The Greek Islands Restaurant

We have been dining here for 20 years. Our most recent visit was my wife's birthday. My son and his girlfriend joined us. Everything was perfect. Our waiter (forgot his name, the guy from Nepal) was excellent. Very attentive. Everything timed perfect. Saganaki cheese, salads and mains were very good.
Thank you for making it a memorable evening

Great experience. Snowy day so dinner service was 5 tables. Service, food, staff were all great.

I don’t usually rate places when we have a bad meal but this was an utter disappointment!
Over 100 dollars for the order.
Cold rice. Blurb said feeds 1-3 people barely enough for 1. The traditional Greek salad was mostly tomatoes that were mostly white. They tried to hide it with half a container of some liquid sauce. Horrible. First and last time I ever order from here. Too bad. Shameful!

Always nice when getting food to go and they've gone the extra mile with the takeout containers.
Menu has a great selection and everything tastes wonderful

The veal moussaka is amazing but the vegetarian moussaka is even better! The greek salad is fantastic.the chicken soup is exquisite.the baclava is heaven.i could go on and on.and the prices? You couldn't buy the groceries and make this stuff yourself for less.do yourself a favour.eat this food.i order in because the decor is a little dated and it is kind of out of the way on bath.

It's probably even a single star now, I'm being generous because I remember how it used to be. NEW OWNERS have apparently decided to cut the portion size in half and charge 40% more. Everything was luke warm, re-heated. The "Greek" food in the mall is better quality and value.

Delicious food! Exactly what I was looking for. I used to order from Minos on Barrie, but since they closed, I've been looking for a new place to get greek food. I'll definitely be ordering from here again!

Combination #1 and the wedge cut fries are delish. The containers the food comes in are all recyclable and can be used for storing leftovers. Amazing!

This place is great. Food is fantastic. Service is top notch. They treat you like they really want your business and want you to come back. I wish there were more than 5 stars to give.

A special shout out to the crew working at 7pm to 8pm Saturday, May 18,2019. The hostess. The waitress. The bussing crew and especially the kitchen. You guys hit it out of the park again.

I love this place. I come here with my mum (dinner/lunch) when she visits & we are obsessed with their moussaka & avglemono soup.the service is great, welcoming, friendly, it feels like a family & the portions are so generous. Also the potatoes & greek salad — so good.i cry.if i lived in walking distance id be here all the time lol. (ive also ordered on uber & it really hits the spot!)

Went to enjoy a nice Greek meal tonight with another couple. A member of the party started by going to the washroom and witnessed a staff member go to the washroom and leave without washing their hands. That's was enough for us. We left. Very disappointed

Popped in here for lunch, very impressed with the portion, quality of ingredients, prices and service!
I got their Greek chicken salad and it was delicious!

Setting was very nice, however a big disappointment; went there for lunch, service was very slow (it took more than 30 min even though there was only one other table occupied in the restaurant. The food was subpar, and the portions ridiculous considering the prices. Except for the grilled salmon dish which was the best, the rest was a joke: the dolmadakia (stuffed grape leaf rolls) were mainly rice, and they are service with rice an potatoes, the shrimp dish has 4 little (jumbo:) shrimp, and the calamari was the most expensive of all: it was 8 bites for $16 (I actually had to ask what happened to the rest.lol). Wouldn't go back. I see a lot of good reviews, maybe from dinner service.

Love their calamari. Was glad they reintroduced it to the menu. But the distributor failed to deliver this week and they only had the heavier battered overly spiced calamari that their new distributor had to offer. I invited my friends to accompany me to the restaurant as they said they were back to the lite tampura calamari as before. My friends wanted to go too. So, made a reservation, and as always asked to save an appetizer sized calamari. They told me it was the heavy spiced stuff they only had tonight but assured me they're going back to the original lite batter soon. This I had to figure out what I was going to get instead. I ordered a Greek salad and the butterflied shrimp. It was good. Really wanted the calamari tho. As well they were out of saganati cheese we always order to share. I hinted that someone should run over to Loblaws and buy more.it didn't happen

Atmosphere on point and the hostess went over and put us by the fireplace on one of the coldest days of the year. Food was great and service was as well. Will be back!

First time back in nearly 16 years, and it was still good. Mixture of classic Greek and Greek-Canadian (or Greek-American?) dishes, all well executed. It was dinnertime, and busy, but the staff were accommodating with letting one of our party order a dish from the lunch menu. Even in the Kingston scene, which is full of great spots, this one is worth trying.

Shaking off Christmas busy, by having a quiet dinner with my spouse. Their Lamb shank is to die for! Also the Chicken kabob.

Group of 13 people celebrating a birthday. Half of our table was served 25 minutes before the rest - most of party finished eating before rest of entrees were served. Full staff capacity and restaurant was not busy. Food was cold and underwhelming. Owners response was to offer 5% off of our total bill which was less than a cost of a fountain drink. Poor service and will not return.
Edit: after speaking with the owner who initially had said the birthday meal was paid for and only the dessert had been removed from bill. Overall unsatisfied but did agree to remove one meal/dessert in addition to 5% off of bills. Server was lovely and very apologetic. Owner was quick to blame on kitchen staff which I felt was poor leadership on his part.

This used to be one of our favourite places to eat in Kingston. We have been dining here since it first opened.
Unfortunately there have been recent changes and it is not what it used to be. It is now mediocre. Hopefully things will return to form, but my hopes are very low after the chat I had with the staff regarding the obvious changes.
After the dinner we were served this past weekend we will not be returning again.
