papa cristo's

we come from india and visit greece in the summer for the last 25 years.so when we were in l.a. we wanted to try the bestgreekrestaurant in the city and we weren't disappointed. the chef was very welcoming and the food was typicallygreekand fantastic. highly recommend - try the "big fatgreekdinner" on thursday nights

this place is really good! super authenticgreekfood and the decor reminds you of a small town in greece (not that i've ever been...) definitely worth a try!

papa cristo’s has been an la fixture as long as i can remember. the green painting along the pico/normandie street walls made it quite distinct in the area. it all started with a market opening in 1948. owner sam chrys wanted to bringgreekgoods to los angeles, importing everything from greece. not only until the 1990′s did papa cristo’s develop into a restaurant. the business is still family run and is overlooked by the 3rd generations. the same quality and standards are still met today. papa cristo’s is the epitome ofgreekfood in los angeles. if you want legitimategreekfood that tastes good, this is the place. we started off with the spanakopita. the dough was flakey and delicious — the inside spinach and cheese mix was perfectly balanced. it is a rich filled pastry, and after 2 bites, i was sick of it. definitely, some hot sauce went a long way with this pocket of dough and filling. above all items on the menu, the lamb gyro is a must order. everything in this wrap is perfect.

well, if you go for thegreekfeast, you’re gonna get what they’re gonna give ya. the big ticket items include: lemon-oregano chicken and a marinated lamb loin.

whenever you want authentic ethnic food, it is always a good idea to ask someone who is actually from the region for their favorite place to eat. my favorite restaurant, vanilia , in santorini was recommended by a greek, and the samegreekrecommended papa cristo's here in los angeles as the place he goes when he yearns for the comforting food of his homeland. papa cristo's is agreekinstitution, having been in business at the same location for nearly 60 years, owned by the same family. places that withstand economic turns and fickle tastes for decades do it by doing something well, in papa cristo's case they do several things well, from authenticgreekdishes, to products from greece you can not find elsewhere in los angeles. i saw from the plates at the taverna that portions were huge, so i opted to take a bit of everything home because if i ate in the place, i would end up with most of it in a doggie bag anyway. their spanikopita ($2 each) is the best i have ever eaten, and yes, th

kalimera! mark and i decided to join papa and his crew for a thursday night big, fat,greekdinner.
