this is Santorini in NJ. the food is amazing, fresh, & huge portions, and delicious as well. I ran across this and just coming back from Greece a few months earlier was very impressed both our dishes (Souvlaki and Moussaki) I highly recommend and feel like there should never be an open parking spot available!!!

I haven't visit the restaurant in a while, but in the past 12 years that I've know the place, we have never had a bad experience . We know and love greek food and they do a good job, beginning with their grill octopus and ending with their slow cooked leg of lamb . Their service has always been consistent as well.

A bit formal for me but the food was great. Will come back for the octopus. Great wine pairing. Wish I was closer so I can work my way through the menu

Always the best food, service and atmosphere. They treat everyone like family.
Always a solid meal here. I appreciate the size of the menu. There are plenty of options and yet it isn't overwhelming. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Twelve Islands is always terrific. The service is uniformly good. I love the food. The lamb chops are delicious as is the souvlaki. We like to start with the tirokafteri dip and also the grilled cheese saganaki. It is not inexpensive (the souvlaki is though!) - but the food is great.... Enjoy!

We will drive the 30 minutes from home to dine here because it's the best Greek food around. Authentically prepared dishes are all delicious and the service staff is so friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend you trying it because it will be your go-to place next!

I have been to this restaurant many times. Went on Valentines Day so that might have something to do with it but was not up to its normal standard. Always order grilled fish and have to say was not as good as normal. Probably cause to busy that night as I will say that is the excuse.

The food tastes good as always. Portions have gotten SO SMALLL and the prices have not changed. The chicken symi used to come with two very large thick pieces And now it comes with two very small, very thin pieces. Very disappointed when going there for a number of years.

Probably the best food in Lauderdale area for Greek that you will find. As evidenced by the long wait lines during the winter travel season. . The food is always consistent and fresh.
Great food and staff. Dip and peta bread provided with table service. Food so much better fresh.

This is one of my family's favorites and we do go often. We also bring friends who end up fans too. The pressure was on last night when we brought our Greek friend. He and his wife had been to Greece quite often and knew quite a bit about the cuisine. They enjoyed 12 Islands' versions of a few of the mainstays.
