Christakis in Liverpool

Excellent food, service and place.

Decent food, but the ‘Greek nights’ are just cheesy English songs and Arabic songs… they played 1 Greek song which was Zorba, ofcourse. And started when the other tables finished and not us. We was in the middle of a party pretty much 😂 and also had the cheek to ask us how we know what a Greek night is. This is my honest review anyway. - A Greek

Awful do not go here . Waited ages for the food and when it came it was vile . Rice out of a packet and then frozen chips . Honestly such a waste of money

One of the worst meals I have ever had to buy. The rice was out of a packet. Chips were frozen. Chicken was rubby and sauce like water . My fella normal eats anything and even he complained 🤦‍♀️

Lovely tasty food and good portion sizes, helpful and polite staff would definitely go back, only thing was they couldn't make any swaps or adjustments.

Gorgeous place, very chilled, great way to start your day, food second to non. Well established local Greek business...

We chose what we wanted from the menu outside but when we went in he presented us with set menus which were 3 course and more expensive than what we had in mind. When we said we didn’t want the set menu, he said that was all they were offering-so we stood up to leave and he suddenly changed his mind and said we could choose from the regular menu after all. Felt a bit like he was trying it on with us tbh. When the food we ordered arrived , we really enjoyed it, large portions too. Took a long time getting us our bill and we had to ask a couple of different waiters for it.

Myself and my family cane 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 were the belly dancer came out and she was good, then the rest of the night went down hill, 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 dancing". Then as a business you should hire someone else and give people what they pay for! He also 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 amd 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. Needless to say, we won't be back. A very disappointing night indeed.

Four of us (two friends with our sons) enjoyed a fabulous meal at Christakis. We started with a selection of starters, which we all shared, and were gifted with an additional starter from the restaurant. All of them were absolutely delicious! We then had our main courses which again were delicious...OMG the portions were HUGE!!! Not only did we get our main item (e.g. lamb/chicken/moussaka) but each was served with rice AND chips! Very generous but, hate to say it, quite daunting for me to have so much on the plate at one time!!! My son did finish his plateful and took the remaining half of mine home with him to eat the following day! Service was first class! The manager was really friendly and made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our visit. Our friends have booked to return for their son's graduation meal and we are returning separately too. Definitely recommend!

Don't know how they do it food gets better every time chicken kebab is amazing! Frendy staff good atmosphere nice wine what more do you want. See you again soon 😁👍

Great food, service and great value for money. They stayed open beyond their closing time to accommodate us. Would definitely recommend and come again.

Great place for a party . Belly dancer. Great food and staff are great

Omg, this was truly unbelievably great! I've eaten at a lot of Greek restaurants around the world, including Greece, but this was by far the standout for all the right reasons. We had the meat platter for two and everything went beyond flawless to genuinely elevated. Amazing food, great service and great value. Think we'll still be talking about this lunch for many years to come.

excellent food excellent prices excellent service what more could you want.

Good food, generous portions, and friendly service.

Food wasn't the best. And one of the servers was absolutely rude. There was a scouse lady server with dark hair who was absolutely wonderful. Cant fault her very poilet friendly and happy. Then another server who was rude and name us feel like we were putting her out. Really shouldn't be in that kind of job.

Thank you so much guys for a brilliant birthday meal, you never ever disappoint the food is incredible the restaurant is immaculate clean, the service is impeccable and the cost is amazing value can’t wait to come back again

Really disappointed in the service here. Will start with the food which was lovely as always but the service really let this down. Start with my drink being spilled by the waitress over me and the table she did apologise but no offer of replacement drink and did not change my cutlet which was covered in beer. Once starters came and plates being cleared we asked to waiter for more drinks and his reply was I’m not listening now I am clearing the table. He then took the plates away and around 5 minutes later he returned with our main dishes and once he done that said so you wanted more drinks then. We have been going to this restaurant for years from the old building to this and this is the worst service we have ever had. Really disappointed

We booked for Thursday 7.30 as the menu said early bird was 3-10. The menu on the table said 3-7. I raised it with the waitress and she pleasantly agreed to honour it. The staff we friendly and polite. The service was good and the food was well made and fresh. You can see the chefs through the glass. It wasn't very busy but really nice and modern place. Retains wine was good and reasonably priced

Friendly staff and amazing food.

