Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

This is, hands down, my favorite place to eat in Atlanta. Their gyro is quite literally the best thing I've eaten. I am a lover of Greek food and there are some fabulous ones in and around Atlanta- but I keep coming back here. Service is always great and atmosphere is very laid back. The restaurant itself is an open floor plan and very clean. Plus they offer half off bottles of wine paired with live entertainment on Saturdays. Do not skip dessert either. The honey suckle gelato is amazing. Plus it's made local. Try the goat cheese or honey fig and you won't be disappointed. I had my law school graduation celebration here with a party of 16 and they were accommodating and amazing! Christo himself came out and socialized with us and stuffed us with pastries and wine. It was the best!!!

Had the spanikopita and the gyro salad. The spanikopita was great and my gyro salad was also very good. Be warned, the gyro salad is a big portion. You are essentially getting a gyro (including pita and tzatziki) and a Greek salad. I probably could have done without the spanikopita, but I couldn't help myself. It was pretty quiet since I went around 5 on a Thursday, but the service was good. They also have a nice selection of draft beers. I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

I met good friends/clients at Christo's for lunch because they love this restaurant. I had never been and really enjoyed the food (which is Greek. My gyro salad was AWESOME!). But what made the experience absolutely impressive - was our waitress, Victoria. She was - from the start - upbeat w/great people skills :). And as we ordered, she must have REALLY LISTENED to not only WHAT we ordered, but HOW we ordered everything! I mentioned that my son would be joining us...he was running late so I ordered a gyro & FFs, saying to clients, "I'll eat those if my son doesn't, haha!" Well, my son ended up bailing (teenagers!) & I switched his order to TOGO status. When client's & my food came out, Victoria said, "I brought out your son's TOGO order since you mentioned the French Fries..." Well DONE, Girl!! Her service was ON IT in every other way! When I realized I had forfeited my fork w/appetizer clearing & was about to ask her for another - uh-uh!! She was already placing one at my side! I was a waitress. My skills pretty much STOPPED @ upbeat w/good people skills ugh!! Memory is STILL a development area 25 years later! So, not only is the food great - but my 1st try suggests this Christo guy knows what he's doing in hiring/training great waitstaff!

Attentive staff,excellent pizza and pasta. Greek potatoes are a nice change from fries and the gyros are off the chain. I have never had a bad meal here and the music on the weekends is excellent.
(5)Karen N.
Met for a business lunch and it was my first time there. The seating was roomy, great atmosphere and the food was absolutely fabulous. Had the meatballs as an appetizer and the open faced gyro for the entrée. Really delicious and authentically Greek! Be sure to leave room for dessert!!!

Maybe we showed up on opposite day. Bizzaro Christos? Maybe it's just my palate. tl;dr - The service was fine, but the food was terrible. Had a Scoutmob coupon and we were in the area. My wife and I both love Greek food so we gave it a shot. We ordered saganaki for an appetizer, and I'll admit, this one was my fault. The menu listed it as something like "Feta, tomato sauce, bread". We're used to saganaki being pan seared cheese (not usually feta) and set on fire at the table. "OPA!" You know the drill. This was a literal block of feta cheese sitting in the middle of some tomato sauce. I probably should have clarified, but I felt that saganaki was a distinct greek "thing" that was done one way. My bad. Then came the entrees. My wife's felafels were not quite raw, but runny in the middle. Squishy at the very best. My gyro was dripping in grease and the most flavorless piece of meat I'd ever had. It seemed like they were pre-sliced strips that were then pan-fried? Rather than your traditional spinning cone of deliciousness. Any way you slice it, the food was flavorless and terrible. We couldn't finish the meal. The whole experience came across as Greek food for people who have never had Greek food. The tomato sauce was pretty good, though.

Kouzina Christos is a huge Greek restaurant. They serve all sorts of Greek items from Greek Pizza to Gyros. I tried their Gyro plate. This plate was huge. I can eat a lot, and I could not finish it. It comes with about 3-4 thick slices of Gyro meat on top of a nice, warm pita bread. The whole thing is covered with feta cheese and tzatziki sauce. It came with some Greek potatoes, and they also added some veggies for you to ignore as well. I liked my Gyro plate. The Gyro seemed cooked well. I loved the taste. The pita bread seemed fresh and soft as well. And for $10, it was quite a bit of food. It felt like a good value to me. Next time though, I would just get the Gyro sandwich because the plate is too much for me. I didn't care much about the potatoes though, but you can ignore them. They're just a side item. For lunch or dinner, this place looks like a good place to go if you're feeling Greek. I'm not sure how authentic it is, but I liked it.

Previously known as Christo's Pizza and previously located in the Publix Shopping center (Delk Rd. and Powers Ferry Rd.), they have now changed their name to Kouzina Christos and also taken everything up one notch! I frequented Christo's when they were located in the Publix shopping center. While it's been awhile, the owner and a couple of the people have not changed. The FOOD. I've been to Christo's many, many times over the years. I've had their gyro salads, grinders, calzones, and gyro and chicken platters/wraps. I haven't tried their pizzas so I can't comment on that, but everything else I've had is awesome. I typically order a gyro something when I visit. A gyro salad, gyro wrap, or gyro platter. Their gyro rocks. The menu states that it's a mix of beef and lamb; I can't stand game-y meat so this is perfect for me! Anything gyro will be a HIT! The chicken, although legit, may be bland. All the flavor is going to come from the tzatziki sauce (which by the way, rocks!). And I think the chicken is bland whether you order a chicken wrap, a chicken salad, and a chicken whatever. I've tried both the wraps and the salad and it's been the same. [My husband prefers the gyro over chicken since it was too bland.] Basically, like I told my husband, you probably can't go wrong with the food. Most all of it has been very good! **They are generous with their meat - yay!** The DECOR. THEN - The ambience of this new place (located next to LA Fitness at the corner of Terrell Mill and Powers Ferry) is so different! I was used to that small restaurant tucked away in a shopping center with little space, some personality (cramped space, casual) and in a weird way ...cozy. What about NOW? Still, located in a shopping center (albeit a different shopping center), the restaurant has been taken up a notch in the gloriousness and is now industrial-like and a little fancy. All servers and managers who work there wear all black attire, and they now have a rack of wine which sits as decor in the restaurant. There is a chandelier which also hangs near the entrance. It's all of a sudden become a little more fancy and I may feel a little underdressed if I come in jeans and a t-shirt and sandals.... Oh! Now that they are in a location with industrial-like indoor, it is very loud. All the conversations reverberate and it's like one of those noisy restaurants you go to now. One thing I also want to mention is that this place seems more welcoming to dinner guests, whereas they were not previously... The SERVICE. Like anywhere you go, service really depends on the server! Back in the day (when they were located in the Publix shopping center), all the servers were quick, efficient, and on top of everything. They really had no choice because they always had people waiting to be seated. I was really disappointed today with our server. I had never seen him before (the other ladies that were at the other location appeared to be the same - quick, efficient, and on top of it). He was especially slow to greet us, get our order, check up on our drinks, and give us our check. From the time he took our order to us receiving our food was literally less than 5 minutes (which is what its always been). However, all that other time ... amounted to about an hour. I couldn't believe we were waiting for an hour!!! or more... All in all, the quality of the food remains and is great! Some of the servers (from the other location) are still great! The managers (same as before) are still great as they are extremely friendly. The new stuff... not so sure about. The prices have been upgraded and everything is at least a dollar or more expensive. The place is a lot more fancy (not black suit but just not as casual) - although I'm sure they wouldn't discriminate. If you don't mind paying $12-15 for a gyro sandwich and a drink and fries, this may be good for you, but if you're looking for an awesome sandwich at reasonable prices, this may not be your place. You decide! Gyro Wrap (no fries) - $8.95 Gyro Platter (open-faced gyro with fries or potatoes) - $10.95

