Mazi in South End is shaking up Charlotte’s dining scene with a menu that’s as playful as it is inventive—and surprisingly affordable for the neighborhood. Chef Whit Thomas is turning everyday ingredients into showstoppers, from a carrot salad that’s anything but basic to prawns in a chili broth you’ll want to savor with your hands. Even the mushroom shawarma gets a twist, wrapped in collard greens instead of pita. With most dishes under $20, it’s a rare treat to find food this creative without the sticker shock.
