Greek Islands Restaurant

Went based solely on it being the top suggestion on google when we were out in Abbotsford for the day and trying to decide on dinner. And it did not disappoint!

Walked in on a busy Saturday night without a reso and they still managed to sit us immediately.

The food was PHENOMENAL. We had the roast lamb dinner, and half rack of lamb - chops style. I picked up the bone in my roast lamb and the meat literally fell off. It was perfection. Complete heaven. The potatoes were so gorgeously marinated and packed with flavour. Even down to the little things like basting the pita with garlic butter (no dry pita here!) and the seasoning on the steamed veg. Just, chef's kiss! And the baklava was incredible! The perfect portion for the end of a large meal, but when you just want to end on a sweet note. We also took home some of the Greek dressing they make in-house and it is ridiculously good! I could drink it by the gallon. We were also lucky enough to snag a bottle of the fig infused balsamic glaze made by one of the owner's cousins in Greece (iirc) - too perfect because we had just picked up some brussel sprouts that we wanted to roast with some kind of drizzle glaze.

And, of course, the service was next LEVEL. Truly, you can tell how well the staff are trained, work together, and how much they love and have passion for what they do. It shows in spades. The owners were going around setting up tables with the servers and checking in on diners throughout the night. Truly, I could espouse their virtues until I turn blue in the face. And I know I wasn't the only one taken by the level of service, I overhead another table saying how impressed they were.

All in all, this was a fabulous way to end our date day out in Abbotsford, with a soul-nourishing meal among incredibly passionate and caring people doing an amazing job.

Shout out to one of the owner's, Yianni, who stopped by our table to check-in on us, and our server, Jazmine, who was absolutely killing it all evening with all her tables! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We will definitely be making the trip out from Vancouver again!
