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.
My husband's boss recommended Christina's Cuisine for authentic Greek's food. So glad we went. Highly suggest you make a reservation on weekends. Such a homey vibe. No pretentious food, just real good food. The grilled octopus is the best I had. Grilled calamari & moussaka were my kids favorite. My husband loved the lamb & potatoes. My first time trying kepasti & soooooooo delicious. Thank you for the great experience.

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!!!
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
Best greek food in mtl area! Great service, people are soooo nice. Homemade food pack of flavors. Really big size plate. Option for vegeterian also. Highly recommend the place.

Amazing, delicious, & "home-made" Greek food! They offer authentic traditional meals but also typical Greek street food. We ordered more than the images but were too busy eating & forgot to take pictures! Their grilled chicken is so juicy, I would highly recommend it. We had the stuffed peppers, fried calamari (see images), stuffed veal (with tomatoes & feta), & house Greek salad with vinegar dressing! Call & reserve if you want to dine in; it was VERY busy for a Thursday night! But they also offer takeout.
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 ;) )
Delicious Greek food with big variety, the service is excellent & the portions are generous. Best to make reservation in advance since the seats are limited. Highly recommended!
I came across Christina's Cuisine when googling Greek restaurants who provide catering. Reviews were all super positive so I felt comfortable asking them to cater Mothers' Day for 24 people. Dora was awesome. She helped me select a menu that would make the vegetarians & meat eaters in my family happy. She also provided awesome advice on the amount of food we needed. The food was a hit. Everyone loved it. The amount we ordered was perfect too. Biggest hits were the veggie moussaka, stuffed peppers, Greek salad, dolmes, & the pastitsio. Highly recommend Christina's Cuisine & also Dora to guide you through all the decisions.

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!!!
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.