Gyros are delicious & portions are generous! Pizza & salads are also amazing! Really everything is good! The patio may overlook the parking lot, but it is nicely laid out & comfortable. Always a great experience!
(5)Nelle P.
We've only had the gyros here, so we can't vouch for anything else. We were terribly disappointed in the gyros. Granted, there is a lot of meat, a lot, in fact, too much. It would be nice to be able to wrap up the gyro to eat it. Instead, it's open face and you have to pick at things before you can get it to the point of wrapping it up. It was all rather awkward. It comes with the slices of meat, 2 slices of tomato and the thick sauce slathered on top. I like my gyros with lettuce, onion, and tomato and the sauce a bit runny, not thick like sour cream. With all that meat, it sits a bit heavy on the stomach. My husband ate most of his and subsequently had a stomach ache the rest of the night. I opted to eat only half of it because I could tell it would stay with me for a very long time. At $10 a gyro, we felt it was a bit pricey. For that price we can get a much tastier healthier meal elsewhere. We won't be back.

I enjoy greek food. I have been trying to find a good place that would make good falafel and gyro. Gyro is my favorite at this place. However, they would charge you $5 for a small side of tzatziki sauce. Tzatziki sauce cost a little more than Ketchup when I make it at home so are you kidding me! Service is very bad, especially when Waldemy is in charge. We were advised by a server before not to come whenever he is at the restaurant. Can you imagine how bad it is to hear a coworker talking about the boss or another coworker to a customer. Last time we ordered calzone , it was cold from the inside. They cooked it in a high temperature oven without making sure the inside is cooked enough. When we asked to heat it back for us, we heard Waldemy making fun of our request. Falafel at this place is not crunchy inside and it is relatively big for a piece of falafel. The spices are pretty good though. When you asked about a side to add, they would give you different prices all the time. I think if the management can be more interested to follow with customers, this place will be one of the best in the area.

I've been in here twice. The first time my server was so bad that the owner got up from his meeting to help us because he noticed my whole table was sitting there with no drinks. We had food wrong, some of us never even got drinks. I ate nearly my whole plate of food with nothing to drink. Then when I was done I sat for at least ten minutes with dirty dishes on the table trying to get a check to leave. Several months went by and I decided to try this place again. I came in on a weekday about an hour before close by myself this time. I walked in the door and stood next to the "please wait to be seated sign." Was standing there nearly 5 minutes and got no acknowledgement from the staff. The only time anyone said anything is when I turned around to walk out the door. At this point the service has been bad not once but two timeline a row, so therefore I will never attempt to eat here again. It doesn't matter what kind of food they have if I can't get a table or service.
(1)Jason B.
This place is everything you're looking for in a Greek style place. The options are awesome, they are having a cheap beer special and very interesting daily good specials. The gyro plate is enough for two but you'll want to have it to yourself! Great service, modern style, high tech. Will be coming back again. Oh and after leaving some other nearby establishments with hour waits we walked right in and sat right down.
(5)Alex C.
$10 for a monster gyro, you can't go wrong. Service is a little lacking since there is a huge lunch crowd and not quite enough waiters, however our waitress was very nice! At $10, the gyro could come with a small order of fries, just for variety. The gyro itself tends to be big enough portion though.
(4)Denise J.
What a find, I love this place. The lamb gyro was so delicious, just the right amount of spice and so flavorful. Lamb chops are tender and tasty as is the pita bread, soft, warm, and filling. Great vibe, interior is clean, comfy, and great for groups or intimate enough for 2. Tonight there was an awesome singer songwriter, a wonderful addition to the atmosphere.
(5)Kelly W.
Food is great, portions huge, service, NOT. Rude and slow!
(2)Brittany B.
Love this place! the decor is pretty terrible.....but I guess I watch too much "Restaurant Impossible." Other than the crappy decor, the food is great, and I love that it is a small chain. I recommend it!
(4)Theo S.
First if all this place is not very Greek. The spinach pie was not made here but. Shipped in, really? They don't have Village salad or even Greek Coffee. I order the Greek potatoes which were dry and blend. No lemon at all that I could taste. I also ordered the Greek Salad which was nice and fresh. I'm did have to listen to the owner do a employee meeting (which should have been done before opening not when customers are trying to eat). Overall I don't recommend this . I will not come back.
(2)cord w.
The food was good but the live band (why would you destroy a nice restaurant with a live band? ) IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO LOUD!!!!!!
(1)Nikki A.
Seriously the best gyro I have ever had. I do not know why it took so long for me to come her end I will definitely be back soon. There are many other meals that look good but that gyro will always call my name.
(5)Alexandra A.
I always go to this place for the same plate: The Falafel plate. I can't give a better and longer review because I don't eat meat but I do think that their falafel wrap is very tasty. The decor is nice. The place is big, it seems like too big for the amount of people that visit it. At least that's my opinion because every time I go there there is only a few tables occupied. I never have to wait too long to be served or anything. Some waiters are nicer than others but that's ok.

