    Outstanding experience at a lovely local restaurant. My husband and I went for dinner and we left so happy. They clearly put effort into making the vibe as authentically Greek as possible. The service was outstanding. We loved that the owner, George, went around and talked to all of the diners. He even read us the specials and brought us some food himself. He is so sweet. The waitress, Zoe, was incredibly sweet as well. They made us feel right at home. Now the food! They have a special going on from Tuesday to Thursday where you get a side, and appetizer, and entree, and a dessert for $35 each! What an absolute steal. I think it would have been worth it even if it was double that. I got the zucchini chips, the branzino, the gigantes beans, and a fig gelato. My husband got the cheese appetizer, the moussaka, the baklava, and the eggplant side! We also got an appetizer of sardines and he ordered a Greek drink. You seriously get so much food with this deal and every bite was divine. I recommend everything that we had. Greek Islands NYC is a gem in Little Neck. Please check them out for sweet night out!

    Still outstanding and at a reasonable price (compared to another Greek restaurant reviewed separately in Roslyn). We were four and managed dinner (no drinks) for just over $200 with tax and tip. My buddy and I ate relatively light with dinner salads ("Greek" and "Country"), which were fresh, crisp, and lightly dressed, and two orders of "Imam," which is their eggplant dish (previously described ... still delicious ... new photo appended). The girls both opted for different types of fish (which dominated the entrées here) and they enjoyed it. Parking and traffic at 6:30 PM on Saturday left us 15 minutes late, but our reservation was honored, including the table we requested against the wall. Once again, we ended by sharing Karithopita, a moist, brown, Greek, walnut cake (they provide large slices). It's a single room, relatively small, with the owner, a waitress, and a busboy serving the entire room ... yet attentively. The food came out without long waits, but they don't rush you if you want to linger.

    My first stop upon arrival ! Still delicious as it ever was. Fresh seafood. Divine fig ice cream. Anchovies were excellent. Best service. George and Evangeline welcome you like family.

    My favorite Greek place recently closed so I have been in search for a new one. Most important for me is a place that offers lamb chops, pastitsio and octopus. I heard good things about Greek Islands so I figured I would give it a try. I called to inquire about said items and spoke to George. He was friendly and welcoming, so I made a reservation. I thought parking might be a problem but around 5 PM on a Saturday night I found a spot on the side street. Toasted pita bread and chickpea salad were brought to the table which was a nice touch. We ordered octopus and a half order of the gigante beans as an appetizer. For mains, we ordered pastitsio, lamb chops, and branzino. All dishes were well seasoned and tasted great. The filet and 4 lamb chops were standard in size, but the pastitsio and side dishes of lemon potatoes, spinach and salad (with barely any cheese) were definitely on the smaller side. The sauce on the beans and tzatziki sauce were surprisingly very tasty. George even brought out a homemade sesame dessert on the house. All dishes could have been served hotter. They arrived warm at best. While George definitely made the dining experience pleasant, my issue would be that the prices were definitely a bit high for the portion size, especially given the lack of ambience and valet.

    I came here with my family on Saturday night. When we got there, there were tables open, but by 8pm it was packed! They had to have people eat in their outside area. The food was delicious! We started off with a complimentary pita and chickpea dish, which was delicious. We also ordered a Greek salad and hummus. They were very good as well. Salad was super fresh. I ordered the lamb gyro. I enjoyed it but felt it was tasteless without the tzatziki sauce. I chose spinach as my side and it was so good. My aunt ordered a Shrimp and Tuna kebab special, my uncle got a seafood pasta, my grandmother ordered branzino and my grandfather got salmon. Everyone enjoyed their dish. For dessert we had mousse and backlava. Both were delicious. We will for sure be back again!

    Cozy interior with great food! I was served by the owner and he was wonderful. They have lunch specials that includes Saturday! I will be returning again soon with my family.

    -Another great meal at Greek Islands in Little Neck. The seafood is delicious. The salmon in phyllo with a balsamic reduction glaze was so creative. The branzino filleted was cooked perfectly. A side of briam. Elliniki salad to start. Gratis chick pea salad with pita. What a perfect meal. Friendly service. 5 star evening.

    Went last night for my 25th Wedding Anniversary....First time here! George, the owner, seated us, he was super nice & very attentive to my husband & I. We had Saganki, Calamari & a soft shell crab for appetizers. All was delicious. The crab was seasoned very well. Yummy! My husband had a pink snapper special & I had a combo dish of Pork & gyro! They had a variety of sides that you could choose from, but I chose lemon potatoes, my husband had a beet salad in which he said was very good! My husband said they have the best tzatziki sauce he has ever tasted! George was very friendly & had a good sense of humor! By the end of the meal we were stuffed, and George offered us a dessert menu, we had to say no to dessert this time. George brought over some cookies that him and his wife make they were delicious. I will definitely be coming back. It's a very cute restaurant, with their decor, and felt very cozy

Crabtree 's did not disappoint. From the welcoming greeting, by professional restaurant staff, and not bored teenagers, to the impeccable service and food, our experience here was a pure delight.

While waiting at the bar for a friend to arrive, I was swarmed by fruit flies, which should have been my first warning sign. The pours at the bar were skimpy, but I tried to shake it off once we got our table. The service there was actually friendly, and our server proudly told us the duck was a top seller, so we ordered it along with a salad and a fish dish. Most of what came out of the kitchen was diner quality at best--nothing special, but not offensive. The duck, however, was a disaster. It tasted old and stale, like it had been sitting in a freezer for months before being rushed through a fryer. The meat was fried to a dry, brittle crisp, and the only flavor came from a cloying sweet duck sauce slapped on top. No richness, no tenderness, no redeeming qualities. We absolutely hated our meal and the entire time we spent there. I can't recommend this place to anyone who actually cares about what they eat.

My go-to order is the chicken over rice, which is always fresh, seasoned perfectly, and super filling. I've also had the combo rice platter, which is just as delicious. Each dish comes with a drink, which is a nice bonus. You can't go wrong with the white sauce, and if you're in the mood for some heat, the hot sauce adds a flavorful kick without overpowering the dish. I also recommend trying it with white sauce and BBQ sauce for a sweet and tangy twist. It's a takeout-only, cash-only spot with no seating, but the food is more than worth it. Parking is available either on the street or in the nearby strip mall lot, so it's pretty convenient. Service is pretty quick, but being the only good halal spot around the area, the line can back up since there is only 1 person usually in the cart. If you're in the area, this place is a no-brainer. Fast, tasty, and always hits the spot.
