Reviews of Island
m. k.
Incredible restaurant, food and staff!!! Seriously delicious food, I was the most impressed with the tzaziki and baklava, best ones I have ever eaten! They give you free olives and bread when you first come in and end you with glass of port style wine, also gratis. Prices are very good, staff are lovely and authentic, decor is stunning and the music is fun and puts you in the right mood. I had three starters instead of the main so that I get to try lots of things and it was not a problem at all. Also let us book on the day, very accommodating! Will definitely be back to try more things! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!

My friends booked this place as they love to come here for dinner and now I understand why. It's a lovely Greek restaurant, decorated to remind you of Greece. The host, a gentleman, was lovely and very funny. The food was amazing, from starters to the mains to the Greek coffee. Lovely. Music good as well. Absolutely loved it.
N. P.
Attentive service. Clearly a family run restaurant. Father and daughter where running the restaurant when we dined.
My partner booked by the mother via email and being from Kent he asked where to park. Very helpfully was given address of local cheap car park
Would recommend
Food very good quality
T. C.
A brilliant Greek restaurant.
I am sure it is family run.
The passion of the man and his daughter who were working the night that I went was amazing.
I will return and what a great advert for visiting Greece if this is the level of service and quality of food that you get.
I ordered the Fillet of sea bass but unfortunately they had none.
Both the man and his daughter were both so very apologetic.
When I was informed of this I changed to a vegetarian dish, Briam i think that it was....
The man offered to fillet another of the fish on the menu that would have been served whole for me.
I declined he insisted it was no trouble and would be happy to do but I still declined.
This was a really impressive level of service.
They provided free olives water and bread.
Wow awesome.
Also the Briam was delightful for sure.
We were offered extra bread as well as a lovely after dinner Greek drink
I highly recommend Island for the quality of the food and the service that is truly exceptional.
D. D.
Unbelievable! Honestly can’t praise this restaurant highly enough. The whole experience, the greeting, the staff, the service was 10/10 but the then the food started arriving that’s where the game changed! Traditional homemade Greek cuisine.. I’m not usually one to take photos of food but this one I had to share! The seafood platter 😍
F. S.
The service was excellent, staff are so lovely, real traditional Greek hospitality & the atmosphere on a Saturday night made it a great evening.
We started with a bunch of appetisers to share :
Saganaki - perfect, not greasy, just the right amount of squeakiness
Courgette fritters - lovely light batter, nice & crunchy
Meatballs - heavenly! So light & fluffy, almost like a mousse
Spanakopita- my go to in Greece, wasn’t disappointed
Tzatziki - just as it should be
For main I had Kleftiko - lamb just melted in my mouth, a must have. My friends had Stifado - tender beef in a rich sauce, and pork gyros - lovely juicy & well seasoned
We booked weeks in advance for a Saturday so do plan ahead to not be disappointed. Island is better than some Greek tavernas I’ve been too & is well deserved to be called the best place to eat in Worcester
J. H.
The best.
We’ve eaten in restaurants all around, from Brisbane to New York but our favourite restaurant in the entire world is on a corner in little old Worcester called Island.
The owner and staff make you feel part of the family, outstanding service by outstanding people, great the daughter has joined the team
However nothing is more outstanding than the delightful food, it’s so hard to choose what to have from the starters, yesterday we had the lovely saganaki grilled cheese, the Greek sausage which was fab but ultimately the best thing they do in my opinion is the kleftiko, it is truly my favourite dish in the entire world.
Do yourself a favour and give this place a try
x. i. o. h.
I ordered a whole seabass with greek style cooked vegetables and all was delicious. The staff and the owner were lovely and helped me to choose the right white wine for my dinner. I will go again.
S. B.
Had the most wonderful evening at Island. The warmth of the staff is astounding.
Food is brilliant full of flavour and presentation perfect.
Wine flowed freely and was very good.
If you want that Greek Taverna experience in Worcester then book your table.
You won’t be disappointed.
Enjoy as we have.
T. S.
What an absolutely fantastic find! We've been lucky enough to try lots of Greek restaurants in the UK and I can honestly say this one is the best we've been to. It was busy but not overly so (Saturday night), the service from the owner and his lovely daughter was fantastic! We had excellent service, excellent wine and ouzo, and even better food!
