This award winning restaurant, in existence since 1971, is a Chicago institution. Greek Islands, which is always busy, is a place for casual dining with friends. The menu is overwhelming and the wait staff experienced. The food is excellent and the atmosphere friendly. It is just a fun place to eat. more

We were recommended this place by a friend, and it satisfied my Greek food craving. The tzatziki (make sure you order the grilled pita bread which costs additional) and dolmades were delicious. Service is quick and friendly. more

The best part of this restaurant was the service. They were so very attentive - I never ran out of water and the food was prompt. Restaurant had a feel like you were in the greek isles, except if you were right next to the kitchen/food counter. It appears almost like they have a buffet line - only for you... more

Went to this restaurant recently on business trip to Chicago on recommendation from friend. Great atmophere, great food. Would very highly recommend. Prices were reasonable, service excellent, portions generous. It's a large place and we got in without reservations on a weeknight although it was surprisingly busy. My first time in Greektown part of the city. more

Oh what's happened to our favorite Greek restaurant? For the first time we had a non-Greek waiter, and he was just horrible! He repeatedly kept addressing us as "you guys" whenever he came to the table, even after I gave him a disapproving turn of the head and frown. Each time he walked past our table that was laden with... more
