Despite their relatively tiny spot within the city, Island Greek manages to serve some of the most satiating, big flavour Greek fare. This tan-tiled, late-night counter manages to make room for a few seats, but on busy nights, you might want to plan on the potential of takeout. The donair, served with their own concoction of sweet sauce, will definitely delight. For the Greek experience, however, you should grab a chicken souvlaki on a pita, which comes with their homemade tzatziki sauce on a thick Greek pita.
You knew there had to be a straight-up takeout place on this list, right? Island Greek is it. Technically you can eat in, but the tiny seating area and sketchy-at-night location mean it's better to order out. There aren't many late-night offerings in Metro to match their authentic gyro on freshly house-made pita bread. Vegetarians can order the same bread but bursting with Greek salad. They also do pretty fair pizza, donairs, burgers and hand-cut fries for those who want mainstream takeout.
Sometimes, you don’t want an extravagant, gourmet meal, but rather a guilty pleasure, usually something that isn’t exactly health food. Island Greek offers a large menu that consists of a lot of guilty pleasures, including pizza, donairs and, of course, poutine. Try original, Greek and donair poutines and substitute your fries for potato wedges if you’d like. A huge draw for customers is the restaurant’s Wednesday $3.99 large-poutine deal.
