Ive been eating here for probably 20 years and its wonderful. The food is consistently high quality and they have all of the Greek standards that I love. My wife is not a huge fan of Greek food, but she likes it as well. Keep in mind that, even though it seems like its right downtown, its actually slightly South of downtown and theres always plenty of easy parking right next to the restaurant without having to deal with parking meters,
Gyros are fantastic and so is the tzatziki! Feta appetizer is always on my order with extra pita and tzatziki. Easy to dine in or pickup since it has a parking lot in back.
Its a small local restaurant with a nice sized area to eat and some outdoor seating. Good fresh food and decent service.
Food was ok. Seasoning not on point part of my food was under cooked part of my husbands food was over cooked. Service not so great. Server couldnt answer questions about product didnt check on us never offered dessert but she definitely had time to get her smoke break in.
Opa!!! Oh my tastebuds were absolutely delighted to find the food was just as delicious now as it was 25 years ago!!! This is still my favorite Greek Restaurant that I tell people they must visit when going to Indy!The memories that came back while dining in the restaurant with my fiance was almost overwhelming. The Saganaki was just as delicious as I told him. It makes me sad I live so far away. Thank you Indy for giving them the love the deserve! So grateful to walk in there after the past few years of chaos and see them still thriving.
I have been a long time patron of The Greek Islands and I will continue to enjoy their wonderful family owned restaurant. The menu is absolutely perfect! If you want a large delicious feast or perfect soup and salad its here. Authentic Greek cuisine at affordable prices and HUGE helpings. If you are planning a trip downtown it is a MUST.
Food was good but nothing that really made it stand out. Menu is small and easy to navigate. Good prices. Friendly staff. Nothing wrong with Greek islands but it wasnt impressive either.
Hidden gem here!! If you like greek food THIS is a good place to go. The staff is so friendly its like you are at home. Our server made recommendations for us, our food came fast and it was so good. We went for the gyros abd they did not disappoint!! So good. We will definitely go back!
Opa! What a treat. We were walking to the recommended Italian restaurant, but the kitchen smells pulled us in. Nice Macedonian wine with dinner. Great light fare (hummus...),real complex bechamel sauces too.
This is by far the best Greek Cuisine Ive ever had to date. The saganaki is to die for
Ive been visiting George at this place for over 20 years! The best Greek food and drink in Indianapolis. Make it a point to visit for lunch or dinner.
This restaurant feels homey, and follows Xenia, the ancient Greek code of hospitality, well. The food was very good, and the restaurant had good service to boot. If youre looking for Greek cuisine in a laid back, casual environment, go here.
Well for the food is was traditional and good but it was for the lack of service .. Or sitting people right behind us when the whole area is open .. Or argue that google has the wrong pictures so its not yalls fault that the plate that came out was different.. But the food was good a bit pricey but still good .
Tiny salad for $5 not worth it but The Gyro meat was delicious.
AMAZING FOOD, Excellent service, family traditional atmosphere. It is a must eat in Indy! Family owned and you will not be disappointed!
Nothing but a great time. Food, service, ambience. Go now!
What a treat! Our family decided to celebrate a birthday and the Greek Islands was a perfect getaway. The food and service were great. The music and belly dancer were an added bonus. We loved the flaming saganaki and the Greek Islands combo. Our birthday girl was even treated to a free baklava! We expected good, but got great!
The food was really good. I was a bit disappointed that they were out of the wine we wanted and out of the dessert we wanted. If not for that, I would have given them 4 stars. Maybe they will have both the next time we visit and we will definitely visit again.
Cozy atmosphere and stuffed flounder was delish! So was baklava cheesecake!!
Food, service, wonderful. Bathrooms need a little love!
It was delicious 😋. The Tiropita (cheese pie) is a must...fried cheese wrapped in a very flakey crust, OMG!
I just had a delicious dinner of stuffed flounder and an amazing Gelato dessert. Highly recommend!
This place is huge and can host a lot of people at a time.It has multiple food awards and it definitely lives up to the hype.Everything we ordered was made to perfection.My favorite was the lamb rack, which the special of the day.The staff is very friendly and the service is prompt.You can have an upscale experience here without burning a hole in the pocket.
