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.

Amazing Greek food near Greek cathedral

by gigimakka

How much more authentic can it get? This friendly little store & restaurant is where the Greek community stops for a quick bite after services at the nearby Greek cathedral. Lamb chops to die for are only one of the many tempting dishes on the menu. If you are not familiar with Greek food, the store is a good place to sample delicacies like tarama (fish roe salad), feta cheese and dry salami to see if they might be to your liking.

Pros: great food, good value, friendly staff

Cons: parking lot in back

Great value

by kp

Papa Cristo's serves a full menu of great traditional Greek food at incredible prices. A full dinner plate of perfectly cooked rack of lamb (about 12 pieces), Greek salad, Greek potatoes, fresh made pita and tzatziki sauce was only $9.99. All other dinner plates including lamb chops, grilled chicken, grilled fish (whole tilapia), gyro (beef and lamb), souvlaki (kebab), leg of lamb are between $7.99 and $9.99. They also have fantastic warm and cold appetizers and side dishes. The staff was very friendly and you can shop the Greek market when you finish your meal including the impressive bakery if you still have room for dessert.

Pros: Great food, Inexpensive, Friendly staff

Cons: Lunch crowds

Tasty, cheap, and SOOOO nice!

by amandakjones

The food came in enormous portions, and each item was delicious (especially the warm, lightly grilled pita, the souvlaki, the green beans with tomato and onion, and the BAKLAVA), and it was VERY inexpensive!! But, perhaps the most winning aspect of this place was it's incredibly friendly service. From the counter staff to the bus boys, everyone was attentive and genuinely warm and friendly and concerned with our enjoyment of our meal. This is an "order at the counter and grab your own table" place, but the service was the best I've experienced in a long time!!