Good food. Good staff. Will come again..

Such a disappointment! I have recommended Christakis to my friends and we were planning to eat there tonight. My friend checked online that early evening menu is valid till 6pm as it states clearly on Christakis website. She booked a table for 5:30pm. We sat down and made the waitress aware we’d like to order from early evening menu. She said it’s fine and we started ordering. Only after a minute while we were ordering, we were interrupted by someone sitting in a corner (a so called “manager”) to advise that we cannot order from the early evening menu as it’s finished at 5pm. We were really surprised as on the website it clearly states it is valid till 6pm. They stated “an old menu is on the website”. The staff was stubborn and did not want to cooperate. At the time in the restaurant there was only one table apart from us (in the whole restaurant!). Yet, they didn’t want to offer us early evening menu. That made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. I was told by the waitress that she wouldn’t be able to put the offer through the till which was a complete lie as I was at Christakis couple of weeks before with my boyfriend. We called ahead to check if we can arrive 15 min after the early evening menu finishes and still could order from it, and surprise surprise…there was no problem with that then. I feel Christakis was wrong in this situation and as much as I love going there, we left today strongly disappointed and unlikely to come back. How can a restaurant make their customers feel unwelcome? Awful and disgraceful. We ended up going to a different Greek restaurant in town tonight which offered great service, ambience and lovely food. Much bet Christakis.

Big portions and lovely food but the experience was totally ruined by the large male waiter. He was rude and unfriendly and made us all very uncomfortable. Also didn’t give us the Turkish delights sweets with our bill which I have had previously in the restaurant and all the surrounding tables received. Will not be going back because of him which is a shame as the food is perfect.

Went for my nephews christening the food was really outstanding.The staff we're also brilliant.well done

Fantastic service from the second we entered the door! The food we ordered (see photo) was wonderful, and there was plenty of it aswel! Amazing authentic Mediterranean decor, and lovely touches like white blossom trees in the window seats. Prices were really reasonable aswel, we were definately pleasantly surprised. Like I say, everyone was so lovely and friendly from start to finish, even down to the complimentary Turkish delight just as we finished - Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with great food to boot!

Fantastic evening. Excellent food.

Great food and place! Authentic Greek food at a great place! Portions have a great size, looking forward to going again!

Excellent food attentive staff great value for money.Have been a couple of times recently wouljd definitely recommend for families and friends.

Fin atmosfære og veldig hyggelig betjening. Koselig og autentisk med gresk musikk og kokk. Vi bestilte en rett for to med ulike typer grillet kjøtt, og hver eneste bit var perfekt! Sammen med gresk salat, pita, ulike dipper, fries og ris var det et fantastisk måltid. Trekker dog poeng for en forferdelig «strawberry daiquiri».

Food was amazing staff are so friendly will be back!!!

Stayed in the apartments above the restaurant so we decided to get a take out from this restaurant. It was absolutely delicious!! Ready to pick up within 15mins, staff could be more helpful on collection, really warm feeling to the place. Combo kebab and some mixed starters were cooked/prepared to perfection. Thanks again!

Went with a group of friends. Food excellent. Knowlegeable about gluten free and cross contamination which was so reassuring for someone with Coeliac disease.

FANTASTIC PARTY NIGHT,FOOD IS AMAZING. STAFF ALL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP YOU A SERVICE THAT YOU DONT REALLY GET THESE DAYS RENAU IS AMAZING ALWAY READY TO PLEASE YOU I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND CHRISTAKIS . THIS IS MY SECOND VISIT I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER ONLY ONE SMALL DRAW BACK ONE LADIES TOILET FOR SUCH A BIG PLACE

Really friendly staff the food was lovely I would definitely recommend

Thank you so much to Renos, Haris and the Christakis team for hosting 111 young professionals last night! The service, food and entertainment were absolutely fantastic! Everyone had a ball. Highly recommend!

We visited as a family for an occasion. Restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and We where greeted with smiles as the staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and was hot and fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope to return soon

I visited Christakis for a Networking Event with Merseyside Young Professionals - what a brilliant night! The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. The food was lovely. The entertainment was phenomenal. Highly recommended for large groups!

