As I’ve mentioned several times before, my husband and I love good food. As a result, we’re always on the look out for great, undiscovered places to eat and while some of the spots aren’t totally undiscovered, if we haven’t been there yet, it’s still undiscovered in my book. 😉
Anyway, we happened upon one such place yesterday. Located along the near light-rail line in the up and coming area of Charlotte known as South End is this fantastic Greek restaurant called The Greek Isles.
As soon as you walk in it has a great atmosphere. A spacious, open dining room sits nestled in between an open bar space and an open kitchen, all of which gives the entire restauarant a very open, spacious feel. There are smatterings of Greek decor here and there, but what really makes this such a great place is the food.
The menu is filled with a variety of traditional Greek fare, from the Saganaki we had as an appetizer down to the roasted lamb and traditional vegetables my husband had. The menu also boasts traditional favorites such as gyro sandwiches, tzatziki, hummus, Greek salads, souvlaki, and desserts like baklava and loukoumades.
The prices were very reasonable as well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I’ve added it to my list of restaurants to visit again in the future.
The Greek Isles is located at 200 E. Bland St. near uptown Charlotte.
