Reviews for Greek Islands Restaurant in Omaha, NE
First time visit. The atmosphere was average and nothing to crow about. Service was quick and attentive. Ordered grilled... chicken sandwich with steak fries. The plate size was generous. (Friend of mine had salad and it was huge for a smallorder) The steak fries tasted a little plain, not seasoned enough. The chicken was grilled but it was very dry. The seasoningon top of the chicken added good flavoring but it was quite hard to get past thr dryness of the chicken. The buns was moist andhelped with the sandwich. Their bread before the meal was deliciously good. They had a few baby flies around the area which Ifound myself swatting away. Two of them perched on the wall right above me. For the price, I expected better. I have hadbetter experiences in fast food places. Difficult to rate so ill leave it a three star for average. Read more

A nice Greek restaurant that has some delicious options. We had a number of items but some were definitely better than others on... our visit. I liked that they served us bread with butter right away as our party was hungry. Tour of Greece Tiropita (cheese inphylo pastry) 3 stars. I could taste the oil and it was pretty heavy that it coated my fingers. Whatever oil it was there was aslight off taste for me on the one I tried Spanakopita 5 stars this was my favorite of the items. There was no excess of oil onthis one. Keftedes (meatballs) 4.25 stars, second favorite item. It had good flavor and moist Gyro meat 4 stars decent flavor,moist Feta 4.5 stars It was good Mixed grill 4 stars It was served on a pita bread with onions and tomatoes Lamb 3.75 my lambwas overcooked which might have led it to be dry. Shrimp 5 stars Pikilia 5 stars Chicken riganato 5 stars this is what I wouldcome back for Pork slouvaki 3.75 stars the slouvaki was dry in this case but was a bit better than the Lamb. The only reason itis equal in rating is because I have a personal preference for lamb. Dolmamthes 4.75 stars a very good version. I'm not always afan of this item but I enjoyed this one a lot. Moussaka 4.5 stars very very tasty Loukaniko 3.5 stars Is an orange peelsausage? But it wasn't our favorite here. I didn't order it so I don't remember the details but I did try my friendsorder. Parking is available in a dedicated medium sized lot. The lemon potatoes were also a win. Everyone liked the housesalad. It's very simple but was fresh. The olives that came with it were very tasty.

So, I?m really saddened about having to give this review. I came here as a child many times with my grandparents. It?s been... years since I visited. So, I thought I would take my daughter and enjoy the amazing food they have to offer. Well, unfortunatelyit was not the visit I was expecting. The wait for start was long, for everything- water, appetizer and our main dishes. Weended up having our main dishes boxed up to take home. I was honestly just fed up with the experience and needed to go. Thewaitress seemed annoyed. I tried to be extra nice and grateful, as I know it is a hard job. But continued to get blank irritatedlooks from her. Most importantly, they really need to replace the glass table covers as they are chipping in several places.This is dangerous for everyone, especially children! The 2 stars are for the food. The flavor is still there! The generousserving size is still there! Hopefully they can get the tables fixed and work on hiring and training friendly staff. Read more
Tried the tour of Greece. Amazing. My favorite was the Domantas though All of it was excellent. Greek potatoes? YES PLEASE!!... Server was swift and pleasant. Appetizers were so yummy. I had to buy a bottle of their house Greek salad dressing because itwas SO good Read more
It was nice overall. There are some things on the menu to give a reason to go back and try some other things. I didn't get to... take pictures of our food. I was starving. The Lemon Sunshine cake is DE-LIGHTFUL!! The Greek Salad is almost perfectlyauthentic like in Crete. Lovely date ???? with my ????!! Read more
