Christakis Greek Cuisine

This place gets it right every time. The food, the service, and the ambience are all first rate and are worthy of your consideration. Last night, we started with what they call "The Trio" consisting of tzatziki, hummus, kopanisti, and fresh pita bread. It's a great appetizer. The Rack of Lamb I ordered as my entree was spectacular. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. It's a lot of food, so know that going in. She ordered the Gyro Plate and enjoyed it. The service is excellent as it consistently is.

Went to Greece last summer and was excited to find this place for some authentic Greek cuisine. Came to celebrate Valentine's Day so they did have a specific menu to choose from. We ordered 2 glasses of red wine, saganaki, and the Greek meatballs to start. For entrees, we ordered the Chicken Athenian and lamb chops. Also got baklava for dessert.Wine- 4/5, good!Saganaki- 3.5/5, good but wasn't super impressed Meatballs- 5/5, delicious!Chicken - 5/5, pleasantly surprised!! The green beans were divine Lamb chops- 6/5 can't recommend them this enough! Soooo flavorful Overall had such an amazing time and I was thoroughly impressed with the food. They have a corkage fee of $25 if you choose to bring your own wine as well! Patio was nicely decorated and they had a live guitarist performing to help with the ambiance. Service was fantastic, and they really make each guest feel important. I will be back and bringing my friends and family!

Christakis Greek Cuisine in Tustin is one of my favorite spots. It has a cozy, laid-back vibe that makes you feel right at home. I also appreciate that it's wheelchair accessible, with an easy entrance, parking, restrooms, and seating.Even though they don't have an official kids' menu, I think Mediterranean food is a much healthier option anyway, and the place has plenty of space for families.The appetizers are fantastic, authentic Greek flavors that really hit the spot. I always go for the dolma and hummus. I'm super picky about dolma, but theirs is just perfect.They serve all the classic Greek dishes at reasonable prices. I absolutely love the lamb chops here. Lamb is always my first choice, and at Christakis, it's cooked to perfection every time. If you're in Tustin and craving Greek food, this place is a must-visit.

Food was fantastic. There is a ton of parking in the back of the strip mall. Make sure to make a reservation, it can get really busy during the night. Theres some inside seating and a lot of outside seating. They have heaters and it is still warm to sit outside.Loved the saganaki, eat it while it is still warm! The arugula salad is fantastic. I would recommend ordering about 2-3 appetizers and one entree to share for two people.

If you are craving for Authentic Greek Food, then give this place a chance. They have amazing food and very good selection of wine. We are glad we found this hidden gem. Service is always awesome.

My all time favorite Greek food in OC...it's been a while since we have been here but we got a night with our kids and decided to come here out of many other places bc we missed the food and the atmosphere...Our sever Alex and the owner along with other staff are always on top of things on taking orders, bringing out food and checking on us and cleaning the table...We tried their scallops dish tonight and also the lamb rack is always my favorite...I love sitting at the patio...it's transformed me to somewhere far with their live music and the cute decoration.

Trio - wonderful selection of dips-- so good that we ordered one to go to snack on at homeMusaka - it was decent, but not outstandingCombo - the lamb chops were my favorite part of the combo. The pastitsio was pretty good too; I liked that the bottom was a little crispy. I'm not big on dolmades in general, but this one was solid-the staff was excellent; really great service

Hole in a wall Greek restaurant in Tustin!Christakis is located in a small plaza with several other shops.Restaurant is small with indoor and outdoor seating.We made a reservation so we got in without a wait but it was super packed little after so reservation is a must!For wine we got a bottle of Argyros red wine,For food I got the small villagers salad with gyro ($16) and my fiancé got the christakis combo ($31). We shared the trio ($13.5) for appetizerFood came out pretty fast despite the crowd.Trio hummus was not overly greasy and came with side of pita. The red bell pepper dip was my favorite.Gyro salad was a little dry but good peppery flavor, villagers salad had a block of Greek feta and chunks of olive, tomato, and cucumber. Wish the salad had less dressing but overall a light meal.My fiancé loved the lamb! I tried some and it was not gamey at all. The pastisia and the folks were also tasty,For dessert we got a baklava and Greek custard pie.Baklava was a little dry but it was filled with walnuts. Custard pie was simple and not overly sweet.Overall service is fast and wine+ food is tasty.Would love to try their other entrees my next visit!

Came here for a corporate lunch with a group of about 16 people and it was absolutely fabulous! We made a reservation before and when we got there they had all of our waters out already. Service was incredible, the owner was very attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. Food was also incredible and very authentic. 100% would recommend!

Food was average , nothing special . I have had much better.. They altered my tip from 20 % to over 35% . I called manager right away when my credit card notified me on my charge that night. All she said is I see we charged a higher tip amount that you clearly added . I'll correct it ( credit it) Wow. Wow. Wow. Check your credit card amounts that they actually charge and post to your card. I clearly wrote $20 tip on the line , not $35.40 . Our dining bill with tax was appr $100 Not cool to see restaurants do that. PS she offered no explanation on how that happened.. HMMM ?
