Greek Islands Restaurant

04/08/2008 Posted by Beefeater08

This was my 1st time to Greektown (Im from Florida) and I had read the good reviews of Greek Island. I have to say that they were correct. This is a very nice but casual restaurant. Was seated immediately. I ordered Dolmades, Tirokafteri for apps and the Village Salad with Grilled Chicken for the entree. Each of them were made to perfection. The flavors were so good that I could not help but over eat.... I ate almost everything that was put in front of me. The 2 mile walk there and back was worth every step!!! The wait staff was a little slow but that kind of stuff does not bother me so to those that it does, slow down and enjoy life a little more.... You only get one shot so slow down and enjoy the experience. Overall I would have to say that this is a highly recommended place and this is from someone that is a pretty good cook and rather hard to please.

I've been going to the Greek Islands along with most of the people I know, which is a lot, for over 20 years. I go to many others but this is one of my all-time favorites! As to the people who supposedly got sick, you got to be kidding. You probably got it from something you made at home earlier that day. The place is jam packed constantly and the food is fresh. Why is it that you were the only ones to get sick? I'll tell you why! You're looking for a settlement. Hmmm! Noone else has stepped forward! That's funny! If this was a common occurrence, or if it even happened at least once before in the past 20 years, I would have known and perhaps been inclined to believe you. Your looking for a scape goat to get a frivolous law suit. that's all! This is a top shelf restaurant!

Pros: Great food & atmosphere!

Cons: Sometimes waiting in line because no one is in a hurry to leave.

In response to the so called "I got sick and so did my family" person. I have been going to the Greek Islands for as long as they have been open and never once experienced a bad or unhealthy meal. The only thing that my family and I do experience, is a wait. Which is expected from a very successful restaurant. It tells me something. The food is good and well worth the wait. If so many people did not also believe that, I guess there would not be a wait. Even during the week you will find people waiting to eat there! I think that you are out to make a fast buck and that is why you choose the most popular restaurant in Greektown. You should be ashamed of yourself. Do not worry tho, you are not the first to try this, and I am sure that you will not be the last. You say your Greek, big deal who cares. What does that have to do with anything? If I were you, I would be embarrassed to admit it! I suggest that you get a real job and also trying using spell check. That is free!

Pros: Best Place In Greektown!

Cons: None

I want to say something in responce to the so called family that got sick .... I happen to know they are trying to make a dollar out of this little charade of thiers ...and that they are not in the illness they claim to be ..... they are trying to destroy a reputable restaurant so they might get a settlement and they say they are greek hah... please... I eat there at least 6 time a week and I tell you I am healthy and the food is always good and fresh for crying out load they are always running out of food every day how could it not be fresh daily.........................

Illness is nothing to joke about even as ridiculous as it seems. I have already lost over 15 pounds and can only dream of the next time I can eat saganaki. The sad part of this whole situation even worse than my close call to demise is that ignorance can motivate and persuade more than the truth. Does it really take every person served being infected severely, to convince someone there could exist a problem? I am very glad the healt. departmen. thinks otherwise. It is dangerous to be shut down for health reasons and only done so in severe conditions. However I would believe it is equally dangerous to disregard such an obvious violation, when the result is my condition. I also am not only offended that one would question the origins and culture of any individuals to whom they are completely unaware for no reason, but that it is done so influentially. I hope no one looks to you for guidance and learns your corrupt judgemental mindset because America could very well be a different place as a result. You are right to think and hope America would be a different place if you did not have people constantly creating illnesses for money. Assuming because someone claims they are sick as a result of a certain location, does not mean they were at all resonsible for the closure or want money. It could be possible they just want to make their situation available to peoples interested in searching the subject and might care for their well being. I know if I never saw both sides of the story I would probably not take this situation seriously. I cannot constantly argue over something that you will never understand since you are lucky. I can never combat your claims until I seem credible and it is sad that the Internet has come to this point. I hope the Greek islands learns form their well documented mistakes permanently, and continues to thrive for years so I can take my future children to experience amazing authentic Greek cuisine as I had been taught as a child. Regards

Pros: Great atmosphere

Cons: YOU MAY GET INFECTED!

Greek Island's is a lively place to have dinner with the family or a special date. i very much enjoyed the experience of the place. the atmosphere was incredible and the food was even better. i myself don't enjoy Greek food but after my visit to Greek Island i changed my mind. i really liked how they set the cheese on fire it gave it a nice smokey taste too it. i also tried the dessert that was like mondern day boclava and it was absolutly decitive. i would recommend this place to everyone.

I went there for lunch to celebrate my birthday with my aunt .It was my second time in this restaurant. The food was good but the service was horrible this time. The waiter talked during my entered meal and when I had finished my meal the waiter took my fork and turn my piece of lamb over and He said "look there is more meat on it". It was the worst experience that ever happen to me in a restaurant in my life. Also the other servers must be more respectful of the customers.

Pros: good food

Cons: bad service
