Absolutely fabulous. I've been going there for 30 years. Took my niece and her family on 6/14/26. She remembers going there 20 years ago. Lo and behold, Christos himself was there and served us. We all loved the food. read more

Amazing flavors I haven't found anywhere else in the twin cities! Everything tasted fresh like it was just made from scratch. I think they are obsessed with lemons and they were served with everything, but it was a welcomed addition. Spanakopita (5/5) best item on the menu IMHO Souvlaki (4/5) very similar to the one I tried in Athens last year. Greek Hash (5/5) my son loved this hearty meal with gyro meat and potatoes Baklava (5/5) I should have ordered 5 more to take home. They were delicious! Ambiance may be a tiny bit outdated, but still has a lot of spunk for this authentic restaurant. read more

Christos has been around forever for a reason. This place delivers classic Greek-American comfort food without trying to reinvent itself. I went with the fish, and it was a great choice. The fillet was perfectly seared, flaky, and topped with capers and green onions over rice with fresh asparagus. It was light, flavorful, and let the ingredients do the talking. The service was friendly, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere feels like the kind of neighborhood restaurant everyone should have nearby. read more

I'm glad to report that we had a very improved restaurant compared to our July 2025 experience. We were seated promptly, and this time weren't banished to the tables in the back of the restaurant. Perhaps it is because I requested a window seat when I made the reservation. It was very pleasant. This visit was on February 21, 2026, less than a month since Alex Pertti was shot and killed by ICE, only half a block from the restaurant. I was glad to see the restaurant was filled, even very early on a Saturday night. The waitress was friendly and very competent. The humas was as usual, wonderful: creamy and tasty. My wife ordered the appetizer version of the Spanakopita, which was enough for her to consider it a entree, along with a soup. I had the dinner special of broiled Atlantic Salmon with white wine and butter sauce. It was served with asparagus and rice pilaf. This is something that I had never tried at Christos and it was excellent. It also came with a house salad, which was also very good. The total, with one glass of wine, was $70.88 plus tip. One question: Why do the nightly specials never change? read more

Amazing gyros. The pita bread had just the right amount of spice to it, the meat was well seasoned with some light crispy bits, and the tzatziki sauce was tangy and flavorful adding the perfect addition to the dish. While I only did take out, the restaurant itself was tastefully decorated and very lively. The service was impeccable, getting me in and out in under 20 minutes on an otherwise busy afternoon. read more

Superior service with a charming and personable staff, food to match--superior and winning. Unlike so many "ethnic" restaurants, each dish has its own signature and seasonings. Worth a long and lingering evening. read more

We loved our lunch at Christos! Our server was fantastic and gave us some recommendations. We shared a tiropita, I got the pastitsio and my friend got a salmon pastry entree. We shared two desserts, the orange cake and a custard dish. Everything was so good and we cannot wait to go back, hopefully for dinner! read more

My friend and I had an absolutely outstanding meal here! I don't have Mediterranean food very often but restaurants like Christos are starting to lure me. Everything was very high quality. I got the Kota Sto Phyllo, which was a spinach mixture wrapped in chicken wrapped in phyllo pastry. Really tasty; the chicken was very delicate and flavorful. Loved it. Came with a soup called Avgolemono which was creamy lemon with rice, tasted kind of exotic and I loved that too. My friend really loved her gyro salad. Our server was Mark, and is the kind of server that I imagine gets recruited by other good restaurants because he is so smart and attentive. My friend has very specific dietary restrictions and he had all the information she needed. He was really thoughtful. They have parking!!!! They have a dedicated parking lot to the north of their building, and even an overflow lot across the street on weekend evenings. It's pretty spacious, and pleasantly decorated. I was just very happy we decided to dine here, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Came here on a weekday with friends for dinner and we're seated right away. It was pretty quiet, which was nice for chatting. Our server, Bobbi, was so nice and attentive! I split the Iliad with a friend and it was more than enough food for two! I've had better moussaka, spanakopita, pita bread elsewhere, but overall the food was tasty! For dessert we split the galaktoboureko (forgot to take a picture!) and it was delicious! The flavor was reminiscent of French toast. Highly recommend this dessert! read more

Ate here for my birthday celebration! Love this restaurant. I have been eating here for 30+ years! Love Gus and his food.

We visited the Minneapolis Art Institute and walked to the restaurant for lunch. It was an easy 10 minute walk. I ordered the Chicken Ke Bab which was a marinated chicken breast with vegetables. It was served over country rice pilaf. The chicken came in Ke Bab form with vegetables attached to the skewer. The chicken was moist and not dry. It had a nice flavor. There could have been more vegetables included but overall the meal was very good. I would recommend this meal. The service was outstanding. read more

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 read more

I have been a customer for years. It's been a while since I had the spanakopita. I was extremely disappointed on this occasion. They did not use feta cheese in their version! I believe it was Swiss cheese. Essentially, I was served spinach quiche. I don't know if they are buying frozen ready made items (based on the appearance), or someone in the kitchen is just an idiot, but they should be embarrassed serving that garbage in a Greek restaurant. When I complained, I was comped a free dessert. So, no explanation on what was going on in the kitchen. read more

We ordered the gyro, tavas (lamb hot dish), saganaki (baked cheese with homemade pita) and avgolemono soup as well as some Greek wine. It was all incredible. Even better was the warm service from our waiter and the owner. We will be back! read more

This is where my employer takes new hires for their welcome lunch. It's nice. The service is always friendly and efficient and the good solid. I don't love this style of food, so hard to judge. I almost always get a gyro and they're consistently solid. It's a fine place but again Greek is not my personal jam. That said a place does not last as long as this place has without being good. read more

The salad is always on the money, but the food is always good there no matter what you get service was excellent. Our waitress was very helpful and of course our atmosphere is beautiful. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Staff Christmas Party and Christos was fantastic. Table for 15 midweek with a full menu of Greek delicacies made for a very special time for our team. Staff is great and they were helpful to people who had less experience with the menu options. We had flaming appetizer, octopus and many entrees with their incredible pita (best in state) we shared the variety of options the team sampled and each dish was delicious. read more

This place is wonderful. Put it on your "not to be missed restaurant" in Minneapolis list. I've never eaten Greek food before, but the salmon was delightful and they have the best lemonade in the world slightly sweet not overly bitter. Perfect!! We ate with friends and everybody's meal was absolutely delicious. Try everything! The service is wonderful and they are very helpful. read more

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! read more

Best Greek food in Minneapolis and St Paul!! The hummus and gyros are amazing! Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Highly recommend!

