This had long been in my list for eating, they're among those few where lamb was available at lunch. Melt in your mouth good and a generous portion too.

Service was very nice here and the food was tasty. A good amount of options to choose from and they'll offer a separate small dessert menu after the meal. Go check this place out.

The best small resurant in Tustin. Service is fantastic, food is even better, live music. If you have not tried this place I recommend that you do especially for the holidays.

Incredible Food! Great Service! Good Prices! We came here for my wife's birthday in September; loved it so much we came back for our anniversary dinner tonight! Relax, Eat, Enjoy...Christakis is the best!

Simple yet executed to perfection. Called ahead, and they had everything I needed prepped and ready on time. Combined with the friendly and prompt service, it was definitely worth the price.

Recently visited here with a friend for the first time. We both enjoyed the cuisine and ambiance of the place. I had the Padakia (lamb) entree which came with rice, lemon potato, and green beans. My friend had the Pork Chop entree which also came with those exact side dishes. We ended a nice evening of outdoor patio dining and conversation with dessert. We both wanted to try one of their specialties, Baklava. The server was polite and attentive. We hope to visit again in the future.

Great place with some really nice outdoor seating. Their food was good, especially the appetizers! They had someone playing the guitar live, which was pretty cool. Our waiter was attentive. Overall it was a great experience.

K
Krystal Woo

The staff was friendly and waiters wore their masks correctly. Outdoor tables were well-spread out. Waiters were very attentive, but not overbearing, which was appreciated. Food selection was good and included most standard Greek dishes. Food itself was excellent and hot when it arrived. A little higher priced, but worth the quality.

We love going to Christakis on the weekends. They often have a guitarist playing relaxing music that our kids are mesmerized by. Plus, they're able to draw on the paper table settings which is also very handy if you have young kids. The food and service are always excellent and friendly. Highly recommended

Nothing beats Spanish guitar on a warm night. Except when paired with Greek food. Both dishes were excellent, especially the polenta. They let us talk forever no rush on the bill. They refilled my water a gazillion times.

My family has been going to Christakis for over 20 years and every time the food has been nothing short of amazing. Michael and his team provide a wonderful atmosphere which makes you feel as though you're at your mom's house in Greece.

Best Greek restaurant in the area. The lamb chops were tasty, moist, tender and so flavorful. Their green beans are addictive. The falafel and hummus are delicious. Pork chop here is also fantastic. Must try.

What an amazing date night! This is the best Greek food I’ve ever had, the hummus was so so good, the atmosphere was absolutely romantic. We ate outside on the patio, The weather was absolutely perfect and the guitar music/singer 10 out of 10. Our server Austin was absolutely the nicest, most genuine person. Absolutely took care of us! We Got to meet the owner, Michael, he treated us like we were family! I can’t think of a more amazing restaurant. If I could give 10 stars, I would! I cannot wait to eat here again. This is absolutely my all-time favorite place.

My wife and I were looking for a quiet place to celebrate a great week at work. The place was full and requested an outside table. The staff was very accessible and made it possible. The food was great, flavor, presentation, portions and prices were fair. The guitarist was wonderful in the background so we could enjoy our time. Overall it was a great experience.

Francis van Steenberge

This is a fantastic Greek restaurant that truly delivers on all the classic dishes. We sampled a flavorful lentil soup (though they offer others!), a rich and creamy moussaka, and perfectly seasoned gyros. They offer a wide variety of other traditional favorites as well. The shaded terrace was a real highlight, providing a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for our meal. Finishing with a robust Greek coffee was the perfect end. It's an excellent choice for a satisfying lunch.

Kathy Thomson

Lunch with a friend was great. The server was pleasant and patient with us. We had a lot of catching up to do, so ordering took us a while. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting.

The food, service, and atmosphere here at Christakis Greek Cuisine were phenomenal. The food here is very good. I really liked the lamb chops and pastitsio dishes. The lamb chops here are actually cooked well which is nice. The atmosphere here is great too, offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, a very nice restaurant - would recommend and return, cheers.

We were on our Disneyland family vacation from Idaho & Utah and wanted a beach day and some Greek food our last day in California. Found Christakis Greek Restaurant in Tustin, CA 17 minutes from Disneyland. If you Love Greek food this is a hidden Gem! Our server was Fabulous, didn't get his name, a little older gentleman with candy Blonde hair. He made us feel like we were locals and he loved having us there. The Food was Fabulous as well. All I can say is if you don't try this place your missing out! Thanks for a Great last night on our trip.

