Reviews of Christos Greek Restaurant
Tasha Elle
We had a fine dinner at Christos. I'd like to talk about the star of our meal -- the rack of lamb. It was so tender, perfectly marbled, and well seasoned. I appreciated that we substituted the potatoes with carrots. Nicely priced for the portion of meat and vegetables they serve. The chicken liver entree was well above my expectations since I'm not a chicken liver fan. It was pretty tasty. I wasn't a big fan of the flaming cheese and the octopus was a little chewy. Still enjoyable. Our service was good and I like how spacious and bright the restaurant was. Definitely going back for another round of lamb.

Here is the best greek restaurant and one of the best Mediterranean. If someone asks me where to try best Mediterranean, Greek, Turkish type of cuisine here is there. Octopus both cold and warm appetizer is great. Calamari, shrimp skewers, gyros and all others I tried, nothing disappointed me as originally coming from that region. The only missing thing is ouzo which I understand due to the liquor license. I always forget to take picture as directly jumping into food!

Staff were super friendly and made me feel at home upon entering. I ordered the warm octopus and the Spanikopita. The octopus was so good. It was big chunks stewed in a tomato sauce. Yummy! This is the best Spanikopita in Minneapolis. So light and flaky with a wonderfully creamy center. Everything was perfectly seasoned. My server was amazing. Suck a sweet lady. I wish I could remember her name. Can't wait to try other items on the menu.

This is our favorite restaurant for super special occasions and we don't mind to drive 20 miles to get there because it' s worth it every time! Taverna platter comes with pita bread, octopus (always tender and juicy), feta cheese, tomatoes, delicious hummus and a cream of eggplants. I love the seabass plate. Fish is incredibly fresh and tasty and it comes with rice pilaf. We also tried the beef kebab and it was amazing. All entrees come with either a soup or a salad of your choice. If you like fresh Mediterranean food, you must try this place!
Jonathan
Finally found a Greek restaurant here in the Twin Cities although in a serendipitous manner after trying to check out Pennisula.
The food was prepared well. The warm octopus starter was in a tomato sauce which could stand out on its own. The avgolemono soup had a velvety consistency with sourness from the lemons. The oregano chicken was the highlight of the meal. It was well worth the 40 minutes (as specified in the menu cooking time wise)
Tiffany Rupp
A traditional Greek salad consists of tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onion, feta, and sometimes capers. You will find that here along with a delectable spanikopita that melts in your mouth but also has the perfect amount of crunch in the phyllo dough. The kids wanted hamburgers *rolls eyes* but surprisingly they were great! Not to mention the piping hot delicious steak fries. thing they're missing is dakos. The service is homey and all the staff are very nice.
They should partner with The Olive Temple for olive oil.
Preston Palmer
Pleasant service, friendly staff and EXCELLENT food. The Tabouli salad was the best I’ve ever had. I’ll be back for sure.
Andy M
We had a delicious meal! I’ve been to Greece 4 times and this food was super comparable and authentic like the real thing! Mai-Brit did a fantastic job as our server! 100% would recommend!
Maggie81
So nice to dine again at Christos. Our waiter Jason was so helpful on suggestions for wines and appetizers. We ordered the dip sampler. It was excellent. Loved the flavors of each one.
We ordered the Greek wine called Kourtaki. It was very good. For our main course we both enjoyed the Gyros Dinner. Another favorite choice. All the delicious Greek seasonings. Christos is clean, spacious, and excellent service. The owner at the end of our meal came over to us and asked us how everything was. Which we appreciated his interest in our feed back.
We highly recommend Christos to everyone who enjoys great food and service. Thank you for all your wonderful service. Looking forward to our next visit.
Ed Vine
Absolutely excellent, both for food & service. We're only occasional visitors to Minneapolis so this was our first time at Christos, but our hosts have been eating here regularly over many years & say that it's always been this good. Something for everyone on the menu.
Dave Miller
This place is authentic! The atmosphere is nice and subtle. The service was exceptional. And the owner even accommodated our needs that evening.
Oh, and the food was phenomenal! Get the soups, they are made from scratch awesome.
Jeanne LaBore
The best Greek food in the Twin Cities. Fresh homemade pita! Mmmmmmm. AND I can hear my companion speak. Low noise levels and good acoustics. Reasonable serving sizes. Reasonable prices. Best restaurant in the Twin Cities. I'll be going back.
Victor
I've been going to Christos for 35? Years. The food is always excellent. The avgolemono, (lemon rice soup), is fantastic, almost as good as the tomato-badil soup. The lunch specials are crazy good and the evening meals are incredibly delicious. I have never had better hummus, so plan on ordering it with plenty of pita or the Village Salad. If you love ethnic food, stop here. Make sure to say hi to the owner, Gus. Good guy.
Daniel Anzanello
This place has been the standard bearer for Greek food in Minnesota for over 30 years. Glad to see they have not skipped a beat. Try any of the kebabs, you'll love them
Also, if you have celiac or are otherwise gluten sensitive they have a dedicated menu and knowledge staff to help you navigate the offerings
Vikki LePou
The owner came over and recommended the best way to order and share. Everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the fresh warm pita bread, soup and appetizer medley
Rebecca Fishman
I've been coming to Christos for over 5 years now and have never had a bad experience. The staff is also so great and the food is phenomenal. It is my go to place to bring out of state guests. Cannot recommend it enough!
La Cacciatrice
One of my favorite all time restaurants. Everything is delicious! I’ve been here dozens of times! The owner knows me by name. Spanakopita is excellent as is the Greek salad and Baklava. Great service.
Gaurangna Madan
Food was decent, mention to the feta used in all the dishes. Loved the chocolate mousse, honestly the highlight of the menu. Would go back just to get it again!
Coyote 50
Christos has the best Shrimp Mykonos in the city. Their dishes are authentic and always good and the waitstaff is attentive. You can never go wrong there.
Eric Schmid
Christos is simply a wonderful spot -- refreshingly authentic and delicious all across the board.
We ordered the Manitaria, Saganaki, Phyllo daily special, and Tavas. Each dish was extremely flavorful and well balanced. Service was laid back and welcoming.
Favorite Greek spot in the cities!
Jalilia Abdul-Brown
Best Authentic Greek Restaurant in Minneapolis and Minnesota. Service is great, prices are good, lamb chops are excellent and salad is fresh. If you live in Minneapolis and haven't eaten at Christos Greek Restaurant, you are missing a real treat!
Andrew Vernon
We had a larger group go for lunch, some of whom are picky (or less adventurous?) eaters. Everyone found a meal that they enjoyed -- it really was delicious. I felt that the service was attentive, but not overly so. It was relatively busy, but the noise level didn't get too loud. (It might be difficult tomhear in a larger group, however.) A very nice dining experience.
