Food was garbage, asked to talk to manager has exact words were I don't have time for you, but he took my $17 for garbage onion rings and a cheeseburger

Grace M.

So we are from out of town.. First thing that struck me is the naming and sign is very confusing- we were looking for Nicky's Gyros based on the Yelp- but from the road it's called Lure- so not sure what that's really about. The place in whole is clean from the looks of everything- it seems like this is more of a carry out place as the dinning room was empty. We carried out as well- I ordered a Gyro- meat was very tender and yummy. My husband got a bacon cheeseburger and loved it- he says better than most fast food places- we also both got fries... They were okay, nothing special.

Steak torta!

Stopped eating here. The food used to be great, then they changed quality of the burger and the chicken they use. On to something else.

Excellent gyros with lots of meat, delicious seasonings, and fresh toppings. This is everything a gyros should be.

The former JD's Que and Brew has been transformed into a lovely fast casual Greek restaurant with…read morecounter service. There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

Had great wine and food at this Greek restaurant in Arlington Heights. It looks a lot more casual…read morethan it actually is. Nostimo has better quality than how they present themselves. Actually has a drive thru so how classy can it be. The restaurant has options for families and groups. Coming in here it looked like a regular casual restaurant where you order at the counter. It's one of those places you get the food brought out. There's also a bar area you can get beer and wine. For certain it's not the average fast casual. It's about $8 for a glass. Best we had was the Roditis, which is a rosé from Corinthia. It's about $8 for the Hummus. Comes with lots of pita bread. The rest of the menu is meaty. Great place located on Rand at Chestnut. It's closed Mondays. There's the hummus for vegetarians.

The only thing I would make a suggestion on is to provide a little more to tzatziki sauce. The service was great. Very friendly. The owner was in the restaurant and I had a quick conversation with him. The atmosphere is honestly what kept me in there. They have the option to sit outside or dine inside and I opted to dine inside. The decor on the walls is lovely and the traditional music that they play inside is also nice. Will definitely be back.

The meat was really thick and I was excited to bite into it. It looked delicious. It was... juicy. It dripped when I bit into it like a smash burger. It was the consistency of a mushy meatloaf. I could only get one bite down and had to throw it away. I can't even describe the taste because I just wanted it out of my mouth. I have never eaten here. I don't know if this is a one time thing or they are prepared like that every time. Maybe the meat wasn't mixed properly or cooked long enough. I hope it was a one off problem. I won't be taking a chance and ordering again though. I wish them well.

Amazing that after all these years, and with huge crowds every night, Greek Islands still maintains…read moresuch a high level of food quality and service. We ordered the whole branzino with roast Greek potatoes, and it was every bit as good as the whole Greek-style fish we've been ordering since first coming here decades ago. The same with the horta (dandelion greens) which I recommend dressing with lemon juice, olive oil (there's a bottle on the table) and black pepper. Delicious. And there is no better taramasolata anywhere than here. Absolutely addictive. The kind they serve at other Greek places is just a pale imitation. Our waitress (I didn't catch her name, but she was from Russia) was an absolute delight. So friendly and efficient. I have one complaint. Egg-lemon soup is traditionally a dairy-free dish. But Greek Islands' version apparently contains milk or cream. I'm not 100% sure it does, but I have lactose intolerance and definitely suffered unpleasant aftereffects following dinner. I called the following morning and I was told that it does indeed contain milk or cream, but the guy I spoke to had a heavy accent so I'm still not sure. The point is, the menu should state clearly when a TRADITIONALLY DAIRY-FREE dish contains dairy for the benefit of people with lactose intolerance or -- much more seriously -- a dairy allergy. Not doing so is very, very irresponsible. That quibble aside, let me re-emphasize how impressive it is that this restaurant remains as good as it is after all these years.

Greek Islands is a family-owned spot with an authentic Greek neighborhood feel, thanks to its…read moreatmosphere, staff, and traditional dishes. I enjoyed the tzatziki, avgolemono, pastichio, and baklava. Everything was great, and it had been a while since I'd enjoyed such good Greek food. If you're exploring Chicago's Greektown, give it a try. I'll be back next time I'm in Chicago.