I had been craving a really good gyro and saw a lot of good reviews for this place, so thought it was worth a shot. We went on a Friday night around 7:30. The restaurant was about 1/3 full with only about 10 tables and a couple of people at the bar. The decor seemed updated and clean, with a bit of a modern vibe. Once we were seated, It took at least 5 minutes for the waiter to come back with a booster seat and take our drink order (after another female server apologized a couple of times about the delay). About another 5-10 minutes later, we finally ordered the saganaki, two gyro platters (one with fries and one with Greek potatoes), an extra gyro for our daughter, a Greek salad, and a milk. They were out of milk, which seemed a little strange to be out of that kind of staple. After putting in our order, it took about another 10-15 minutes for the food to come out, with our saganaki appetizer only coming out about 1 minute before the rest of our food. Also strange that the typical saganaki, in my experience, has some fanfare involved with brandy poured over it and lit on fire with a hearty "Opa"! This saganaki was barely warm with a tomato type of marinara sauce and a few slices of pita. Everything was good (maybe just not what I'm used to from restaurants in Detroit's Greektown). The portions for the entree were a good size. I did notice the smaller gyro wrap didn't have lettuce like the platters. The tzatziki sauce was pretty good, but as another reviewer mentioned, was way over powered by dill, whereas you really lost the cucumber flavor. The pita bread was very good and soft, and the meat had good flavor, but was dry. The Greek potatoes had potential, but could've used some salt. The olive oil blend at the bottom of the dish had good flavor, so maybe just a bit more of that? The fries had good flavor and were seasoned well, but were cold and not crispy. After we were a few minutes into our meal, I noticed the waiter forgot our Greek salad. It took another 5 minutes for that to come out, but it was pretty good. Overall the dressing, feta and lettuce were tasty, but could have used more than 2 olives, slices of tomatoes and cucumbers for the portion size. We had to ask for the check twice, and when we got it the milk was on it and Greek salad was missing. When I mentioned to the waiter he said he took it off because he had forgotten it, which was much appreciated. But he had forgotten that they were out of milk and still charged us for it. He was apologetic and took it off, and seemed friendly, just a bit scattered. To sum it up, the food had some hits ( Greek salad dressing and pita), and many misses that were fairly close. But at the end of the day, the service was very lacking. Especially when they had 10 tables and 3 servers on a Friday night. That being said, we won't be back, and I have to believe I can find a better gyro much closer to my house with good service. Too bad though, because I was really looking forward to this place based on the reviews.
(2)Lindsay S.
Such an amazing restaurant. The Gyro platter is so good. Also highly recommend the bolognese. It comes with some if the best cheese bread. And add a salad with their homemade ranch dressing. Yummy.
(5)Jessica G.
I think I loved the old location more than the new one. And Sometimes paying on the iPad intimidates me and one time my husband clicked through too fast and didn't hit the tip button!! But food is amazing, my fave is the baked ziti. Husband loves the gyro platter. Wish they had a kids menu...
(5)David F.
I signed up for a yelp account just to submit this review. I would have gave it ZERO stars if that had been an option. I wish I have taken the time to read the reviews prior to going here. This place, which claims to have been voted to have the best gyros in Atlanta is a joke. I suspect any positive reviews posted were posted by the owner or employees trying to put a positive spin on this poor excuse for a restaurant. My fiance had been to the prior location before they moved to this location, and she said it was good at the previous location. Almost immediately after seating at our table, I suspected we were going to be disappointed, and should have walked out right then, prior to ordering. We went at 7pm, and were 2 diners out of a total of 6-8 customers. Despite the restaurant being deserted, it took awhile for the waitress to come over, and the food was a good wait as well. Her spaghetti and shrimp had watery pasta sauce, a whole bay leaf, olive pits, and at minimum 3 cloves of garlic in large chunks. My gyro was not served as ordered, and was extremely greasy. The tables were all dirty, appearing never to have been wiped down. No salt, pepper, sweeteners for iced tea, etc...on any of the tables. Leaves and other debris was visibly throughout the restaurant on the floor. The waitress was too busy selecting music on her Ipad to bring our check, so I sought her out so we could get the heck out of there. Zero tip for her, and my tip for you is to avoid this place at all cost. Service is terrible, food is terrible, the restaurant is dirty, and the premium prices they charge are ridiculous. We gave it a try....never again. If you choose to dine at this poor excuse for a restaurant, you've been warned. Many quality restaurants in Atlanta and Marietta to choose from....this isn't one of them. ZERO stars.
(1)Meredith R.
This is perhaps the best gyro I've had in Atlanta. Certainly the most filling. A generous portion of meat -- a mix of lamb and beef -- comes wrapped in pita. With tomato and tzatziki sauce, it's a three napkin meal. The individual pizzas which looked a tad small to me, were a hit, as were the salads. They have several to choose from. At lunchtime the large open dining room is bustling. This is obviously great for management, but not necessarily for clientele. The accoustics aren't great, and it's difficult to carry on conversation. (Next time we eat outside.) Through no fault of their own, the wait staff was somewhat harried and it took awhile for our orders to go through. If you've got time constraints, be sure to advise them when you sit down. While waiting to pay, I noticed a tray of baklava by the register. It looked very good. (After living in Astoria with all the fabulous Greek bakeries, I have a thing for Greek pastry.) All in all this was a good lunch. And I will return. I want the baklava.
(3)David P.
I'm not sure how people rate this place more than 2 or 3 stars, and I wish I could give it 5 stars since it's within walking distance from my house. But I've given it 2 tries and both times I was very disappointed. The ambiance is good, but that's where it stops. The pizza was worse than a frozen pizza and the calamari was tough and chewy. My wife had the falafel and it was almost inedible. The gyro platter isn't bad, but a bit on the greasy side. I really wish they'd improve the food quality because this a great neighborhood spot and it has potential. I hate being negative, but gotta be honest!

