I'd heard that, when visiting Charlotte, The Mad Greek was a place you had to visit. I did and...WOW! After years of subpar Greek-like restaurants, I finally had the real thing! My husband had the gyro (which I sampled -- to die for!) and I had the Kabob. The Greek salad that started my meal was authentic and deliciously fresh. The Kabob was, again, real Greek cooking (two lamb slabs with sauteed onion and tomato) the freshest and most tasty pitas I've ever eaten and the fries that accompanied it all were home-made, hot and delicious. The baklava is primo and the custard dessert we sampled made me want to cry out, "OPA!" The next time I'm in Charlotte, you can bet I'll be dining at The Mad Greek. Over and over again. Tremendously recommended!
