| - I've been impatiently waiting to come here for some authentic Greek food and I finally got the opportunity to do it today, which just so happens to be Greek Easter!
I loved that as soon as you walk in you see a cooler full of Greek desserts, from baklava, to kataifi. The dining area is rather small and quaint. I will say it could use a little more of a "Greek flair". I honestly think the only thing that was missing to make the ambiance perfect was an old Greek man sitting in the corner drinking Turkish coffee with his Greek buddy, and traditional Greek music playing (the music part they can control, the old man, not so much lol)
They seemed to be short staffed, so that did affect the wait time for the food, but that didn't really bother me too much. One thing they can definitely use is a more consistent and efficient bus boy. I couldn't help but notice that they had trouble keeping the tables clear of empty plates once people were done with their food.
I ordered a frappe because I'm Greek, and I had no shame drinking it with my meal lol. It was made right with just the right amount of froth. Also, I love that they have a good selection of Greek beers and wines to choose from.
Once the food came out, it was great! The spanakopita was crunchy and fresh. I've never had spanakopita that tasted almost like a sandwich, rather than a pie. It really does work lol!
The actual entrees were just as good too. The Greek salads that came with them were hearty, and the pita bread served with it was fresh. Also, we order tzaziki and it was probably the freshest I've ever had.
I had the rack of lamb. Traditionally, it's supposed to be served with roasted potatoes or orzo, but unfortunately they only had French fries available at the time we went (around 12:30 pm). This did disappoint me a little. In all fairness , our server said they were going to have roasted potatoes later that day, and that they were still cooking them. I do appreciate the effort they take to make everything fresh. Nonetheless, the lamb was tender and the French fries were good too. My wife really enjoyed her Greek burger as well.
Our server, which I assume is the owner or manager of the restaurant, was really nice. He even gave us eggs to play the traditional egg cracking game on Easter Sunday (Or Pascha)
I will definitely be back because traditional Greek restaurants are at a premium in Charlotte. Mad Greek has it figured out!
