    Good selection of items to go.
    Mary A.

    Kriti Kitchen is a small, bright counter service Greek spot width fresh, seasonal dishes. They have an excellent cooler with items to take home. I love the meatballs, the roast okra, and the seasonal salads.

    Herbed chilean sea bass with horta and white beans

    One of the best restaurants in Houston is Kriti's Kitchen. We discovered this wonderful place through a friend at church during Covid. We ordered take-out and every dish was delicious. Convenient free parking is another advantage over other fine dining locations. Today, I ordered the seafood special , Herbed Chilean Sea Bass over horta and white beans. What a fantastic dish! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Vegetarian and gluten free menu options are available. Take a look at the freezer and fridge items. Family favorites are spanokopita and chicken souvlaki. Baklava cookies and almond shortbreads offer something sweet after a savory meal.

    Meat Mezze
    Annie N.

    For all the times I've been in this complex (probably too distracted by Homegoods), I can't believe I've never noticed this Greek spot! The inside was so cute with all the details of Greece. I was wanting something lighter and healthier for lunch and am so glad Kriti Kitchen came up on my search. We got the Meat Mezze board and Moussaka to share. The chicken kabob and meatballs were both so tender, juicy, and flavorful. The pickled cucumbers. carrots (pickled cumin flavor ?), and dip complimented the savoriness of the meats well. I've never tried Moussaka before, but I know I will be craving this dish! It's basically an eggplant lasagna with ground beef. Served with perfectly toasted bread on the side. Can't wait to come back to try more dishes! Also nice to know that there's grab and go options that can be reheated at home.

    Gluten free Chicken Wrap with okra
    Taylor C.

    I ordered the gluten free chicken wrap with okra to-go. It was hot and fresh. Very good.

    Beef Keftedes & Quinoa Keftedes
    Mary P.

    Let me just say, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! I got the regular beef keftedes and my sister got the quinoa & sweet potato keftedes and they were just so tasty! The sauce that came with both (I believe mine was tzatziki and not sure what sauce my sister had) complimented each keftedes. We also got the lemon potatos (not pictured) and they had the perfect amount of lemon flavor to them! The restaurant was quaint but cute, and the staff was friendly. I will be back soon

    Briami
    Alexandra K.

    A small cute and easy to shop place with food ready to take home and bake. I got the Briami, which took 20 min to heat at home, and the Galaktoboureko. The Briami was a yummy vegetable dish with quite a bit of flavor. I wasn't the biggest fan but that might be because I thought it needed a bit more salt. All together it was easy to make, inexpensive and tasted fine. The Galaktoboureko was honestly not my cup of tea. It's was like a thick layer of something dairy related between flakey pastry sheets but just too milky for my preference. This was the first time I've ever had this dish so I have no idea if it was authentic or true to flavor. Overall the staff was very kind and the checkout experience was great.

    Casual dining ambience, very high food quality, very tasty and fantastic options for the health conscious. Had several great gluten free options as well. Very nice staff. Will definitely be back.

    Moussaka
    Katherine T.

    The interior is SO cute. Very bright and transports you to Greece. The food was also yum! They also prepare ready-made meals that you can pop in and grab. Meat board: The chicken and beef meatballs were tender, juicy & spiced so nicely. The vegetables on the board paired well with the meats. The carrots had a sweet cumin flavor, and the cucumbers were acidic and crunchy. The smoked eggplant dip added a smooth & creamy element. The moussaka reminded me of a shepherd's pie but with a savory cinnamon flavor.

    Scrambled Eggs with Feta
    Bob S.

    Had a great lunch at Kriti Kitchen. The food was perfectly prepared with a lovely presentation. Employees are very friendly and will provide selection recommendations upon request. My daughter and I had the new menu item Veg Papoutsakia (we split it), the roasted vegetable wrap and 2 scrambled eggs with feta. I'd highly recommend this restaurant - they also have a large selection of family meals - this is our normal approach.

    heat and eat keftedes and tiropita, pitas and salad are homemade
    Vicki L.