If you want authentic Greek food, like you were in Greece... look no further, it really was excellent!
Thanks for a lovely evening. 5*+
L. E.
Our first time visiting and it was brilliant! It was a surprise dinner for my partners birthday and it literally felt like we were back on our holiday in Greece! The food was delicious - every course tasty and well portioned but more than the food, the service was fantastic! Attentive without being intruding, friendly and efficient. It was a busy Tuesday evening and every table was taken care of brilliantly! We hope every evening is just as busy for this gem of a restaurant and we look forward to visiting again soon! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience! xx
P. R.
What a wonderful evening we had! We had booked a table for the Wednesday night and are glad we did, it was packed! Which shows just how wonderful this place is! A lovely atmosphere inside with all social distancing measures in place. The service was excellent, very friendly and informative and the food was superb!
C. P.
Delicious authentic Greek food. We had the mixed grill and it was delicious and a huge serving. The owner was very attentive, great service.
Cannot recommend enough, definitely will be going back.
K. B.
Beautiful, intimate dining experience with wonderful hosts. Excellent quality, large portion, tasty dishes make this the go to place to eat in Worcester! Book well in advance as tables are limited and it is very popular.
S. N.
Superb food and Friendly staff. They gave olives and bread at the beginning. Olives were brilliant and the bread, wow :)
We had Calamari which was well cooked and warm, Aubergine meze which was delicious, and lamb which was also amazing. A very nice greek white wine that we loved.
Will definitely come again.
m. c.
Excellent food, family run, very friendly, would definitely recommend
L. K.
I can see why this is the best restaurant in Worcester! We went for a family meal on a Friday evening and it was amazing. The atmosphere was great, the staff were lovely and attentive and the food was brilliant. We will be back.
L.
Lovely restaurant and staff so friendly but unfortunately the food had too much salt on it. I definitely think they should let you add our salt. Otherwise was lovely
G. B.
It's a lovely family run restaurant and you become a part of the family. Great atmosphere, really good food and wonderful people. Don't miss out!
M. D.
Delicious, authentic Greek food & vibe. The wine by the carafe was fantastic, and service was friendly and excellent. A must-visit in Worcester!
B. S.
Constantina is amazing! Runs the place like a dream. Her Mum cooks amazing food. It good that her Dad, Alex helps out in the evenings when it is busy.

Having recently visited Rhodes for the first time and falling in love with Greek cuisine we decided to give Island ago.
One word I’ll use is “wow”
Firstly service, I presume the owner is simply fantastic, it’s his pleasure to make you happy, he did and so did the other lady, instantly make you feel one of the family.
He was extremely concerned that myself and my wife didn’t finish our meals, don’t pay if you’re not happy he said (you don’t get that often) the truth was we’d eaten far to much of the starters! He kindly wrapped up the left overs for takeaway and they are warming in the oven as I type.
They didn’t have talagani cheese(the best) but as an alternative they had kefalotiri fried cheese, simply delicious I urge you to try it.
Mains we had stifado and kleftiko, the wife’s stifado was delightful, but the kleftiko was simply one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten, absolutely mouthwatering.
I actually can’t remember if we had dessert, I drank far to much Greek beer and wine, absolute must visit 👍👏👏
A. J.
Great family run restaurant with very friendly service. All the dishes were delicious with a homely touch. Beautiful food and beautiful people. My restaurant of choice in Worcester.
K. Y.
What a wonderful find. A truly great Greek restaurant, run by a lovely family. The food and service were outstanding, I only wish I lived closer! If you want to feel like you're away somewhere warm and sunny, eat here! The mixed grill and lamb chops were the best. Thank you.
J. W.
Great food from a family run restaurant. Very friendly staff, fantastic flavours to the food.
I. J.
Went for the first time this evening and will definitely go back.
Warm, welcome service from the moment we stepped inside. Authentic, delicious Greek food run by passionate people!
D. P.
Been three times now, this is exactly how a family run restaurant just runs rings around chain outlets. Lamb chops to die for, but don't have the tzatziki unless you really like garlic. Which we do!