Thomas Albinson
I got the gyro lunch pita. Their homemade tzatziki is the best in town. The flavors of the beef/lamb is authentic. The portion is generous - especially when considering the price (under $10 with fries and a side soup or salad). A friend got the pork souvlaki pita and said it was excellent. We got an appetizer of koupepia (lamb/beef in rice wrapped in a grape leaf). It was good too (though I am partial to a version of this from Iraq). Service was professional and engaging. The ambiance is casual/informal making it a great meeting spot. Free parking next to the restaurant is a big plus in the city as well. I’ll be back. I recommend giving it a try next time you’re craving Greek food!
Ceecee Vette
Great service from the nice lady when you first walk through door to my great waitress. I had the lamb shank and it was so tender and well seasoned! I will be a returning customer!!
Aaron Bogott
Had a wonderful afternoon meal here with the family. They even had some really nice gluten-free items. The wait staff was very friendly and the food was simply delicious. The hummus light and delicious and the pitas are addicting. I enjoyed the Gyros plate which came with huge fries. The soup of the day was a cream of carrot, so tasty. The salads before the meal came out really fresh and the dressings were scrumptious. You can't go wrong with this Greek restaurant. The next best thing to being in Greece. I know, I've been there.
Kara Rheingans
Lovely Place...Most Def for Greek Food. Staff very friendly, atmosphere wonderfully comfortable and makes you feel at home. They would have FIVE Stars if they made their own bread and I prefer chunky vs. creamed soups, otherwise at this point I am considering it my go to place for sit down Greek.
Aaron Kibben
Their spinach artichoke dip ruined all others for me. So fkn good. Excellent service, even better food.
Zoe Louise
Best restaurant ive ever been to, my family has been taking me since birth and its still my favorite to date
Rhodaline Escala-Phelps
My husband and i love going to this place. The food is great and the staff are friendly :) My favorite are their soups while my husband loves their kebabs
Nian Liu
Exceptional experience of food and service! Everything is so flavorful and perfect! Their soups are all very good. I ordered the shrimp kebab with pilaf and veggie, it's SOOO GOOOOD! I didn't know rice can be so flavorful , lol. Also our server is super, perfect amount of friendliness, attentiveness . We also ordered 3 deserts, I particularly recommend cherry pie and ice cream tarte , absolutely wonderful!
Ron Caplinger
We are biased since this was our first date location. Food is always great, saganaki is slightly crunchy around the edges and full of flavor. Pastitsio's bèchamel sauce is superb. And they put it on the mousaka!
Service has always been excellent and wait staff check in frequently enough to be helpful, but not hovering.
Michael Freeman
This dessert with cherries and cream on it makes it impossible to suggest another option there is nothing like this in the desert menu. All the other things sound great to don't get me wrong but it's normally supposed to have apples and cheese I think. I'm not sure how many of you have gone here a year or two ago but it is a whole different place high quality staff high quality cooking I went there for lunch so they had different specials and I have the special at the time again this thing was amazing but this desert is on the menu I won't even say you should try it I would say adjust your calorie intake so it's a part of your meal truly amazing.
Joseph Gamache
Great food, great atmosphere, and affordable prices. The kitchen can be a little slow during lunchtime, but the front-of-house service is very attentive. Great choice if you have the time for it. I'll cerainly be coming back soon.
Ted Blumberg
Best Greek in the Twin Cities, as it has been for many years. The dip sampler appetizer not only has great dips but comes with the best pita in the metro. Everything tastes homemade. The carrots that come with a number of dishes have a dill butter flavor that rivals anything you'd cook at home. Gus, the owner, is often present and always personable. Worth a drive across the city if Greek is what you seek.
Matthew Standland
The beer selection was pretty good. I liked how friendly everyone was and the sea bass and asparagus was really tasty 😋 …
Thomas Nelson
7/27/22 Update: Another great experience! I'm not sure what changed, but it somehow got better. The timing prior to the last visit was always a bit off. Normally their was a long wait time between the salad and appetizers, and your main entrees. This time the flow was perfectly timed. Amazingly, somehow the food was even better than before. They have upped their game, and if you want a dinner with great food and great service, you will make it your next dining option.
I have always had a rather pleasurable experience when visiting. Excellent service with smiles and willingness to help, well proportioned meal served hot and fresh, and treated like family the whole time. As stated above the food is fresh, so be prepared to have some wait time when you order. The only fault I have ever been able to find, is their chairs. While being quite sturdy, they are horrifically uncomfortable.
Ed Vine
Fabulous Greek restaurant. Our first time there but the people that we went with live locally, eat there often, & say that it's consistently excellent, & friendly.
JLC
Good food. Very good service and reasonable price. Solid Moussaka.
Todd Reed
Absolutely loved this place. We were looking for a nice evening out while we were in town, and I'm so happy we found Christo's. We shared The Iliad, and everything on the plate was gorgeous and scrumptious!! Good service and a nice atmosphere.
tim seldal
Amazing & unique food! Wonderful staff.
We have eaten here twice now and love it!! Such unique & different combinations of food and ingredients. Diverse menu. Things you think wouldn't work together are actually delicious!! Homemade everything! Pricing is very reasonable considering what you get! We experienced wonderful flavors that we have never experienced anywhere else.
We will coming back!
Greg Broburg
Reliable restaurant. Good food, good service. A regular Sunday dinner spot for family and friends.
Allison Coyle
Very welcomeing and prompt service. My glass we never empty. Abousultly amazing gyros, and even got a side and soup for a great price! They were happy to accommodate my dietary needs. I can't wait to go back to visit again.
Ross Schwartz
I got to try this out with my partner on a weekend trip to Minneapolis. I enjoyed the gyros entree as well as the salad and fries that were part of it. The portion sizes were great and filling; I easily had leftovers for the next day. The service was also fast and friendly.
Deanna DiCristo Jackson
Christos catered our son's graduation party. The food was fantastic as was the ease of setup, delivery and tear down. They were so helpful in providing their expertise and experience in estimating the exact quantities of food based on the number of invites sent and expected guests. People afterwards RAVED about the food. It was a compete success. Thank you to Mohamed, Gus, and the whole Christos team.
Sandy Waterman
I am a regular. One of my favorite places in the Twin Cities. Wonderful Greek food, and the owners and the help are friendly and welcoming. Try the 13 Celsius white wine!
Amber Bouret
Our server was awesome! They were packed and still were able to get us a table and keep up great service and food!
fitolit
This is a classic American Greek restaurant, with good choice of traditional food, some Greek wine and beer, hospitality, and prices that will not make it feel expensive. Fir vegetarians or fasting Orthodox Christians they have a good selection of foods.
Joe Rongish
Best meal we had in the Twin Cities. Incredible food and great service.
Caryn Sipari
The food was great, waitress was wonderful and I'd go there again. We had a party of 6 and everyone enjoyed themselves. Brought a cake in for a birthday and they didn't have a problem serving it to us. Food prices weren't to bad and it was half price on wine. Didn't matter if you bought the bottle or a glass.
Tonii G
If you are looking for a warm home style food for the family this is the place. We used to eat inside and it’s a great atmosphere but lately we have been doing a pickup order and order on the phone and they are ALWAYS the absolute sweetest, they do their job very well and have manners. I am always left full and happy after eating. You get a big portion and alot of good food for the price you pay. It’s all worth it.
