Many patrons praise the homemade quality of dishes like moussaka, roast pork, and fresh seafood, often noting that the experience mirrors a trip to Greece.

Visiting the local area & found this gem. Being Greek, having traveled to a number of places in Greece, to have a taste from home truly is remarkable & here you find a slice of Greek heaven in every dish & flavor they serve. Thank you for making a place home away from home for those who miss Greek dishes & the lovely atmosphere. Will surely be back for more. ❤?🇬🇷❤?
Trying new restaurants is important to us. When friends recommend restaurants, they are often disappointing.
Not this one.
Wow! Was I impressed.
Reservations are a must. We made one a week in advance. Good thing. By 6:45, our reservation was for 7, it was full & people kept coming in & having to leave because they didn't have space. It's a very small restaurant.
With a really nice menu, providing the customer with a variety of options, it was hard to decide.
We started with the sliced Beet Salad served with a small amount of Feta. The dressing was a simple light drizzle of olive oil. Delicious!
My husband ordered the Moussaka. When it arrived at the table I didn't think it would be enough for him...but it was. Loaded with potatoes, eggplant & a tomato meat sauce it was very filling & delicious.
I, on the other hand, went for the traditional souvlaki pita with lemon potatoes & house salad.
Not crazy about the salad being served on the same plate as my pita but because the dressing was not watery there was no spill over making the pita soggy. But the dressing was amazing. Homemade is the best.
The potatoes were perfectly cooked where the outside was firm & the inside was fluffy with a slight lemony flavor.
The Souvlaki Pita was perfect like in Greece. With a thicker pita, pork cubes cooked to perfection & fresh ripe juicy tomatoes filling the bread. I had it without onions & the tziziki on the side.
Don't forget the Mythos beer. They have that too.
Will I go back? Absolutely 💯 💯 💯
Its was not planned my visit there , but I was surprised how quickly waiters found to us the table , the service was exceptional ! The food its adorable 😋 😍 & one 🍽 filled with delicious food & made with love ❤?
The atmosphere all about the Greek culture 🙌 auténtica..
So you made my day as a vacation to Greece 🇬🇷 😍 💙
Very friendly, warm & inviting restaurant that feels like home. Food is authentic & at par with what you would find in Greece. From seafood to souvlakis, everything's a 10/10. Not much else to say that's already been said in the 1,000+ positive reviews… will take pictures the next time I dine-in.
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.
Christina's Authentic Greek Restaurant offers a warm & welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff & truly authentic Greek cuisine. While some dishes can be a bit on the pricey side, the quality & overall experience make it well worth it. If you're craving a genuine taste of Greece, this place is highly recommended.
As someone who goes to Crete every summer, I am always looking for some place that reminds me of Greece. I've been to many Greek restaurants here but this was the closest I've ever had to being in Greece. The warmth, the love, the yelling, the Yaya in the kitchen, & all the delicious & authentic dishes both on & off the menu.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic. In no way is it fancy, but as authentic as it gets
Where to start? Walked in without a reservation, around 3pm.
Ordered the moussaka & the souvaki combo platter.
The moussaka was delicious & smooth. The souvlaki was cooked to perfection, you can taste the charcoal & the authentic flavours of greece. The baked potato however, takes the gold medal. I can't remember the last time i ate potatoes this good. Slightly citrusy & soft that it melts in your mouth.
If you are looking for authentic greek food in Laval, this is the place to be.
