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.
As a treat, I ordered some roast pork & potatoes takeout & some tzatziki. It was a bit pricier than what I normally pay for a meal but it was worth every dime. The pork was a very generous portion with crispy skin & the bone marrow a perfect gel. The potatoes were well cooked & I still have half the portion for tonight. The pork fell apart & was juicy. The rest of the menu looked equally as good.
First & last time , i ordered for two adults & 2kids & lefts christians with a bill of $400.00 & not worth. I took 5 pieces of pastitsio & what they said was 5 servings of lamb & 8 pieces of potatoes & a tzatziki. The pastitsio meat sauce tasted sweet. The lamb had lots of bones & was bland. The price did not match the quantity or taste. This place is overrated.

Pick up 2 surprise bags of'Too Good To Go'.
I was given the cheapest food, no meat, it was supposed to be worth 48$ (2 X 24$).
Not even close that value. Lots of potatoes, soups, a few beans, & small pieces of chicken it the soups.
I was had, they got rid of cheap food, with barely any monetary value.
Not respecting at all the principal of Too Good To Go, to save mystery foods that are worth it, but most of all, that are worth the value promised.
It's a great concept that plenty restaurant respect, but some abuse the system of it, this place is of those.
A bit shameful. They made me feel like I got taken.
It's a way for me to try restaurants I didn't know, & to get a sens of who I'm dealing with.
Don't expect me to ever go there again, I'll choose an other Greek restaurant, plenty of others to choose from.
Extremely disappointed!
The food it self was not bad but really not great either.
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.
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 :-)
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.
Incredible experience where Christina boarded us to Tessaloniki with her succulent Moussaka. It had everything in it, tasty potatoes, juicy eggplants, great cheese. & what about the cheese? The feta is also tasty, the salad is also extraordinary. Thank you for those souvlakis, & for this great foot.
Christina's has amazing, authentic Greek food. I was always reluctant to try the most famous Greek dishes (moussaka & pastitsio), but they turned out to be incredible, with so much flavor. 100% coming back for my favourite plate which was the moussaka. I also had the lemon potatoes, which were a bit too salty, but overall, good.
Very flavourful gyros. Overall the food was good, but the service was disappointing. I ordered takeout- the plate with two pitas, asked for chicken but discovered it was pork when I finally got home. No big deal, it was still good. However I did ask for only potatoes & no rice. Instead I got a mountain of rice & two small pieces of potatoes. Not sure what's up with that. Willing to give it another try though.

I did take out. The food was great but the portions of rice & potatoes were minimal. When you're paying $35 for a simple plate, you would expect a decent amount of food. It's really hard to justify the price, no matter how good the food was.
Everything is quite delicious & has an extra home made feel to it. Similar to your yaya making food at home for you to enjoy. Service is friendly & authentic. Go to dishes are the roast with the roasted potatoes & the moussaka. But honestly everything is good.
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.
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 ;) )

A perfect restaurant for family & friends. The food is absolutely delicious, really authentic cuisine. The staff is really friendly & they go above & beyond. Lastly, take the Greek potatoes instead of french fries, you'll thank me late
Amazing Greek cuisine in Laval. Their roast pork melts in your mouth, & their moussaka is a family favourite. The lemon potatoes are so lemony ! The chicken gyro was moist & plentiful. The hot table has so many options to choose from (from stuffed veggies to lamb & fish). For dessert, we had their rice pudding, creme caramel, Greek yogurt, & ekmek kataifi. All were big portions & all went perfectly with a cup of coffee.
The staff here is so friendly & the food is delicious. We got the same waiter both times & he was hilarious. The Greek potatoes, feta balls, gyro, moussaka, iced coffee, everything is delicious. & they have Greek beer! It's a small place so make sure to reserve. Definitely come here!
This place has the best Greek food I have ever had. The meat is so fresh & bursting with flavour. The fries actually taste like real potatoes, seasoned perfectly, & the tzatziki tasted fresh & homemade. In addition to the amazing food, the staff there is friendly, funny & caring. I will eat here again for sure!