Thanks
Andrew Weisz
I fall asleep dreaming about their hummus... it was hands down the best Greek food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I was absolutely blown away and make it a mission to go back next time I'm in the cities. A definite must!
MyRose1Gemini
This is one of my aunts favorites places to eat. love their fresh homemade pita bread.
April Lutz
Celebrated a birthday here, they did amazing with our group and the food was so delicious! You must get the dip sampler for an appetizer and the baklava was best I’ve ever tasted!
Godfrey Ongpe
Great value for money. The gyros are fantastic, and so is the manitaria. Go for their platters for better value and variety!
Malea Stenzel Gilligan
Amazing lunch specials- glad to see this place in business and thriving.
Connie Olson
We have always loved Christos. Their food is always quality and delicious. We took some out of town friends there for dinner last Sunday evening. One of our friends has a serious citrus allergy. The server and owner were amazing and spent a lot of time and checking to find an entree that was safe for him to eat. They were so gracious. Everyone enjoyed their dinner.
Andrea
Growing up with a Greek father and grandparents from Greece I love when I can go to a restaurant with such authentic flavors reminiscent of days past! The avgolemeno soup was the thing of memories as was the rest of the meal! We also had an amazing waiter who was friendly and engaging, willing to offer his opinion when asked.. Thanks for providing such a great experience!
Aaron James
Friendly, family owned business. Very good food. Excellent atmosphere. The place was packed at lunch with upscale people, denoting the fine quality of every aspect of this restaurant.
Patrick Kelly
Nice space and friendly service. The Pastitsio I had was good but I chose roasted potatoes which was a mistake. Very little flavor.
jill floden
Fantastic meal with the family for lunch.
The textures, flavor and presentation were great.
Naomi Williams
Me and my daughter were looking for Greek places near by and this place just happens to be 4 min away. We walked in and at first the ambience caught me off guard because it's homey and a full sit down restaurant. I ordered a simple cheeseburger for my daughter and a gyro for me and my bf. Got home....and when I tell you I've never eaten an entire gyro that fast. It was delicious. Simple and full of flavor. First time here and according to my daughter her burger was bussin bussin. I don't know who finished first. I never even saw her burger because I couldn't even look up from my gyro. Definitely will be going back to enjoy the whole experience 100% satisfied
Ryan A
I get the combination everytime and it’s great everytime. My parents love it here too. Staff are great
David Stevens
Friendly service. Yummy food. We had vegetarians and non-vegetarians and everyone enjoyed their meal. Hard part was deciding what to order, so many good choices.
Beth
This was place was just wonderful. So homey feeling and the food was incredible. My partner had gyros and I had the tyropita. We only wish we had had room for baklava!
Negma Farah
If you don’t get the lamb, you really didn’t try the best thing on the menu.
L
This place was amazing. I don’t typically go to Greek restaurants but this place might have changed my mind. Their calamari was decent. But the winner by far was the milopita. You HAVE to get it.
The service was excellent. The restaurant was large enough to feel safe eating indoors.
Jacquelyn Fay
super airy and loads of plants everywhere!!
best food I've had in a long time
Daniel Picard
This is a family-run Greek restaurant located on "Eat Street" in Minneapolis.
The menu has many varied classics to choose from, and everything we ordered was tasty!
The service was on the slower side but very friendly.
The pricing was slightly higher than I thought it should be.... But nothing too crazy. Expect around $15-25 per person overall.
phoebe m
Everything our group ordered was good! Will recommend this place for sure!
Amy Hollerud
I love this restaurant! I don't live nearby and it's a PIA to get to but it's all worth it for me. I've loved everything I ordered! My last 2 orders were to-go and they were fast, packages well (no spills on the ride home) and with a little help everything was still warm by the time I got home. The restaurant's entry space is big enough I didn't feel uncomfortable being inside while waiting. They are open for pickup, in-person dining and offer delivery via a third-party as of 2/20/21.
Josh Halliday
Great food!! Simply the best Greek food in the city.
Dan Wright
Unbelievably delicious! Amazing service, outstanding dishes and a lovely time. We shared a lot of dishes and they were all perfect. Since almost everything is made there it was fresh and unforgettable. My dinner at Christos topped a great weekend of food in Minneapolis.
Annabell Ekelof
Love the food, atmosphere and the staff!! Such an amazing experience, and Laura was such a delightful server. We ordered the Octopudi, Artichoke dip, Chicken Ke Bab, Gyros platter and was super happy they had the Seabass back on the menu. We left with full bellies and smiles.
Erik Stone
Best Greek restaurant in MPLS. I go for the food, but the ambiance is also wonderful.
Nic Beavers
My wife and I went here and had a great time. All the food was incredible, especially the saganaki. The service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely be back here!
Lin Brown
We had the Iliad for two. A good sampler platter and the baklava was small but delicious.
Jeff E
Enjoyable dining experience. Really, the biggest complaint is the chairs are not very comfortable. Next time I go, may bring my own cushion, especially for the back.
The food was delightful, as was the service. I went because I had been craving saganaki for a couple of weeks, and Christo's did not disappoint. I did have a hard time choosing an entree and settle for a special of the day, spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast in phyllo. It was delicious.
Andy Aldrich, DDS
Amazing experience. We had the carrot dill soup, gyro salad, and falafel appetizer. Our server, Laura, made amazing recommendations and was honestly so sweet. 10000/10 would recommend and will absolutely be going again.
Audrey Winsor
This place is both classy and warm. It's got a great vibe for business brunches, and quite family dinners. The food was fantastic and very authentic! The servers were super helpful and very friendly. This would be a great place to take a more serious date.
Krista Murphy
The food and service were absolutely amazing! Definitely will be back and already know what I intend to try next time. I highly recommend trying the tomato basil soup, this may be my new favorite 0lace for it
Andrew Meggs
We had a great time at Christos! I was frankly shocked at how good the food was, the gyro was perfectly cooked and flavorful, the lam was so delicious, and the service was some of the best I've ever had. I would definitely recommend.
Jill Dalton
First time here, the food was great and the service perfect!!
Jennifer
Our server was amazing! She was attentive, warm and provided great service.
The Greek salad was delicious with the dressing and feta being the best parts.
Also delicious was the hummus appetizer.
I ordered the falafel and was slightly disappointed and hence my review being 4 star instead of 5. It wasn’t bad, but I’ve had better at other Minneapolis restaurants.
Todd Bakken
Per MN government order it is takeout only. That said it's fantastic. I had their Gyro lunch with the chowder. Everything was great. The Gyro was almost all meat with a few red onions and tomato slices. They put the tzatziki on the side and give you a good portion. The first time I ate here I have their side salad which was phenomenal. Their fisherman's chowder is equally good.
