Anar Aigburth BBQ Restaurant in Liverpool

I was blown away by the quality of food and service here. Every dish was flavorful, the portions satisfying, and the ambiance was as welcoming as the staff.

Myself and my family came here for my son's 17th birthday. We booked a Greek night. We didn't get a Greek night. We got half an hour of Greek night where the belly dancer came out and she was good, then the rest of the night went downhill, they played extremely loud dance music. We felt like we were in a rave! We waited an hour for our starters, when they brought the mains they hadn't even cleared the starter dishes and gave us no cutlery. We were told if we booked for 7.30pm we would have finished eating by the time the Greek dancing starts. But because they were so slow in serving, we ended up trying to eat our mains with people dancing literally on top of our heads to YMCA. I didn't eat my mains, I couldn't relax and enjoy myself. I asked the bar man if I could speak to the Manager. He asked what was wrong so I explained, "I've paid for a Greek night but didn't get a Greek night, that's a night club". He asked me, "How do you know it's not a Greek night". I told him "because I've been to them before and I'm Greek so I know what to expect". The Manager came over and I had to shout over the music. He told me not to shout at him. I explained I wasn't shouting at him, I was shouting over the music. I told him the problem, his response was, "What do you want me to do? my son is in hospital having an operation so we can't do the Greek night". Then as a business you should hire someone else and give people what they pay for! Some of my family travelled a long way for this joke of a Greek night. The Manager then asked me my name, and asked where my family where from because I told him I was Greek Cypriot. He started talking to me in Greek and I told him, I was born in this country so don't speak fluent Greek. He carried on talking in Greek and I understood some disrespectful words. To not cause any problems as it was my son's birthday, I thanked him and went back upstairs. He said he would put some Greek music on. He put one Greek song on. Incredibly disorganised and poor service. Needless to say, we won't be back. A very disappointing night indeed. In response to your reply, this review was left last year, 1st July 2023!

Food and service was lovely, the restaurant is big and spacious. Only complaints are the price of a 330ml bottle of Mythos and the portion sizes which imo was on the small side. Lovely place to go though.

My sister and her boyfriend, Rob and Grace have been ranting abour this pkave for years, they brought me here tonight, i met Chris and Dio andhe lovely staff, Rob and Grace were right thr food is out of this world, i had the mixed kebab and loved it, really look forward to coming here again

We arrived with friends. Very warm welcome. Excellent meat

Fabulous food, great service. Never disappoints

Awful. Pathetic service. Food allergies not taken into consideration even though the restaurant had prior notification. The wrongly prepared meal was charged for. One meal had been forgotten. We will NEVER visit again.

Great Food and great service by Dio and Claudina.

My favourite place. Absolutely brilliant every single time

The food was ok imo but definitely had much better. Went on a Saturday around 5pm with no reservations he gave it a thought and squeezed us in. The pork souvlaki dinner description says it comes with a salad which i think was more of a garnish. I was expecting at least a garden salad. Great amount of meat but sides are a bit light. If this was fixed it’d be much better.

Absolutely disgusting arrogance and one the worst restaurants we've ever visited. Christakis is over priced and hyped unfortunately. Party of 15 and everyone had been served rubber reheated cheap meats, Manager wasn't interested, no wonder they keep closing down all over Liverpool then reopening elsewhere!! Inadequate dishes not worth the money when there's better restaurants around. service was slow and not acceptable, I wonder hmrc have any idea what there up too?? companies house many folded restaurants under the same name I can only imagine it's the owner not paying his way towards business taxes🤫

Phoned to book for the mid week early evening menu, as advertised on the Internet. It's discontinued so heading for a cheap tea elsewhere.

Food was lovely but portion size has been reduced since our last visit which was a little disappointing :( The staff as usual were lovely and attentive so I can’t fault them there <3 The starter & main deal for £15 has been discontinued which would be okay if portion sizes remained the same but now it’s less food for a higher price. The atmosphere is very chill and comfortable for an early dinner :) Uncertain whether we’d return!

Great restaurant with friendly staff. Brilliant atmosphere, with an exceptional menu. Certainly recommend and hopefully plan to visit again when we return to Liverpool.

Love Christakis,went for a works celebration for my birthday, food kept coming, meat platters, fish platters, hummus nice bread, was stuffed, service was friendly and quick 😋

Had a meal at Christakis last night and can't fault it. We had the meat platter for 2 which was delicious and great value for money. The service was also great , with staff being attentive and friendly at all times. We will be back.