J. W.
Omg it was amazing. Great value, great atmosphere, great service. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and we all loved it. Definitely worth a visit.
M. L.
Brilliant authentic Greek family run restaurant. Attentive service and well cooked food. A must visit restaurant for a great night out.
J. P.
If you live even remotely close to Worcester and haven’t eaten at Island Greek Taverna, have a word with yourself!
Incredible authentic food, wonderful staff & an awesome neighbourhood vibe.
C. W.
An absolutely amazing restaurant, feels like sitting 🪑 eating the best Greek Food in a Greek Taverna - a little bit of Greece 🇬🇷 in Worcester (it’s like a mini holiday at home)! 💙
D. W. B.

We just returned from a wonderful evening at Island to celebrate my birthday. The food is amazing, authentic and well presented. Following recipes handed down for generations and it showed in every mouthful...perfection! The owners are so welcoming and friendly, making their guests feel special and looked after. Nothing was too much trouble, perfect hosts in every way. A wonderful, relaxed atmosphere and you were not made to feel rushed. You could relax and enjoy your meal.It may have been our first visit, but will not be the last. If you have not been there yet, don't hesitate, if you are visiting Worcester do not miss out out. You will not be disappointed
J. P.
Went to Island Restaurant to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious and the atmosphere great. The restaurant was busy and despite being a member of staff short we wouldn't have known if we hadn't been told. We weren't rushed at all and the owner and waitress were both so friendly and welcoming. Delicious food, generous portion sizes, brilliant staff and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back - thank you!
B. V.
A special place. One of the best restaurant meals I've had in years and impeccable service. Great value. Delicious salt crusted sea bream and roast vegetables in a tomato sauce. An orange cake made of filo pastry, yoghurt, eggs and syrup that was exceptional. Simple things done incredibly well. This restaurant made me wish I lived in Worcester.
L. W.
This was our first visit to this amazing restaurant. The food was superb with so many choices. We decided on the mixed seafood platter. It was every bit as good as we have had in Greece. The service, ambiance and the friendly staff made it a wonderful evening. Thank you we will return very soon 😊
T. E.
Fantastic food! The owner really cares about your experience. Small place where everyone feels very well taken care of. Will come again when I'm next in Worcester.
A. H.
Fantastic experience at Island tonight. We came to the restaurant having not booked (best to book) and the very friendly and caring manager was able to find us a table even though all the tables were reserved σας ευχαριστώ!! The food tasted amazing and the saganaki was the best we have ever had. I would 100% recommend this independent establishment!
T. R.
An absolutely excellent place for Greek food in Worcester. The service was great and also very friendly, we were made to feel very welcome.
The menu was fantastic with a great choice of authentic Greek dishes, we went for a tapas selection with wine which was all very reasonably priced.
I would highly recommend this place!
J. C.
Our first time to Island last night, we had an excellent evening.
The food was great, the staff were very pleasant and nothing was to much, good value and go hungry, I would recommend the meat sharing platter it was excellent.
Would recommend you book so you are not disappointed
D. R.
On business in Worcester and decided I couldn’t walk past for a third night. Fantastic welcome, great staff (and Greek), nice city centre view of the church, authentic Greek music, great menu, but ultimately extremely tasty, fresh authentic Greek cuisine!! Tasted amazing. Highly recommend
S. B.
Delicious food, excellent service and very friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
H. H.
Our New favourite restaurant! We visited Worcester from Malvern just to try out this excellent highly- reviewed restaurant. It did not disappoint!
The food is absolutely outstanding, wonderful quality, truly the most authentic taste of Greece we've experienced outside of the Greek Islands.
Portions are generous, we chose three seafood dishes, one being the Greek sea bream and it was all exceptional & tasted fresh.
All three courses were delicious with so many tempting options on the menu it was hard to choose!
For the quality of food & amount- the prices are quite reasonable we thought it was brilliant value for money.
The staff were very warm, friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed chatting to them.
Atmosphere is lovely and traditional like being transported to a tavern in Greece.
We will be coming back very soon.
S. L.
Really nice Greek food. Follow the advice of the owner and order the kebab platter. Put everything on the bread and roll it. It is really delicious!!
