If you're looking for authentic home-style Greek cooking, the venerable and family-run Christakis is the place. The pièce de résistance is the rack of lamb ($29). Marinated in white wine and oregano, it's tender and juicy and almost enough for two. For dessert, be sure to have the galactobouriko -- clove-infused custard baked in a sheath of filo dough.

What a quaint little secret. The atmoshere is chic while the the service is old country. Everyone is related and family is all around. IN addition the food is all made on the premise and everything is made to order. A bit hidden, but it should not be kept a secret! The rack of lamb is the best I have ever had, matched by the hummus! Must make it a regulr place!

We went this past Saturday (8-5-06) to Christakis'. While the parking is not the best, the food and the service, let alone the ambiance, were just outstanding! We plan to make Christakis one of our fave stops in the future. While the prices are a bit higher than most working class families may, on a regular basis, afford: it is well worth the price for a place to go once or twice a month instead of just burgers or the common fare of Carrows or Norms,
