Step it up

We've been going here for over 15 years. we started off loving it, then just liking it, now it's just ok... you can no longer order skewers by the piece. There is less fresh green veg on the plate but more potato and rice? Lamb and beef dishes are limited, where are the grilled and fried calamari, octopus, fresh fish... more

A quality food

This restaurant is located at a very busy street and it is considered as an upper-middle class restaurant...
a warm welcome is what you experience until you get seated...a variety of dishes that suites many tastes is all available...Waiters knows about the food they are serving...
the restaurant gets too busy on weekends yet it still clean and neat...

Huge price increase

My husband and I loved going to Christina's as it was a great place to go late night for a meal and bottle of wine. We had not been in a few weeks and decided to go this weekend. When we opened our menu, we were shocked at the sudden increase in price. Almost every dish including appetizers were raised... more

Bad service, bad food

The patio looks nice until you walk in restaurant. The further back you are seated the more it looks gloomy. Hospitality is cold and the waiters are worst and their English is not very good. I had pasta and sea food for $24, my friend had grilled calamari it was not tender but rubbery. All the other Creek restaurant includes... more

Disappointed

I ordered lamb shishkobab last night. It wasn't edible it was all grizzle. The waiter spoke to the manager who said it was because I had ordered medium rare. I have had lamb hundreds of times and this was the worse ever. He didn't come to speak to me he just sent the rediculous explanation. The waiter was pleasant and... more

Loved the Food

I had the lamb chops, delicious. The atmosphere is great, they had a belly dancer. Service was excellent. Only negative was the smoking on the patio, right beside the no smoking sign. Appetizers were delicious, we had a sample platter. Various dips, pits bread,pickled octopus, olives and other stuff. Very good.

Great location and yummy food

The patio and open front of the restaurant make it a great venue on Danforth for greek food - the lamb and calamari are reliably good and the dips are outstanding.

Freshest fish, warmest smiles

I do not think Greek food is the most interesting, but this restaurant does its best to make it, using very fresh, and well seasoned ingredients, treating them with respect. Whole fish is fresh, sweet and perfectly grilled and served with lemon juice and olive oil. Portions are generous, traditional Greek dishes are well represented. There are lots of choices... more

Very good Greek

I am not a big fan of Greek food (very few restaraunts in São Paulo) but I did have a very nice meal at Christina´s. We decided to go for a set of snack plates in order to have a little taste of several different appetizers. It was a lot of fun.

Great Food & Belly Dancing

I had a wonderful dinner with my boyfriend at Christina's. They had Belly Dancing & live music to enjoy with our meal. I really enjoyed the different experience & will be dining there again in the near future. Opa!

Christina's greek restaurant

Absolutely the best Greek meal I have had in my 24 years of living with a fantastic Cypriot Greek cook.
There is a plethora of Greek restaurants in this street to choose from, I can't compare them, all I can say is give it a try.

Great Food and Ambiance

Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the atmosphere. Worth checking out if you relish authentic Greek cuisine.

Family lunch for 10

Looking for a place that we could hear each other talk since it was 3 generations of family that had not seen each other for a long time.
This place for lunch was perfect, great food, good service everyone enjoyed their meal.
Would definitely like to try again in the summer on the outside patio.

This is Greece! From the food to the music to the relaxed service and the awesome hospitality. By far the best fish soup in the Danforth. A great place to visit if you are from out of town or are looking for a truly unique experience.

Been waiting for our food for more than half an hour. The manager told us it's coming in 2 mins but the restaurant was barely full. They got our orders the same time with the table next to us. Their order came shortly and have been eating already. Very poor service.

Authentic Greek Food in Toronto East

Glad we took the recommendation for this restaurant. Searched on things to do in Toronto East and this restaurant was listed as a favorite in the Greek area on Danforth St.
We had great service and the food was awesome. From the fried squids and the spanakopita to the grilled red snapper (fish of the day) everything was excellent. We... more

Our go-to Greek restaurant

We drive to Christina's all the way from Milton whenever we want a great Greek meal with a live atmosphere. This restaurant is always buzzing with people, has a nice patio, live entertainment on weekends, good service, tasty house red wine and most importantly delicious quality authentic Greek food. A solid 4 star restaurant that we frequent often.

