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.
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.
Please do not got there.

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.
I took a traditional souvlaki plate with two sticks, the meat was pork. I also took a authentic beverage coming from Greece. Soggy/greasy potatoes, greasy rice that oozes of grease. The souvlaki sticks where rather of poor quality, with lots of greasy parts of the pork that were barely edible. I spent the rest of the evening with nausea from the meal, I guess my stomach disagrees with greasy foods. I felt very disappointed since a good friend had warmly recommended that place to me.

Went for lunch with a group of friends, having looked forward to eating authentic prepared Greek food as experienced in restaurants in Greece. We were not disappointed! Many choices for everyone's taste. Most of us ordered from the ready to eat meals & one of us ordered the grilled fish which looked & tasted fantastic. I purchased meals to go including soup that were easy to freeze & have been eating them since then & they are amazing. Portions are Greek generous! My advice would be to phone ahead if making reservations in case there is a big group at the same time, as the space isn't that large & once a group of 10 or more arrive, it becomes very noisy. Having said that it just adds to the'typical Greek' atmosphere. Staff very welcoming, helpful & friendly. Service was attentive & accessible. We can't wait to go back even if we have to cross a couple of bridges.
This place was wonderful Top to bottom The staff is friendly & helpful & the food is just incredible. I spent a month & a half in Greece eating in 2019 & this is my favourite Greek food I've had since
Amazing night a Christina's Kitchen . I have heard a lot about this place . I was in Greece recently , & this lived up to what we ate in Greece . Dora, suggested our meal & served it family style to 4 of us, & everything was perfect . Authentic , good food .

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.
We were going to Laval so we decided to try something new in the area. We looked for a Greek restaurant & found Christinas cuisine. From the moment we entered we felt welcomed, the waiter asked us if it was our 1st time & then he started explaining to us the house specialties. The place has a nice Greeky ambiance which was very enjoyable. We tried the taramasalata (only letdown sadly), the Greek salad (very good), the pastitsio (delicious) & the moussaka (amazingly delicious). The service was fast as well as friendly & the prices were reasonable. Highly Recommended if you want a taste of Greece.
