We had dinner here one evening whilst staying in Oia and can only say that if you want good quality food where locals can be found away from the massess of tourists this is the place. The service is friendly and relaxed as you are left to enjoy the atmosphere and do not feel rushed in anyway which is great... More

Roka was recommended to us by our hotel when we arrived fairly late in the evening in Oia. The only point that might be considered a negative is that the restaurant doesn't face the caldera, so you won't get a sunset view if that's your priority. Now all the positives. It has a large, pretty, sheltered outdoor seating area, and... More

Roka is a bit hard to find. But once you're in the area there are plenty of directional signs; and all the locals know where it is so don't be concerned. Consider it a treasure hunt. Three local people recommended Roka to us so we made a point to go there. We liked it so much we ate there twice... More

I have been to Santorini 5 times and by far this is one of my favorite restaurants in Oia. The food is fresh, delicious and unique and priced much lower than on the Caldera. Sure you might not have a view but the ambiance of this little restaurant makes up for it. You see many locals at this restaurant which... More

Had 1 dinner at this restaurant based upon Trip Advisor reviews. As per other reviewers have noted it is somewhat tucked away – just follow the signs to the Post office in Oia and then you will locate the Roka signs (Poka). We ordered the fried manouri cheese with honey & sesame seeds, mushrooms in sweet wine, meat balls and... More

It was worth the argument we got into on the way to eat there... very challenging to find but worth the frustration. I had the spicy sausage, amazing. More