We booked a table for Saturday night 7:30pm 25th March on the website. Received a confirmation email of the booking no problem and then another reminder email of our booking on the Saturday morning. We arrived just before our booked time of 7:30pm to be advised they had no record of the booking. No one could explain how this could be the case despite the confirmation email we had received from them. We were asked if we had paid a deposit which we hadn’t, at no point in the booking process we’re we asked to pay a deposit. Not able to fit us in and so we had to try and find somewhere else to eat. Strongly suggest you review your online booking system as there is clearly an issue. Very disappointing experience all round.

Amazing place for Greek food. Portions were big and really good value on top of excellent service. Would highly recommend!

Went into Liverpool for my son's birthday (22/03) - aiming to get into Sapporros, but they wouldn't have us as they were apparently busy (only one table busy, but hey ho....); so reluctantly looked elsewhere. Glad we did! Christakis was excellent - really good food (early evening offer was great value for money), and plenty of it; and the staff were really nice too - nothing was any trouble and they were friendly with it too. Will definitely be back again now - glad the other place was 'too busy'!

Good selection of starters, including vegans ones. Mains weren’t as good and slightly bland. There was no entertainment so the restaurant was fairly empty for a Friday and not much atmosphere.

Great atmosphere really good service food wS spot on good value for money

Service is outstanding, food is great. I WISH THEY HAD MORE SHOWS and entertainment.

The food was really nice, I would recommend the halloumi fries and moussaka. However, I wouldn’t recommend going whilst it is the ‘party menu’ (from 5:30pm Friday-Saturday) which was meant to be dinner and dancing, which justified a limited menu. We were really excited about the entertainment aspect of this night but whilst we were there from 7pm- 9:30pm there was nothing. I asked one of the waitress’ about the entertainment and she seemed very confused, making us feel like we paid for service/experience we didn’t get.

Great atmosphere lovely food, my only little disappointment was I had to ask for my starter after a while when all my guests had got theirs. But over all great!! Will go again.

All is perfect, food, staff and everything! I recommend it!

Fantastic restaurant, impeccable service and great food

Wonderful all round from the minute we stepped in the door. Food was just perfect and lovely service (apart from lady waitress doing her hair near the kitchen, sorry guys, thats a no no)

Simply the best Greek food thank you and yammas 🇬🇷

Really nice place, excellent value and quality food

Absolutely amazing place. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is also amazing, came out at the right time. Made every effort to ensure we was looked after. Not to forget the show they do after everyone has eaten. Couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you!!

Had an amazing evening, the food took me straight back to my holidays in the Greek Islands. The stafff were extremely friendly and helpful. We visit Liverpool several times each year and will always come back. Couldn't decide what to have so opted for the Meze and we weren't disappointed.

Fourcur off us had a evening meal starters main meal with wine fantastic service great food nothing was to much trouble attentive polite courteous would definitely recommend

Dined here last night, Food was lovely, Staff were friendly and Service was good too. Not Expensive, good value for money. Thanks.

Very warm and welcoming staff, great service and great food. Just what we needed after the pre-Christmas fasting period. The lamb livers with onions and other appetisers were tasty, the meat from the "mixed meat platter for two" was tender and flavourful, and overall at a very good price for such large portions. They also brought us baklava for dessert as a complementary treat (no charge), which was delicious! We were too full to order more, but we were delighted to see they've got halloumi and lountza in their menu too! Definitely something to eat for next time! Many thanks for an excellent service and wishing you all at Christakis' restaurant a happy, prosperous and healthy new year 2023! :)

Delicious food as always great customer service and fantastic atmosphere and entertainment.

Great food, great service, staff brilliant, definitely coming back.

Great place. Used to go to the one on Yorke Street been here many times one of the best.

Food was absolutely awful would not go back .

Staff and atmosphere was really great but we came for a birthday and purchased the dance menu and waited 2 hours for them to say they aren’t going ahead with it anymore. Food wasn’t anything amazing

First time here and loved it . Great service and food . All good was perfect

Great service, atmosphere and show, enjoyed most of the food with few exceptions due to my personal taste. Would definitely come back.

Great entertainment and food as always

Lovely staff, great space and a wide selection of food. I'd go as far as saying the portion sizes are too generous but that isn't a complaint!