We have been going to Christo's for at least 12-13 years, maybe 14. Their new location is a nice improvement over the old location and does spiff the place up nicely, although the acoustics are a bit boomy. I think the feel of the place went from a family-run restaurant to a more commercial feel in the process. We have sampled some of the expanded menu (expanded when they moved). While we have no complaints, we keep coming back for the favorites. The gyros are the best I have had outside of Greece (where they are made with actual sliced, spit-roasted lamb rather than ground meat as is the way in the US). The meat is flavorful, with just the right amount of doneness, the pita, tender and warm, the tzatziki cooling and plentiful. It comes with sliced tomatoes and a choice of crumbled feta or sliced provolone are included in the price (even if you omit the cheese). I ask for mine with sliced raw onions too (at no charge). I also get the feta on the side or they put so much on that it overwhelms the sandwich. I posted a picture, although I couldn't help myself and took two bites out of the far end before I could grab my camera. It is tremendous. Yes, it costs $9-$10; but you do get what you pay for. I think that the hot pastrami grinder is surprisingly New-York-like in the quality of the pastrami. Not the Carnegie Deli or Katz's mind you; but a respectable texture, flavor and juiciness that you don't normally see in Atlanta. The grinder (or do they call them subs or heroes?) comes with mustard, cheese and shredded lettuce and tomato. No respectable pastrami sandwich comes with lettuce and tomato and you should be sure to tell them to omit them. That's like putting ketchup on the thing, for pity's sake. My young son loves their spaghetti Bolognese. It is more of a Greek meat sauce, made with lamb and seasoned with a touch of cinnamon. Not bad at all; but not Bolognese. We have enjoyed their Greek pizza. If you haven't had Greek pizza before, it is not like NY pizza, Italian pizza or even Chicago pizza. It has a yeast-risen crust; but it is kind of soft and thick. If you think of it as its own thing, it can be quite delicious. Try it with feta, tomatoes, gyro meat and maybe even artichoke hearts and now you're basking in its Greekness. Now for some gripes. They just started serving the gyros without the paper / foil wrapper to keep everything contained. Without it, it is impossible to pick this up and eat it without wearing it. You fingers puncture the pita, toppings fall on to your shirt. Sauce runs down your arm. It is so not-fun that I will not order it again unless they serve it as it should be. I had a sausage parm sub a while back and it was mostly a tomato sauce sub, with the sausage only covering about half the bread. Christo apologized and assured me that its not normally that way. He even offered to buy me one the next time; but I don't want a next time on that. At lunch, service can be very slow and the place gets very loud. Some of the servers have started being a little over-the-top on the up-selling recently too. With any luck, these issues can be avoided. I will continue to be a patron and continue to wake up from dreaming about those gyros.

I went in here for a to go order. I ordered 2 gyros. Unfortunately as I sat at the bar watching the cooks prepare the food I realized they don't wear gloves. I was kind of put off after seeing him reach into the lettuce bin bare handed and fondle my lettuce. He also did the same with the tomatoes and laid out all the bread. Another cook then came up to reposition the meat on the gyro. Again no gloves after coming from the back area. Needless to say I chose to pass. I told the manager that I would not be getting my order and why. All he said was he would pass the word on.
(1)Jonathan G.
I've been coming here since I was a kid and, while a little changed with the new location, the food truly hasn't. The pizza has the intense, explosive flavor of a deep dish with a totally unique texture that's not overwhelming. Other highlights would be the nearly perfect greek salad (seriously, from the texture of the feta to the dressing, it's incredible), some excellent meatballs and a brilliant marinara sauce, and definitely, definitely the gyro plate. The fries can be a bit soggy at times but the gyro is very flavorful and well put together. I can't really rave enough - while the new location doesn't always have the feel or service the place used to have, you really can't find anything bad on the menu. Every part of the food - the garlic bread, the cheeses, the sauces - is really just done exceptionally well. Not a spot to be missed.

This is my first visit since Christo's moved from the old location. The "re-boot" of this restaurant seems to be a very good thing. These new digs are huge! Spacious, even! And they have a slightly improved, still winning Greek menu with pizzas, gyro, and other savory goodies. This time, I had a roasted-chicken grinder, which was very simple, but tasty. My friend had the the half-roasted chicken with a side of veggies. It looked way too healthy and way too delicious. I don't know what they do to their chickens, but the roasting thing--they're doing it right. The pizzas look as good as they always have. And I have heard and continue to hear the gyros are outstanding. I'll have to try a gyro next time. Holler if you're coming with.

Poor service, cold food=disappointing visit to Christos. 4pm on a Sunday, not very busy; at least the food could have been good!!

Gyro is still good, but this place continues to decline at the new location. Getting seating is up to whatever waitress isn't too busy and if you want to to use cash to pay - be prepared to wait again. However the original waitresses are still great and the food is good. But it would be better if the old man that ran the old location still was in charge.
(3)Matthew L.
Food just as good as the old place. Maybe elevated the ingredients a bit. Greek salad and gyro platter--though not as big as it used to be--are both very tasty. Place was empty on saturday for lunch. Service was prompt and courteous.
(4)Norbert C.
Love this place and on Fridays you have an awesome grouper fish and chips you just can't get anywhere else.

There is something about this place that I just can't put my finger on. I could have sworn that I gave a review to this place already. The service here is usually pretty quick and nice. I have never have to wait for a table and my meal usually comes within 20 minutes even during lunch hour. I have only had the gyro and roasted chicken special. The gyro was huge and filled with meat (definitely one of the biggest I ever had). There was nothing special about the chicken special ( just dark meat quarter that was marinatted in herbs and oil). The chicken lacked flavor and was just oily. The greek potatoes are pretty good but they are dense and oily also.

First time here--we both ordered the gyro's. HUGE! The meat was piled on and nice and thick and flavorful. Loved it although at $8.95 for just the wrap, I would prefer a less generous portion and a lower price. I ate half there and took the other half home to avoid that guilty over ate feeling! If all food is really super generously sized, the prices are good. However, for me, if I spend a lot in a restaurant, I'd like atmosphere. This place is huge and the seating is not very appealing and the floor looked dirty. We were sitting right next to some kind of long spill that looked like it happened days ago. The kitchen is right out in the open and looks very clean which is fantastic as that is what matters but no ambiance in the dining area at all. And all that sits on the table are salt and pepper shakers. The flatware though was thick and sturdy--so many restaurants, even those higher priced ones, use thin, cheap flatware. The server did her job well but was not notably friendly. I would go back to try more of their food but probably get it to go.

I wrestled with giving this place 2 or 3 stars because the customer service is off the charts fantastic. But the food... Meh... The pizza used to be amazing but something is lacking now. On my last visit I ordered lamb chops. Not only were they bland and lacking ANYseasoning, they were not served with crustinis as the menu promised. My dinner companion ordered chicken parm. First off it was 2 large chicken fingers (fried) topped with sauce and cheese on top of noodles. There was no flavor at all. And chicken fingers for chicken parm? Really? As I listened to the kitchen staff arguing on what meat was to be used for the dish (obviously not chicken fingers) no one came over and offered to remake the dish correctly. The owner is a complete treasure! It's just sad that the food is lack luster at best.

