    Chicken Fajitas
    Frank F.

    Food was excellent local cuisine cooked with care. Service was fast maybe 5 minutes for custom fresh orders. I had the fajitas they were good veggies and chicken superb quality, daughter had the burrito this thing was huge made me wish I had gotten the burrito, wife had catfish sandwich and fries. Served hot and crisp she loved it

    Italian Beef Sandwich!!!
    Denton Luke M.

    Not my first Visit, not my Last! This place is a GEM! The Italian Beef Sandwich is incredible! Onions, peppers, hot peppers, and a mountain of Beef! All on an incredible soft bun!! I had to come back a second day in a row to make sure I wasn't dreaming the first day! These guys are always super nice and helpful too! Seriously, it's that good.

    exterior (Note Washington St is not divided by the restaurant entrance.  You just have to watch traffic if crossing lanes.
    Ken N.

    What an eclectic mix of offerings for a small independent restaurant (I believe so!) that serves so quickly that we had hardly any wait in the drive through lane. Amazing! Though they do have some indoor dining, we decided to get ours to go through the drive up. We both ordered Greek food, though they have traditional Americana food, and some Mexican items too. I got the Chicken Gyro plate which has the Chicken gyro AND a small Greek Salad with Tzatziki sauce on the side. My wife just wanted the sandwich. We waited until we got home to eat but the sandwiches remained hot. I forgot how large and filling a gyro can be. These portions were plenty! In fact, trying to pick them up and fold them over to eat was a challenge they have so much stuff on them. I do wish they would cut the green peppers and onions a little smaller. I like my toppings to compliment, not dominate the meat portion of the sandwich. So, after removing some of the large pieces, and adding the sauce, we were able to enjoy our meal. I will admit I settled down with a knife and fork to cut the gyro down to a more manageable size and less mess at the table. ha! Good taste and really fast service. Nice tip: Although this shop is located on a busy section of East Washington Street, you can cross lanes without worrying about being blocked by a raised median strip by the entrance/exit. Just watch traffic since it can get busy here! Nice to know that if you change your mind for what sounds good, they have multiple options to choose from. Review #3887

    Greek Islands is one of those restaurants that is a cornerstone of local business in Indianapolis…read more Our family has been celebrating important events there for over 30 years. The service, the atmosphere, and the food are exceptional every time.

    We're always looking for good Greek food in Indianapolis and noticed this spot while eating…read moresomewhere nearby, so we decided to make a trip back downtown for it at a later time. Located in a cute blue house, this is conveniently located near Lucas Oil Stadium and there was a huge concert going on the night we were there, but we were still allowed to park in their parking area. Inside has nice lighting and is pretty plain but has a homey feel. The menu contains many items we're familiar with having visited Greece twice. So I'm going to be a little critical here with my review of the food. I ordered the Greek Spaghetti, which I have had in Greece. Unfortunately this was not at all what I was expecting or anything like Greek spaghetti. What I was served was basically Prego spaghetti sauce with pieces of gyro in it. Traditional Greek spaghetti (or Makaronia me Kima) is a wonderful sauce that's seasoned with all kinds of memorable spices. It's definitely not pieces of gyro meat thrown in a sauce. So while this was fine, it was not what I truly wanted or thought I was getting so I was pretty disappointed. My husband got the chicken souvlaki and that was better but still not quite like what I remember. The meat was almost smoked and lacked some of the Greek spices that gives it a distinct taste. And the tzatziki...well, let's just say it tastes like whipped feta and was lacking in flavor too. I did enjoy the pita bread. Our service was underwhelming as well. It took a while for anyone to notice we were there and needed to be seated and the server basically did the bare minimum, never even asking if we wanted our water refilled. Overall, it was fine. If I had never been to Greece, I may have a different opinion but this isn't someplace I really want to go back to.

The french fries were also very yummy. The feta, oil, and seasoning were delicious. While the food was good, I'm not sure $30 for these two is reasonable.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

Finally someone came over. We ordered teas & an appetizer of flaming saganaki. We found it very tasty. For entered I ordered the Greek meatball sandwich. My wife got a cup of egg lemon bowl ( which is a soup she loves) & Keftethes ( with beef meatballs). I found the fries god & the meatballs & bread decent but the sauce was a little off to me which greatly reduced my enjoyment. It was just ok. My wife thought the soup was a bit thin but overall god with a strong lemon flavor. Her entree the meatballs were good, the green beans were cold & the roasted potatoes were decent. Overall she was meh. We ordered desserts to go. Baklava, Galaktoboureko ( custard in philo dough) & Oreo cake. Wife thought the baklava had an overpowering cinnamon taste which hurt it. The Galaktoboureko was basically sugar cream pie with philo crust. I thought it was ok but wife thought it should have been thinner. She also believes the to go containers aren't sufficient for these desserts due to the sugar syrup. The "Oreo cake" had one cookie to the side & was dry. When we gave the waitress our gift certificate she said they would take that off when they rang up the bill. She came back & the gift certificates were not taken off. I pointed this out to her & she went back to talk to whoever is running the register. When she came back she said she has no idea what's going on but they gave me a $50 bill to credit the $50 in gift certificates. My amazing wife surmised that they credited someone else's bill & gave us the $50 to make it right for us. Bottom line is all the staff we interacted with were friendly but the restaurant is very disorganized. Food was just ok. Can't say we were impressed.
