Island · South Aegean
"Greek Islands has been around since the 70's and was opened by a group of friends who came over from Greece. It is my go to spot whenever I'm in the mood for some greek food. I tried their fried eggplant appetizer recently and it was so darn good." - Linsey Rosen
"Part of the 'To Feel Contentment' itinerary, providing serene and languid experiences."
"Greeks and non-Greeks alike favor this longtime restaurant for well-executed classics in a traditionally-decorated space. The avgolemono, or egg lemon soup, is an extra creamy version made with chicken broth, rice, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Greek Islands offers outdoor seating, takeout, and delivery. As West Loop continues to gobble up Greektown, Greek Islands, established in 1971, remains." - Naomi Waxman
"A beautiful Greek island in the Aegean Sea, known for its whitewashed buildings, stunning sunsets, and crystal-clear waters."
"A trip to Greek Islands is an adventure in itself, especially for young diners who long for more than chicken nuggets. The restaurant is Mediterranean royalty in Chicago, and an ideal venue for novices to learn about the wonders of flaming saganaki, mini pork and chicken kebabs, and pan-fried calamari." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