The new location has really brought the best out of this great restaurant. The food has always been great, but in the last couple of months the new additions to the menu and the specials they have during the lunch and dinner hours have been exceptional. The patio is perfect for fall nights, and the spacious interior has plenty of room for all of your friends.
(5)Tami S.
Lunch with friends and the food was great, as always. Can't beat their Greek salad! While checking out (which I agree with some other folks is a bit of a pain because they are all tetchy with their iPads which a few of the wait staff have trouble with) I saw they have recently added baklava cheesecake to the dessert options. I decided to grab a piece to take home to my husband. It was AMAZING!!! I will definitely get it for dessert every time I go!
(4)Beth M.
We have been going to Christos for years and loved it! Picked up $100 worth of food last night and was so disappointed! We always get the gyro plate since its our favorite. This time was different, the meat was thick cut and greasy, the Taziki sauce tasted like it came out of a container and had lots of dill (never had that before) and the pita bread was totally different. We were eating with lots of other people and everyone agreed, Christos has changed :( we have been to the new location since they opened and had a great meal so things must have recently changed. Hopefully they will go back to doing what they used to do because they were awesome!! Now, not so much!!
(1)Bronson B.
We've been three times now, and overall, this is becoming a family favorite. The food has always been good. I generally get the gyro, and it is absolutely delicious. My wife will get a gyro or salad, and the kids get a cheese pizza. The biggest complaint I have is that it ALWAYS seems to take a long time to get a server to your table. On a recent Friday visit, the restaurant was busy but not at all full. Still, we waited 6 minutes after being seated before a server came by. And then it was ANOTHER long wait for our drink order. The kids were starving by the time we got our order in. As others have noted, if the place is more than 1/3 full, the noise level jumps up exponentially. We had trouble carrying on a conversation at our table. Add to that a pair performing on the patio who were glaringly tone deaf, and you have the makings of a bad dinner. The singing was so bad, my mother wanted to pay the girl to shut up. I think the female vocalist thought she was Patsy Cline reincarnated, but I think KD Lang is still fitting that bill. Anyway, if the restaurant had at least CLOSED the door to the patio, the noise (I mean song) level wouldn't have been as bad. But the place is poorly designed acoustically, Sound bounces all over the place. I'd say it's a good place to go on any night that's not too busy (week nights). I'd avoid it on a Friday or Saturday. I've been there at lunch, and it wasn't bad. But yes, someone needs to light a fire under the wait staff. Most Greek restaurants seem much more efficient in their service (knowing that with turned tables, more profit potential comes). But these servers seem to enjoy taking a break. I do give them props for using iPads to place orders and to bring you your check. You pay with a swipe right at the table and can easily add EXACTLY a 15% or 20% or more tip (or write in whatever amount you want). I like the technology. Only problem is that sometimes the servers don't ask if you want a receipt, and if they don't ask, I forget to ask, and I then don't enter the charge into Quicken. I think they need to provide the receipt automatically (or offer to e-mail).

This was my first visit here and I have to say that I overall enjoyed the whole experience. Absolutely love the life size Jesus tile mosaic leaning on the back wall. Not sure of the theme or how it ties in to Gyros, but maybe it's beyond me. He did help us bless our food, so we were happy. And the mix of 80s and 70s rock was critical in helping us enjoy ourselves! Menu was very diverse. I liked the fact that we had lots of choices and everything seemed tasty. I ended up with the antipasto and loved the simplicity of it. The meats were good and the balance of the cheese was perfect. Everything was fresh and seasoned just right. My friends all loved their pizza, Greek salad and chicken wrap. Overall we were please with the large Jesus, the resting bike against the wall, the great music on the PA and the food. Paid with their extra fancy iPad, automatically added a tip with a press of a button (love the no math idea...thanks to my public school education), and left for under 13 bucks with a full stomach. We'll be back soon enough.

Fantastic pizza, salads, gyros and other Greek dishes. The gyro pizza is unique. You can also create your own pizza, grinders and calzones. Family owned and been in business a long time but now in a new, larger location. Lunch business is very busy as it is a favorite with local business people and the military from Dobbins Navel Air Force Base.
(4)Shay H.
Gyro is the way to go. I get the salad and my husband gets the platter. My kids get appetizers as their meals and I like that it allows them choices like meatballs and lamb keftedes, which are out of the ordinary but kid-friendly. The servers are attentive and committed. We visit often for dinner on Fridays.
(5)K A.
Would be a 5 but its a little pricey for what you get.

