Greek Islands Menu

Greek Islands Restaurant Review:

This downtown Birmingham hangout is where high school kids meet before a movie and pile into booths; families do the same, and couples grab the two-person booths that run down the center of the room. Noise levels are a notch below booming and the crowd seems to be having a fine time as plates-full of fries, Coney Island hot dogs slathered in chili, and giant shakes fly out of the kitchen. Everyone likes the flaming cheese served with shouts of "Opa!" But we also recommend the Greek Islands special salad, served with grilled, buttery pita bread. Then again, Michiganders might order the Michigan Greek salad with dried cherries, walnuts and raspberry vinaigrette. Others dishes to grab: the gyro platter, spinach pie or the broiled shish kebab. Homemade rice pudding provides a good ending, as does the classic baklava. Check out the website for daily specials, such as homemade soup of the day or a Greek burger.
