A wonderful blend of Greek and Italian food selections. Classic dishes from both cultures with some fusion dishes mixed in. Had steak kebobs and chicken wrap. Both were great with top notch quality meats perfectly prepared. Spacious comfortable setting with lots of patio seating as well.

I was excited to try this Restaurant which opened four months ago. I went in for dinner today the restaurant is empty and only one person is working he looks so angry and treated me so bad after that the food come out after 35 min. it was very cold, the rice looks like 2 days ago ,the chicken shawarma taste very bad with small black staff in it. the surprise come here when i found a service charge of 10 percent !!! i looked everywhere in the menu to find something about this service charge but even no sign or something very bad experience I will never come again they are thieves !!!!

Just had lunch here with my daughter. I had the Santorini salad with chicken shwarma and my daughter had the beef wrap, Food was excellent. Fresh and seasoned perfectly. I was surprised how much shwarma came for a very small cost. This place opened in the middle of this pandemic. I am hoping enough of us Islands residents go or order enough to keep them around.

Food is freaking amazing. Incredible flavors, but not for the unadventurous - lots of things I've never heard of or seen before. It's a Greek / Italian fusion. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors. Atmosphere is good. Our waiter want very friendly, bit not 100% sure he was confident in his English. They need wait staff, but they're a new restaurant and may be struggling to get off the ground. Amazing flavors - I really hope this place makes it.

I get food can be a hit or miss but terrible service followed lack of care for your only 2 customers.... not best first impression.

Had an amazing dinner last night at this charming restaurant. The decor is light and beautiful with traditional Greek vibrant blues and gorgeous ceramic tiles. My family and I enjoyed our entrees. Lamb ribs, lamb shanks and ribeye steak. We started with the stuffed artichoke hearts and pasta in a flavorful tomato sauce. Everything was fresh, delicious and on point. We wrapped up the meal with cappuccinos and baklava. Both of which were extraordinary. We have been here a few times and find the food to be consistent and fresh with every visit. We are a large Sicilian family with a vast knowledge of great Mediterranean dishes. This restaurant specializes in Greek and Italian fusion cuisine. They offer takeout and currently have coupon discounts. Be sure to give them a call and inquire. They don't serve alcohol or wine but you are welcome to bring in your own which I actually preferred. Only suggestion I have is that they keep an ample amount of wine glasses. Service was great and Achmed was very attentive and gracious. Hoping that word of mouth spreads fast and keeps this restaurant thriving. Looking forward to the cooler weather so we may enjoy the beautiful patio seating they have to offer!!

Awesome awesome experience. The host and food were superb!!!My husband decided to take me out for a surprise Anniversary lunch. We had never been there before and the decor and music were so soothing when we entered. We were seated by Ahmed who gave us a full menu and took his time to explain all the dishes and answer all my questions. Our meal was served very eloquently and displayed beautifully!I highly recommend this amazing restaurant for its excellent service, beautiful atmosphere and deliciously prepared food cooked fresh to order. And even the bathrooms were immaculate! Thank you Ahmed for a FABULOUS ANNIVERSARY LUNCH!!!! We will be back!

My mother and I found Kavala in the neighborhood this evening and it was delicious! It's just getting started, opened about two months ago. We loved it all (lamb shank entree, chicken orzo soup, green tea), but the stuffed artichoke signature dish and mint lemonade stole the show! We brought the walnut baklava home.Stop in and show them some support!
2 months new to the neighborhood and we're hooked!!! We tried stuffed artichokes, chicken orzo soup, lamb shank entree, and mint lemonade. Everything came fresh and it was delicious! Try it all, but try their drinks! The coffee options are robust. It's a locally owned startup, and it's calling for families to gather, eat, drink and enjoy the relaxing environment.

This is our first time ordering take out. The food is delicious. Beautiful presentation (which is unusual for take out) and everything cooked perfectly. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend.

A great new restaurant in Gilbert! It faces into the plaza near the Islands. Selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner with a wide selection of coffees, including Spanish coffee with cinnamon, and smoothies! The cuisine is Mediterranean with lots of Greek influence.The restaurant is open and airy. Really well done! Comfortable chairs at tables.Feels like a coffee shop during the day and at night, the little white string lights make the patio intimate.We tried the Greek lasagna (which is made from penne noodles with white sauce and lamb). very good! Also the chicken souvlaki, Greek hummus and "nachos", and mashed potatoes. Everything was really great (better than pita jungle!I got a honey vanilla latte to go. It was also delicious!This is a sweet, stylish place! Reminds of places I've gone to in Europe! We will go back to eat on the patio for dinner soon. Maybe breakfast too!

?5 STAR food, service, ambiance and dining excellence is to be had at Kavala. We have thoroughly enjoyed 2 full meals there in just 7 days. Succulent lamb shank and grilled filet mingon, delicious pasta and sauces , baked artichokes and so many other yummy dishes and desserts. Each dish was served hot, aromatic, and artfully presented.The tasteful blue French decor comfortably accommodates all. Whether a couple, a party of friends or a large hungry family.? We enjoy an excellent dining experience partnered with superb service on lazy,AZ summer evenings. What a jewel to have such world class cuisine in Gilbert at the Islands restaurant row on Elliot.

I came in on a Friday with a Groupon, they filled my order quickly and cheerfully. The decor was classy and comfortable and the food was delicious. I especially loved the chicken kabobs with the yogurt sauce. They’ve only been around 2 months in the midst of this crazy covidness. Go and check them out. It’s delicious and cute. You won’t regret it.