Went here for lunch on Saturday 8/24 around 2. I enjoyed our server, I forget her name at the moment, but she was great, sold us on the specials, was very courteous. I got the fried butterfish special with fries, my GF got the fresh, sliced fried calimari and a salad. Both were very good. I got the butterfish because that's a dish I only have had at home, and only find that fish at Dekalk Farmer's Market, so this was much less work than frying it myself. That was really good, just breaded enough to stick together, and the fish were crunchy enough to just crunch and eat most of the bones, that's why I love butterfish. The calimari was also very fresh and didn't taste like some breaded crap that most places serve. Props to the chefs and I will be back if I'm in the area anytime soon. I also liked the ipad checkout system, very innovative for a non-chain place.
(4)Brooke R.
I love their Greek salad. We used to go to Christo's Pizza literally ever since I was born, so I've grown up with Christo's. This new location is nice, huge, loud and more modern than the old Christo's. The menu has more options, and I have been loving the falafel plate lately.
(4)Jeff C.
Went back tonight because I wanted to try the gyro wrap. The meat was very good, but the presentation is lacking. It came in a small baking dish instead of on a plate which made it tough to cut up & eat. It really is stuffed with meat, but at $9.99 without fries or Greek potatoes, I think it is over priced. If you want a gyro plate, then it is $11.99. Way too much. Service was okay. They weren't busy, but we had to wait for our waitress to finish up a couple of conversations. The older lady seemed to be more interested in the iPad than waiting on tables. Our waitress seemed to be handling the four tables inside the restaurant. I prefer the gyro at Nick's Place on Whitlock, but Nick's is a dump. We've been going here occasionally for about 10 years (Christo's before), but I don't think we'll be back at this point.
(2)Jan S.
Fantastic.....and reasonably priced. The best part is that they have gluten-free pizza and gluten-free pasta, YES pasta.
(5)Kate H.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST PIZZA EVER !!!!! When my father first moved to Atlanta in 1981, he discovered Christo's when they were off of Powers Ferry - and would go there for lunch during his work day. He then introduced it to us and I've been going there ever since. I used to go there with my Dad and brothers. Then as I got older, I would take my dates there. And then later on my husband and now my children. My kids grew up in the Delk Road location. And I love that they are back in the Terrell Mill area where it all began! I love the family environment. Their food is off the chart!! Their recipe for pizza hasn't changed in all the years I've been going there - and I'm soooo glad it hasn't!!! It is THE best pizza I've ever had. My brother out in Colorado gets so jealous because I still get to go there - he wishes they could Fedex it to him! If you want a great family resteraunt to go to - I highly recommend Christo's! I love these guys like my own uncles !!! RIP Sandy... My kids and I miss seeing you when I come to eat my pie!!
(5)David A.
Really good gyros. Pretty loud place now that they have moved. Not sure if they are done renovating or if it the look they are going for. When the new place opened they had a male host who would lead the ladies by the arm to their table. Seemed a little weird and a bit uncomfortable but the last few times we went he wasn't there. We would joke about the creepy guy before we would go there....
(4)Carly L.
Food was good. A little messy. Service was not the best. Good atmosphere. I'd go back.
(3)Dave B.
This place is still awful. Overpriced, horrendous service and just terrible food. Pretty much a detriment to the Atlanta restaurant community. I am amazed how successful they are despite their failures on every level.
(1)Richard W.
Best gyros in town, PERIOD!
(5)B S.
Awesome place and new location. I went for lunch and had a pizza, it was plenty for the three of us. I was very impressed with the crust, great job.
(5)Hambri Enta M.
It is a decent location. Really big place. Mqanager or owner and staff were very friendly. It took a bit for the servers to see I was seated.
(4)Joseph W.
Zero would be the only rating I would ever give this establishment. Never do I/we complain or send back food at a restaurant. Never have I wrote a review about how poor service and ownership was at a particular establishment, but never have I been more disgusted by the food quality, service and ownership of Kouzina Christo's. I remember when I went to the old Christo's when it was in the same shopping center as Publix. When I ate there at that particular time and ordered a standard gyro with no cucumbers, and the owner at the time said "Blondes are always such B******!" Because of my rare food allegory to seeds. Yes, the owner called the customer who pays his bills a B****. So at the time I said to myself I will never go back. Almost four years later have passed. So the other night I came back in town from a long business trip and my girlfriend and I wanted to go hang out with some friends and get some pizza and beer. SO since my friend lives near there we decided Christo's would be the place to go. We arrived at 7:40 PM Order calamaris to start off with took about twenty minutes and it had had absolutely no breading seemed to have never been fully cooked, along with the fact it was the thickest cut calarmari I had ever had. So that was just the beginning. From there it was a snowball effect, We saw the owner help a fugly older women to stand on the bar and the owner was taking pictures of her acting like she was the cover of playboy and two feet away another couple was eating their meal. I maybe a bit of a germ freak, but I would never think someone should be standing (especially posing) on a counter where people eat everyday. Check out the video on youtube... youtu.be/5-n58jy0oNk At about 8:45 we had not seen our waitress for over twenty minutes... well let me be more clear. I did see her walk out the back of the restaurant with the owner and two other Greek mafia wannabes to either smoke a cigarette or who knows what else they were doing back there. In that time our pizzas and the rest of our orders were sitting on the counter for pick up since 8:35. At about 8:55 we ask another waitress if our three 10" pizzas were ready and yes those were the pizza sitting on the counter for over twenty minutes, she picked them up and served them to us without plates, and without the rest of the order which we did all order at the same time. I guess at Christo's salads and a basic chicken wrap take longer to make than three 10" pizzas. Though they said that our orders were still not ready, though clearly they were, because we saw them bring us the exact same plates that were sitting up there at the same time our pizzas. So not sure what they were all thinking or telling us. SO over an hour without our entree we said and not seeing out waitress we said we would like to speak with our manager. Once we say this, the next thing you know our waitress comes out looking as if she were on something ;(). Minutes after the cook or some sleez (who again looked like he were on someting as well comes out to apologize, and says we will comp all the drinks. YES ALL THE DRINKS, at the time there were six of there and we had three pitchers. I know how the restaurant business works, much of the profit comes from drink sales especially alcochol. Just after that the cranked up waitress comes over with another pitcher saying this one is on the house as well. SO we thought "ok, everything will work out." We get our check and it says we need to pay for two pitchers and they only comped us one and the last one we did not even drink that they had given us for free. SO we ask to speak with the owner, and he comes over and no joke all seriously starts yelling at us saying "in what world do you think you should get four pitchers for free." Well in our heads we were thinking... We thought this because five minustes before this time they were telling us we would have all our drinks comped. So the owner is yelling at us I again pull out my phone and start recording he notices that I was recorded and and he starts saying I am disrespecting the restaurant as if he were so insecure about what had happen. So my friends were so embarrassed they just decided to pay the check, but I wanted to make it perfectly clear how awful of an establishment it was and the experience we had. So again my girlfriend's and I never, never send back food and on this occasion we still did not return or send back my girlfriend's cold uncooked, mushy falafel and asked him to taste or try the food as he does not answer, and continues to struggle opening the bottle of wine which he was pouring for himself. Says a lot about when an owner drink at his own establishment, let alone what else goes one after hours if he allows a fugly women to stand on a bar during normal hours. SO I hope this helps others to never eat here, because we will never go back and will do everything we can to get others not te eat here as well.

