Food for the soul. Come hungry leave fulfilled from the inside out. Our party of 9 was sat in under 30 minutes and our server was fabulous. You must get saganaki (flaming cheese) and be sure to ask for extra lemon, it's way better with extra lemon. I ordered the Lamb Orzo special, which tasted exactly like my mother in law's... sauce consists of tomato and lamb fat with Greek Mezzithra cheese on top. Finished the meal with Greek Coffee (fortune included) and the best baklava I've had since being in the homeland.

Food: generous in portions, they bring seafood from Greece price is very fair. Free bread but not the tastiest bread. Saganaki cheese is a show in itself. Since we went as a big group, I tried many dishes. However, I feel that its food lack a little bit in spices and flavors. Service: waiters are very nice, however they run out of a few items in the menu. One of them was even advertised as todays special. They take reservation by phone call. Ambience: lively, ideal for a big group dinner.

While touring around town, my sister found this place to try it. What a great choice! The interior dining room was just beautiful and so clean looking. The server was nice. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered fried zuchhinis, grilled octopus, chicken, gyro and the Lake Superior white fish. Food serving : good amount ! Golly yum!

Thoroughly enjoyed this Greektown classic. Our party had keftedes, spanikopita, and Spartan chicken, all of which were enjoyable. We also shared a saginaki, because hey, we're basic. Would return. Also charming decor and nice service, plus free valet parking, a plus in the neighborhood.

One of those longtime Chicago institutions in the Greektown area, Greek islands is my go to for a Greek food experience. There's not much to add here that has been said already except I usually like to come and get a bunch of small plates as opposed to entrées. Today we ordered the saganaki, Greek salad, Small gyros, spinach pie and side of Greek potatoes for lunch. Always love the bread basket at the table, especially the sesame bread. Services always fast and friendly. Yes it can be a little touristy overall but it's always fun to bring guests here. Good celebration place as well. Close to many of the universities in the city. They have free valet parking. You can probably find street parking as well.

Living close by we always walk past it and finally went to try it. Honestly, surpassed my expectations. We got the vegetarian moussaka, side of lemon potatoes, and gyro app. I'm glad we did not get the full entire of gyro because it was plenty! The moussaka was delicious and I would definitely come back for that.

Authentic Greek dining is plentiful in the north 'burbs, but Greek Islands is well worth the drive through tortuous city traffic. Their free valet parking is a huge incentive to make the trek. Once inside, you're warmly welcomed and then seated in one of several attractively appointed dining rooms. We recently lunched here with a large group in a private dining room. We were served the family-style meal, which included a bread basket, cold appetizer (skordalia), saganaki, individual Athenian salads, four entrees (pastichio, gyros, chicken Riganati, and kontosouvli), two side dishes (Greek potatoes and briami), assorted desserts and coffee. Everything was superb. Currently $29.95 per person for lunch or dinner, the enormous family-style meal is one of the absolute best dining values in Chicagoland. Our attentive server brought a bunch of carryout boxes so the abundance of leftovers wouldn't go to waste.
