Chef Ilyas Kara served us delicious, vibrant Mediterranean cuisine—fresh, flavorful, and the kind of food you genuinely feel good about eating. His service was exceptionally polite and courteous, and his enthusiasm for his craft shines through in every dish.
The chicken skewer bowl was satisfying and full of clean, bright flavors. And the hummus—wow. I didn’t get a photo, but it was plated with such artistic flair, shaped like a sunburst. Almost too pretty to eat… almost. The salad dressing was so good we joked that he should bottle it—and to our surprise, Ilyas sent us home with a container of it. That small gesture really speaks to the kind of gracious, generous host he is.
For parking, use the Santa Rosa Plaza/Macy’s parking garage along B Street and aim for the northeast corner; it’s just a short walk to the restaurant. And here’s a pro tip: make a reservation through OpenTable to enjoy complimentary hummus and warm pita for the table.
Ilyas truly does it all—cooking, serving, running payments—so plan for a relaxed pace. Slow down, savor the flavors, and enjoy a meal made with care by someone who clearly loves what he does.

Fantastic food! I’ll definitely be back. And as an artist at heart, was absolutely thrilled with the decor. So beautiful.
Highly recommend, it’s a special place.
Oh yeah, and the pistachio baklava is the best dessert there.

Wow! We discovered this place Christmas day. Food was perfect and traditional the service was fun and clearly the owners. I selected a Turkish wine and it was delicious. The place is decorated braiding and really transported us back to Greece.

We stumbled upon Kalimera while looking for a different restaurant. A kind man escorted us through the back door and treated us like family. We had the most amazing lunch. We tried the spanakopita, the dip trio, fried goat cheese salad and the lamb and beef gyro wrap. Everything was sensational! TJ is #1! If you want a delicious traditional Mediterranean meal, check out Kalimera!

We had such a wonderful lunch here today. The owner, Ilyas, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, the kind of hospitality that immediately makes you feel at home.
The food was outstanding. The chicken kabab and salmon kabab were both absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and clearly made with care. My husband and son had the baklava, which I sadly can’t eat, and they both said it was out of this world.
I also want to especially highlight how thoughtful and careful they were about gluten free needs. Ilyas personally made sure my meal was gluten free and even offered to prepare falafel in separate oil, which I truly appreciated. That level of attention and care means so much.
Amazing food, genuine hospitality, and a place we can’t wait to return to. Highly recommend!

Visiting from Las Vegas and our family wanted to check this place out. The restaurant is beautifully decorated.
I really enjoyed the Turkish lanterns. The staff was friendly and welcomed us in. Everything on the menu looked amazing so we ended up ordering several items and splitting them. We started with the dolmas, grilled octopus, warm olives, and spanikopita. All were delicious and fresh. The presentation was wonderful. For our main courses we ordered the prawns, branzino, lamb skewers, and a side of chicken skewers. DELICIOUS! The portions were great and we all had enough to give each a try. The owners checked on us throughout the meal and made sure we had everything we needed. My mother in law normally waits to visit us in Vegas to get good mediterranean food. I don’t think she has to wait anymore. Looking forward to coming here again on our next visit.

Kalimera Bar and Grill – A Taste of Turkey in Downtown Santa Rosa
If you’re visiting the Museum of Sonoma County, don’t miss the chance to explore a hidden gem just across the street—Kalimera Bar and Grill, a newly opened Mediterranean restaurant that’s quickly winning hearts with its authentic flavors and warm hospitality. I found this place thanks to a friendly recommendation from the museum staff, who also mentioned a 10% discount for museum visitors—always a nice perk!
At first glance, the restaurant may seem modest from the outside, but step in and you’ll be transported to what feels like a cozy corner of Istanbul. The interior is stunning, with traditional Turkish hanging lights, blue-painted walls, and white chairs that perfectly complement the Mediterranean theme. The space features a high ceiling that lets in plenty of natural light, creating a bright and welcoming dining atmosphere. TVs display scenic views of Turkey, and artwork on the walls adds to the authentic feel. There’s also a bar area offering wines and beers for a relaxed evening.
I ordered the Combo Skewer Bowl, which included beef, chicken, and lamb skewers, served with chickpea rice, pita bread, chimichurri, and tzatziki—a wholesome, hearty meal loaded with protein, carbs, and flavor. Each skewer was well-seasoned and grilled to perfection. The chicken skewer especially stood out for its generous portion and tenderness.
For dessert, I had the Walnut Baklava with Vanilla Ice Cream—a sweet ending to the meal. While the Pistachio Baklava was unfortunately sold out, the walnut version was rich and syrupy, though a bit sweeter than I expected.
One of the most memorable parts of my visit was speaking with the manager, who warmly shared his personal story—immigrating from Istanbul, settling in Sonoma County with his family, and bringing a piece of his heritage to Santa Rosa. He explained how many of the spices and decor items were brought directly from Turkey, and emphasized the restaurant’s mission: to offer freshly prepared, traditional Mediterranean cuisine in a town that’s been lacking such an option. He even invited me to try Turkish tea, allowing me to customize the level of sweetness—a small but delightful experience.
While I did mention the slightly high prices, the manager explained that they use fresh ingredients and prepare everything from scratch—a philosophy that certainly reflects in the quality of the food. And honestly, the experience was well worth it.