Honestly brilliant, £20 for a good Meze in 2024 is an absolute bargain, food is great, service is great, Baklava was 👌 We will be back.

To start off the food was absolutely brilliant but the service was far from good. We were taken straight to our table and promptly had our drinks taken and orders by a waiter who seemed lovely. That was the last we’d seen of our waiter, other than having our starter and mains plates cleared up, we received no other service. We spent close to 30 minutes trying to get the attention of the waiters to have a look at the dessert menu. I understand that waiters are set to their areas or specific tables, however our original waiter and other waiters seemed to ignore our table. We saw every table around us served promptly, asked about how their meal was and two even received their bill before us even though we came in much earlier. It got to a point where we started feeling our experience go down significantly as I had to go up to the bar to ask for a dessert menu, which unluckily wasn’t to our taste, however we didn’t care at that point. After going up, the waiter finally appeared so we asked for the bill, but to round things off, we received the wrong bill. Upon receiving the correct bill, I asked for the card machine and the waiter read the cost of the bill in front of me and my partner and personally I would prefer not to have my partner know the cost as it was obvious I was going to pay. The food generally here is quite good and the price is fair. However, the service was extremely poor for me was was made worse as every other table around us got served promptly.

Excellent food! Compliments to chef Maria 😊

The food was amazing, especially the starters. loved it there definitely recommend 10/10

Food superb and great staff - particularly Charlotte. She made such an effort with our little girl (Called Charlotte!) We’ll definitely be back again.

Lovely early bird 2 course food 😋

Amazing food. Not been before, great friendly staff. Good price

Another great meal at Christakis. Greek salad and Pork kebab were top 💪

Charlotte was absolutely amazing and very attentive to our party. Nothing was too much for her. The food was also incredible

Guys behind were top service. So good!

AVOID!! Food hygiene risk. Served half-cooked meat!

We went at 3pm for the early bird special - a starter and a main for £10! What a steal 👌🌟 the chicken kebab was so juicy and well seasoned. The halloumi option had grilled vegetables and a tasty sauce too. There were plenty of options to choose from - I’d recommend the spring rolls for a starter (they’re cheese in filo pastry with honey) - so tasty.

Staff were so helpful and could not have done more for us. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Lovely place ,nice food friendly staff and very reasonable 👌

Excellent food, and the service is courteous and friendly. However, they did get our order wrong ~ twice! Even so, don't be put off. This is one of the best Greek restaurants that you will find.

Very friendly caring staff food great and the price as well

Nice atmosphere and the staff really friendly and helpful. The food is lovely straight of the grill. Home made chips would give it 5 star

Great night, food and staff were amazing. My son loved it, staff showed him how to plate food up and made a big fuss of him, i will be back very soon.

Fantastic value for money, early doors menu is brilliant value. Either way really tasty food

We went for my sons 21 st yesterday first time for us food was nice service good staff lovely we will go again

12 kids 9 adults great service and great food the staff were brilliant everything was perfect thank you.

Visited for the first time on Tuesday at 7pm, we weren’t disappointed. You can’t beat there starter and a main £10 deal (only available during the times listed). We had hummus, feta cheese spring rolls and chicken kebab. The food was top class and portions were big enough. All the staff were very friendly and you can tell it’s a good place to work. Considering the cost of living has gone up, it’s nice to be able to go out and eat somewhere which isn’t going to rip you off like other places. This place was top class and we will definitely be back.

Food excellent. Service excellent

Excellent food and service many thanks would definitely go back 👍🏽

Great food, great atmosphere. Went to celebrate my wife's birthday with 3 kids in tow and we had a brilliant evening.

Just had one of the nicest Greek meals ever. Lovely atmosphere. A lot of very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful cooked food staff lovely very clean place best food I've had for long time

Great evening and so much food and all very tasty. Was upstairs in the party area and had a great time and the atmosphere was spot on 👍

Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Went with my boyfriend to treat him and had a wonderful time. Can't wait for many more visits to Christakis in the future, definitely becoming one of my favourite places to eat!

What an a amazing experience. We've paid £18 per person and we could not eat everything that came. A lot of tasty food for an amazing price. We've ordered the Greek Meze, and I would recommend the plate to everyone that is not familiar with Mediterranean food, as you can try a little bit of everything.

Top notch service. Great value for money. Scrumptious food. Generous portions.

Very disappointed with the food .