Great Greek food

We went to this restaurant as a recommendation from a bartender from an Italian restaurant we visited. I live near Chicago and have been to Greek town several times. We liked the food better than Greek town in Chicago. Would go back again not only for the food, the service was excellent as well.

Great nigth at Christina's

We went yesterday to Christina's probably for the 10th time. Great place and the best value for money evening. Nice food, with drinks and hours of live Greek music until 01.30 AM for 120 dollars a couple.
Will go back again

Do not eat here

If you go to the website, it may seem appealing until you find that it is closer to false advertising than reality.
Looking at their $25 per person "TASTE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN DINNER MENU", we arranged for a group of people to eat here before an event on Saturday thinking that it was a great deal and really looking forward... more

style and tradition

Restaurant with elegant modern mediterranean design. Food is mediterranean cuisine with some new trends, Atmosphere is always pleasant and welcoming.

One of the best the Danforth has to offer. A real Mediterranean delight

If you like Mediterranean style food, and eating atmosphere then Christina's is a great place to go. I think it has one of the best dinning atmospheres for this type of experience in the city. It is small, crowded and noisy, while wonderful aromas emanating from the kitchen fill the air along with wine and perfume. It's perfect. You have... more

Amazing food, disappointing service

Went to Christina's on a Saturday night with 22 friends for a birthday party. The food is amazing, the tzatziki to die for! The only thing is that the restaurant is really small, we were seated like sardines, it was very loud and it took almost 4 hours to have dinner! We waited for a beer for 40 minutes! The... more

Bravo

That was a great experience. Friendly staff, great service, and good tasting food. What surprised me the most was the server who was wandering around with the tray of the what I am calling trio-fish; that evening's specials. Three different type of fish: Red Snapper, Sea Bass, and Sea Bream uncooked and arranged beautifully on a tray so you could... more

Second visit confirms initial findings - Very Good

One month on we returned for a second bite of the apple. This time it was a Saturday night and you'll definitiely need a reservation after 6:30pm.
Just as before, the food was excellent. This time the atmosphere was much better as it was a packed saturday night.
The saganaki appetiser (not tried last time) is a bit on the... more

Gotta return on a weekend

Had a "magnificat' dining expreience at "Christinas on Danforth" Dec 27/12 . My Newyork steak grilled to my likings . My partners Atlantic Salmon was very tasty and you could cut it with a fork . Vast wine collection Very good service but no belly dancer on a Thursday night Therefore a good excuse to go back for a taste... more

Best Greek Restaurant

We just celebrate my husband"s birthday.The food was wonderful,nice atmosphere and relaxing Greek muzik!!

A solid 7

Good location: Typical menu for the location:. But service was somewhat inattentive although food ordered came at a good pace.
We've eaten here before and last night had dinner for 3. Chicken souvlaki was generous in size and well cooked as was the lamb souvlaki. The take away calamari with grilled vegetables was also good (for the daughter who couln't... more

Best Greek food

Four friends went there on Friday night. The restaurant even was full, the waiters brought our orders very quickly. The dinner was wonderful, as concern the quality, the prices and the atmosphere. I suggest it to other people, without doubt.