I was in town for work and decided to stop by this Greek restaurant after a long day. The staff greeted me with genuine warmth, seated me quickly, and made sure I had everything I needed without being intrusive. The lamb souvlaki was perfectly grilled, tender, and flavorful, reminding me of meals I’ve had in Athens. The atmosphere was professional yet cozy, ideal for unwinding. I left feeling both satisfied and cared for.

R
Rico Fung

Cute place with great value for money. Everything (3 dips with pita, lamb gyro, spanakopita, moussaka) tasted good, portions were big, and they gave us free baklava.

A family owned restaurant that treats you like family when you are there. Absolutely amazing food, excellent wine selection, and the staff is outstanding. Definitely recommend for any occasion for indoor or outdoor dining.

There is something magical about listening to Spanish guitar on a warm evening, especially while enjoying delicious Greek food. Every dish we tried was wonderful, and the polenta was the highlight for me. The staff was incredibly patient, never making us feel rushed, and they kept our glasses full the entire time. A perfect mix of great music, food, and hospitality.

Exceptional! We chose Christakis as the location for my friend’s bachelorette dinner and we were blown away. Mike, the owner, set us up in a private outside area complete with welcome sign, rose stems and plate. Beyond that, the service was warm and the food delicious! The bride is Greek and gave it a 10/10!

Sandia Harrison

I went to a private event here, and I will definitely go back as a regular dining customer. The food was excellent! They have a cozy patio and live music. Great atmosphere. Service was so friendly too. They really went out of their way to make sure we were happy.

I grew up in a predominately Greek neighborhood in Chicago which started my love affair with Mediterranean cuisine. Since moving to California, I’ve been on a hunt for Greek Greek food, particularly: avgolemono soup, a classic fresh Greek salad, and saganaki. All of those things are here and while I’ve yet to try the flaming cheese at this location, the lemon chicken soup snaps so hard. It’s been perfectly executed with silky tempered eggs, the perfect amount of citrus, and a speckling of dried chicken bits. I feel at home here and will make this my go-to Greek spot, especially during this time of the year when Greek penecilin is essential. Unfortunately the soup disappeared before I thought of writing this review and taking a photo but it’s not about the photo when it comes to that soul-saving soup 😵‍💫

Love Greek Food and this restaurant is like a hole in the wall but nice and cozy with a cute outside patio. Their lamp chop was so tasty. As well as ribeye steak. I always come back since it’s locally.

You pay for the atmosphere. Lamb chop medium rare is tender (delicious!) and the gyro appetizer is superb. Appetizer + main dish + a glass of wine ranges around +/- $60. Need options for hot sauce tho 😊

K
Kyle Strodtbeck

A perfect dining experience with the heart of Greece! The food was perfect and delicious - I recommend the trio appetizer and the house special lamb rack, all cooked to perfection! The owner made us feel welcome and told us how the restaurant is named after its original owner, his mother. His wine suggestions were perfect - nothing like Greek wine! I will absolutely come here again and again!!

I’m not very familiar with Greek cuisine, but I chose this highly-rated restaurant on Google to try something different. It turned out to be a great choice! Both the food and the service lived up to the high ratings given by other diners.😊

Christakis is my new favorite Greek restaurant in all of south Orange County. This hidden gem is in the cutest little shopping center, has a beautiful patio with string lights and a big Greek statue! What is more iconic than this? We had the hummus and pita bread tray, and the chicken, salmon, and lamb chops. It was all amazing. Some of the best food I have ever had. Thank you for an amazing night!

I’ve been here twice and everything is excellent. Food is flavorful, balanced and masterfully cooked. Dinner feels homey and relaxed. I would recommend visiting in the late afternoon with friends or family, enjoying a nice bottle of wine and the escapism offered on the patio. Keep up the great work! Truly a gem in Irvine!

Brought us such good memories to our recent trip to Greece. From the hospitality, atmosphere, and food, everything brought such a homey vibe with incredible attention to detail. Pur server Erin was so sweet and knowledgeable with their menu. We can't rave over how good the lamb rack was! Even the potatoes and peas were something to drool over. Baklava was a must order, and we'll need to try their lunch menu. Calmari left something more to be desired, but everything else was so good that it wasn't much to critique. Left dinner with full intentions to visit again. What a wonderful spot for a romantic evening, totally recommend.

I had the mousaka with a Greek coffee and that pairing was top-notch! It was blistering hot outside (86°) in February! The server could clearly see that I was parched and quickly got me a carafe of water. I finished off my meal with their custard burek to indulge my sweet tooth. This is a date place that I need to remember!

