In the heart of Greektown, Greek Islands has remained consistently reliable and has become America's most popular Greek Restaurant. The atmosphere is fun and the service is welcoming.

The Scene – Mediterranean colors of coral and blue, white stucco walls and pale stone floors set the mood at this casual Greektown restaurant. Four large dining rooms are filled to capacity throughout the week, with servers running from pillar to post to keep up with brisk business. Dine with a big group--they'll make appropriate accommodations. Scream "Opa!" and nobody minds. – – The Food – Cheese is flaming everywhere you look. A recommended starter, aside from the traditional saganaki, is the taramasalata--a thick, creamy spread of fish roe, breadcrumbs, lemon juice…

Terrific food; terrific atmosphere; terrific service
by dave71us
When asked what was on the menu, the owner took my friends and I on a tour of the kitchen and probably would have let us sample, but we didn't ask. The service was outstanding. Drinks were refilled, bread basket was never empty, and the food. Absolutely delicious Greek food. The price was totally reasonable. For two people including appetizer and entree + soft drink, it was around $40. One of my favorite restaurants in the world. Not to be missed!

One of My Chicago Favs
by kencitadel
By far best rest in Greek Town
Service is excellent even during dinner rush on week ends
Food is flat out great, quality, taste, portions, selection, etc.
Wait staff so effecient you wonder how any rest can top
Cost of meal is same as an Outback, Fridays's but his place is better than Gibson's, Morton.s. Cap Grill in quality and tatse.
Words do not do this place justice.
You can take clients, kids, family, a date, etc to GI.
I travel and eat out every week and this is in my top ten rest list on any continent, country, city, town, etc
Fish, pork, chicken, soups, salads, especially beet salad are beyond words
This palce defines value for dollar
- Pros: Fish, Pork, free valet park, salads, soups, service, wait staff
- Cons: desserts are blahhhhhhhhhhhh, but who cares