The best greek food in Indy. Delicious menu offerings food outstanding & awesome service staff.Cant wait to go back this time Im taking 2 more ladiesvwho have never been there before. I cant wait. Angela and George are the best
Hands down best Greek restaurant in indianapolis. Spicy feta very tasty. Gyro tender and fresh. Stuffed flounder filleted nicely with great stuffing. And the avgolemono was perfect with lemon and egg.
Great atmosphere, and great food. Always enjoy going when we can.
Ok the flaming cheese was good. The rest was not. The food was cold and the green beans were disgusting unless you like tomato sauce all over them, I didnt. The Around the Island was not worth 22. 00 Dollars and the Spinich pie meal my husband got was diffently not worth 15.95. The food was cold to lukewarm ... only reason I gave 2 stars was the cheese...
Great food, really packed, Pretty expensive for potion size.
Wonderful little spot in downtown Indy. Lovely service, fast, authentic and delicious!!
My daughter Sophia suggest that we eat here today and my experience was great!! I look forward to returning with family and friends.
Best Greek menu in the entire stat! And the staff and manager work hard to please! Worthwhile restaurant!!!
Gooood foood ... Love it
Absolutely excellent food and great service. I dont leave many reviews, but I have to say this was some of the best food I have ever had.
Great food and friendly service. There was a slight mix-up with the reservation, but they made it right!
Great place great foodWe were the only people in the resturant but the server was very attentive.The food is always good I am never disapointed. It is a couple of years since I have been to the Greek Islands and the standards have not dropped
Food was excellent. Staff was courteous and helpful
One of my absolute favorite places to eat in Indy! The food always tastes fresh and delicious. Also they have parking
Opa, good soup. Good people on staff. Love the small feel
Funky lil Greek spot we seem to always hit up when in Indy. Just go and enjoy!
Authentic Greek food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Loved everything
Love love love the lemon soup...might sound weird but I highly recommend it! The gyros are also outstanding. Give it a try, very fresh, very delicious!
Great staff, honestly though food just wasnt very good (We ordered; spicy Feta, the fire cheese, and 4 different entrees) the only one that really was good was the baked chicken. Rest were pretty bland, and they were out of Hummus! 6pm on a Saturday, Greek Place, our of Hummus, really! If it wasnt for the staff this would have been 2 stars, I personally wont be going back.
Gyros were great. Baklava cheese cake for dessert. Yum.
First time I have been here. My family and I really enjoyed the food. It was delicious. Our server was very nice. We will definitely be going back there. I would recommend this place of you have never tried it.
Cute little restaurant... chicken kebabs and flaming cheese were delicious ...the baklava cheesecake SUPERB...staff friendly and prompt
I was stuck in the snow at home watching travel shows on Youtube in Greece and thought to myself I need pita now! So I decided to order in some food from this location. Ive never had their food before and I was so impressed! This was some seriously delicious Greek food! The sampler of sauces was awesome, I dont even like eggplant and that spread was amazing, the spicy feta is boss! It was expensive but worth every cent, and next time Ill not order as much, the portions for lunch were huge, Ive got some great leftovers now too!
Friendly and prompt service in a clean atmosphere. Excellent food! We will definitely return.
We’ve been coming to Greek Islands for well over a decade now, and I’m sad to say my recent experiences have not been nearly as good as what we remember from years past.There are still highlights that keep us coming back. The saganaki (flaming cheese) is a delicious and fun appetizer experience! I always order it along with one of their wonderful old world wines when I’m bringing friends for their first time. For dessert, the baklava is so rich and decadent with the perfect crisp and flakey top.However, our main courses have been pretty forgettable lately. Dishes like their gyros, souvlaki and tzadziki really used to stand out with the flavors of fresh, fragrant herbs. But it seems like they’ve cut back those ingredients and the dishes just aren’t as good. Most recently I had the chicken gyro, the meat was pretty dry and it was accompanied by only a couple small pita triangles. I’ve also missed the side of Mama Fofo’s delicious potatoes in my last few meals. The bland pilaf is just no substitute.The last few service experiences were also not great. Though friendly, our servers have also been inattentive. I’ve stopped going for workday lunches because of the delays. And we’ve also missed seeing the belly dancer during the weekend dinner service.I’m hopeful they can make some adjustments and get back to the amazing dining experiences we once had here.
