoramic view over the caldera. Exactly the kind of magical moment you dream of when you think of Santorini. Highly recommend this place for a special evening!

If there was a Greek god of coffee and baklava then he has made his home here in the Kaliya kitchens, or he is disguised himself as the manager Mikhaiel. After eating my main, Mikhaiel suggested with a twinkle in his eyes that I get a baklava and a Greek coffee with it. Let me tell you... It was the greatest suggestion I have ever received. The baklava alone was crispy and sweet with the perfect crunch.... and the Greek coffee was the smoothest, richest and most flavorful iteration I have tasted to date. Paired with the baklava... It was magical... One bite, one sip, changed my life and i shall never be the same. If the aforementioned euphoric description wasn't enough to convince you, then you should know the balcony view is incredible, but make sure to have a reservation because you don't want to miss out. My advice to you. Go now, don't wait, get that reservation. But make sure to befriend Mikhaiel the disguised God of Coffee and Baklava from Crete. He will never steer you wrong. Adieu