Came with a large group originally 18 which then became 30, no trouble atall when we called to add extra on. And nothing but warm service throughout, working in hospitality myself for 17 years I know how hard work it can be with large groups. This was such a lovely experience well looked after an food brilliant.. no mistakes, service attentive. Such an enjoyable day for all who came an gorgeous food. Thanks so much.

A bit disappointed really, ive been going to this restaurant for years now, but today the food was totally different to what we have been used to over the years...maybe it was the service, which was ok but I just can't put my finger On it.....maybe it was not seeing Chris there....who knows ???

Great food, generous portions and fab midweek deal

The food, we shared a meze, was fantastic and plentiful. Nice friendly staff and good atmosphere.

I went on a Thursday night, had a £10 deal for a starter and a main. Plenty of food, took some home for lunch next day! Fetta spring roll was amazing :)

Very tasty moussaka and big portion, friendly staff and nice atmosphere: recommended!

Awesome food, friend staff fab environment.

Lovely food, excellent service!

Went for my Daughter's hen do on a Saturday night. We had the party mezze. Plenty of choice, everyone commented on the quality of food as we were a big party of 45. Atmosphere was fab and had a great night. Definitely recommend!

Loved it. Amazing food.cant wait to return.

Excellent Night, food was superb, friendly Staff.

Great food and great atmosphere. Went for party night, set menu offer good choice and value and the entertainment was excellent. Only slight negative was the gent's toilets, no working urinal with only one cubicle available, no toilet seat. Standards in there did not reflect the front of house. Would recommend nonetheless.

Just been for food had Calamari,dolmades,houmous with pitta and halloumi and 2 moussaka with 3 drinks came to £57 ... absolute bargain for money huge portions very friendly staff and the food was top notch authentic greek cuisine will be coming again on our next visit to Liverpool ....thankyou guys

Buena comida, pero pedimos para 2, pues éramos una pareja con 2 niñas ,y nos pusieron para 4. Así nos resultó caro. Sobró mucho. Menos mal que nos lo pusieron para llevar

Nice venus but food was bland. Had to ask for change when paying for ng cash (it was £8). Staff were friendly though.

Delicious food Excellent customer service

Lovely food and entertainment, was a great evening with work mates

Top notch food,service, people 👌 even though they were extremely busy everything was perfect and fast. Polite people kept checking on us. Food was mouthwatering delicious. We had the combo plater meat I couldn't eat it all so took the remains home. Great job guys keep up the great work!

Lovely restaurant in a nice location with friendly service. My meal was very nice but not my favourite hence the 4 stars but that's my taste issue rather than a statement against the quality of the food. If you like Greek food, I'd definitely recommend this place. The price was very reasonable too.

An unexpected saturday evening of singing, dancing an loud music. A great atmosphere if attending a hen do or work night out, but not ideal if attending a meal with friends, as its so loud conversation just isnt possible. The Feta spring rolls were beautifuly seasoned and super tasty. Unfortunately the sweet potato fries were bland and uncooked in parts.

Delicious food..amazing service..great dessert on the house..a must visit gem in Liverpool..don't worry about busy days..the staff gives a great service even when it's busy

Excellent 2 course meal. Good service, lovely decor

I’ve ordered a Moussaka vegetarian and it was simply delightful!! An explosion of tastes in your mouth for a really reasonable price! Not mentioning the staff, which is outstanding! 100% recommended!!

Excellent food, great service, good ambience and all for a very reasonable price. If I lived nearby I would surely be a regular diner at Christakis.

Went for a friend,Ruth's birthday,nice food and place and our company was a 5.great early menu and value ,off the scale,5 out of 5 on price.

Excellent food and great value and the staff are wonderful We will be back very soon

Excellent. Staff lovely, food really nice, I would recommend the Christakis. One thing, if you go for dinner don't have a big lunch.

I went there 4 a wedding reception the food was very good good decor efficient staff

Absolutely fantastic staff night out here. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. The belly dancer and entertainment were fantastic. Such an enjoyable night. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere are really nice, food quality is great. The staff were very welcoming and price wise was great. If you are a Liverpool visitor or local I would recommend to give it a try..

Love this place, had Greek Meze, food kept coming, good value at £18 per person, good service, staff friendly and helpful, next best thing to being in Corfu x

Lovely food, a very happy atmosphere staff were good

Great staff, lovely food, cheap price

They were really nice & friendly with us, food really trashy, good prices,high recommended