Z. R.
Great place for dinner, great foods, great hospitality and very good price . You are truly experiencing greek hospitality in Worcester.
D. B.
Family of 5 adults on the 18/06, dining at 8pm. What a great reception, from start to finish our experience was amazing. I took my family here and it was our 1st time. All our food was of the highest quality, with authentic tastes of Greece. The platters are fantastic. Thank you so much for making our evening. I really can't recommend the Island enough! Super
M. W.
What a gem of a find! We went yesterday as a party of 4 for my husband’s birthday / retirement. Alexandros was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble. He spent time talking to every table but was not intrusive. And the food? Fantastic authentic Greek dishes, cooked and served to perfection. The tzatziki was sublime and the kleftiko was exquisite. Definitely on ‘Greek time’ when you go to Island, there is no rushing through courses, just time to sit, talk, savour the food and enjoy your time there. We will definitely be returning.
J. B.
We always struggle to find a nice restaurant when we go out, we love good food, and certainly found it tonight, thank you island we will definitely return 🥰
E. P.
Wonderful atmosphere and extremely friendly owners and staff. Food is authentically Greek and tastes delicious. Will definitely be coming back here again. You can see why it's so popular!
D. H.
Absolutely wonderful. Authentic Greek food that transported me to holidays in Crete. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and sublime hospitality. Can't wait to go back again and again!
A. C.
This is a restaurant who are passionate about their food and customer service, best food I have tasted in a very long time and certainly plan future visits here. A must visit for anyone in Worcester. Strongly recommend the Kleftico, absolute perfection.
B. D.
Amazing quality food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Would highly recommend, definitely on of the best restaurants in Worcester!
A. L.
Friendly and welcoming staff and lovely food. The house wine by the glass or half and whole carafe was offered to try and was very good. We will be back!
M. B.
Alex runs the best Greek Restraunt in Worcester full stop.
S. R.
Booked as saw busy night before. Wonderful food. Fresh and tasty. Complimentary bread and olives. Seabass cooked to perfection. Husband had mousakka. Also delicious he said. Complimentary drink at end of meal finished off a wonderful meal. Alex attentive to everyone. Would definitely go again if in Worcester!! Thank you all x x
K. M.
Me & my family visited here this evening for my birthday. The food was incredibly delicious and everyone commented on how tasty it was. The owner & host was very friendly and extremely attentive and even gave me a birthday gift which was a nice touch. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice meal with great service and a pleasant ambience.
L. W.
Beautiful meal
Excellent value for money. I ordered 3 chicken souvlaki, it was a large meal of chicken, pitta bread, salad and Greek chips with a dip. The flavour was lovely. Served well in takeaway box.
Great communication from owner, who was helpful and friendly
Can't wait to eat there when they are open but covid safe and following guidelines
Couldn't recommend it more
E. E.
Good Greek food. Friendly helpful owner.
N. L.
Having just spent most of the last year living in Greece, on my return I was told about this restaurant which is fairly new to Worcester. On visiting it for the first time I was struck by the high quality, authenticity and value of the food and the friendly family atmosphere. It is by far the best Greek restaurant I have ever been to in the UK.
Παρά πολύ νόστιμο!!
M. H.
Perfect food only outclassed by the friendly service. Superb veggie and vegan choices. Make sure you book to avoid disappointment.
G. B.
this is the definition of authenticity.
A greek family, originally from Corfu, cooking their countries favourite dishes to their own family recipes, and providing that feel good factor and friendliness of a typical greek taverna. music, ambience, the only thing missing is 30+ degrees heat and the sea.
free olives and bread, and a free sweet red wine to finish, sealed a perfect evening
highly recommended, you must go...
J. A.
My partner and I were staying in Worcester fir few days and ate here one evening,, the service and food were wonderful. I choose the sea bream which came whole, I asked if the head could be taken off , the gentleman who ran the restaurant with his daughter said he would ask the chef to fillet the fish, he went far above what was expected. The fish was very very tasty although I struggled to finish it after having a starter of calamari which was best I had ever tasted. Keep up the good work, just wish there was a Greek restaurant like Island where I live. Thank you
p. y.
