Reviews Plaka Grill

Very shocked at the food quality and taste. Arrived early for a music event and was hungry so we went across the street to Plaka Grill. I didn’t expect much as it’s a small hole in the wall in a shopping center. Wow. I was very surprised. The food had so much flavor -every bite was fantastic. Absolutely will visit again

The most incredible Greek food you will ever try! Locals are familiar with this restaurant that is known for their high quality and authenticity. Their dips are flavorful and everything we ordered came out perfect. The beef bowl plaka style (fries on top!) is so delicious! If you have the chance to try their chicken soup though, you’re very lucky.

The gyro meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, the rice was flavorful and fluffy, and the fresh salad added a refreshing balance to the dish. We had a gift certificate and it wasn’t an issue to use. cozy ambiance.Plaka Grill is definitely our go-to spot for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Best gyro I’ve ever had in the US. The chicken souvlaki is really good too. Quality food. It’s a bit expensive though.

I visited on a Thursday evening after remembering my positive experiences with the Falls Church branch. My pickup order was ready as promised within 30 minutes, and I was pleased with the prompt service when I arrived. My order consisted of felafel and spanakopita appetizers, a Plaka style Chicago gyro (lamb and beef with fries in the gyro), a side salad, a half chicken alone, and two orders of galaktoboureko for dessert. The phyllo pastry was light, crisp, and flaky while the filling tasted of spinach with the right amount of cheese to accent. The tzatziki sauce had a welcoming sharpness to accompany the crisp felafel fritters. A couple more fritters and a little more seasoning would have been nice, but overall I found these two offerings a great way to start. The gyro came as advertised with a pleasing proportion of meat to vegetables to fries without having to order extra of anything. The meat struck me as a little on the dry side but flavored well and not over salted. Fries were as crispy as a ten-minute car ride back home would allow and were not over salted either. The salad had crisp lettuce and fresh tasting other ingredients like the olives, cheese, and tomato. The chicken comes off the bone easily and has an acceptably seasoned taste, even if I did find the texture a bit dry similar to the lamb and beef in the gyro. Both offerings were enjoyable nonetheless. Dessert was another highlight, as the combination of flaky pastry, well-proportioned filling (looks less than you realize once you start eating), and not overly sweet honey syrup left me with a satisfied feeling overall. The prices strike me as reasonable for the Vienna area. Service was everything you want for a pickup order: cordial and efficient. A staff person taking orders kept me updated on where my order was in his list of takeout and dine-in orders. A few folks had takeout orders before me, and they were not waiting more than a few minutes if that for their food. The interior looked clean with a nice mural decorating the far wall as one enters. I am pleased to know that I can satisfy a Greek food craving with Plaka Grill convenient to my neighborhood.
