The market employees were sweet to help me choose some Greek wine . I also got hummus , tabouli , spanakopita , & dates. Hummus , tabouli , & baba ganoush are *behind the counter. I am Lebanese & approve!

If the Korean and American snacks in your minibar aren't your style, stock up on imported Greek olive oils , vinegars, cheeses , and pastries at this iconic Byzantine-Latino-Quarter eatery and market . Read more

Grilled lamb with feta cheese sandwitch + Greek salad , yum yum, it was sooo good. This is my favorite Greek food place in LA!!!!

Rhonda Barket

Family style dinner with music and belly dancing for entertainment. Food was delicious and a great time was had by all who attended.

Offbeat L.A.

Opened in 1948 at this address was a Greek importing company, importing Greek food & wine . This evolved into Papa Cristo's restaurant , which opened in the early 1990's.

Justin Ordoveza

The warm pita on the gyro sandwich is really good. Parking can be difficult. The Italian market has an impressive selection.

Leland Coontz

The Lamb . Anything with Lamb . Must I repeat myself? Get some Lamb . I spoke with the man himself (Papa Cristo) and he explained that you cannot find lamb properly cooked anywhere else! Just try it.

Gustave Tausch

Greek products and Amazing Tsatsiki! Recommend the Gyros to take to go ????????

Jenn Jarmula

Visit on a Thursday for the Big Fat Dinner , wine tasting and belly dancing - inexpensive and delish! (don't forget to make a reservation ...I don't think walk-ins are taken).

Chris Collins

You're in the right place! Best gyros in town . Grilled baby octopus is great and the fried feta is quite a treat. If it's a nice day, sit on the patio - many people don't know that they have one!

Galo Canote

The Olive Caviar is on point! A must have ---- don't leave without trying it or getting some to go!

Billy Amp

Tip #2: If Greece and Italy had a baby, what would it be?! A Gyro Pizza !!!

Armando

Hands down the best Greek Food ! Outstanding food, service and make sure you take home a bottle of Papa Christos Greek dressing , you will be glad you did!

Wendy Jimenez

One of my favorite Greek food locations, best hidden gem ! Be prepared to pay $15-20 per person!

Billy Amp

Gyros on gyros on gyros !!!! Great Greek Food !

The Feast

Greek grocery , bakery and restaurant with spit-roasted gyros . Thursday nights at the taverna feature My Big Fat Greek Family-Style Dinner .

Latina Fey

Best falafel and gyros in town ! Also, al most always live music on Saturday afternoons.

Di Lucie

Best spinach pie ever! Crisp, Flakey and buttery, but not oily. Spinach filling is aromatic and well seasoned.

Laurel Janssen Byrne

Gyro falafel spanokopita....yes yes yes. Don't miss the olives . So good!

Andrew Ollero

Thursday Night Dinners are a fun experience. Bring a group and enjoy the food, drinks, and entertainment.

Enrique Nunez

Loved it, definitely coming back for more fried feta and to try other dishes.

uri

Make sure to try the sizzling feta cheese and the octopus in olive oil too

Paul Chang

Funny how the "first check-in" special unlocks $4.99 for a gyro but it's $4.99 every day!!

Billy Bennight

You get a regular card that entitles you to a free meal after 12 meal visits. Try the lamb yeros with tiziki.

The dolmas are just ok, but the pita and fried feta with tomatoes is outstanding!

Jenny M.

hands down best greek food in LA for the price. authentic greek market and restaurant . the lamb stew is to die for.

The Taste Sheriff

Greece of the ‘70s. Filthy, terrible food (gyros is disgusting), expensive . I only go there for the absolute basics (Greek cheese , pastitsio pasta , honey , etc.). Bad, bad, bad.

Gabriel Kim