Worst Greek Food Ever

We were there with a group of 12 on saturday night. First off the place was packed, not good if you are with a large group. Our food was cold. One person in our group ordered the rack of lamb which was served to him lukewarm with tasteless rice and veggies. When we told the waiter the lamb was cold... more

Excellent experience at a great restaurant. OPA

Over the weekend we thought we would try the Danforth for a change and enjoy some Greek food. With so many places to pick from, it was a little bit tricky. We walked by a very nice looking spot and could hear Greek music being played and looked busy, compared to some of the other restaurant. It was Christina's on... more

Walk by

Although this place was packed...I'm sure with regulars, I was not impressed. Perhaps the loud atmosphere and young patrons, doesn't allow one to see that this place isn't the cleanest. This was my second visit but first meal. The first time I visited (many years ago), I actually ended up walking out. I won't be making a third attempt. I... more

Best Food and Service.
We've been coming to this great place for years. What brings us back after trying so many other Greek restaurant along this street, is the food and service. Not to mention the that the aumbiance is warm with a great two level patio for those hot summer nights. The weekends are very enjoyable with a belly dancer and a two piece, bouzouki and organ player to set the mood... more

Great Greek Restaurant
Visited Christina's couple of days ago. I felt like I was at a restaurant on one of the Greek Islands. There was entertainment, a bazouki player and a belly dance who were very good. For some people they might find it a little noisy, but that added to the atmosphere and it only lasted while the belly dancer performs. The food was great, especially the grilled octopus,... more

Beautiful Place to dine! We recently tried Christina's and we must say we truly enjoyed our experience. They have a beautiful outdoor patio seating which we chose to eat. We had several of their dips with hot pita bread along with a nice Greek bottle of white wine.
The tzatziki nice and thick just like we had in Greece, garlicky enough, but not overpowering. Our entrees were cooked just right.... more

It was my moms 60th birthday celebration this past weekend. We decided to go to Christina's for this celebration. There was a group of 8 and I must say we had a very nice time. We ordered the Christina's pikilia with a variety of dips, dolmades and octopus. The dips had a nice flavour to them as did the dolmades. The octopus was tender and marinated with a zesty sauce. I'm not a fan of octopus... more

Overprice

Went there for a late lunch on a sunny sunday afternoon.
The calamaries were very good but it was the only thing which was worth the price we paid.
We were very well welcome at the entrance of the restaurant but after it was not the same level.

Patio on a Saturday afternoon

We decided to sit on the patio to have drinks and appetizers at this restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The appetizers were well portioned and reasonably priced. The drinks the same. We saw other people's meals coming out and saw excellent portion sizes too. We will definitely be back for dinner, and hope we're just as pleased with it! I... more

Highly Recommend

For our special occasion we chose Christina's after seeking other places to dine. This place came high recommended by other friends. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed a wonderful meal..the kalamari is a must along with the juicy Ontario lambchops. We received excellent service by a very friendly server. The place was very busy and overall they do a great... more

Best Greek Experience

A large group of us went to Christina's for Greek food on Saturday night. The place was packed and that says everything. We had a nice table indoors because it was very hot to sit outside. Our server was very friendly and profesional while dealing with our several demands. We began with Christina's dip platter, a combination of hot and... more

Great Food and Great Outdoor Seating

Try the squid and the cocktail "Med" for a great meal. Our server was helpful and charming. Hope to return in the future!

Avoid

We went there a late Saturday night, for a very late dinner and couple of drinks. Service was relatively fast, drinks were good but the food was average, and that is a push; definitely overpriced. I will pass the next time around. Unfortunately this is the second time this year when we try a greek restaurant in the Pape area,... more

Bad choice. Go Elsewhere

Its been a while since I was at Christina's. The last time I was there with colleagues I came away unimpressed with the management. I was told there had been a change and decided to give Christina's another chance. Don't think there has been any change. The service is poor, the senior people are rude and the food was, to... more

Maybe an off day but I wouldn't go back

We were there on Family Day, which seems to be an Ontario holiday. I think the place was unusually staffed and they also didn't have the heat very high since they probably didn't expect much business. But to me if you're going to be open then put your best foot forward.
First they tried to seat next to the door... more

Terrible place

We decided to book this place for our Grandma birthday ... That was the biggest mistake ... Our friends recomend us this place. But ... First time we saw so bad service at Toronto's restaurant. Food was ok but nothing special. No space to move, no space to seat normal ... And stuff fogot that was our birthday reservation !!!... more