Erik Larson
A hidden gem in Minneapolis. You won’t find a better meal at an affordable price than at Christos. I’ve now been here twice and have gotten lamb shank and tavas, respectively. Both were super good. I’d put up the lamb shank with just about anywhere else. In fact, I find it to be better than the top restaurant in Vail, CO. It’s also half the price! Next time, you’re on Eat Street. Be sure to check out Christos.
Holley Van Susteren
The lamb is dry, and the pastitsio is flavorless.
Their staffing tends to be good, but everyone had their off day every once in a while.
If the seafood soup is on the menu, you should get it. The base is like a chicken dumpling broth but if you're lucky it will have whole chunks of salmon. If you're unlucky... It will mostly just be broth with a couple of potatoes. I'd say it's 50/50 on either option, but worth the coin toss.
The house salad is excellent.
If you're hungry, I'd suggest the beef kabob and the dip sampler. Still hungry? The chocolate mousse is a good choice.
Gyro sandwich is a good choice, but the gyro plate is gigantic.
My mother in-law got the appetizer of mussels as a meal because the portion was so generous.
Andrew Phelps
Delicious food, nice atmosphere, really nice people every time. One of our favorite places for a nice light lunch.
Definitely needs to add a Giannis jersey and/or some pictures of Giannis inside though!
Rhonda Foster
This sampler plate gave each of us the opportunity to taste multiple menu items. 1 plate will be enough for 4 people.
Great food, nice atmosphere.
Rob Farrow
Met some friends, awesome looking place! I unfortunately did not order anything, so I have no honest opinion about the food. BUT again the lace was very nice inside
Sue Ann Daley-Mathieu
Food was excellent but even better was our server. She said she only recently started but she was just delightful!! Stuffed grape leaves were great! Flaming cheese fantastic! Tabuli delicious! We had a great table so we could hear each other and chat! A splendid evening
Craig Jarrell (Deacon Anthony)
Still our favorite place after 21 yrs of marriage. Ashley and the folks here are always friendly and professional. The food, THE FOOD! It's always scrumptious! I had the Kotopolous which was tender and juicy with a yummy and flavorful mushroom and wine gravy sauce. The pilaf was buttery & fluffy and not oily or greasy at all. The oregano wings were crunchy and tangy with lemon and oregano. The milopitas tasted sweeter and better than the Apple from the Tree of Life.
Jeremy Burns
Award winning Greek food in the twin cities. The menu is varied and authentic. The flavors and textures and presentation is done very well. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. The prices are reasonable and the portions ample.
Mara
Absolutely beautiful tabouli, the lunch gyro with fries is enough to feed 2 of me, and the nutmeg custard dessert is literally one of the best things I have ever tasted. My partner got the baklava and that looked just as beautiful.
Brian Isles
Wow. My wife and I went here on a whim for dinner on a random Monday and had one of the better meals I've had in recent memory. We had an INCREDIBLY friendly waitress who was attentive, fun, and helpful. We shared a sampler platter that was outstanding! If you visit this place with a friend, do yourself a favor and order The Iliad. It's totally worth it!
Jethra Kapp
Delicious! I always get the vegetarian sampler with the spanikopita and falafel. It comes with tabouli. Christos hummus is excellent too!
Amy Jarrell
They have the BEST food. Always. And some of the best service in the Cities -consistently excellent. My husband had the salmon, which is one of our favorite dishes. There are so few places that make good seafood and Christos makes some of the best. Desserts are always lovely too. And the soups! Amazing soups, though I am addicted to the tomato basil feta. I can't say enough good about this place.
Steve T
We have been fairly regular customers at Christos over the past 10 or so years and the food as well as the service is always excellent. They have been able to adapt during the pandemic and are still just as great as they have always been. We will continue to be regular customers.
Scott Seal
Gus is the owner. He's there everyday, and has been for some 25 years. Post pandemic restaurant food generally is not very good, but at Christos, it's as good as it ever was, because Gus is there.
Julie Mai
Fantastic dinner with family before going to a show. Our waitress was incredibly consiencious about getting us a wonderful meal AND ensuring that we were finished with time to drive to the theater.
Megan Smith
Great and authentic Greek food! Fantastic ambiance that sets me back to being on the Plaka in Athens! When I need a reminder of my time in Greece, this is my favorite place!
Sammer Elkhateeb
This place has absolutely delicious food, without all the fuss and fanfare. On the higher end is the lamb shank, which is phenomenal. I’m not prone to ordering gyros at restaurants but there sandwiches are delicious.. the gyro is fresh, and not greasy whatsoever. For me, a must is the rice pudding with cinnamon and yellow raisins. I’ve been in bed and fantasized about it — only to find that they typically close at 9pm(maybe it’s only during the week..not sure). The staff is friendly, especially the manager..whose been there as long as I’ve been going there..which is many years.
*Edit: after writing this I took a minute to read the one star reviews. I’m actually shocked that multiple people mention the manager, and one even mentioned the lamb shank. I just don’t get it..
Jill Johnson
Good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff, and free off street parking.
Peter Wilczek
We ordered pretty much our entire Easter meal for 12 this year from Christos and what a fantastic experience! My wife worked with Gus on the menu and quantity. We picked up our order promptly at 11 am Easter Sunday morning What a success! The food was superb and there was plenty of it. Service-excellent, Price-very fair! I would and will order from Christos again. Thank you!
Brian Dall
Great Greek food, good prices, super service. To be honest we usually order the gyros dinners and maybe an appetizer, so we haven't tried very many different entrees, only a couple. But everything has been very, very good. We ate at the restaurant today, but we've gotten a large take out order in the past, and it has all been great.
Lindsay Sandin
Been going here for about 15 years as tradition for mother's day, birthdays, any excuse. Food has been DELICIOUS consistently that entire time and the prices are super reasonable. The staff know and recognize us and are always very friendly, great service to all. Can get busy in weekends, good to call ahead. You can't make a bad selection from their menus. Award winning for a reason.
Average JoJo
Surprising amount of quality for how cheap the food is. If you've never had Greek, this is a good start, and if you're with a group and you want something safe, they make a mean burger. Good amount of vegetarian/vegan options too. Overall great place, as is the standard on Nicolette.

Authentic Greek food with a wide variety of choices on the menu, in a tastefully decorated venue. It's only chic but casual and the food is delicious. Service is good and the servers are friendly and efficient. And of course, anything with phylo in it is to die for. The daily specials are interesting and varied. Highly recommended.
Laurie Murray
First, the food is delicious and the waitstaff is wonderful, engaging, and doing an amazing job. I realize and appreciate that the state has recently allowed for indoor dining, and restaurants are getting their sea legs back . This evening I felt like I was dining in a cafeteria . The ambiance is dead, and I almost fell asleep. I feel they need to be playing Greek music softly , but festive. I also feel that they should be bagging their pick up and delivery packages in the back of the house and not in the dining area. Again, I know we are all trying to find our way back to pre Covid , but maybe these suggestions can help. We will definitely be coming back , we have been patronizing your restaurant for 15yrs plus.
Tom Yazzie
Excellent food and service! We will be back..we were amazed that the service and the food too.
