Really, really excellent tri-tip sandwich, 12/19/2012
Reviewer: Chuck
from Santa Barbara, CA
I usually go to Yannis' for his Gyro, which is by far the best in Santa Barbara, but after reading the reviews below I decided to try the tri-tip sandwich...
The positive reviews are absolutely true - that tri-tip was quite possibly the best I have ever had. Thick slices of tri-tip..... I had to go home and sleep it off. Yanni is a great guy too......
I GOTTA remember to go there more often.

SB LOCAL FINALLY TRIES YANNI'S!!!! A++, 12/17/2012
Reviewer: Debra
from Santa Barbara, CA
My daughter called me on the weekend, and said she just ate 'the best tri-tip sandwich EVER"....Right!! lol Since we all know "good food", I drove a few blocks up by MacKenzie Park, and little did I know what was waiting inside...A HIDDEN jewel!! The owner was soooo friendly and fun to talk to...Ordered the tri-tip sandwich, and yes it is the best around, including Santa Maria!! The special herbs, seasonings, and the method in which he cooks the meat leaves the sandwich tender, moist, tasty, and not to mention the crunchy outside/soft inside fabulous bread!!!! It was so big, I had to split it with my 21-yr old son who feasted on the last 1/2....Now, I find myself craving that special sandwich, but there's lots more awesome Greek food that awaits!!! A+++++!

I drive down to town to eat here, 9/20/2012

I drive down HWY 154 to eat lunch here two or three times a month. I usually have the tritip sandwich, which has a lot of well seasoned and perfectly cooked tritip. The bread is high quality. Janni's Greek food is excellent also.The ambiance is family run deli. I am going back.

So authentic and delicious!
Reviewer: Karen
from Santa Barbara, CA
Mother and Son are the nicest people and great cooks. After awhile, I lust after their homemade foods, a real touch of Greece. What a shame that Santa Barbara does everything possible to keep good people like these from really becoming a sensational restaurant with so many fabulous Greek foods to offer. I can just taste the succulent lamb they'd serve. I wonder how many people miss this experience because of ludicrous sign ordinances and out of sight charges to get things through the powers that be. It's sad.

i put that tzatziki sauce on everything!!!
Reviewer: Yvy
from Santa Barbara, CA
My boyfriend and I had an especially pleasant visit to Yanni's and will surely visit again. We will always come back for that amazing tzatziki sauce which I can seriously eat with just about anything. We ate a lamb and tri-trip gyro. The gyro was different than expected but in a good way and the tri-trip was surprisingly delicious and very well made. You can tell just with one trip to Yanni's that you're getting something homemade and special. We also had a very interesting and intimate conversation with the owner and his mother. We are so delighted to find that people so kind and honest still exist.

Gyros at Yanni's AND Live Music at the Greek Festival
Reviewer: Chuck Keyser
from Santa Barbara, CA
I just noticed that the ads for the Greek Festival say that my favorite Greek band, The Hellenic Sounds are performing again at the Greek Festival, so my previous comment about that was mistaken.
Excellent Gyros at the Greek Festival (and Yanni's), great music at the best summer festival in Santa Barbara...
Life is good... Opa!!!

Excellent Gyros
Reviewer: Chuck Keyser
from Santa Barbara, CA
As a former regular at the Plaka and the Greek Festival (until they cancelled the live music), I had kind of drifted away from things Greek, but Yanni had a big sign out and reminded of his delicatessen, so I went in for lunch....
Now the gyros at the Greek Festival are invariably good (well, ok, I'll go for those even if not for dancing on the stage), but Yanni's were even better everything was fresh, and it was just as delicious as a large gyro is supposed to be, with great tatziki, lots of meat, tomatoes ....
Next time I go back, I'll try the souvlaki - if I forget about the gyros, that is....:-)

tasty lunch
Reviewer: Jen
from Santa Barbara, CA
Went here for lunch one afternoon. I had a tri tip gyro. It was full of flavorful meat, the yogurt sauce had to have been made from scratch and the pita was delicious and fresh. The owner was working and was a genuinely nice guy. First time to Yanni's and certainly won't be the last time. No frills, just good food.

DELICIOUS
Reviewer: Alex
from Santa Barbara, CA
I'm so happy I finally found a good gyro in Santa Barbara! This place is delicious. The meat was perfectly cooked and the tzatziki was awesome. I would recommend this place to anyone. The only downside is the restaurant itself needs some work done, it's unfinished and Yanni's needs a sign or something out front!

lettuce-wrapped gyros, no less
Reviewer: Chris C.
from Santa Barbara, CA
Yanni's Deli at Mackenzie Market does good Greek. This long-time family owned and operated eatery offers a varied menu of sandwiches and authentic Greek dishes and sides - 3 kinds of flaky spanakopita, for example. They're happy to do lettuce wraps for the gluten-free set - barbecued tri-tip gyros, anyone? Beverages and deli items, as well. Attentive, friendly and flexible service + tasty food - a hard-to-beat combo.