My wife and I ventured to Christakis last night for our wedding anniversary. It was my first time there, and wow, I'm impressed! The lighted courtyard is so cute at night and the serving team was really on their game. They overheard my wife and I saying cheers for our anniversary and made us feel super special. The food is exquisite with generous portions—definitely try the lamb and Chicken Athenian—and there's a fine selection of Greek wines to choose from. We were so appreciative of the experience and will definitely return. Big thanks to the serving staff and chefs for making our night unforgettable. Cheers!

Love love love this place. I happened to be in the area after a doctor's appointment and was dreading the two hour commute home to Riverside. I arrived here only to find out that they closed a bit early (15 mins before 2:30p) I ended up calling after trying the doors thatvwere locked. Michael answered and explained my situation. He was so wonderful in opening the restaurant to allow me to grab a bite before heading home. The chef was so wonderful, and such a gracious host in preparing my delicious meal including turning on the outdoor patio music and fountain. I had a wonderful meal and will certainly come back with my family. So glad to see that there are great restaurants out there that are proud of their food and service. Keep doing what you do. I'm a fan!

The rack of lamb was very good, and the portion was larger than expected. I would have rated this meal a five if it were not for the bland rice, and only one small potato wedge on my plate.

I tried this restaurant today before my appointment. I had the Gyro wrap. As you can see from the photo, it looks very appetizing. But the quality of meat was the not the best even though it was flavorful and well spiced. The side of potatoes was good but it was not the same as other Greek potatoes I’ve had at other Greek restaurants. The restaurant itself was cozy and small. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. It was difficult to find this restaurant. My GPS took me to a different shopping strip close by. So I parked my car in that shopping strip and walked until I found this restaurant. I might go back to try another dish.

We went for lunch during week and food did not taste fresh. Although we have heard they have good food but our experience was not great.

Michelle Dudleston

I went to Cristaki’s with a gift card from a friend who commented it was one of his favorites….and that first visit we loved it. Guitar playing next to a lovely outdoor fountain under twinkling lights; every food course was a delight. We immediately thought this is a new favorite. Well that changed last week we had some guests from out of town visiting and we took them to our “favorite place.” It was such a disappointment. Most of our appetizers and entrees were dry, or covered with too much sauce, and generally not tasty. The service was cold and unfriendly, with nobody checking on waters and only occasionally stopping over. It was frankly embarrassing, as we had been raving about our first experience. Then unbeknownst to me, my parents went to Cristakis this past weekend, having heard us refer to it in the past - without prompting they said their food was such a disappointment, very overcooked / dry, and service was “ok,” but not great. I don’t know what has happened to this restaurant, whether they have had a change with their chef…or maybe I jumped to conclusions too quickly regarding our first visit being so wonderful. To make matters worse, the menu and dishes are not inexpensive, so it is very unfortunate that for the price being paid for a good meal, that the food was so poor.

Went here for a business lunch. Four of us ordered chicken souvlaki and the chicken was really tough; it was difficult to chew. All of us had the same idea and we didn’t even finish the chicken. I got coke and the rest got lemonade, the guy was pretty good at refilling their cups but I can’t say the same thing for myself. Not thinking to visit this place again until they hire a real cook and they increase their baseline :)

# Christakis Greek Cuisine: Un Oasis Mediterráneo en Tustin

En el vibrante paisaje culinario de Tustin, California, emerge un establecimiento que promete transportar a sus comensales directamente a las soleadas costas del Egeo: Christakis Greek Cuisine. Ubicado estratégicamente en Newport Avenue, este restaurante no es solo un lugar para comer, sino una puerta de entrada a la rica tradición gastronómica y cultural de Grecia, ofreciendo una experiencia auténtica que deleita los sentidos y nutre el alma. Con una ubicación privilegiada en una de las arterias principales de Tustin, Christakis se presenta como un faro de la cocina mediterránea, invitando a residentes y visitantes a descubrir los sabores, aromas y la calidez de la hospitalidad griega.

La cocina griega es una de las más antiguas y celebradas del mundo, con raíces que se extienden miles de años atrás hasta la antigua Grecia. Es una gastronomía que valora la frescura de los ingredientes, la simplicidad en la preparación y la generosidad en la mesa. Christakis Greek Cuisine se erige como un digno embajador de esta herencia, esforzándose por recrear fielmente los platos que han sido el corazón de las familias griegas por generaciones. Desde los aceites de oliva virgen extra hasta las hierbas aromáticas y los productos frescos, cada elemento en la cocina griega tiene un propósito y una historia, y en Christakis, esa historia se cuenta a través de cada bocado.

