About the Business

Specialties

If you can find a better hummus, please let us know. Come with an appetite, and have fun sharing several mezes and some dinners. Dolmades, spanakopita, saganaki, tzatziki are wonderful. House specialty is the rack of lamb and our lamb chops, but nothing is lacking in flavor.

History

Established in 1996.

Christakis opened its doors April 1, 1996 by William and Joanne Christakis Wallace. A native of Agios Dimitrios, Greece, It was always Joanne's dream to create a little piece of home in California. With her family, and the two Greek Tzoytzorakos brothers, Joanne saw her dream come to life. Although Joanne lost her battle to cancer only three years after creating Christakis, her spirit lives strong. The recipes are based on home meals, and have been expanded by the family at Christakis. We are blessed with regular customers that have been our cornerstone, and delighted by visitors we hope become family.

Business Owner

Christakis is truly a family effort. We are the children of Joanne Christakis Wallace, maintaining our mothers dream, and living our own. While not working on his film ventures, Michael is holding fort at Christakis, along side his sister Sarah, his book-keeping sister in law Cheri, and the exciting return of Vasilis Tzotzoyrakos. You will certainly find any member of the family dining with friends any night at the week-how lucky to own your favorite restaurant.
