Editorial Description by Citysearch
In Short
Part deli, part restaurant, Papa Cristo's is a cornucopia of Greek and Mediterranean edibles. Order food to go, dine in the casual cafe section or browse the olives, wines, pastas, pastries, meats and cheeses for delicacies to prepare at home. Dinner plates are basic meat-and-potatoes dishes with a Greek twist. Rotisserie chicken or loukanika (sausage) is sided by roasted potatoes, dill-flecked tzatziki and hot pita bread. Subtract the spuds, rearrange the ingredients and you'll have a pita sandwich. Portions are hefty, even the appetizers, and the flaky phyllo pastries are stuffed with spinach, cheese or meat. There's also an array of sweets, such as baklava, cookies, custard baked in phyllo cups and creamy Greek yogurt with honey.

This place is a great for good Greek food. And...you can have it how you like it. They have a sit down restaurant as well as a deli area, where you can order to go. They also have items pre-made to speed up your trip. I went here for lunch one day and was very pleased. The food was exactly what I expected "good Greek food." And the prices were reasonable.

Feel like your in Greece...  5 Star Rating - World class

I have to say that C & K has wonderful food and is a fun and interesting atmosphere. If you have ever been in Athens, Greece, you will feel like you are in the Plaka. If you like lamb, order the lamb chops. They are delicious. The greek market and deli are wonderful too. They have so much great stuff to take home. Go there and you will love it!!! All the food is wonderful!!!

A Secret Pleasure 4 Star Rating - Very good

By FAIR1

This place needs to expand and be more service oriented like a true restaurant although they have counter order and carry-out too. I have no doubt it could be much more successful. The food is great and far from mediocre--Hey, if I could I'd eat there several times a week. Price is well worth the tasty food (meaning you'll mainly get cheap-to-moderate BARGAINS in taste). Note store items swing low and high, and the emphasis is on food in a no-frills dining hall sprinkled with object d'art, with a tiny patio area thrown into the mix. You may dress casual to upscale (not necessary so guess it depends on what you're celebrating) It's all about the food so you'll not want to enjoy it alone.

Pros: Fast counter service available, divine selection, shop too!
Cons: Small parking lot

Authentic Greek Taverna in East LA 5 Star Rating - World class

By nvelis

This is the food I grew up on. The meats are amazing and the dips and sauces are authentic. Everything from gyros to grilled squid is on the menu and all with the authentic Greek flavors. Papa Cristos is fun for a group and appropriate for a family.

Pros: amazing food, entertainment, the market, good parking
Cons: styrofoam plates

Low key casual atmosphere. Great Greek food with fresh tasting ingredients. A top lunch spot if you are in the area.

Pros: Great prices, great food.
Cons: The giant dining room has an echo

Best Food 5 Star Rating - World class

By ortensia

Moving to Los Angeles from the East Coast I have found it difficult to find really good food (except for Mexican) however here it is. I love this place. It is similar to the Italian deli/family style restaurants back east.
Amazing Spanakopita and Souvlaki, ohh and the baklava. Best Bread I have had since I have been here and an amazing selection on Ouzo and Raki for brave. GO!

Pros: food,market,service

Best Greek Food! 5 Star Rating - World class

By manuella

I've been going to Papa Cristo's for years - ever since i can remember. The food is always delicious. The souvlaki is great and they have the best Gyros in town! They also have a wonderful Tzatziki sauce - very authentic. The service is always good and the people are very friendly. They also have a market (C& K Imports) where you can buy products from Greece and other countries. I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends.