La Esencia de la Cocina Griega: Historia y Filosofía Culinaria

La cocina griega es mucho más que una simple combinación de ingredientes; es una filosofía de vida que celebra la comunidad, la familia y el placer de compartir una buena comida. Su historia se entrelaza con la de la civilización occidental, influenciando y siendo influenciada por las culturas que han pasado por el Mediterráneo. Desde los banquetes de la antigua Grecia, donde se valoraban la moderación y la calidad de los productos, hasta la influencia del Imperio Otomano que introdujo especias y técnicas, la cocina griega ha evolucionado manteniendo siempre su esencia.

En el corazón de esta gastronomía se encuentran ingredientes fundamentales que son pilares de la dieta mediterránea, reconocida mundialmente por sus beneficios para la salud. El aceite de oliva, el "oro líquido" de Grecia, es omnipresente, utilizado no solo para cocinar sino también como aderezo principal. Las hierbas frescas como el orégano, la menta, el tomillo y el eneldo aportan aromas inconfundibles. Las verduras de temporada, los quesos frescos como la feta, las legumbres, el pescado y el marisco fresco, y las carnes como el cordero y el cerdo, completan el repertorio. La cocina griega es un testimonio de cómo ingredientes sencillos, cuando se combinan con sabiduría y pasión, pueden crear platos de una complejidad y sabor extraordinarios. Christakis Greek Cuisine, al abrazar estos principios, ofrece una ventana a esta rica tradición, donde cada plato es una expresión de respeto por la historia y un tributo a la frescura.

Un Viaje Gastronómico por Grecia: Platos Emblemáticos en Christakis

Al visitar Christakis Greek Cuisine, los comensales se embarcan en un auténtico viaje culinario que abarca la diversidad de sabores y texturas de Grecia. La carta de un establecimiento como Christakis suele ser un reflejo de los platos más queridos y reconocidos de la gastronomía helena, cuidadosamente preparados para evocar la autenticidad.

Imaginemos comenzar con una selección de mezzedes, pequeños platos que se comparten y estimulan el apetito. El Tzatziki, una refrescante salsa de yogur griego con pepino, ajo y eneldo, es un clásico imprescindible, perfecto para acompañar pan de pita caliente. Las Dolmades, hojas de parra rellenas de arroz y hierbas, a menudo servidas frías y con un toque de limón, son otro favorito que muestra la delicadeza de la cocina griega. No puede faltar la Spanakopita, un pastel salado de espinacas y queso feta envuelto en crujiente masa filo, un testimonio de la habilidad para transformar ingredientes simples en una delicia.

Para los platos principales, la oferta es igualmente tentadora. La Moussaka, a menudo considerada la "lasaña griega", es una obra maestra de capas: berenjenas, carne picada sazonada y una cremosa bechamel, todo horneado a la perfección. Es un plato reconfortante y sustancioso que encapsula la esencia de la cocina casera griega. El Souvlaki, brochetas de carne (pollo, cerdo o cordero) marinadas y asadas a la parrilla, servidas con pan de pita, tomate, cebolla y tzatziki, representa la comida callejera griega en su máxima expresión, simple, sabrosa y satisfactoria. Los Gyros, otra opción popular de carne asada lentamente en un asador vertical, cortada en finas láminas y servida en pan de pita con acompañamientos similares, son una explosión de sabor en cada bocado.

Los amantes del pescado y el marisco también encuentran su lugar, con opciones que suelen incluir pescados frescos a la parrilla, sazonados con aceite de oliva y limón, reflejando la cercanía de Grecia al mar. Las ensaladas, como la icónica Horiatiki o ensalada griega, con sus tomates maduros, pepinos crujientes, cebolla roja, aceitunas Kalamata y un generoso bloque de queso feta, aderezada con aceite de oliva y orégano, es un himno a la frescura y la calidad de los productos mediterráneos.

Cada uno de estos platos, preparados en un lugar como Christakis, no solo satisface el hambre, sino que también cuenta una historia, evocando recuerdos de veranos griegos o despertando el deseo de explorar esta fascinante cultura.

El Alma del Restaurante: Ambiente y Hospitalidad Griega

Más allá de la comida, la experiencia en Christakis Greek Cuisine se completa con un ambiente que busca replicar la calidez y la hospitalidad (filoxenia) que son tan características de Grecia. La decoración, aunque moderna y adaptada al gusto local de Tustin, a menudo incorpora elementos que recuerdan a las islas griegas o a las tabernas tradicionales: tonos azules y blancos, detalles en madera, cerámica y quizás algunas referencias a la mitología o al paisaje heleno. El objetivo es crear un espacio acogedor y relajado, donde los comensales se sientan como en casa, entre amigos o en familia.