I have been eating at Christos for over 20 years. I love the food, but the service has become terrible since the move. Waited 15 minutes today at lunch, at the bar, and was never greeted by my waiter. Hosted brought me water after I asked if anyone would be helping. Got up and left, may not go back. Seems to be too large a restaurant for the size of the kitchen and staff.
(2)Mimi C.
Love, love, love Christos! The food is so yummy. Very flavorful from the fries, to the pizza, to the gyros! Excellent customer service as well. Pierre was ready with anything we needed. Took a little bit to get our food and check, but well worth the wait.
(4)Kellie M.
LOVE THIS JOINT! While working near there first location off of Delk Road I was introduced to Christos. I immediately fell in love! I'm a big fan of Greek Food, as well as many other foods, but when they do it right it keeps me coming back. They moved to a larger location sometime after being introduced. This was great due to the MOB of people that you would always find there! The new location is super cool. The atmosphere is kind of industrial chic. They have booths as well as tables. Great place for a group! I always get the Gyro Salad. I really want to try other things but this has got such a hold on me! The Gyro meat is always fresh and perfectly cooked. The salad is HUGE and filled with all of the normal greek things that you should find in a Greek salad. Oh, did I mention the potato salad??!! Yes folks they do it the right way here! You will find potato salad in the Greek salad! I have also hired Christos to cater an event. They did a marvelous job! They even threw in a couple extras. The owner "Christo" is always roaming around the restaurant. LOVE this guy! Super friendly and truly cares about making his customers happy!
(5)Matt D.
Food is usually very good. Excellent, actually. But the service is terrible. At 1:00 PM I sat at the counter and didn't even get acknowledged before I walked out at 1:15. And frankly, there was plenty of staff around ignoring me. Even in the okay days, the service is inept. Grouchy waitresses and teens who are too stoned to pay attention to you. My glass is often left without a refill, or silverware must be requested. It's a shame. But when it's good, it's really good. The gyro platter is simple but excellent quality and is the same every time. The grinders are all very good with ample meat and crunchy toasted rolls. The specials are interesting and present a variety of dishes for the regular crowd. And the owner himself is a trip. Watching him yell at his staff is always a show, albeit awkward to see.
(3)Jessica Y.
I've been going to LA Fitness next door for the longest time and never noticed this place! Walked in and I surprised at how big this place really is. I went in for a late lunch and ordered a gyro salad. It comes with pita bread as well. It was definitely enough food for sure. The prices range from low to mid teens. Overall, decent food if you are ever craving greek. Payment is done through ipad and they will gladly split the check for you.
(3)Lindsey T.
As you can see here yelp.com/biz/christos-pi… I've been a long time lover of Christo's. I never realized how much I liked their old location until I visited their new location. The mom-and-pop feel of the previous location didn't make it's way to the new location and maybe that's what they were going for. I'm happy that their business did well and they were able to move and expand plus the original waitresses still work here and it's always nice to see them as well. The new location has an industrial type of design, high ceilings, industrial chic interiors and it can get very loud inside. I usually opt to sit outdoors if the weather permits or just call in for takeout. The food is still exceptionally good and I cannot get away from the gyros, white pizza and greek salad. To sum it up same great food just a different vibe than the previous spot.
(3)Adam A.
Pricey lunch - $10 for a soggy grinder, $15 salads. This is a pizzA place on terrel mill in Marietta, not Buckhead!
(3)Chris H.
Great food and excellent service. Calzone and GF Pasta was delicious. Fresh cut French fries are great as well. Great place for good food
(5)Holly H.
Their Gyro was voted best in ATL and I understand why. Unique addition of crumbled feta melts over the seared gyro meat for and awesome treat! Go and enjoy!!!!
(5)AnDrea H.
Yummy! A pure DO! Fresh cut french fries done right! They even have gluten free options! Don't let the fact that this is in a strip mall area detour you! ;) We were serviced by the Owner's son, he did a fine job, so I can't speak for the others. We had a nice experience. Typical Greek fare at its yummiest!
(5)Mel J.
The chicken gyro was really good ... Nice portion ... The fries were pretty good. The sauce was on point it didn't taste like ranch like most places I'd visited. I'd definitely come again!

Kouzina Christos is a popular Greek and Mediterranean restaurant located in the Terrell Mill Village shopping center, next to LA Fitness, near the intersection of Powers Ferry Rd. and Terrell Mill Rd. The restaurant used to be known as Christos' Pizza and was located in the nearby Delk Spectrum shopping center with Publix. Christos has been a Marietta favorite for decades. It's named after the owner, Christos Giannes. I frequented the old location on Delk Rd. for lunch with my coworkers for many years. The current location opened Spring 2012 and we continue to return. While the menu and food are the same (still very good), the physical space for the current location is a vast improvement over the old one. The old location was a small casual joint. It kind of felt like a deli or diner. At lunchtime, it often got cramped. The current location is big and spacious. The place can better handle large groups now. It's also nice. It has a long bar, open kitchen, and flat screen TVs. There's an outdoor patio and a dessert display. Plates and silverware are high quality. The atmosphere remains casual even though the surroundings have sophisticated. Christos is popular for its gyros. I order the gyro almost every time I go. Other menu highlights include salads, falafels, grinders (New England term for sub sandwiches), pasta, pizza, calzones, and desserts including local Honeysuckle Gelato and Greek desserts like baklava. Expect to spend about $10-15 per entree. At lunchtime, this isn't cheap. Unfortunately, there aren't separate lunch and dinner menus. The only lunch exclusive is the 6-inch pizza. If you've got a huge appetite, the gyro plate ($11.95) is the way to go. The plate includes an open-faced gyro with rotisserie beef and lamb, tomato slices, feta cheese, tzatziki sauce, and pita bread. It comes with a side of fries or Greek potatoes. I've had both the fries and potatoes and both taste good. The potatoes are cut into wedges. They give you so many, it's almost like eating an entire potato. The wedges are seasoned and sauteed and come out from the kitchen hot and glistening. If you want to downsize, get the $9.95 gyro. It's not as big nor as overwhelming as the gyro plate and it also comes with a side of fries. It filling. I think Christos' gyro is very good. The ingredients are generally fresh, the feta is amazing, and the meat is savory. The ordinary pita bread could use some work. Whether Christos' gyro is the best in Atlanta is debatable. In Marietta alone, I think Nick's Session Street Grill makes a better gyro, but the dining environment and seating/parking situation at Nick's is completely different to Christos'. Another dish at Christos which is great is their Greek salad which comes with Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, cucumber, Salonika peppers, dolmathes, and a housemade Greek vinaigrette. The veggies are fresh, crisp, and ripe, making for a flavorful salad and one of the better Greek salads I've tried anywhere. Check out the specials on the chalkboard as you enter. Some are worth trying. I once had the housemade bolognese sauce over pappardelle pasta. It's a simple dish (meat sauce + pasta) that's filling. It's $8.95 and comes with a side salad. Try one of the restaurant's desserts. They have fresh-baked baklava, chocolate eclairs, and fruit tarts. There are two varieties of baklava, the regular style and shredded. The shredded baklava is more dense. Service is fine. Payment transactions are completed using iPads.

