Been coming here for so long! Every occasion I’ll celebrate here as the team is so loving, friendly, caring & always makes sure you get the best service/food. Elena, Giannis, Tommy, Leo, all of them are amazing! One of them took care of our table tonight for Mother’s Day but I can’t remember his name he was the sweetest and always made sure we were doing good. The food is delicious always fresh and hot, atmosphere is beautiful and Friday, Saturday nights the live band, dancing & music is the best to enjoy with friends and family. Will forever be a place I’ll always come to and recommend to everyone thank you Cristina’s on the Danforth!

This was our very first time celebrating a birthday at this restaurant, and to be honest, it exceeded all my expectations! Elena took excellent care of us and was incredibly enthusiastic in her passionate explanations, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious-the meat was cooked to perfection, exactly as we requested. It was truly flawless! I highly recommend this place!

I visited Christina’s for the first time with a few friends on a recent Saturday evening, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was excellent—especially the grilled octopus starter, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. But what really stood out was the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. I tend to choose restaurants not just for the food, but for the energy of the space—the kind of place where you can enjoy a great meal surrounded by happy, lively diners. Christina’s absolutely delivered on that. The live music added a wonderful touch, creating a joyful vibe that clearly resonated with everyone in the room. If you’re in the mood for delicious Greek cuisine in a relaxed and upbeat setting, Christina’s is well worth a visit.

I had lunch at Christinas quite randomly and it was quite good. I tried the tzatziki appetizer, the eggplant dish and mixed souvlaki. Everything was on point. The prices are ok. No complaints whatsoever, a solid Greek restaurant.

A very cosy Greek spot with impeccable service and the most delicious food! The portion sizes are large, with fresh ingredients and high quality meat. I enjoyed trying the Greek beer. We shared one appetizer and one entree between two and that was a perfect amount, especially with the servings of garlic bread. Thank you Elena for making it a great evening! I initially intended to come in for Daily Specials but it wasn't on for the Monday Family Holiday. Unfortunately meant I had to choose from the main menu, but fortunately the meals were delicious!

The food here was incredible!! We got the saganaki as an appetizer and were not expecting the massive slice of cheese that they gave us. It was amazing. Tommy was our waiter and made our experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for fantastic Greek food and a great atmosphere.

Tommy took excellent care of us. We normally stick with a souvlaki dinner but Tommy took our menus from us and gave us fantastic recommendations. We obviously still started with the saganaki. Tommy brought us the lamb chop and the braised short rib - nothing short of tender and flavourful. We finished with the baklava and enjoyed the Greek coffee. Tommy’s service, personality, exceptional food recommendations and live music made our night fantastic. Highly recommend.
