Staff amazing, food exceptional , calamari, octopus, and smelt. Lamb ribs and lamb shank what else can you ask for well then come a fried whole perch to die for.
Regular here my favorite Greek place !!!! Food never a disappointment always so magically delicious!!! Family owners are always welcoming people! I love how the owners take time to stop and chat with my family and I!!!! Highly recommended !!!! You’ll never leave Plaka without satisfaction!!! �
I LOVE this place. Great family run business that has the best Greek food in the area, and I've been to many. Ballard has tough competition for my dining dollars, but this place gets a lot of them. Highly recommended.
Amazing dishes from the angel pita & assorted dips, saganaki, lamb riblets, grilled octopus, fried smelt, salad and bougasta for dessert- O. M. G.
Matched with the gracious hosts and chefs - by far the best Greek Restaurant I have been to! Thanks Plaka! �
The food was out of this world but the kindness and friendliness were even better! We can't wait to bring our friends next time!!
I had no idea one of the best restaurants was within walking distance of my house. Just went here last night and had a delicious experience. The food and staff were so warm and inviting. Definitely the perfect comfort meal. Also, a great date venue
It was some of the best lamb & baklava I have ever tasted! Everyone on staff was so friendly and welcoming! I definitely will be returning! Opa!! Thank you for making helping make my birthday so memorable!
I'm very picky about going to a Greek restaurant because I always compare the food to my mom's who is an amazing cook!! I have to say that Plaka is the best home-cooked Greek food in Seattle outside of my mom's kitchen!!
A wonderful dining experience! We tried lots of the little plates so we could taste everything...it was all delicious and the staff made us feel like we were dining at their house. Can't wait to go back!
By far the best most authentic Greek food we have found! It's like eating in our Yia Yia's kitchen!
Simply the best. The best food and especially the best people. You feel as though at home with this family, as though it really matters that you enjoy everything.
treated like family. all the wait staff greet us personally-plus the food is great. We will be back soon with more of our family.
The best of the best! My friend brought me here for lunch over a year ago and I was so impressed with the family, the food, the ambiance I will continue to come back!
Always love eating here when in Seattle!!!

Wonderful gem in Ballard that I lived close by for years and never knew existed. I took my mom there from Mother’s Day because she had been to Greece several times and loves the culture and food. I believe it was the owner who sat us and he corrected her pronunciation gamely when she tried to speak to him in Greek. He also recommended a great bottle of wine to go with dinner that was both tasty and affordable. The food was amazing Greek comfort food and if we didn’t lick our plates clean there, we were seriously savoring some leftovers the next day. Great value and delicious food! Definitely planning on making this a regular spot.
Everything is good here. It's crazy.
The Gyros, the pita plate with the roasted red pepper / olive / Tzatziki, the lamb ribs, the baklava...
Even the fries were cooked to Golden perfection. If you are interested in anything, it'll be amazing. If you're interested in anything here, you'll be amazed.
We love it. The Saganaki flame kefalograviera cheese is to die for 😲🤪. Excellent food and customer service, everything was delicious.
This place is fantastic! We moved to Washington from Upstate NY where we had a lot of greek restaurants, since moving here we could not find an authentic greek place. This is it. They have those delicious classic greek lemon potatoes. This is the only place I have found in the area that has them and they make them perfectly. Everything was delicious, and we will be back for sure. My only complaint was parking, but it's Seattle so that's to be expected.
What a bittersweet visit, to discover a true gem like this only weeks before they are shutting things down. We arrived to celebrate a birthday and we were treated to nothing short of world class food and truly genuine, generous hospitality. The beets were scrumptious, the lamb was divine. I devoured the skillet fried fried halloumi that they started us off with.
When the staff [owners, had to be] heard we were celebrating a birthday, they went out of their way to mark the occasion with familial warmth. The baclava for dessert WAS authentic and amazing.
Lots of fun, delicious food, a convivial atmosphere with unbridled laughter throughout, we had a perfect evening. Thank you Yannis (?) For giving us a beautiful memory!!
Excellent Greek food but a bit pricey. Casual restaurant with a homely ambiance and look.
Authentic Greek Goodness! Highly recommend their traditional dishes.
We walked in, were seated immediately. So friendly! We couldn't decide, so instead our menus were whipped away and we were told we would be taken care of and that's how they do it here! We had an incredible array of treats and salads and main dishes. Everything was beautifully made and flavors to die for. We had ribs in quince and eggplant with lamb. We had dessert wine and a cheese filled pastry for dessert. Even the flat bread corners and olives were amazing. So much care and we felt like part of the family by the end of dinner. Excellent!
Easily the most authentic Greek restaurant in the Seattle area. Family owned and operated, this restaurant has all the dishes I miss from home, and then some. Reasonably priced and super friendly staff. I bring my family here every time they are in town. It makes me miss my mom's cooking just a little bit less. Just don't tell her that!
This is one of the best authentic Greek restaurants in Seattle. The service is wonderful and the food is delicious. The decor makes you feel like you are in small village being served by your long lost cousins. The first time we went, we just had wine and appetizers, family style. Love this place.
