Did you know we don’t use seed oils at Kriti Kitchen?

And honestly, it’s not because we’re trying to jump on the “no seed oil” hype. It’s much simpler than that: traditional Greek cooking has always centered around olive oil, and that’s how we like to cook.

About 85% of our menu is made with olive oil. For the rest, we use grass-fed butter, and for anything fried, we use Fera Fruit oil.

For us, it’s really about tradition, quality, and flavor. We think olive oil makes everything taste better and we love that our food leaves you feeling nourished, satisfied, and ready to take on the day.

Good food should make you feel good, too!!

Have you ever heard of Trahana? It’s a wonderfully unique Greek ingredient, somewhere between pasta and a crumbly, tangy Parmesan. Made by mixing wheat and milk, then drying and grating it into tiny granules.

For our September 24th Dinner Series, we’re featuring trahana with a roasted tomato & Gulf shrimp. To see the full menu and get tickets check out the link in our bio.

Hope to see you there!

Did you know our Seasonal Salad is made with hydroponic lettuce from in Georgetown, Tx? We also source our okra and watermelon locally

Supporting local farmers is important to us, but there’s another reason we do it, the FLAVOR. Fresh, seasonal ingredients simply taste better!

Come taste summer on a plate.

We just returned from a wonderful couple of weeks in Crete. Every visit leaves me in awe of the incredible hospitality, the exceptional food, and the deep pride the people have in their culture and traditions.

And then there’s the scenery. Watching the sun set over the iconic lighthouse of Chania during dinner was one of those moments that reminds you just how breathtaking this island is.

Chania holds a special place in our hearts, as it’s close to where my Papou grew up. Being here always feels like a connection to our family’s roots, and each visit leaves me even more grateful for that bond.