Fantastic food. Everything I ate was delicious. The Greek beer was passable. The severs were friendly and spoke Greek. They even taught me a couple phrases. Highly recommended.
Wowow the best Greek in the City!!
Great local place to eat! The phodoras appetizer was my favorite!
Greek Islands is our favorite restaurant! Not only because I proposed to my wife there 26 years ago, or because they are the most friendly people on the planet, but because their Gyro is perfect. It tastes the same now as it did 26 years ago. Warm pita, flavorful gyro meat, spicy Tzatziki. And don’t forget to order your own saganaki flaming cheese. Opa!
Great local Greek place. Food was good and service was excellent. If you want to help keep the local places in business and enjoy some good Greek food this is your place.
Close to the a V-2 mechanical problems
Dining in with some Greek atmosphere. Very tasty Greek food at reasonable prices. Parking in the rear. Wear a mask, social distancing is acknowledged.Good location near downtown and Lucas Oil Stadium.
I can not recommend this place more. My husband and I have ordered from them throughout COVID and each time the order is prepared correctly, safely packaged for transport and tastes delicious. Please help us in supporting this small family business restaurant so dear to our hearts.
The food is always delicious! You have to try the meat pie! I love The Greek Islands!
The food was excellent! It took me back to when I was a little boy being raised by my Grecian mother and grandmother.
Love love love. Amazing flavor!!! Fantastic service! George and Angela are awesome!
Excellent, Excellent Greek Restautant. Very tasty & the service is a 5 star treat. Very happy to be here for our furst time but definitely will come back.
It was lovely. Food was delicious. Service was great. Weather was perfect for al fresco dining. All around wonderful experience.
Fast service. Food came out fast and was hot. I got the chef salad with gyro meat and it was perfect ratio of everything. My friend got the gyro and also had no complaints
Great selection of wines, dips, and entrees! One of the best greek restaurants Ive been to.
If I could rate it less than 1 star I would...low quality ingredients, bland food, and very slow service. Not good.
Very authentic Greek food. Spanakopitas were absolutely tremendous, chicken was deliciously tender, and dessert was fantastic. My family and I will definitely be coming back here. Great community too. Very nice people! Thanks again!
Generous portions of delicious food. Triropita is amazing!
Food was great, service friendly. Found by accident and glad we dined with them!
The flaming cheese was amazing
Went on a slow Tuesday night with my wife. Enjoyed vibrant and delicious food. Love this place, the staff, the food. One of our new favorites!
Exceptional food with plentiful portions!
Sat outside and ate crab stuffed flounder. Wait staff attentive to everyones needs including the dog at the table down from us! Eat local, you will not regret it!
Excellent food! I have been combing the Indianapolis food world for something different and exciting to eat. THIS PLACE IS IT! all the food was fresh and tasted great. I will return.
We need more places like this in town. They truly go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. They understand the value of each and every customer to their business. If there is a problem, give them a chance to fix it while you are there. They don’t want you to go away unhappy. They want happy customers who come back for years. Did I mention that the gyros are fantastic?
Fantastic food, excellent service, wonderful ambiance. Just go to this restaurant.
Went here for the first time yesterday, and have to say easily the best Greek food in town! We started off with hummus and had the gyro dinner entree. Didn’t expect to have a side salad with our meal, and it was phenomenal. The owner was also very friendly and upbeat, and can safely say he takes the time to ensure a great experience for his guests. 10/10
We love eating out. Yesterday we visited this excellent restaurant which we didn’t know before. We had a beautiful time there with high-qulity dishes and an efficient stuff and a talented chief cook. We put this venue in our phone list and we shall surely come back very soon. Highly recommended.