    Found this place on Yelp while searching for new Greek places to try so I decided to stop by and grab some of the heat and eat dishes for dinner! We got the keftedes, frozen tiropita and a mint lemonade. The lemonade was tart and refreshing, really great for a hot day in Texas. Both dishes had clear instructions on how to reheat and also listed the ingredients that were in them. The food tasted super authentic and were seasoned well. I served the keftedes with some homemade pita and a Greek salad that I made and it was a really nice and filling dinner. The interior was small but very clean and there was a cute mural on the wall. I plan on coming back to try the food on the cafe menu as well as their other heat and eat dishes!

    Our private menu. Everything on this menu was so good! I want my birthday here too!

When the entree arrived I thought the lamb shank looked small. Taste wise it was good but I have had better. Also the potatoes were as advertised however their appearance and taste to me was average. If I ordered this meal again I would order another side dish perhaps the rice. This meal was a 3.5. Another visit was for dinner was to try the Kokkinisto entree for $21. Again this meal comes with the same enjoyable side salad with bread and I chose the Briami as the supplied side dish. The Kokkinisto (Greek beef stew) arrived on a bed of rice and covered in its herbed tomato sauce with garlic and onions. The Briami was in a separate bowl of stewed veggies in a light tomato sauce. I liked this meal better. The stew had good flavor with tender beef and a tasty red sauce. Also the veggies were good tasting too. I gave this meal a 4. Finally the waitress was very friendly. I believe her name was Jennifer? I like this restaurant and believe they serve good tasting and authentic Greek food.

While the wine selection and date friendly vibes were good selling points, the subpar service, high prices, and average food made for a less than stellar experience. These factors likely contributed to their recent closure, which is unfortunate. The interior was modern and intimate. High ceilings and large mirrors made the place feel more spacious than it was. It was a nice vibe that made the place visually appealing and date friendly. The brick walls, nice decor pieces, and ultra clean bathrooms were a big thumbs up. But vibes can't save poorly executed food. The octopus was dry and overcooked, the potato croquettes were a bit disappointing, as was, the trio of of dips. The souvlaki was supposed to be their most popular dish, but after trying their ribeye, pork, and chicken, it was simply too bland and not up to par. The gyro platters did not fare much better and the lamb chops were under seasoned. The lemon potatoes needed way more lemon but the only dish that was acceptable was the spanakopita (aka spinach pie). It was all overpriced, especially given the modest portions. Service was often aloof or nowhere to be found. When the nice woman butchered souvlaki and spanakopita, my gut was already in cringe. At least there was discount for cash. While I am saddened by their departure, I take comfort in knowing there are better options available in the city.

We made the reservation several days in advance for 8:45pm through OpenTable. As soon as we were seated, on time, we were surprised to immediately be greeted with last call for the kitchen, as the restaurant closes at 9pm, just 15 minutes later. The waitress offered to put everything at once but this felt rushed and a bit overwhelming given the number of options on their menu. We got a few dishes to share and enjoyed everything but did feel like we were keeping them open. For a closing time of 9pm, I would strongly recommend that they consider offering their last reservation at 8pm to allow guests to enjoy their visit. In the meantime, I would take note and try to get an earlier seating. My second visit was for happy hour at the bar with a friend, also made with a reservation, and this was a great experience. We got the frena bread to split which was warm and pillowy soft. So good. We also got the octopus which is one of their most popular dishes. Their espresso martini is sadly no longer on the happy hour menu but is definitely a must, served in a beautiful thin steamed glass and made with fresh espresso. A classic done exceptionally well. Happy hour runs from 5 to 7pm daily (including the weekends!) and features several $10 cocktails and wine and select food specials. I haven't had the chance to try their beautiful outdoor patio but maybe the third time is the charm!