Andy Wicevic
Loved the atmosphere, cleanliness & food. The service was excellent & friendly. Would definitely recommend & re-visit.
Todd Downing
Great food! Great, friendly staff.
Laura Halseth
Christos is amazing!!!! The Dip sampler and Saganaki are my favorite appetizers. The Chicken Salad is a wonderful lunch choice. Some of my favorite dinner selections are the Lamb Shank... The Rack of Lamb... Or one of their wonderfully prepared fish entrees. Save room for dessert. The Baklava... Milopata... And imIce Cream Torte are all must haves.
Alek Georgeson
Good food! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! I ordered the feta soup and gyro hash. The pita bread was warm and delicious, as was the gyro I helped finish. Would definitely dine in again.

We started going to Chistos when the pandemic recovery started. At that time, we were displaced from our house due to reconstruction and decided to stay DT Mpls. Chistos, unlike other restaurants, were open and accepting reservations.
So glad it was. We've been back 4 times in past 2 months. Everything has amazingly authentic flavor. Portions are large while price is affordable. GREAT combination for all!
Above all, the people that work there are the nicest you'll ever find. I left my credit card and they were able to some how find my phone number alerting me that I forgot it. Of course, I picked it up the following day but when I returned a few weeks later I was greeted with, "Hello Mr. Case ...Welcome back."
In these days of tough time and limited interaction, it was incredibly refreshing to have such a warm reception. Somethings never go out of style.
I'll keep referring and personally escorting friends to my new favorite spot. Wishing the Chistos staff my best in 2021
Samuel Webster
Longtime favorite for gyros in the city. They are a delicious take out spot or if you prefer dine in restaurant. Parking is a bit tricky but they do have a lot you can use. Price point is actually less expensive than McDonald's for feeding two people. Highly recommend
David Pittman
My spouse and I and another couple shared dinner at Christos on a Saturday evening. The place was busy but we were seated promptly. I started with a cup of hot tomato soup flavored with feta, which was very good after I added an ice cube. My main course was a chicken breast and spinach baked in filo pastry, which I chose because I had never seen it before. It was excellent. I heartily recommend Christos to lovers of Greek food.
Roshan Rajkumar
Great Greek food. Quality service. Priced reasonably with good portions. OpenTable reservation for 7 worked perfectly. No fuss no hassle to celebrate on Father's Day either. Worth a visit and nice to have access to free parking lot on Eat Street too.
John Sedler
Hands down the best Greek around! Everything is fresh! They had two locations and had to close down one of them over the past year. They offer dine in and take out. Worth any drive or traffic! Must try!
Lilly Mpls
This is the best place to go for authentic Greek food. It’s my favorite, I’d eat here everyday if I could. It’s also inexpensive and a terrific dining experience. Try it, it just maybe your new favorite!
Aaron Fischbach
Great authentuc Greek food as always. Great service too. We've been patrons of this location and the former MN 7 ovation for 30+ years.
Christin R. Tackett
The best Greek food in MPLS! Make sure to order the tomato basil soup as well as a Greek salad. Many vegetarian offerings. For meat eaters, try the gyro salad. A weekly lunch spot for me when I worked in the area before Covid. Recommend!
Doug Briggs
Wife and I were staying in Minneapolis for a weekend getaway. Just happen to have a sudden craving for Greek food. Christos did not disappoint. Very reasonable in pricing. Wait staff was very friendly and whoever was in the kitchen knew what they were doing. Food was outstanding. We plan on making this a yearly trip and I can promise you I will be back. Phenomenal environment and outstanding eating.
Jennie Skancke
The perfect take-out! The food was amazing, the app portions were perfect for one, I'd imagine the full portions to be shareable. And I appreciate that there was not a bit of plastic in the whole thing, all compostable. So quick and easy. I'll be back!
Jennie Schwochert
We ordered takeout from them tonight and everything was great! I had never had koupepia, wow! We had the warm appetizer sampler and everything was delicious! I will definitely go again
Lori Pederson
We decided to try Greek food at Cristos. We were surprised at the really nicely done interior since the exterior was a bit blah, so don't let that dissuade you. We liked our meal. Our waiter was nice, friendly and helpful. He suggested a cherry pie for dessert with a very persuasive description. We were not disappointed! This pie is heaven and you should ask for it. It's not a regular menu item yet.
Leah Lambart
Delicious Greek food. I don't get to experience Greek food all that often, so this is a favorite stop when we can find time in the area. The flaming cheese is a big hit with the kids. I like that I have plenty of vegetarian options that are delicious.
Caleb
I was a regular here (weekly) when I lived within walking distance and it's the only thing I miss about my old apartment. I'm pretty lame and got the same thing (gyro sandwich) just about every time I went. That being said, there was no reason for me to ever change with gyros THAT GOOD. Wow, the meat is superb, the pitas were always on point, and the sauce was heavenly. Plus, the price is great on everything in the menu.
Kyle Schroeckenthaler
Octopus app was overcooked but all our entrees were solid and the prices are great. They seemed a little short staffed. But everyone is these days and they seemed to hold up.
Ashley Reeves
The food here was fantastic! It exceeded my expectations by far. It was a nice date night with my husband. Quiet and romantic and the food did not disappoint! Will definitely be back!
Greg Hager
I've been to this restaurant two times. Both times were outstanding dining experiences.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the flavors are wonderful. It really does taste like authentic Greek food.
Daniella Chavez
Ate here last night, best rack of lamb ever. And our server, Laura was amazing. It was so amazing I brought my mom back today!
Emily G Boustani Haddon
Amazing place!! Had a lovely dinner there with my family, clean establishment, welcoming staff, the food was quick to come out and didn't disappoint! Highly recommended :)
Angela Versalles
Not sure where a 1 or two star rating review is coming from... Those of you that scored Christos low, must be on something. Christos is delicious! I have never experienced bad service or food ever! I have been dinning at Christos for over 15 years. The lunch specials are amazingly priced for the amount and quality of food you are served. The staff are all very knowledgeable about each menu item in the event you have a question regarding how a dish is prepared. Love this place!
Alex Hummel
Delicious Greek restaurant. Very good service. I had the eggplant dish and spanakopita. Both were good, and the head a decent amount of vegetarian options. Also my grandfather approves so thats something.
Lauren Altschuler
I don't come often enough. Located on Eat Street at 26th and Nicollet. Casual atmosphere but with white table cloths and soft music make the atmosphere. Excellent service. Friendly and quiet. Ordered tomato soup with feta, chicken kabob with jasmine rice. Chicken was tender. Jasmine rice flavorful with gold raisins. Vegetables were perfect. My friend had cream of mushroom soup - lots of mushrooms, and combo plate of gyro, pork souvlaki and Tzatziki with perfect hand cut fries crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Finished with fresh baklava. Highly recommend.
Alison Lesperance
Very friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff. For an appetizer - get the Saganaki ~ Melted kasseri cheese flamed tableside with brandy. It's tasty and fun! I enjoyed my meal and the ambience of the place. Great food, good wine. You won't leave hungry.
