If you want really great Greek food at a reasonable price there is no better place in town than Christos. We were just there on a Tuesday night which is a "half price bottle night" and shared a lovely bottle of wine at a great price. The Saganaki (flaming Greek cheese) came to the table with the usual flair and we finished every bite with the super fresh pita bread. I had the Spanikopita dinner with fresh vegetables and a cup of their very citrusy egg lemon soup. I just wish they were in my neighborhood - I would be there all the time! Oh, I forgot to mention they have their own offstreet parking which is especially nice in this busy neighborhood.

We were there to celebrate my oldest greek friend's birthday. The service was great and the food superb. The appetizer plate was almost a meal in itself. We started with saganaki. Our entrees were vegetarian souvlaki, lamb pieces with veggies, and shrimp skewers on rice. All were very good. My wife kept saying we need to come back again soon. I agree, soon indeed. Birthday boy was treated to baklava.

Why did I not know that this place has the most authentic Greek food in the TC. Well comparing the street foods we ate in Greece I can say this place has the same level of quality and taste. Portion is big which makes the price pretty decent. Will come again for sure.

I last reviewed this restaurant a bit over a year ago. Christos always manages to be consistently excellent. Their hummus is everything you want it to be: creamy, tangy, flavorful, and addictive. When coupled with the included fluffy pita bread, this could easily suffice as a satisfying meal. My wife had the squash soup, which is always a favorite of hers, while I opted for the "Village" salad. This salad is never an afterthought; it always includes a variety of high quality veggies, and is included with most entrees. I wish other restaurants would go beyond the iceberg lettuce-shredded carrots-one cherry-tomato model. So that deserves extra credit just for quality and creativity. For entrees, we had a chicken kabob for my wife and a lamb kabob for me. Both come with rice pilaf. The lamb, as usual, was cooked perfectly, and had a great lamb flavor without the gaminess. My wife also enjoyed her chicken kabob. The rice pilaf was perfect. I still lament the closing of the Minnetonka location, which was both closer to where we live, and I enjoyed the vibe of that branch of the restaurant. However, the Minneapolis location is very pretty and the service is always consistently excellent. This restaurant deserves another five star rating.

I just had the most wonderful meal with the most wonderful server. His name is Nick, he is brand NEW here too! Friends You've got to come here to Christos on 26th and Nicollet Ave. South in Minneapolis. Seriously, the atmosphere is awesome. It's right in the heart of the everything in good eateries on the Southside of Minneapolis. The food is wonderful. The staff is even more wonderful. I can't get enough of this place. It's my weekly, go to so do yourself a favor and get the Gyro sandwich if you're not feeling super hungry. It's delicious The lamb is tender, perfectly seasoned and the greens are crisp. Just can't stop saying enough good things about this place and the atmosphere???Forget about it!!!! It's wonderful! 20 stars for this one!! - Lydia Moses (foodie) and lover of gr8 service and good prices.

Finally tried this classic restaurant The oregano lemon pepper chicken wings tasted great but very small and only 6 of them The moussaka was good but lacked some salt The pork slouvaki was tasty - not as good as the real thing in Greece! The salad that comes with the entree was very basic - way too many red onions, no feta just lettuce The atmosphere is cute and relaxed and quiet- Will be going back to try more on their menu Service was okay- a little slow and now very attentive

The owner, Gus, has been treating his customers like friends for years in this location that has been a regular destination for members of my family for decades. I love everything about this place and wish everyone could experience it! You are always greeted warmly with a smile and made to feel like a special guest from the moment you enter. The inside of the restaurant is warm and inviting, lots of natural light and a nice open dining room where no one feels crowded. The staff are a joy to interact with, and they will help you with any questions you have on the menu or make recommendations based on things you like or don't like. There are lots of vegetarian choices, and they also are willing to take special requests to the kitchen. The food is traditional Greek done right, and you just cannot go wrong - I especially enjoy the hummus, tzatziki, falafel, tabouli and all of their soups are fabulous! They have recently updated their wine menu and our table had a bottle we loved. The food is tasty, the portions are generous, the prices are very fair, and the staff are extraordinary so I think this is a gem all the way around!

Went here on a whim during a lunch break while in town for a meeting, lucky us! The lunch specials are numerous, and we enjoyed everything we tasted! The Greek salad dressing was perfect, I loved the mousakka and potatoes and the portion size was perfect! The Greek lemon chicken soup was some of the best we have ever had, and the fish baked in phyllo was both gorgeous and tasty. Our server kept our drinks filled and was very helpful. Of note: the many healthy live plants filing the windows, YAY!

Old school Greek restaurant. Stopped by here with my biweekly dinner and board games crew to check out some Mediterranean fare. It's off Eat Street, so parking can be fun to find, but the area is very walkable. Inside is Hellenic art and artifacts from across the pond. You know what to expect with the meal. I went for the Avgolemono - a lemon egg soup. It is quite citrusy. The soup was a little light in consistency for my preference. We tasted the egg, but it was quite overpowered. Something different to try. The Mousaka was interesting . Fried eggplant with a nice tomato sauce on top. The cheese choice was unexpected, I guess American or maybe a young Cheddar? Wasn't a big fan, it kinda clashed with the vibe. I was trying to be healthy and ordered a side of veggies. They were steamed well and not overly cooked. Would come here again to try other things on the menu.
