Reviews describe Christina's Cuisine as a warm, family run Greek restaurant that feels like home, offering authentic handmade dishes with generous portions and a strong emphasis on fresh ingredients. The menu ranges from seafood and souvlaki to moussaka and lamb, with several dishes that reviewers repeatedly call must tries, such as grilled octopus, calamari, and the roasted potatoes. Diners praise the friendly, attentive service and the convivial atmosphere that makes guests feel part of the family. Many comments tout the authenticity and consistent quality, with meals often compared to home cooking or meals in Greece. While the overall sentiment is highly positive and the value seen as fair for the handmade style, a few notes mention higher prices or occasional service hiccups, and some reviews point out a small, bustling space that can be noisy or less comfortable at peak times. Takeout and catering are cited as positive options by several guests. Overall, Christina's Cuisine stands out as a top pick for authentic Greek cuisine, celebrated for flavors, warmth, and a welcoming, homely vibe.
Probably one of the best greek good that i have ever had! The food was fresh, filled with flavor & the portions were very generous. The service was A+ & the staff was super friendly. Definitely worth stopping in! They make you feel at home.
One of the best Greek restaurants in town! Food is always fresh, tasty, & hits the spot! Nice intimate atmosphere, fantastic service, family owned restaurant. They take great pride in their food & it shows. Will always keep coming back & recommending it to family & friends.

I absolutely love Christina Cuisine in Laval! As a vegan, it can sometimes be tricky to find a restaurant with great plant-based choices, but they offer several delicious vegan options that are both fresh & flavorful. Dora is warm & welcoming, & you can tell she cares about the food & service. The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for both casual meals & special outings. I'm so happy to have found this spot - it's quickly become one of my favorites in Laval. Highly recommend!!!
I really should not be writing this, the last thing I would ever want is this place to become too busy for me to get my fix.
BUT ! they are so so nice & it is so so delicious I can't help myself.
Our family has been coming to Christina's Cuisine for close to 4 years now & we have never been disappointed.
It's a family run restaurant full of as much charme as you can squeeze into a Laval strip mall. Somehow, once you take your first bite, everything just disappears & all you can see are the photos of Greece on the wall come to life.
Best Moussaka, best roast pork ever.
There is the Menu, where you will find all the Greek restaurant staples... & then, there is the daily specials under glass at the counter / kitchen. Always a fresh fish (if you get there early), vegetables, bean dishes, Lamb, pork & more right there laid out in front of you.
On top of all that, the service is outstanding & convivial.
We had been meaning to try this restaurant for quite some time. We finally had the opportunity last Saturday evening, we were a group of 6. Make sure to reserve as this place is always full, there are limited tables. From the minute we walked in, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. We mentioned it was our first time, so we were shown the daily specials, they included roast pork, roast lamb, rabbit stew, veal, moussaka, ziti & stuffed peppers, all made fresh that morning. The roasted potatoes were also amazing. We tried almost all of the daily specials between us & we all left very full & with leftovers for lunch. The service was friendly & very helpful, we're definitely going to be back, & soon ! Thank you for a wonderful, authentic, Greek experience. Until next time :-)

Excellent personalized & accommodating service! It's been a long time since we've had food that tasted this homemade. This was our first time here, & now we understand why reservations are a must. Generous portions of fresh, heartfully prepared dishes. Wife had the stuffed pepper, so good. We grabbed the baklava cheesecake to go-easily one of the best desserts we've ever had!
You can tell when a business genuinely cares. A family operated restaurant where everyone is super friendly & the food tastes really fresh. Portions are generous. Be sure to reserve as seating is limited. *Edit: They seem overwhelmed when they have bigger groups. Empty plates end up staying on the table for a while before being picked up. They run out of popular menu items like gyro chicken, gyro pork rather quickly, knowing there are groups/ & reservations coming for birthdays etc. The worst is that they take your order & then tell you there's none left. There's a difference between substantial food waste & preparing enough for clients that evening. You also can't order greek style potatoes instead of fries with your dish because "they're only for hot plate orders"... too many rules.
I'm a big fan of this restaurant. They have 2 menus. One with more traditional plates like gemista, roast pork, roast lamb, moussaka, pasticio, etc. & the other like pikilia, souvlakis, chicken, etc. I always go for traditional & never have I ever been dissapointed!!! Prices are not cheap but portions are great & everything is fresh & flavourful. Staff is really friendly too. This place is simply great. Go already!