Steve DeBroux
For two years in a row, our group of 16 was welcomed and served efficiently. The menu has a wide selection. Everyone in our group has commented that their meal was delicious. The atmosphere is not elegant, but there is a nice coziness to it.
Fake B’s Unite
The food was good had gyro and fries ... they are actually steak fries... gyro meat has good flavor and the cucumber sauce has dill it it... it was soooooo yummy.... service was fast got 2 orders in less then 15 mins.. lady at the front was very nice. Would go again and again
Israel Garcia
One of the best place's I have been. Food is fresh and delicious. Service is accommodating fast and friendly. The prices are reasonable for an authentic flavor. Sam was our waiter this evening and did an exceptional job assisting us in answering our questions and provided us great customer service.
Corwin Morton
It was different it was nice atmosphere and we had The young lady that served us kept checking on us every 10,15 minutes. As well as we had one of the chefs come out of the kitchen to see if everything was OK so nice atmosphere a little different
Teresa Catherson
There was very dirty shelving on the wall above/ he kitchen. I had these bass, it was kind of rubbery and watery, with barely any flavor. My companion had the beef kabob, he said the meat was very chewy. The service was mediocre.
Amanda Adams
Food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. Our server explained to us what everything was to us after we told he we were not familiar with Greek food. They really made us feel welcome.
Molly Miller
Fabulous feeling to have a meal here. Food is the best always and service was excellent.
Rohan D
Food was delicious and fresh tasting. It wasn't fancy but reminded me of homestyle Greek food I'd had at people's homes. The blue decor wasn't overdone and made it feel authentic. The price was cheap too which was a bonus. Definitely would be back .
Dan Berryman
10/10 food, every single time, seriously. Great service as well, but not a lot of people eating in these days :)
This is my favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities and I've been trying to order takeout as often as possible to support them!
So good.
Cierra Barnes
This is one of my favorite restaurants. The people showed great customer service support. The menu is in Greek I couldn't read it but one of the worker help me with it. Then there was a English language and Greek slide which made it even better understandable. Food was delicious. I ate here for a month. The 407 is bomb
Beth G Davis
Consistently yummy. Miss the Minnetonka restaurant but still find special occasions to drive into Minneapolis for dinner, dine in and/or take home.
Marc Radinzel
Always a good meal. Consistant and flavorful Greek cuisine. The hostess/manager appears aloof to me. I have never seen her so anything other than stand up front or retreat to the office. Staff has always been friendly and hard working - save for the hostess/manager type person.
Grandpa Steve
I love Christo's. My whole family does. We go to the Nicollet and Minitonka locations several times a year. Great food atmosphere and service. Had a party of 12 there tonight and it was a wonderful time. It was my 1 year old grandsons first time there and he ate samples of everything and loved it all.
Wendy C.
Went in with a friend on a Tuesday evening. Nice ambience. Friendly staff. Our server was very nice and assisted us with everything. We both had the acorn squash and apple soup, my friend had the kota sto phyllo and I had the mediterranean sea bass. We both split a bottle of wine. Everything was GREAT! And I was stuffed afterward. Will definitely be back!
Molly Coughlan
Yum yum yum! I loved my Crab Cake salad! So delicious, I got the tomato soup which just wasn't for me. But the fresh hummus and pita bread? TO DIE FOR!
Jason Kowieski
I'm not a vegetarian but went for the vegetarian plate because I was in the mood for falafel and spanakopita. Both were great. The exterior of the falafel was crispy while the inside was moist and had good texture (I hate when it's gummy or dry). Likewise, the philo outside of the spanakopita was crisp and flaky and the spinach filling was well done and flavorful. I'll definitely make my way back.
Derek Haubenschild
Really good food. I would have given it 5 stars, except for the last time I placed a to go order. I went in to pick it up and was greeted with a "Why would you order online??" I assume it was over the fact that I placed it with Bite Squad, which I'm sure costs them money. If that was the case, the same message could have been given in a more friendly way.
Amy Salloway
So delicious, filling and comforting! It's not easy to find places to eat out during the pandemic that feel safe, hygienic, compliant with social distancing and that are still a friendly, happy, relaxed and tasty experience...but this was all of that. Christo's is doing a bang-up job of serving their signature excellent and hearty Greek entrees (gyros, souvlaki, falafel, mousaka, kabobs, etc) with warmth and smiles, even as the world devolves into chaos and entropy. Go give them some business!
Ras Kafka
I should get here much more often than I do. I have never had anything here that fell short of perfect; for dinner or for lunch. Then you add a wonderfully pleasant staff and you end up with the perfect casual dinner date.
And it might not be obvious, but the lot on the far side of the same building (beyond the kids center) is for Christos' customers. So nice to hit Eat Street and not have to struggle for street parking.
Carl Hamm
We were disappointed to eat mediocre entrees after reading so many positive reviews. The lamb Tavas tasted like a beef stew you could make at home. My dining companion liked the shrimp in the Shrimp Myconos but not the vegetables and not the rice, which tasted of cinnamon. (She traveled to Greece this past summer and felt food at Christos was inauthentic.) On the positive side, the tomato basil soup and pita bread that came before our meal were both excellent. We arrived early (just before 5PM) and encountered friendly service and no wait. The food came quick as lightening, which you'd expect with only four diners in the restaurant.
Matt Schmidt
I ordered the Pork Chops Piperato and the seasoning was delicious. It reminded me of the pork chop on a stick at the Minnesota State Fair. I received two
thick juicy and properly cooked pork chops. It was a significant amount of protein for the money. It was served with potatoes that are simply prepared. If you get the salad as a appetizer I recommend upgrading to the Greek salad because they add Kalamata olives and other special ingredients to the salad as an upgrade. It is well worth it. Each meal is served with fresh hot soft and tender pita bread.
Robyn Miller
The food was amazing. The service was impecibal. The food was everything we wanted and more and my God, how amazing they were to be so willing to let us buy their Spanikopta to freeze and bring home. How could you not absolutely love this place.
Scott Hunter
I was a frequent customer in the late 80's an 90's but moved out of Minnesota for work. I try to make it over for dinner when home for visits. The food is still amazing. If you're not familiar with Greek food, try The Iliad sampler for two.
Nicole LeBlanc
Amazing food and service!
Mary Linstroth
Just got home with my takeout dinner and it is perfect . The food from Christos is always perfect but with take out, you’re expectations are not as high. Well, take out or dine in, the reputation lives on!
Thank you to all!
Cindy Wesley
The food is delicious, including traditional dishes like gyros. I think their baklava, which is homemade, is the freshest and best I've ever tasted!
Seliina_Bean
To die for. My friend and I were looking for somewhere to eat that was still open (was around 8pm) and we settled on Christos. Was so good I'll have to go back.
