We had a great first experience. Very authentic and we were able to get items we normally have to buy from Cyprus and bring back. The staff were friendly! Food was amazing and Pap Cristo himself was a wonderful person to meet! We would recommend this wonderful place to anyone wanting something Greek in LA! Cheers Papa Cristo!
A hidden gem in LA. Excellent food and value. Gyro lamb and beef are favorites. Market adds flavor to the setting.
Love this great place ����the food, the staff,and the amazing array of Greek wines, Olive Oils and baked goods! The portions are huge and delicious....even love the decor with awesome pictures on the wall.....
I took my children to Papa Christo because I needed to eat real authentic Greek food and this is the only place you can get it in LA! The children loved it we ordered kebabs, grilled land chops, Greek salad humus and had his amazing sour cherry drinks and finished up the meal with Baklava needless to say we ate nothing again until Sunday morning brunch!!!
I live in the bay area but when I go to socal that is the only time I could get a authentic Greek food. The staff are very helpful, and food are all delicious. I wish I am closer so I could have authentic Greek food every day of my life. I was just there yesterday morning before lunch and bought me a food to bring to norcal. Thank you Papa Cristo and the Staff! I'll be back..!!
Chris Chris always takes care of me. I go way back to when I was 12 w him he doesn’t remember but that rosary that’s scented rose he gave me when I was 12 and in the hospital he said to take care of it cuz he brought it from Greece for me
EXCELLENT service and food. You feel like you have been transported to a small Greek city. There are paintings of key places on the walls mixed in with Wall of Fame of reviews and of this Los Angeles landmark, pre packaged food and Mediterranean art and architecture. My favorite place to dine Greek! Must try Baklava (fresh daily) and Gyros...
The Rack of Lamb is one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. Not gamy, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and chard just right.
Food is consistently delicious. Servings are sufficiently abundant, service is quick and always polite. I will keep going back for many more years after having been a loyal customer since the early 90's.
Always when I have the chance to be at LA visit this place great food
Great food! Great market! Worth the drive downtown!
The best and delicious food! I will back soon. Crist'o Thanks .
The food was well seasoned, cooked perfectly and fresh. Portions are generous, and the service is great. They have valet parking on the rear lot of establishment. Prices are good for the quality and portions, in my opinion. Definitely recommend it and will be returning too.
Papa Cristo's is a 🇬🇷Greek Market/Bakery and Cafeteria Restaurant all in one.
He's been open since 1948!
Μπράβο Λεβέντη είσαι Πρώτος!👍
When we visit Papa Cristo's we always get some Delicious Grilled Lamb Chops with Roasted Potatoes, 😋 Grilled Octopus and The Feta/Tomato Plate😋. You can't forget about The Baklava so Tasty😋. Then you head over to The Market side to pick up some Amazing Imported🇬🇷 Greek Feta, 🇬🇷Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Imported Kalamata Olives 🫒, 🇬🇷Greek Oregano, Loumidis 🇬🇷Greek Ground Coffee to bring Home.
The Service was Great! 👍
I Definitely Recommend Papa Cristo's!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They have some amazing food, you need to try it out, I had a lamb and beef wrap. It was huge and delicious (picture chicken wrap)
Best place to eat Greek Food everything in the menu is delicious but my most favorite thing of all is the all you can eat lamb,beef,and chicken and it also comes with pita bread, potatoes and a salad.
They have every Sunday $25 for all you can eat Greek food can't go wrong with that
It's a landmark so it was fun to visit! Yup, Papa Cristo was there and he's very friendly! I'd like to try more menu items especially the octopus. A friend ordered that and he said it was amazing! I had chicken kabobs and they were unfortunately a bit dry.
The store/deli has a lot of Greek food and wines. The inside eating area is nostalgic with many photos of famous people who've been there. There is a restroom available.
The food and service was great. They didn't take more than ten minutes to prepare a large order (Saturday afternoon; a time when most restaurants are busy). What I really liked was the amount of meat they put in my lamb gyro ( great value for $15). Parking lot is small though. And it's small inside too. I wish the salad size were larger and gave more tzatziki and condiments. Other than that, the food was very yummy! Highly recommend.
What a delightful Greek restaurant! The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a touch of Mediterranean charm. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had a memorable dining experience. And the food, oh my! Each dish was a burst of authentic Greek flavors. The moussaka was rich and savory, the dolmas were perfectly seasoned, and the seafood platter was a seafood lover's dream. I can't recommend this place enough - it's a true culinary gem.
First thing first this is some of the best local house wine I have tried. Pair perfectly and I mean perfectly with the meals they serve. All the ingredients were fresh and well made. The lamb was seasoned great though if you are ordering my advice is asked for it to be seared at medium well to bring out the full flavor profile, had it twice and at medium just wasn't as good. The fish was great, especially with the sauce they paired with it and the beef kabobs were Pleasant. The outdoor seating is well-located and just has a nice family vibe. Super friendly staff and items weren't rush but you also weren't waiting forever on them. Overall a nice little night spot to grab a meal and enjoy some conversations with friends while you enjoy food and drink
We love this place. Its been so long due to covid. Your potatos and pita bread are just bites of heaven. The greek salad was spot on. The only let down was the baba ganosh eggplant dish. It was very bland and we did not feel that the eggplant had been roasted. It was missing that bit of smokey char flavor.
The grilled fish and rack of lamb were amazing. The sides were slacking, the rice was weak and I to recut the salad.
