    Chicken souvlaki wrap and carbonara
    John L.

    Tried out their chicken souvlaki wrap and carbonara a few weeks ago for dinner. The chicken souvlaki had good flavours. The chicken was well marinated and tender. Portion size was small and just a few pieces of small chicken in the wrap. The carbonara was more disappointing. Wasn't enough sauce and tasted very bland. I needed to add more cheese and some creamy sauce I had in the fridge to make it more exciting.

    If I could give zero star, I would... On the Father's day we ordered a seafood plater. It's not our first time getting this. We had the same seafood plater back in Feb and it was always delightful. However, this time is super awful: The mussels were clearly rotten as many of them were not complete mussels, they smell and taste both rotten. I can't imagine any restaurants in the world that would be serving rotten seafood to customers! The same problems existed with the lobster. First of all they were very small and some parts were turning black... In February the restaurant provided the tools needed to eat the lodster, the shell cracker and the small fork to open the lobster/mussels, but this time we had to ask for the utensils and they said they don't have any... which might make sense as the food was all rotten so we didn't need them to eat them at the end... There were also a lot of food flies at our table. It's not even a hot/humid summer time. Either because the food was rotten and it attracted the flies, or there is a serious hygiene problem in the restaurant... or both! We asked for hot water and the waiter said there's no hot water in the restaurant.... We used to think Christinas is one of our fav restaurant in Greektown. However something must have gone wrong with the management. On the father's day we saw most of the neighboring restaurants were packed but including us there were only 4 tables of customers in Christinas! Looks like they are closing down or something. I still can't believe that we had to spend over $100 for rotten food!!! I would NEVER go back to this restaurant ever again!

    Hummus platter
    Suzie R.

    I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Greek dinner at Christina's on The Danforth! Their hummus was extra earthy, I believe thanks to a hint of coriander??? The Greek salad looked great but I could barely taste the dressing unfortunately. I had Moussaka for the first time (meat, not vegetarian) and it was delicious!!! Super tender and tasty, I loved it. Out server was absolutely fantastic and said we could stay for hours as he left the restaurant after his shift ended. Sadly the restaurant did not agree and turned off the music an hour early before closing time. We were the last ones in the restaurant and felt that we should leave which is unfortunate because I would have liked to have stayed longer. As a result I can only give my experience 3/5. I could forgive the lack of flavour in the salad dressing but feeling kicked out an hour early is kind of unforgivable. We even turned around to say good night and there was no one there. ~ Suzie The Foodie

    Greek fries
    Elizabeth M.

    Went to Christina's on a Wednesday evening. It wasn't very busy when we went so it made for a nice environment for a catch-up dinner with the girls. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I got the greek fries and chicken souvlaki. Came up to about 35 dollars. They were able to make substitutions so I got pita instead of rice. Food was overall good - not the best greek food that I've had but still yummy for the price! I especially liked the greek fries and tzatzik. Will definitely come back!

    Mediterranean Seafood platter for two - photographs missing - Greek salad, steam vegetables and rice
    Alyssa Z.

    Picture this. Saturday night, midnight. Just had a super long day and just wanting to eat geek with le boyfriend. We felt adventurous and wanted to try something than our normal - 3 restaurants. To our surprise this restaurant was still open and more than willing to serve us. We sat down on the patio because it was such a beautiful night. Looked at the menu (let me point out le boyfriend is extremely picky) and we both decided that the Mediterranean Seafood Platter for two is the choice that we wanted to go with. After the waiter had taken our order he had brought over the drinks and the bread. Pre buttered with fresh garlic butter - le boyfriend is celiac so he took the risk of eating it (8 hours later we found out he doesn't react to that bread which is FANTASTIC) he couldn't stop because it was sooo delicious. The food came out. Beautiful presentation and everything tasted excellent. The salmon and white fish was cooked to perfection. The shrimp and the lobster tail was a little on the dry side however none the less still very appetizing. This spot has been added to our go-tos list. Also the service was wonderful. Very pleasant and efficient, thank you for a wonderful time.

    One of my favorite restaurants on the Danforth. A fun and friendly setting to grab authentic Greek Food. Best Saganaki I have had!

The open fish market adds to the experience, and the drink selection is solid. Parking isn't the easiest (expect nearby office garages) but if you're there for a weekday dinner, they offer complimentary valet at the St. Regis, which helps. Service 5/5 Top tier. Staff are polished, attentive, and actually know the menu. Recommendations were on point, and everything felt seamless without being overbearing. It's the details that make it stand out, the attention to detail and the care when serving and presenting the food. Food 4.5/5 Went with the lunch menu (great value with an appetizer and main). Quality is consistent with what you'd expect from Milos: fresh, simple, and done properly. They're also mindful of time; if you mention you're on a tight schedule, they can accommodate a one-hour lunch without making it feel rushed. Had the salmon along with salmon tartare and the octopus. Good variety for the prix fixe lunch menu too. So far the best salmon tartare I've had in city.

Allah yustur. And one waiter? He BUMPED my head while walking past me. Didn't even say "sorry." Just gave me dirty look like I was the problem. Allah knows best because the attitude was unbelievable. Food came eventually, alhamdulillah, but by then I forgot what I even ordered. If you're coming here, bring snacks, a charger, and maybe a sleeping bag. Inshallah your food arrives before retirement. Mashallah to everyone's patience because mine was finished after 20 minutes. Service was absolute bum. Never again, khalas. Allah grant them faster legs and better manners. Ameen.

It's perhaps unfair to judge, because though I enjoyed my steak wrap (and it didn't claim to be shawarma), I didn't enjoy it as much as getting a shawarma at many other places and also spent nearly twice the amount. It was still fairly good however, and the $5 draught beer special was a good deal for sure. I still don't regret getting this ahead of the Raptors game and getting food that would have been even more expensive and nowhere near as good.

In a pita with garlic aioli, sour cream, tomato and pickles.") Who can say no to a concoction like that? Not this guy, that's for sure. It was probably about 15 minutes between the time I ordered and when I got the food, so this is clearly not the place to go if you're in a rush. But I'd say the food was worth the wait. That cheese crust is the obvious star of the show here, while the fresh, soft bread is also quite delicious. The other components are tasty too, but the patty itself is the weakest link. It didn't have any kind of crust and just seemed a little on the bland side. But that's a minor complaint for a rather decadent lunch that I quite enjoyed eating.

Overall the food was fine, but the price is a bit high for what you get. For $13-15, you get a skewer of meat (like chicken, veal, koobideh) which comes with rice and a roasted tomato. Unfortunately, they don't allow you to switch your carbs to a salad, thus forcing you to pay an additional $3, for a salad and yogurt. That works out to be almost $20 with a soda... a bit pricey given this is more of a take-out fast food joint. The food is alright. Pretty average, typical Persian food. The skewers are all quite fresh, tomatoes are BBQ'd fresh. Your rice and meat dishes come with a bit of butter for your to add to your meal too. Also... the amount of rice they give is HYYUUGGGEE. If you're hungry, this is perf for you! Although this place seems mostly to be a takeout joint, they do have a couple tables and some bar chairs available if you'd like to sit in. Credit card is accepted here!