Most fantastic night

Our friends reccomended this place a while back. We took their advice and checked it out for ourselves. The place was very busy that night and we got a nice table to view the entertainment. We ordered many appetizers and a large horiatiki. The kalamari was so crispy and well seasoned and the horiatiki had the best feta we ever... more

Not the greatest Greek on the Danforth

There were 3 of us, and we shared kalamari (I didn't like it because it was deep fried and greasy). I had stuffed lamb (OK, but nothing great). One friend had souvlaki and she enjoyed it. Another friend had the grilled chilean sea bass and said it was OK but nothing great.. Service was attentive, but a little pushy at... more

Great spot for real Greek food, one of the best on the Danforth

Especially a nice place to dine in the summer as they have a great patio. The Danforth Avenue has tons of Greek restaurant options and that is putting it mildly, that said there is a few that stand out and Christina's is one of them. We are not huge Greek food lovers, but from our personally experiences, Christina's is one... more

nice choice for the Danforth

This is a great Greek spot. Prices a little higher than others but worth it for a special occasion.

Best Greek Taverna in Toronto

We frequent Toronto a few times a year and Christina's is always the one spot that we visit when we're here for a weekend. We love the atmosphere as it is very warm, inviting and romantic. We always end up ordering Mezes (appetizers), calamari, horatiki salad, tiropita, octopus and saganaki (flaming greek cheese). The food is always great, but the... more

Good restaurant

I go along way back with this restaurant. It was the first Greek rest. I went to when I moved to Toronto. Then the owner went crazy and made everything a la cart. I stopped going. A few years ago I went back and they now do a traditional Greek plate again. I usually order the lamb chops. They have... more

A shame to the Greek restaurant community in Toronto

Disappointing service, waiter was rude, unprofessional and took our order wrong.
Lousy food. Sloppy, tasteless and dry lamb. Pasta seafood dish is like a heap of soggy grease. Chewy and blend grilled octopus.
Demeaning wait staff, making fun of us by talking in Greek.
A black spot in the Toronto Greek restaurant community. Its a shame that this place had... more

Enjoyed our visit, decent greek food, great atmosphere

My wife and I really enjoyed this restaurant. We love Greek food and I won't go so far as to say it was the best we've had but it was still very good. Great atmosphere and reasonably priced for the experience.

Terrible Food and Service at Inflated Prices

I decided to try this place after trying the fried calamari at Taste of Danforth. Poor judgement on my part.
Walked in and was acknowledged by the server that was on his way to deliver some food to the patio. Came back after his task and seated us inside but close to the patio.
We ordered the fried calamari to... more

Great live Greek music, mediocre food, terrible service

We went to Christina's for the first time in many years and were disappointed by the terrible service and mediocre food. After living in the neighborhood for over 10 years, we prefer other restaurants, but went because a group of friends was celebrating a special occasion, which was marred for us by Christina's shoddy service.
The first strike against the... more

Great Genuine Greek Food

Was recommended and truly enjoyed it. Were a party of 5 on a Tuesday evening and were immediately seated at a pleasant table. The restaurant was clean and the view of the kitchen on your way to the table left a good impression.
The fried calamari (nice and crispy), dolmates and dips with pita for starters were excellent. Christina’s grill... more

Day and place to remember....

Me and my friends we had a blast at Christina's.. by one of the best server ever.. his name if i remember...? is Cosadinos....Thank you for a Great Evening..

Excellent restaurant and nice food and atmosphere

We go there all the time, great food, nice music (friday and Saturday) and reasonable prices. highly recommended imad

The best greek restaurant

fantastic place to dine. The food and service was to die for.

Christina's on the Danforth

I like Greek food, so I was excited when I found out that all my friends would be meeting at Christina's for a late night get-together. From the moment I stepped into the building, I was delighted. From the beautifully painted walls to the music, this restaurant makes you feel like celebrating. And the food is fresh and delicious.

My partner and I decided to share some appetizers: the dolmades... more