David Greenberg
I had regular moussaka and my wife had the vegetarian version and they were both tasty, the prices were reasonable, and the waitress was extremely friendly (not sure what her name was, but she had long, dark hair and wore glasses).
jom jim
The food and our server were exemplary. I docked the one star because the bathrooms were nothing to write home about and the music was Hispanic. Absolutely nothing wrong with that but I was in the mood for some Greek music instead
Anne Marie Griffin
We come to lunch here after church on Sundays. The dining room is big and there are usually 5 or 6 tables being used. The service is friendly and food is good, traditional, Greek favorites.
Nitszu
Awesome Greek restaurant. I have eaten here three times this year. It has been amazing all three times. The Fried Calamari is 🔥. …
Joseph Tietema
Hands down best place to get greek food in the twin cities. Their quality, quantity, and prices are the best I've seen at a Mediterranean restaurant in the twin cities. A must stop for anyone craving pita!
Tiffany Dreher
Christos has been a favorite for many years. So grateful that the Minneapolis location remains open after the St. Paul Deput location closed many years ago. We always look forward to the saganaki, the tomato basil soup with feta, and sharing the Illiad and Symposium plates. Enough variety for our family of four and leftovers for lunch the next day. We just went this evening to celebrate an anniversary, and the food and service especially was great!
jsalita1
I love this place I grew up going here with my parents and the staff is always warm and welcoming to us. The food has been consistently good over the years. Get the Saganaki app - the chicken in phyllo is so good (Kota Sto Phyllo)... all the food I've tried is good and top it off with Galatopoureko for dessert, yum!
Ben Mahoney
Great experience, wonderful food!
lars55404
Great food, the best salmon I've had. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.
Abby Meyer
AMAZING!! Christos is an authentic Greek experience that cannot be missed. PLUS, they have an extensive gluten free menu with knowledge staff!! Will definitely be back to this gem!
Tony Bauer
Christo's was good, but not nearly as good as most of the reviews make it sound. If you want a decent Greek meal at a reasonable price, go to Cristo's. However, if you want some real, authentic Greek, like one gets in Europe (we lived in Germany for nine years, so we've had plenty of good Greek - in Germany and Greece), this is not it. My wife and I both got sampler plates and liked 1/2 of what came with it. The gyros meat was the processed kind - not the nice layered pieces one gets of the spit at most restaurants in Greece. The foods just didn't have the flavor that we were used to.
It reminded my wife and I of the tourist-trap restaurants in Greece.
The service was very good and our wine was great
It wasn't bad, just not what we were hoping for, based on the reviews.
Avis Thomas
Excellent food, real tablecloths, surprisingly low prices given the good quality food. Quiet enough to carry on a conversation. Works well for large groups as well as individuals or small groups. Always a treat.
Mark Wagner
Authentic as it comes. Spanikopita is fresh handmade deliciousness. The baklava is a perfect way to end your meal.
Zaza Gomurashvili
Authentic and unique taste. Amazing service and prices. I wish I had the same restaurant in California.
Chris Chris
Best Greek in town, best Greek I've ever had <never been to greece> but 2nd to that I'm sure. Good people great food
Lisa Mari Arnold
Superb Authentic Greek Food and Desserts. We felt like we were at a Cafe in Greece…great atmosphere and Owners and Staff are Spectacular!
Jacob Borgmann
This place was great
Pricey but worth it.
Dont go there frequently on account of the cost but I still recall what I ordered.
So that's my best compliment,
Very memorable.
Good place to take your Hot Date before / after the movie
Good place to impress your in laws
I'll give it 6 Goldblums out of a possible 7 Goldblums!
Abby Cole
The server was friendly and knowledgeable. It was my first visit and I enjoyed it!!
K G
Love Christos. We've had nearly everything on the menu over the years, so good. They were even so sweet as to bring my takeout to me in front of the building when my boy's were babies.
Karl Dettmann
Calamari was exceptional, Moussaaka was delicious, but everything else was just ok.
JAMES Zyskowski
Great variety, we had 2 appetizers and shared main course. On Monday and Tuesday's bottles of wine are half price if main entree ordered.
Jack Freiermuth
The food was fantastic, the service was quick, and the prices were decent. I look forward to the next time I get to go there. The artichoke dip was that perfect salty cheesy flavor you dream of
Edgar Jimenez
Their food was amazing, and the variety staggering. Had a hard time deciding what to order since most of it looked great. And their dessert sealed the deal for me. Will come back for more.
C
This place is amazing the staff is great food is great pricing is great.
Len Washko
Love it. Koupepia perfect. Rack of lamb. Very good wine list. Charming atmosphere and lovely garden for dining. Put Christos on your list of go to favorites.
Kayla Warner
The first time I ate here, I had it two more times within a week. The food is amazing and there are so many good choices! It's a great location and I've never had a problem with the service.
Heidi B
Lovely local resturant. I always come back and have never been disappointed in service, food or atmosphere. I love going here and hope you'll be around for a very long time. Quaint neighborhood food.
Julia A
Great place! Delicious food, good drink selection plus a wine list, good service. Also has a parking lot right next to the restaurant, which is very conveniently for being it in uptown location.
Steve Backoff
Excellent food and great staff. If they recommend a dessert, get it.
MJH - VII
MY GOD THEIR CHICKEN, GYROS, WINE, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING. Bring me more of that tzatziki & pita bread! Went there for my birthday and they even brought me free baklava! Wonderful staff too!
Louis Cunningham
Gyro meat was luscious and full of flavor. The wine list is decently priced (lower than other places around! ). Substitute the salad on the entrees and skip the fries.
Thomas Powell
Food and the service are very good here.
DanninsQueen Young nolen
My favorite thing in the whole world 🌎 is the gyro salad with feta and a tomato 🍲 soup yummy I always get the same thing …
Josh “Troz” McCauley
This is one of my favorite restaurants on Eat Street. This place has the best soups I have ever had. All of the soups. Get 👏 The 👏 Soup 👏 …
Leah McDowell
We usually get take out here, the people who work here are so nice! The prices are average and the food is awesome! They have the best pita bread!
Randall Purcell
Delicious Greek cuisine and family feel. We usually get the Illiad so we can sample everything. Everything is done well in my opinion, with the Spanakopita being especially delightful. Crayons are available for children ages 1 to 100+.
Dawn Ryan
Staff is really friendly and make you feel like family. They have a great variety of food, and willing to modify. My family loves to come here.
DivaDelgado128
Oh. Am. Greek. Best Greek food in Minneapolis. The tzatziki sauce is super fresh and delish. And the chocolate mousse is the best I've ever had. Keep up the great work guys.
Andra St. Arnauld
I hadn't been to Christos in years. The food is still great!. Get the flaming cheese appetizer it's fun and delicious.
Linda Leduc
I chose to have dinner at Christos after reading the good reviews. My waitress receives five stars for being helpful and friendly. The restaurant interior reminded me of a Greek taverna and I give it four stars. Some Greek music would have upped that to five stars. Unfortunately the food didn't live up to the hype. I ordered the Symposium plate, which was a selection of spanakopita, dolmades and moussaka, over a bed of rice, and I chose the avgolemeno soup. The soup had an institutionalized taste heavy on the lemon and thickeners and light on the rice and nil on the chicken. The spanakopita was in a strange rolled shape that I never saw in 9 years living in Greece and was somewhat bland. The rice and dolmades were okay. The moussaka had little or no bechamel topping and instead just had some kind of tomato sauce over the top. The best part of the meal was the glass of retsina and the galactoboureko I had for dessert. On top of the horrendous parking I only give this three stars.
