Food critic: Mad Greek

Friday, January 16, 2009

Type of restaurant: Greek and Italian

Overall star rating: 5 out of 5

Location: 907 Mass. St.

Signature dish: Gyros Dinner

Price range: $7-15

What I ate: Mad Greek Combo (dolnus, dolma, mousaka, feta cheese, gyros meat, spinach pie, pita bread, choice of green beans, fries or rice, and tzatziki sauce)

Review: The gods would be pleased with all the Mad Greek restaurant offers. Mad Greek truly stands out by featuring the best of Mediterranean cuisine. Everything about this restaurant, especially the artwork, decor and music, makes you believe you have been transported straight to the heart of Greece. Greek conversation floats in the background, making the mood light and the atmosphere festive, almost as if you were feasting. Mad Greek offers a wide range of choices, from Greek and Italian specialties to American burgers and salads. Even those not familiar with Greek food will love the menu. For the more serious diner, you have a choice of wine and imported beers. Everyone should love this place because it offers great food and a fun atmosphere for a very reasonable price. Mad Greek is perfectly suited for college students’ wallets and will certainly satisfy their hunger with something unique. With so many choices and a great atmosphere, the Mad Greek would be the perfect restaurant to visit this weekend. Please, I beg you to run, walk or drive to Mad Greek. It’s almost as if you’re dining with the gods.