Dinner tonight at this little family Greek casual restaurant in Laval that was highly recommended ... Christina's Cuisine. When we walked in we were greeted & somehow it was clear that we had not been there before, so the man proceeded to show us some of the items in the hot case for tonight's specials with beaming pride (in case we were unfamiliar with Greek food). Although they didn't show our reservation, they sat us immediately (& the restaurant was full during our whole meal...with several people popping in for take away.) It was just a small strip mall restaurant, but it smelled wonderful & felt warm & welcoming & you could almost feel a sense of pride before you even started eating. We ordered a Greek salad (fresh, crisp, & good olives), calamari (meaty & crisp without being greasy), octopus (delicious & perfectly prepared, but a very small amount for the price), tzatziki (creamy & yummy, although I'd prefer a little more garlic, dill, & mint. I like to reek after eating this ;D), moussaka (Greek comfort food at its homey best), pork roast & potatoes (perfectly savory potatoes that Mitch went gaga over & a nice beautiful flavor to the pork...although I always find roast pork to be a little dry, so not my favorite...the flavorful juices served with it made it delicious, grilled lamb chops (absolutely Mmmmmm & my favorite ... although not especially meaty, very enjoyable & hit the spot). Mia & I got Aperol spritz's (that they made cute with some blueberries & sprig of mint) that were very Aperol forward, our favourite twist as we lean more toward a Aperol 3/Prosecco 2/Fizzy Water 1 ratio instead of the usual Prosecco 3 & Aperol 2 Fizzy Water 1 norm. We enjoyed our meal & all felt like this is the type of place that would be quick to recognize you if you came back & probably treat like family if you were a regular (especially having watched the staff's conversations & body language with everyone coming in & dining or picking up to go). We look forward to coming back & maybe next time trying a gyro or souvlaki! (A couple of photos we swiped from their website as we dove in & forgot to take pix! Thr rest are ours ;) )
one of my favourite greek food restaurants!! it has such a homey vibe to it & the service is always on point. I have been here so many times & it never disappoints They have so many food options, some are a la carte & some are from their hot table which is prepared fresh constantly throughout the day. This place is a must visit
my god, what a find. calamari melts in the mouth, everything fresh, the meat was so tender. even the fries were delicious. am definitely making this my new greek spot of choice. telling all my friends!

We ordered takeout from Christina's & although we did not get served by a waiter, the service did not disappoint. We were immediately welcomed as soon as we walked through the door, this being our first time, we had quite a few questions about the menu & although they were very busy (Saturday night) they took the time to give us recommendations & answer our questions. We ordered the gemista, tzatziki, gigantes, Horta, eggplant & gyro plate. Everything was so delicious & fresh, it really felt like we were eating at yiayias house again. Would 100% recommend & go back! Thank you!
Looking for an authentic taste of Greece, look no further! Every bite will touch your soul. Not only is the menu filled with your usual delicious dishes done the right way but you have a whole counter filled with incredibly made, home cooked delicacies, fresh of the day to chose from. Each one exploding with the Mediterranean flavor. The spot is quaint & filled to the brim with the ambiance of a genuine Greek village cafe. Staff are easy going & very friendly. You will not be disappointed.
This is by far the best Greek food I've had next to my mother's home made cuisine. Their dishes are very authentic, fresh & so flavorful & the portions are huge. Definately a lot of value for your money. I highly recommend these guys & with the trek trip go to Laval. & the service is impeccable. Thanks guys & you'll definately see us again!!!