Superb Food and the owners are extremely friendly. Service was quick. Would recommend
D. 1.
We enjoyed a lovely tradional dinner here. Worcester has needed a good Greek restaurant for so many years. The service is friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. It's got a pleasant relaxing atmosphere. Good traditional menu - and the house white is moreish . Generous, tasty portions and great value for money.
D. H.
Very good! Generous portions and great souvlaki and roasting hot kleftiko. The chef's own tzatsiki is first rate. Give it a go!
a. p.
From the moment I walked in until I left I was accommodated extremely well. There is an authentic, family atmosphere with great food. I cant wait to come again next time I am in Worcester (October - see you then !)
Thank you guys !
J. Q.
Food fit for an Olympic God. Everything was absolutely delicious, beyond words! The attention was also excellent, kind and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.
T. O.
Covid secure, great friendly atmosphere and lovely food.
M. T.
We ate here tonight and really enjoyed our meal. The service was great, not at all hurried, a very relaxed atmosphere.
We enjoyed complementary olives and pitta as we looked at the menu, we chose taramasalata and calamari for starters which were delicious and kebab platter and chicken souvlaki for mains, again delicious and freshly cooked.
Our host came with a lovely Greek yoghurt and nuts after our meal, a complimentary dish.
We will definitely be back, it was a lovely meal, thank you!
A. P.
Do not confuse Island with the last Greek eatery at this location. This place is excellent. I wouldn't say it has full restaurant status but think of it as a kind of cafe-bar taverna and you'll love it. We had a mixed starter cold platter and the hot grilled feta and peppers which set the mood. This was quickly followed by a shared starter for 2, a Kleftiko and a kebab platter. Delicious. Service is excellent but not too much and we came away feeling slightly spoilt and very satisfied. Will certainly be back.
W. C.
Lived here for my whole life - and this is the best experience I've had in a Worcester restaurant. Food was fresh and really tasty, but the customer service of the owner was unbelievable. Couldn't recommend enough.
R. B.
Visited on a mid week evening with my partner and mother in law, we all agreed, truly authentic Greek food, fresh and cooked from scratch, good wine, great value for money, manager/owner very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended the whole experience and will definitely be visiting again soon.
C. F.
A genuinely Greek experience, loved it
J. C.
Had lunch here today with a friend and we both loved our meal. Was cooked from scratch, manager very friendly and helpful and food very authentic defiantly going back. Think will end up being a regular eating hole. Couldn't recommend this enough. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Amazing Greek restaurant. The host is fantastic, food superb and reasonably priced.. In fact it makes you feel like you are on holiday!
R. D.
Excellent, authentic Greek food. Large portions and fantastic flavours. Great service and looking forward to going back.
E. E.
Will definitely visit again, could not fault quality of food and service.
S. C.
Absolutely amazing food. The owner Alex was very hospitable and friendly, he couldn't do enough for us. Excellent value for money and delicious Greek cuisine. Definitely be going back again.
M. T.
I love to go to Greece as often as possible but due to the lockdown it has not been possible this year. I have been here a number of times for takeouts and to eat in since it opened and the food has always been AMAZING. I always have extra tzatiki as they order it in from Greece (the yogurt here is just not the same!). the rest of the menu has as much attention to detail to. Alex the owner is so attentive and makes me feel like I am on holiday in Greece. As soon as my glass is empty he makes sure to ask if I would like anything else and is always easy to chat to. Islands is becoming a firm favourite of ours, I brought my family here today and we will be returning often as they loved it just as much as me and my partner do.
J. M.
I got very excited when I heard we had a Greek restaurant opening in Worcester. I was eager to visit and was not disappointed.
Everything that came to our table was delicious. We ordered a variety of starters, mains and puddings (also sampling the coffee at the end) so we have a pretty good idea of the consistent quality of all the food. The olive oil, the souvlaki, it all tasted as if it were straight from a Greek kitchen. Even just the hummus and pita had us reminiscing about past holidays. I can heartily recommend the stifado (slow cooked beef in a rich sauce), for when the weather is cold and you need something warm and filling.
The staff are incredibly friendly, and I believe it is a family run establishment, which leant it a comfortable, homely atmosphere.
