NileGuide Expert Says:
Welcoming and friendly service, fun atmosphere for a large group, plenty of food, and free parking!
NileGuide Expert tip:
This is probably the most popular of the Greektown restaurants. Expect a wait on weekends (even in winter). In the end, you will find it worth it as you will be stuffed silly.
Description:
- One of the most boisterous and hopping of all the Greektown restaurants. Somehow it manages to maintain a sophisticated atmosphere even amidst loud noise and busy waiters. If you have three or more people, order one of the family style dinners, which include saganaki, taramosalata (salmon pate), lamb, meatballs, dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) and more. Part of the charm is that you can dress up and feel comfortable, or go in jeans and feel at home. Try the Greek beer or one of the exotic Greek wines.

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 menu features lamb, fresh fish and all the Greek standards, including moussaka, dolmades, spanikopita, etc. The wine list features unique wines from a small Greek estate winery. Over 20 appetizers and 55 Entrees are available. A real value and it's highly acclaimed.