Great early doors meal tonight. Food and service very good. Well worth a visit.

This was excellent Value great service and lovely food.big portions

Just had a fabulous meal. Starter and main for £10 is an absolute bargain for brilliant quality food. Thank you for a great evening.

Lovely food, each course was spaced out well to give you a breather. I would definitely recommend

Great food at reasonable prices. Service was excellent

Wish i had more stars to put up, omg seriously amazing food, took me back to my childhood living out in Cyprus, the flavours are amazing, the portions are great, the atmosphere incredible, just go here; don’t think about it just go

Food was plentiful and tasty, I have rated it 3 stars due to grease on floor by barbie area. I had an awful fall and thought I had broken my wrist, legs went from under me and I was only wearing flat boots. I was out for family meal and had minimal alcohol. What upset me more was that Mangerment did not ask me if I was ok, they couldn't wait to get me out. Just watch how you go and where you step here especially near barbie area. Would never return.

My meal came early but my other family members had to wait 2 hours later for their meal and on the menu it says kinda beuno cheesecake and I was really looking forward to it and the waiter says we don’t sell that 🤨 then why is it on the menu?

Went for my friends 40th birthday, staff and food were great. Definitely recommend it!

Staff are nice and locale looks fine. Chargrilled meat is decent enough but the mezze and moussaka are a bit sloppy.

Fantastic evening, food was delicious, entertainment was great and Maria our waitress was an absolute super star.

Had great night lovely food (with Gluten Free on almost everything) and fantastic staff - well worth a visit, if you can good for the meze upstairs when the dancing is on, very entertaining!

Great food, great atmosphere, excellent evening ,looking forward to another visit.

Went for a 60th party, had the upstairs area, food was excellent, service was great, nice friendly atmosphere. Also had a belly dancer, who was fantastic. Definitely recommended.

Amazing food, brilliant atmosphere, lovely staff!!

Beautiful food, very attentive staff and excellent private function room

Incredible food, great service and lovely ambience. Definitely recommend Christakis! Those feta spring rolls are a must try 👌 (Gifted Collab. all opinions are my own)

The atmosphere, service and food was excellent.

Everything was good, the feta spring rolls excellent 👌 Service was exceptional. Very good value for money.

Great food, great setting and really attentive staff. Great to see the bbq in the front of house area

Absolutely amazing Greek restaurant! I've been to many Greek restaurants in Liverpool that I would say are average (being Greek I have pretty high standards!) However Christakis is by far the best Greek restaurant in Liverpool by miles. The food is delicious, portion sizes are great, and the staff are extremely attentive and friendly. Couldn't recommend it enough, you won't be disappointed if you go 👌🏽 thanks again!!

Staff very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and lots of it. One of the nicest restaurants around this area.

Amazing food amazing place to visit so friendly would definatley recomend 100%. Best meal had in a long time . Well done Christakis will be back soon for more fab food.

Not often that we come across a restaurant by chance and decide to eat there again the following evening! Busy restaurant but despite no reservation found us a table. Excellent friendly staff, superb food cooked within sight and amazing service. Generous portions at a very reasonable price. Having never tried Greek food we tried the Meze which was amazing so we booked for the following evening to try the fish platter which didn't disappoint. Again staff, service and food superb and restaurant packed again. We know where we will be dining the next time we stay in Liverpool!

Great food and good value for money

Visited this restaurant twice now. The food is delicious, big portions, excellent value for money. Brilliant atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Food delicious. Staff pleasant. Music too loud.

Nice place good value for money 👍👍👍

We were staying in the Travel lodge directly opposite, and were planning on having a quick meal at the Toby Carvery next door but it was full so we tried Christakis, and thank God we did. Fantastic food with extremely generous portions and very friendly staff, what more can you ask for? Recommended!

Excellent. Food absolutely delicious & great staff. Highly recommended.

We used to go to Chistakis former restaurant on Smithdown Road so when they opened on Aigburth Road we wanted to give it a try. Went for early evening menu thinking it would be fairly quiet, it turned out to be quite busy. Must admit, the early menu at £10 for two courses is a bargain. Although restricted there is still plenty of choice on this menu. There's obviously a new kitchen team here and in the main the food was very good. I had my old standby of Tahini starter and Afaelia for my main. The starter was excellent. The main was good but my main criticism was that the chips were skinny frozen chips whereas the old restaurant cooked chunky hand cut chips which were standout good. We will be returning, overall four stars, which would have made five if the old style chips were still on offer.