La hospitalidad griega es legendaria. No es solo un servicio; es una extensión de la generosidad y el deseo de asegurar que el huésped se sienta bienvenido y cuidado. En un restaurante griego auténtico como Christakis, esto se traduce en un personal atento y amable, dispuesto a guiar a los clientes a través del menú, recomendar platos y asegurarse de que cada detalle de la experiencia sea placentero. La música griega de fondo, ya sea instrumental o canciones populares, contribuye a crear una atmósfera inmersiva, transportando mentalmente a los comensales a un café frente al mar Egeo. Es este conjunto de elementos – la comida excepcional, el ambiente evocador y el servicio cordial – lo que eleva la visita a Christakis Greek Cuisine de una simple comida a una experiencia cultural memorable.

La ubicación en Newport Avenue lo hace accesible para los residentes de Tustin y las comunidades circundantes, convirtiéndolo en una opción atractiva tanto para una cena informal entre semana como para una celebración especial.

La experiencia en Christakis no es solo degustar platos; es participar en una tradición. Desde el momento en que se cruza el umbral, el aroma de las especias, el aceite de oliva y la carne a la parrilla invaden el aire, preparando el paladar para lo que está por venir. La atención al detalle en la preparación de cada plato, la selección de ingredientes frescos y de calidad, y el compromiso con las recetas tradicionales son sellos distintivos de un restaurante que se enorgullece de su herencia.

Ya sea que se trate de un almuerzo ligero con una fresca ensalada griega y souvlaki, o de una cena más elaborada compartiendo múltiples mezzedes y un plato principal contundente, Christakis ofrece opciones para todos los gustos y ocasiones.

Historia y Cultura en Cada Plato: Más Allá de la Receta

Cada plato en Christakis Greek Cuisine es un reflejo de la profunda interconexión entre la comida, la historia y la cultura griega. Por ejemplo, el uso extensivo de cordero en muchos platos no es casualidad; el pastoreo de ovejas ha sido una parte integral de la vida rural griega durante milenios, y el cordero asado es una comida festiva por excelencia. De manera similar, la omnipresencia del aceite de oliva se remonta a la antigüedad, cuando el olivo era considerado un árbol sagrado y su aceite un tesoro.

La feta, el queso blanco y salado que adorna tantas ensaladas y platos, tiene una denominación de origen protegida y es un pilar de la dieta griega, producido con métodos tradicionales que se han transmitido de generación en generación. Incluso el acto de compartir mezzedes refleja la cultura griega de la "parea", que significa compañía y la alegría de estar juntos, compartiendo comida y conversación. Christakis no solo sirve comida; sirve historias, tradiciones y un legado cultural que se ha perfeccionado a lo largo de los siglos. Es una lección de historia y geografía en cada bocado, una forma de conectar con una cultura rica y vibrante a través de su expresión más universal: la comida.

Más Allá del Plato: Bebidas y Postres Griegos

La experiencia en Christakis Greek Cuisine no estaría completa sin explorar su oferta de bebidas y postres, que complementan a la perfección los platos principales. Grecia es famosa por sus vinos, y un buen restaurante griego a menudo ofrece una selección de vinos locales e importados que maridan idealmente con la comida. Desde blancos frescos y aromáticos hasta tintos robustos, hay opciones para cada paladar.

Para los que buscan algo más tradicional, el Ouzo es la bebida espirituosa nacional de Grecia, un licor anisado que se disfruta típicamente como aperitivo, a menudo mezclado con agua y hielo, que se enturbia a un color lechoso. Es una bebida que evoca instantáneamente la atmósfera de las tabernas griegas.

En cuanto a los postres, la cocina griega es conocida por sus dulces ricos y a menudo a base de miel y frutos secos. El Baklava, un pastel de finas capas de masa filo rellenas de nueces picadas y bañadas en un almíbar dulce, es el postre griego más famoso y un final perfecto para cualquier comida. Otros postres pueden incluir el Galaktoboureko, una tarta de natillas cremosas entre capas de filo, o el Loukoumades, buñuelos griegos bañados en miel y espolvoreados con canela. Cada postre es una explosión de dulzura y textura, que cierra la experiencia culinaria con una nota memorable y auténticamente griega.
