For 50 years, Greek Islands has been pretty synonymous with Greek food in Chicago. It’s big in every way: a huge warren of dining rooms, huge platters that arrive at the table, and a menu with so many…
The most delicious, rich but delicate flavors! Everything from whole Mediterranean Seabass (Tsipoura), Pan Fried Calamari, and Mousaka is tender, light and wonderful. The delivery experience (twice this month) is outstanding as well.. communicative, polite, efficient. Just wonderful—everything you want on your day off from cooking.

I grew up going to the restaurant and have had the Avgolemono probably over 25 times in my life. And this was sadly not it. it was nothing like it was supposed to be from the texture to the taste. it was way too thick with a low quality thickener, no lemon flavor, bland and yet at the same time was just like greasy. it actually made me feel almost like gagging. i'm disappointed because delivery is so expensive. i know this isn't usually for you guys. i'm not making this public because i know you're quality is usually way better than this. also the Pork Shishkabob is usually huge and juicy and tender and today they were like overcooked and shriveled. they looked 1/4 of the normal size. and in the restaurant it usually comes with pita and tzatziki to make your own souvlakia sandwiches but that didn't come with. the flavor was good tho of the meat. so that was good. but yeah guys this was really dissapointing today because the soup, of which i bought two of, is inedible.

I usually love the Athenian ~ Traditional Greek Salad, but was disappointed today. It was expensive for what just seemed like a lot of lettuce! I only got one very small block of feta, 1-2 olives, one slice of tomato, one pepper, and a few slices of cucumber. They were difficult to find under all the lettuce. For over $8, I think it could have had more of the extras and maybe less lettuce.

Probably terrible how often I order but the best Greek I've had to date! The Potatoes, Fasolakia and Spinach Cheese Pie are to die for! The Potatoes melt in your mouth and the Fasolakia has the most perfect seasoning. The Spinach Cheese Pie is so full of spinach and feta, the perfect ratio to phyllo dough. The Homemade Gyros Appetizer is perfect always and you get so much I always have left overs. On the fence? Just order, its too dang good!

Absolutely horrible experience from the rude customer service to the overpriced food. I can't believe I paid $28 for 8 pieces of dry mediocre shrimp. I would highly recommend Athena, which is right next door, over this place.
