Beware of Greeks Baring Gifts

Christakis Greek Taverna - 7 York Street, Liverpool, L1 5BN Tel: 0151 708 7377

For a start it Greek Cypriot which is the case of most so called Greek taverna's in the UK but that in itself is not necessarily a bad thing - and look at the publicity - its been around for the last 27 years. Anyway my visit was with friends on a Friday evening when the live entertainment, which starts at 10pm and goes on till 2am consists of some dodgy Zorba the Greek style dancing and a belly dancer from Lark Lane who is hotter on audiance participation that hip wriggling and to top it all the food is less than stunning. Basic would be perhaps the most kind way of describing it but if one wanted to be cruel one could say it was tasteless, luke warm (which is actually an authentic Greek style of serving) and completely lacking in any form of innovation. Any here are a few pictures for you to judge for yourself and play the identify me game by refering to the menu

Were were 3 and had 2 of the Meze and one starter and mains from the party menu - all just one price - £15 inc. the entertainment each plus drinks etc - it was an experience but so is root canal surgery so I am told.

























And finally - the belly dancing queen - funny - I always thought belly dancing was Egyptian/Turkish