Aaron Hodge Silver
The food is great, the servers are nice, but don't go here if you've got somewhere else to go after. They take forEVER to bring out your food. I've had this experience multiple times.
Emily Grendahl
Great for couples, families with small children and large parties! Very authentic and happy atmosphere. My daughter (2yrs) loves the country pilaf. Small lot available for parking.
Jody
Gyro was great. Falafel was lousy. Overcooked, greasy, and tasted like rancid oil. Hummus good. Tsazicki good. Tabouli had too much parsley. It was a Saturday night and it was busy.
Troy Gaboyga
Wonderful dining experience & food. Everyone gets involved, chef, waiter/tress, hostess, to make sure you have whatever you need.
J.E. Madramootoo
Loved everything about this place. The waitress was great, the food was amazing. Can't wait to go back.
Terri Stanley
Great vegetarian mousaka, calamari, Greek salads, eggplant dip, spanikopita and fantastic service. And grandchildren loved the French fries. Great for vegetarians and those in wheelchairs.
Ron Hick
Great food. Great service.
Megan Bignell
Had an amazing dinner tonight! The Shis kabob with rice was the best I’ve ever had and our server, Jessica, was fantastic! The calamari was incredible!
Laura Orenstein
Great food! The vegetarian options are also very good. They do a great job of pickup during the pandemic, which is very much appreciated.
Bruce Pappas (Colglazier)
We love Christos for authentic Greek food in the Twin Cities. We often go to their Nicollet and Minnetonka restaurants. These are people who understand good greek comfort food. Share their saganaki before and their galaktoboureko after your main course. You'll thank me!
Ben Dover
Really good Greek food, quaint atmosphere, and a wonderful staff.
Regina Ezzard
The customer service and the food and atmosphere was excellent.
Walter Geyer
The crab stuffed mushrooms with rice were so delicious. We went with the Gyros and they didn't disspoint either...with warm pita triangles on the side
John Barcomb
Quiet Saturday evening (likely due to pandemic). Everyone was kind, warm, pleasant, and good natured! Food was yummy. I can't say enough nice things.
Sandy
A great spot for lunch. I loved their chilled melon and mint soup, gyros salad and friendly staff. One of the best Greek restaurants in the Twin Cities.
Yaya Noi
Delicious and good prices👍 …
Angela Ross
The food and the service was great. I split The Iliad with a friend. It was the perfect amount of food. I also had the chocolate and hazelnut strudel. Super good!
Jared Morton
Christos is our go-to restaurant when we have guests in town. Their avgolemono is one of my favorite soups of all time. Their saganaki is among my favorite foods, period. The entrees never disappoint. Finally, their milopita is the finest dessert in the Twin Cities, full stop. Go to Christos.
Jaklyn McElveen
One of our regular spots. Has a very welcoming feel to it. Decent prices and a good selection of food. Will keep coming back
Matt Cohen
One of the best Greek restaurants in the twin cities. Portions are good and ingredient quality high.
Aaron Kerwin
It was alright at best. Food was over priced for the quality. The names of the dishes were authentic, but the preparation and flavor were subpar for traditional Greek cuisine.
Viviana Quinn-Amalia
Always consistently great food. Me and my bf love the Iliad, just enough of everything for a fair price
Gail Johansen (Grjojo)
Christos has good Greek food. It's been around for years. Love the artichoke dip.
Brandon Mckinley
Great food and service. Our server was the best! Thank you!
tj III
Good food options and friendly staff. I had a vegetarian sampler. Both dishes were good. My friends Gyro platter looked very good.
Morgan McNall
Going to Christos was a blast, dining in such an open area was a lovely experience. The food was wonderful and the complimentary baklava was a fun surprise to end the meal with.
Anna Alexandra
They squeezed us in despite being heavily reserved for MIA Art in Bloom. Ashley was a lovely server. We'll be back! Feel your worries melt away when you try the galaktoboureko for dessert, you won't be disappointed.
Melanated rich Convo
I will first like to say the would-be pictures but I ate the food first second the place was clean covet readiness A+ fast service with a smile hot delicious gyro piping hot fries fast worth the money I spent
Eric Glaubke
Well rounded Greek restaurant in the twin cities. My party very much enjoyed their meal - chicken ke bab and Pastitsio. Christos has a very large menu so you are bound to find something you enjoy.
Rowan Miller
If you like Greek you will love this place! Grest food and service.
Michael Shovein
You can't go wrong with the Greek salad with gyros and cup of soup. Service is always superb.
Pam Guthrie
The kota sto phyllo made me happy, salty, savory, crispy with herbed carrots. The Gypsy Kings and healthy plants created a cizy atmosphere and the staff was great; helpful; attentive; and fun!
Margaret Schander
I love the lunch specials, the staff are so friendly.
Michael Wedl
Christos is so good! The staff are also great and the owner tends to each table with gratitude and a smile.

Amazing Souvlaki and Pastitsio!!! Best Greek I’ve had in years!
Benet Schirber
Always friendly folks. I had a delicious lamb shank in a dill and onion sauce. Yum!
Amy Smith
I love this place. The food is great, the room is open and inviting, and the staff is friendly and professional. (Hint: try the "cherry pie")
Nadia Goad
Great service should consider putting topics on the pita falafel, idk cucumbers tomatoes and feta possibly. Otherwise awesome
Anthony H
I just love this place. Even after moving far away many years ago, I’m happy to report that Christos continues to live up to my fond memories. I was in town for a week and ate here twice, which wasn’t enough...
Brandy Churchill
Delicious food and friendly service! The bean soup was excellent on a cold day, and the pitas were soft and warm.
Kris K.
Pretty good greek food. Open dining room is nice and seats many. Decor is a bit dated.
KnD Gale
Great food and service! Love this restaurant!
Karl Narveson
Dining room room is lovely in the daytime with the big windows and high ceilings befitting the pictures on the walls of Mediterranean islands. Also a family standby for takeout dinners.
Tracy Schmidt
Wonderful food. Family friendly, attentive staff.
Jim Hansen
Great Greek food. Good sampler plates. Sampler appetizer plate works as a meal with a soup or salad for one.
Kaitlin Nelson
The food was delicious and flavorful. The baklava was perfect. The service was great. Highly recommend!
Olana Owen
Excellent food, and tons of options on the menu to meet every appetite.
Sue Eicher
Delicious. Our delightful, knowledgeable, waitress helped us choose the perfect meals for everyone in the group.

Most food options are very delicious here. But I don’t like the atmosphere, it’s very gloomy and sad..
Karla Farrington
Great food excellent, waitstaff, perfect menu with all the favorites. Worth the trip!