I wish I could do 1/2 stars on yelp. This restaurant deserves more than 3 stars but not quite at 4.. Yet! First off, restaurant is a lot bigger on the inside than it seems from the outside. I got the lofty feeling once I was in there due to the Exposed heating ducts, high ceilings and cinder blocks. The food was OK. I ordered the falafel plate which had good flavor. Couldn't tell if it was baked or fried but the inside remained moist. Good flavor to the chick pea mixture, seasonings were on! Served on the bottom was pita bread, with lettuce, tomato and feta cheese on the top. One Pet peeve of mine is when restaurants don't allow substitutions. Especially on non complex items like roasted potatoes -__- Being that I had just come from the gym, I wanted to keep it low carb and get a Greek salad instead of the potatoes it came with and they wouldn't allow it. Overall decent experience. Just didn't get a true Mediterranean feel. Lacked some genuine touch!
(3)Carmen B.
They have a nice selection from Greek salads to gyro's and pizza on the menu. Was a welcoming experience.
(5)Bruce K.
Sometimes, you just really want a gyro. There's something about meat cooked (or at least warmed) on a spit, sliced and served with yogurt and feta cheese. And today, that was exactly what I wanted. Christos hit the spot, sharing a shopping center with a massive fitness center (that took up much of the closer parking spaces) and a Starbucks. It's a large restaurant with tables and booths. Polished floor and simple decorations with an exposed kitchen made the place feel not just welcoming but also very clean. My waiter took my order for beer (Mythos, brewed in Greece!) and then the dinner order. I chose the Gyro Plate, which comes open faced and I chose the Greek Potatoes as my side. A lot of food on the platter when it arrived not 5 minutes later. It might be hard to tell from the picture, but there was plenty of sliced meat underneath the crumbled feta and tzatziki sauce. Not over done or crispy, the meat was tender and sliced perfectly. Is it authentic Greek? No, not really. But it was tasty and that's what counts for me.
(4)Jovan M.
Great good and great space. The staff has always provided great service and the family has always made sure the food is great. Good selection of beer and wine compliments the food. My only wish is for dolmades, but I'm probably in the minority.
(4)BeerMe S.
I would have given the place 4 stars for quality, but 3 gyros with one small salad (no drinks) SHOULD NEVER cost $40.00!!! Oh, did I mention one gyro was just meat, no bread or toppings. They have upcharges for everything, including not wanting anything but the meat. They dont give you enough sauce, so guess what, there is an upcharge for extra. Place has been not been that affordble since they moved into new space and left the old good but cheap location. Very sad!
(2)Ambra F.
Came here for lunch with my daughter. Ordered the meatballs and lamb Gyro. And I must say it was delicious! My 11 month munched on the meatballs and gyro and loved them. The service is a little slow. I recommend coming in around 1pm! Going to have to come back!
(4)Nick G.
Okay, so the story is that I loved Mykonos in Doraville if I wanted Greek. Found out they were pushed out of the property lease and had to shut down. That led to browsing for a new Greek restaurant. This place is fairly close for us and had decent ratings so we gave it a shot! The main disappointment was that they don't have celebration cheese, the kind where they light it on fire and it tastes amazing! Beyond that, the staff was nice, the restaurant was clean and well done. For my palate, there was far too much dill on everything. However my girlfriend loved the dill. So overall it was a good experience, the wine list was pretty good as well. I'd say its a great place if you like dill!
(3)Amanda N.
I have been going to this place for years!!! The food is very unique and there is always something on their special that is new to try. I love greek food and this is the only place that is local who serves and prepares it just right! It good for a lunch date or even a date night with hubby.
(5)Cindi M.
We had Gyros, I had beef, Rick had chicken. A small Greek side salad, Rick got fries....I was starving but could only eat half! Great food, good service. Nice patio.
(5)Darrell G.
Best Greek restaurant in town if you asked me. I had the gyro platter and the toasted ravioli yesterday for lunch. I was so hungry and the meal was so good I almost ate the plates they were on. Highly recommended.
(4)Dominique P.
Really good food! Roasted salmon salad and gyro platter was excellent. Huge portions, cute atmosphere, fantastic menu. I'll only make the trip here for my Greek cravings......
(5)Joy S.
Have you ever had service so incredibly bad you thought you were on some hidden camera show? Sadly, we didn't make it onto tv but yes, Christos, you were THAT bad. I was having an early dinner here with my family on Saturday night before we headed out to go bowling We were kind of excited to eat here because my brother actually used to work at the old Christos way back in the day and I spent many evenings there with my friends during high school. This location is definitely a step up from the old one and we really like the dressy warehouse feel of it. But the service unfortunately ruined it all. Our server was nice enough but that's where it ends. Here are some of the highlights... I specifically ordered a wine under the white wine section (I couldn't pronounce it so I pointed to it). I was brought red. My brother asked how much a small side salad would cost a couple of times and was told $5. My SIL orders one and asks "how much?" $3. So random. It took 3 tries for my SIL to get the actual salad she ordered. In the meantime, I was given a 2nd salad that was placed directly in front of the salad I was currently eating with no explantion. Again, so.incredibly.random. But here is the ultimate kicker! A $23 pizza somehow got added to our bill! We would'nt have caught it if it hadn't been for my Mom asking me to look over the bill since she had such a difficult time reading the ipad screen that apparently subsitutes for a check there. And the server stood there quietly waiting for payment as we scrolled through the bill. Awkward. Stick to ordering the pizza or the gyros, don't even think of ordering the pastas. Watery and bland. I hate being so negative but it's possibly the worst spaghetti I've ever had to pay for. Only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because the decor/ambience is nice, there was a fun band playing that night that provided some much needed distraction, and my brother said he actually really enjoyed his meal. Sadly though, that probably won't be enough for us to return.

This is a nice little spot tucked in Marietta that is a combination of trendy but at the same time has a neighborhood feel to it. Its' décor is modern but it's located in the burbs. They did a great job of making the city come to, well, outside the city! The food was yummy. They boast that they're the #1 spot in Atlanta for gyros, and I think the food did this statement justice. I had their falafel gyro and it didn't disappoint. The falafel came out fresh and warm, with a great crispy texture balanced with an ideal soft center. The seasoning was perfect. I also really liked the tzatziki dressing that they dribbled on the gyro, it was paired very well with the falafel. We had ordered toasted ravioli as a starter per the high recommendation of one of our friend's at the table. I've never had toasted ravioli before so didn't have anything to compare it to, however for a first, it hit the spot, and something I will definitely get again. The service was very good. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and did a great job with additional drink and food requests that we had through the night. The music was also another bonus. We didn't' know that there would be live music going in, but it was a cool surprise. A young guy named Bobby Jones performed and his music was nice and not overbearing for a dinner environment. If you're a gyro aficionado, or even a newbie, check out Christo's!

Have been meeting to try the new location since it opened a few years ago, but as I live in Sandy Springs... I very rarely make it over to Marietta these days. I tried the new location at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a weekday, so needless to say it was pretty much a ghost town when I arrived. The new location is about the same size as the old one, but it's definitely done with a more modern feel. The sad truth is I never actually got to try their infamous Gyro when I ate at the old location growing up, so that was on my agenda for this trip. The only server working Waldermir (sp?) was about as friendly as you can get, and he really made the experience that much better. The gyro was REAAAALLLY good. Juicy lamb, great flavor. My only issue was eating it all!! Overall I'd say both the food and the service were a hit. If I ever find myself over in Marietta, this will definitely be my go-to lunch spot!