After a complete mix up with our booking which was really disappointing as i had booked in advance for a birthday celebration and had family members in attendance including children and this created a very awkward conversation with the on duty manager in front of alot of other diners. To his credit he dealt with the situation well and we was eventually seated, although abit of squash and a squeeze it was greatly appreciated. The lady who served us couldn't apologise enough, as did the duty manager and explained the mix up, however i recieved a call asking why i hadn't attended/was i for my booking the following evening which eould explain the actual mix up as my booking amendments had been made but for the wrong date. Please do not let this put you off as i say it was dealt with well and we were seated, prehaps bookings shoyld be called to confirm the day before or the day of to avoid this situation in the future. The service was excellent the lady and gentleman serving us were welcoming, friendly and so polite and made us feel at ease following the mix up. The service was quick from ordering to being served and in between starters to main. This alone made up for it all but oh my goodness the food was absolutely amazing, really tasty, beautifully presented, great value and honestly everyone of us enjoyed our choices from kids meals to meat and seafood platters and various starters. The portion sizes were so good, we even brought some home as honestly could no waste such great food. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely evening in a welcoming setting with great food on offer at reasonable prices. We will be back again soon.

Good food, great service reasonable prices, enjoyed it very musch

Cannot fault this place!! Best staff, amazing food, amazing atmosphere and just brilliant service

Faultless yet again. Food absolutely amazing. All staff extremely helpful and friendly. My favourite place to come bar none. I can’t rave about this place enough. Thank you Christakis

Took my wife and grand daughter for a wee night out. Lovely atmosphere. Staff fantastic, food excellent, will be back here again.

Brilliant Greek food and excellent service.

We had a lovely early evening deal of £10 for two courses as part of a big birthday party and had far too much delicious Greek food. Nice place and we'll definitely be going back.

Went for the early doors menu & the meal was enormous! Can't believe the value so go & try for yourselves, highly recommend. Make sure you fast for a week before you're due to go!!!!

Really good selection of Mediterranean food. Really pleased that I went there will become a regular! Quality ⭐

Food is amazing. Lovely atmosphere and staff are so friendly.

Just incredible better value than a take away . And food super you grow into large portions and staff mega helpful and full of life . Worth double ££££ special days £10

First time (on recommendation). Excellent, friendly service. Very generous portions. Value for money. Recommend without hesitation.

Very welcoming, friendly service. Food was excellent and excellent value for money. Left feeling fat & happy

Absolutely spot on & very generous portions. Thank you Christakis.

Ordered chicken which was not cooked, empty glasses didn't ask if we wanted another drink. They refunded my meal but definitely will not return very disappointed after hearing good reviews

Great restaurant, I've currently got a large frame attached to my leg and they accommodated me with no issues at all... made it a no hassle experience which made my night better. All the staff were great, very polite & friendly and George made sure we were well all night. Food was great, no complaints at all and when it came to the bill, extremely great value. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic value for money and excellent service

What an amazing meal we had at Christakis! The staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome. Thank goodness we booked! It was a Thursday evening and it was full! My husband and I shared the meat platter, which started with warm pitta bread, three dips and a fresh greek salad then a massive plate of the tenderest, most juicy mixed meats on a bed of rice with two mountains of chips! Needless to say we brought a lot of it home to enjoy when we're slightly less stuffed, but we will definitely be back again.

I would of scored Christakis a lot higher but for a few problems, I will start with the positives, the lamb mousaka was beautiful and loads of it it was a rich ragu with the aubergines, corgettes and potatos and a delicious bechamel the salad and dips with bread was a real winner cant go wrong with warm bread now the negative 4 of us chose the mixed meat platter to share and the meat was so heavely over seasond with salt i was ok with it because i add salt to everything normaly without tasting first but my daughter pre warned me the meat was all cooked perfectly and juicey to be fair we took the meat home in a doggy bag and my wife made a rich tomato sauce and added the meat to that it was a really nice meal at home but we did mention it to the restaurant and they knocked some money off the bill it will not deter us from going back as the portion size is really good you will not go away feeling hungry

Great food , good prices. Definitely recommend it

Unbelievable gaff. The scran was unbelievable, tenner for a starter and a main. Friendliest staff I have ever met. Nothing was a hassle. The whole night was perfect, I’m already excited to come again next week. Them strawberry daiquiri’s were an absolute party on the pallet aswell 🍓