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. read more

Wow! This is must "go-to" restaurant and I don't say that often. This is most certainly in my top five restaurants. First, you need to have the saganake. It's flaming cheese and it's delicious! They light it in fire tableside. It's hot, creamy and delicious. Add a Chardonnay and it's an event. We ordered the Iliad. It's a sampler platter and enough food for 3. The sausage is amazing. The spanokopita is so good. The gyro and tzatziki sauce was delish. Overall the meal was memorable. The cherry pie with ricotta cheese was the perfect end to the evening. We didn't find anything that we didn't love. We will be back. Please enjoy! read more

Tried while visiting MSP and it was a highlight! Falafel was so fresh - not dry at all. Gazpacho was refreshing on a hot day and pita also tasted very fresh. Would not miss next time I'm in town! Suggest making a reservation for lunch, it was quite busy. read more

The next stop on the culinary tour through the Twin Cities had us grabbing Greek. Now, it's been a minute (cough couple of decades) since I was in Greece, but I have fond memories of the food. I was excited to see familiar favorites that included vegetarian options. Many of the items on the dinner menu come with choice of soup or salad and choice of a side. Yes, please! There's also a pretty good wine list that includes some Greek options (not so easy to come by). I decided to go for a Greek wine that I'd never heard of. Unfortunately, I think it was corked. Luckily, our server was quick to offer a replacement. (Note: they have a very nice rosé.) I ordered the vegetarian moussaka with a cup of tomato basil soup and broccoli on the side. The soup was quite tasty: the acidity level was good, the feta added nice saltiness, and the basil came through loud and clear. The portion size for the main was exactly right (I had ordered off their "the lighter side" menu). The broccoli had been cooked from fresh and was just under al dente. The moussaka wasn't quite what I was expecting. While I did get the marriage of tomato and cinnamon that those who enjoy Greek food will know and love, and the sautéed vegetables had melded together nicely, the Béchamel sauce had a slightly tasty texture, and the dish was served a bit cooler than I would have liked. I skipped dessert, but my friend (who had ordered the classic moussaka) wound up getting the phyllo-nutmeg-custard dessert. It smelled great! He said it was good, with subtle nutmeg flavor. The service was enjoyable and the portions sizes are just right. It's a bit loud, but I can tell that it would be a fantastic place for groups: I could see meeting friends here for wine and orektika. read more

Christos Greek Restaurant - Tomato Tomato-Basil with Feta - Cup - Greek Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Years ago we used to visit Christos every month when we lived in Minneapolis. Gus, the owner, knew us by name and my son especially loved coming here. But life happens, people move and children grow up. We were attended an exhibit at MIA and I thought of Christos. Close by and full of memories. My friend had never been here and hasn't tried much Greek food so it was a fun choice. Every meal has to begin with Saganaki (melted kasseri cheese flamed tableside with brandy, doused with lemon juice) - excellent cheese and fun show. Then we each had a soup: Acorn Squash with Apple and Tomato-Basil with Feta. Both were very good. The squash could have been improved with a few small apple pieces as it was pureed and subtlety flavored. For entrees the Putanesca pasta special and Koupepia (grape leaves stuffed with ground beef, lamb, rice and herbs). Both were very good and just the right portion size. For dessert the choice is always Galatopoureko (nutmeg custard baked in phyllo pastry). Excellent. The portion size has greatly decreased since I last visited so order one per person. Service was good but a little slow. I really missed Christos and especially Gus. I wish we could have seen him again. read more

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. read more

Anja was a great waitress. She had a smile on her face, and she was really polite. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was so nice. The people next to us were so polite, and the mother had a birthday. So if they see this. Happy birthday. I highly recommend this place. I am so tired now and in a food comatose. Thank you so much, and I am so happy we had baklava, too. It was really a great dessert and fantastic food and Anja, you were amazing and I highly ask to sit in her area. Very nice, and beautiful young lady. read more

This place needs no introduction from a lowly yelper such as myself. It's hands down the best greek food in Minneapolis, and it has the awards to prove it. It's an institution that retains a friendly neighborhood restaurant vibe. Everything we had was delicious. My hunch is that it's the kind of place where it's hard to go wrong, but the staff was also supremely friendly and able to make some excellent recommendations. We couldn't decide and settled on the Iliad platter and 3 desserts . In my opinion a must try in Minneapolis. read more

The deserts alone get five stars. Fresh is an over used word in food reviews. Once you sink your teeth into the baklava layers of flaky crust as it crumbles in your mouth you know that instant it's - Fresh. Its not too sweet with a hint of cinnamon. Best Greek baklava I've had. However it's the cherry pie that will blow your mind. It's cherries with sweet cream cheese wrap in crispy phyllo dough sitting on a sugar reduction sauce. Mama Mia!! The following were good - calamari, kebabs, pork chops, and falafel. Special mention to the spanakopita and the Greek salad. And last, who doesn't like saganaki (flaming cheese) pair it with bread- excellent!! read more
