Shout out to Ilan Amsalem and Cajun Greek! 🙌 During Hurricane Beryl, they were one of the only restaurants with power and stayed open until 1 a.m. to give residents a place to eat, work, relax, and cool down. Despite being short-staffed, Ilan stayed and worked alongside his employees to keep the restaurant open as long as possible during the crisis.

Go by and say thank you, and enjoy some amazing seafood and delicious Greek fare. Thank you, Ilan and the Cajun Greek team, for your dedication and hard work!

PS: Galveston is open for business and ready to serve you! Come see us!