From the bottom of my heart, I hope this place does well, because I would like the chance to try the other dishes on the menu.
R. M.
WOW!! just got home from island. First visit and definately not the last. By far my favourite restaurant in worcester now. The most delicious food, amazing, attentive service. Alex, the owner, so friendly and helpful... First class. Thank you Alex ❤
T. N.
Wow. Seriously fabulous food, a succession of subtle and delicate tastes that were a match for both a posh Athens restaurant and a funky Volos taverna. Lovely atmosphere, service attentive but unobtrusive, delicious house red, good coffee, excellent tsipouro, yummy dessert whose name I was enjoying myself too much to register. For this I'd expect to pay well over the odds - in fact the bill was very reasonable indeed. Move over Thai Gallery, Ostlers and Olive Branch, I have a new favourite restaurant. What a delight!
A. M.
Perfect evening with great food,service,ambience this is a great restaurant that serves beautifully cooked Greek food.Its very rare these days to find a good Greek restaurant as they seemed to have slipped out of fashion.This one ticks all the boxes.
K. D.
Island: a pinch of Greek’s sea breeze and the delicious smells and tastes of Genuine Greek food. Amazing service and the experience of the greatest Greek hospitality. The restaurant’s decoration and the layout of the tables as well as the colourful food landing on your table makes you feel you are in a Greek Island sipping through the best Greek white wine! I recommend this place to all food lovers! Try the vegetarian Mousaka - best ever! Meat platter and portokalopita - I guarantee you will love it and a variety of Mezes/Tapas for different tastebuds! Will go back week after week!
A. C.

I have been visiting the Greek islands with my wife for the past 27 years and to my surprise while driving in Worcester the other day I noticed that Santorini blue colour and the name 'Island'. On the very day I told my wife that we needed to go try out the new Greek place. The welcoming of the owner himself made us feel as if we were back in Greece. We sat down and were almost immediately served pita bread and olives on the house as a welcome dish. We started off with some fried calamari and prawn saganaki, the calamari was perfectly fried and tender and the saganaki was out of this world. As a main course, my wife and I tried the mousaka as it was our favourite dish whenever we visited Greece- the best mousaka we've ever had in the past 27 years was believe it or not, served to us in this very restaurant. For pudding we had a Greek yogurt-orange cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, followed by two shots of tsipouro (on the house), a perfect ending to our meal. Thank you Alex (owner) for the great hospitality, we will be back soon!!
M. M.
Authenticity is the word that best describes this place. Great food, very warm and friendly service. Would recommend for sure!
L. A.
A beautiful addition to Worcesters eateries. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and very fresh!! Hands down the best Greek food I’ve tried outside of Greece.
S. F.
Delicious and authentic greek food!
K. K.
Amazing independently owned restaurant near the old bridge in Worcester
Fantastic Greek food, and the owner is fab.
Well worth a visit. Highly recommend
v. k.
First time we tried here, and sinse we both lived in Crete for 20 years, we were delighted with the standard of food and Alex's wonderful filoxenia. You should try this fab little place, it was like being back in the village in Crete.
P. H.
Feel gutted that we discovered Island so late (ate here last night, 10th July 2020), but as Alex said, better late than never!
Was fantastic, service, food, portions, everything.
As has been mentioned previously,very traditional, all that's missing is the ocean... Although the Severn is only a couple of hundred yards away!
Worcester has been crying out for a Lovely Greek restaurant, so we will be spreading the word to make sure Island remains!
It's only just reopened after the Covid Crisis but is very safe, organised and clean, so please don't be put off and book yourselves up..... 10/10....🇬🇷
n. o.
The best food .fast service.good value for money.
B. C.
We would highly recommend Island, Alex and his team are so friendly , from the beautiful island of Corfu, Ionian islands, so it’s authentic aswell as the food is lovely.
Highly recommend and please support this place, it would be great if this place succeeds and let’s hope it does. 10/10 💯

A lot to live up to given my (half) greek heritage!. I can safely say that Aleko's homemade food and greek wine more than passed the test (decent tzatziki/saganaki/etc)
Aleko will have to prepare a large table for us again in the very near future! Efharisto Poli!
