" I had the Greek sampler which came with an array of choices. The dolmades were delightful and the tzatziki was superb, like the ones I had back on nearby islands. However, the service was a bit slow, and we waited a while before someone noticed we were ready to order. I appreciate that it’s family-run, and the staff was polite but they could use some extra help during busy hours. Nevertheless, the food was fresh and authentic, which made up for the wait. I would still recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food in an intimate setting! We took a chance on this little gem after seeing it on social media and let me tell you, it was worth it. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked, and the portions were just right for dinner. If you’re looking for authentic Greek food in a cozy environment, put this place on your list! The only negative was the parking situation—limited spaces, so it can get tricky. Otherwise, it was an awesome evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best to-go Greek food I’ve ordered in ages! The staff was super friendly, accommodating to my food allergies, and really helped personalize my meal. I had the chicken gyro platter, which was large enough to feed me for two meals! The fries were crisp, and the chicken was fresh and zesty. Ready in a flash, the packaging was perfect for takeout. I look forward to visiting the restaurant to try sometime soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best Greek food I’ve had! The quality is consistently great, and I love how everything is homemade. My personal favorite has to be their chicken souvlakia platters. The chicken is so juicy and perfectly seasoned. I also appreciated that they offer a selection of refreshing beers from Greece. It adds a nice touch to the overall experience. I've already been here several times, and I plan to keep returning! This place truly honors Greek traditions with their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Mad Greek possesses a charming atmosphere and an authentic vibe. The food is indulgent and comforting, especially after a long day at work. I ordered the vegetarian plate, sharing it with my partner, and we found the flavors to be very satisfying. The only downside was a slightly long wait for the meal, but it's understandable when it gets busy. I’ll definitely come back for more—perhaps for a lunch break next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a fan of The Mad Greek for quite some time now. Their feta fries are out of this world! I enjoy the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere, making it perfect for a casual dine-in. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the staff appears to be overwhelmed during peak hours, leading to longer wait times for food. Nonetheless, the food quality and flavors are worth the wait. I can't resist coming here at least once a month! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a cute little place with authentic Greek cuisine! Their spanakopita stole the show for me; crispy, flaky, and packed with flavor. I also enjoyed the fish special of the day, which was perfectly sautéed. Just a wee bit pricey for what I got overall, but considering the quality of the ingredients, I’m okay with that. I hope to be back soon with my family to share this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)
