    Here is the only warning I have, There is your life before The Mad Greek and there is your life after the Mad Greek. I are here with my son earlier this year (I don't live in Columbus but my son does) and I have been daydreaming about their gyro for months! Seriously, the most amazing tasting gyro I have ever had in my life. The lamb is tender and juicy, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection. All of the toppings extremely fresh! It is a must place visit if you are in the Columbus area. There is amble seating inside and there is also a little area that feels outdoors but is indoors. The service was great. I didn't have room for baklava because the gyro was so big but next time I will definitely leave room for it. Looking forward to my next visit here you should definitely come and try it out!

    I cannot wait to come back and try more from the menu!! My chicken was so hot and juicy. I loved the portion size of the salad and I had enough taziki sauce to put on everything. The staff was very friendly and quick to prep my meal. There was also so many desserts that looked delicious.

    | My go-to Mediterranean spot in Columbus! Mad Greek has truly become a staple for me, my friends, and my family. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth--especially by the two amazing women at the counter who always offer a friendly welcome and great service. I love it so much that after earning my Master's degree earlier this year, I chose to celebrate there with friends and family. That should say it all! Don't be intimidated by the large menu--everything is made fresh and cooked with love. It's one of those rare places where you could close your eyes and point to anything and it'll be delicious. Just yesterday, I visited twice in one day. First, I stopped in to grab a to-go order for a family member and ordered a large fry for myself (highly recommend--they're hot, crispy, and topped with the most addicting seasoning). But once I saw how good their takeout looked, I immediately got hungry again and went right back for round two. I ordered three Blackened Snapper plates, which come with perfectly grilled snapper filet, spicy sauce, mixed veggies, rice pilaf, and pita bread. One word: AMAZING. Their desserts are homemade and absolutely worth saving room for (if you can!). Bonus points: They have a fully stocked bar An assortment of bottled drinks near the register A drive-up window for pre-placed orders They always include utensils and condiments with to-go orders--no need to ask! They're usually busy (which speaks to their popularity), but the staff works fast and keeps food fresh and hot. This spot truly feels like you're walking into someone's home and being fed a home-cooked meal made with care. Forever grateful for this gem!

    Great place for greek... This place is kind of an Eastside legend. It has not changed in forever but it has great food, a nostalgic vibe (both inside and outside), and good service. I had a Gyro, with frys, and a salad. Wifie had the chicken kabobs which she loved. It was a great experience and worth the trip.

    What a pleasant surprise. I was in the mood for calamari and srooped in. So many different options. I ate there and had the calamari Greek salad and a side of lemon potatoes. Everything was fresh and delicious. The salad was huge and the lemon Preparation for the potatoes was unexpected and delightful. Though I asked for a to go container, I left nothing to take. The time to table was fast I would like to return and try something else.

    I had pretty high hopes for Mad Greek after reading some reviews. The menu is huge, almost daunting at first. But luckily, they have the typical favorites listed at the beginning. I ordered the #1, a small gyro with fries. Admittedly, I was unsure how 'small' the small gyro would be, but figured if it was #1 on the menu it's probably pretty popular so went with it anyway. It was ready in just under 10 minutes, and the employee at the front checked in on me as I waited which was nice. I ordered it to-go, and when I opened it up later I quickly realized that the 'small' was indeed pretty small (could basically fit in the palm of my hand). Wishing I had gotten the regular size, I began eating away. There were quite a few banana peppers that over-powered the flavor, so I wished I would've gotten it without those. Ironically, they gave a huge portion of fries that definitely had plenty of seasoning. They reminded me of Five Guy fries in that they seemed fresh cut but lacked that true crunch. Overall, my experience at Mad Greeks was about average and I take part of the blame for ordering the small gyro. I don't think I would go out of my way to get it again, but if I'm in the area I would consider it.

    I did a carry out order and the ambiance of this place was cool. It's a Greek theme however,this place was great! I ordered Greek fries and they were delicious however, I can't speak for anything else. Also the service was pretty great. The cashier was nice and personable. and the food was ready really fast.

    Stopped in today for a work luncheon. I was looking forward to lunch because I haven't eaten at The Mad Greek in years. I ordered a Greek salad and four falafels. I absolutely did not like the falafels. I couldn't even make the best of it and try to eat them. The older lady that usually works the register happens to came by our table. I asked her if I could trade my falafels for lentil soup. She said no. I said well could I get something else because I don't care for the falafels. She said no. We don't do exchanges or refunds. She said, "whatever you get, that's just what you get", and she walked away. I was a little embarrassed that she spoke to me like that in front of everyone. I put the falafels to the side and starting eating my salad. My coworkers convinced me to go and talk to the owner. So, I went over to the counter and asked to speak to the owner. When he came out, I told him I didn't care for the falafels and asked if I could exchange them for lentils or something else. He said absolutely. Then, he asked if I wanted to keep the falafels. I said no thank you, I'll just try your lentil soup. I went back to my table. Next, he brings out a bowl of lentils with pita bread and a plate of hummus .... which by the way was the best hummus that I have ever eaten ...... About an hour after I got back to the office, my stomach started hurting. Not sure if it's just a coincidence but it will probably be another 10 years before I give them another try.

    Best gyro I've ever had. Good service. Pita was soft, portions are great. Seems to be family owned

    I expected Greek food but what but it had a very limited Greek menu. It was more of a Mediterranean theme.
