Greek Islands - side

What a great experience! Great food and service! First, it was raining but the free valets were friendly, quick and helpful. Yes, we tipped them good! We walked in on Sunday evening about 5:30 and were able to get a table immediately. Upon being seated we received water and bread that appeared fresh baked. The waiter was very busy so it took a minute for him to greet us but he let us know he'd be with us soon and was very friendly the whole evening. Probably the best service we've had in a restaurant in months! The atmosphere feels like you are eating in Athens at an authentic local place, not in Chicago. We ordered the Flaming Saganaki cheese which seemed to be served to almost every table. It was very good! Think of it as fancy mozarella sticks but better. We shared the Athenian Greek Salad for two which was more than enough for us and was very good. I had the Keftedes, beef and lamb meatballs with a gravy with rice and potato, and it was excellent. Very flavorful and you could taste it had a good deal of herbs. The portion was large with plenty for a filling meal. I would definitely order this again. The Wife had the Pastichio, baked pasta, ground meat and cheese casserole topped with béchamel sauce, which she loved. We tried both dishes and she preferred her while I preferred mine. Perfect! We will definitely return and highly recommend Greek Islands for friends and family!

Delicious food and impeccable service. Andres R was our waiter and brought everything out at the perfect time. Great personality and enviroment. Amazing experience!

A must-visit in Greektown, we enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and food. Besides the saganaki (a must! , we tried the spanakopita, keftedes, and Spartan chicken. All were great except the side of vegetables. Would definitely return!

Excellent food and service. I will definitely return.

I haven't been here in a very long time. The food was really good. I had lamb and pork. The Pic I posted is what you see when you come inside the front door. Service was very attentive. Friendly.
