How did I forget to review Plaka?? Plaka is consistently amazing. Fast, delicious and friendly service every single time. I love introducing people to Plaka. The food is always fresh and tasty. Some of my favorite things are the Plaka Gyro Wrap which has Authentic Greek-style pork gyro with tomatoes, onions, tzatziki and fries inside. It's filling but you won't be in a food coma afterwards. I also love getting the plaka bowls where you can choose what you want in them. Kind of like Cava but way better.

Plaka Grill at Vienna is consistently very good and enjoyable. We usually get take out which is carefully packaged. The chicken orzo soup is superb. Prices are very competitive for the excellent quality.

What a great place, I honestly cannot praise it enough. It’s our go-to place for a weekly casual dinner. We lived in Greece for quite some time and feel that this is as close as we’ll get to satisfy our cravings for Greek food. My personal favorites are kotopoulaki (chicken tenders in light but crispy batter) and small Peter’s salad (which is actually not that small at all but super delicious!). Add a generous pour of house wine and things are beginning to look up, lol! The place is not big and can get crowded easily (A LOT of takeouts as well) and quite loud but it’s so worth it, in my opinion. We tried just about everything on the menu, and it all tastes good. The staff is nice and the service is very fast. If you become a loyal customer and frequent this restaurant, you’ll accumulate a good bit of points that you can redeem for a desert or take off the total cost, big plus. Great place, highly recommend.
My family loves Plaka, and I've gererally had good experiences here. Plus I enjoy supporting local, small businesses like this one. They have great gyros, some of the best side dishes around (especially their potatoes), and efficient service to top it all off. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is I once ordered a beef/steak kabob via doordash that tasted very off/stale. I'm not sure if it was old meat or a cooking surface that needed cleaning, but it shouldn't have been served to a customer and wasn't cheap. Aside from that though everything has been great and I enjoy the food here frequently. It's worth trying for yourself.

Small place for eating in. Chicago Gyro season well, tender meat, ingredients fresh and came out hot. A lot of meat. The calamari was also hot but bland but cooked well. Definitely would go back and try a different
The food is good but it seems to have slipped from a few years ago. The portion size seems to be smaller for gyros. Use to be able to see the meat rotating in the back of the store and did not observe it this time.

This is a local favorite nested in a small shopping center off the Chain Bridge. The staff are still very nice and friendly during the busy dinner rush. Good portions of food. Well seasoned and savory.

Fantastic food with lots of vegetarian options. No-fuss counter service. Great indoor and outdoor seating.

Proof that popular doesn’t equal good. Flavor is very mediocre and prices are too high compared to the small portions. Very nice people tho but that’s really it even the location is very small, everyone can here everyone’s conversations and ur overlooking a parking lot for a view
Every time I go, I get the Chicago-style gyro and enjoy it very much. They have a standard at this restaurant and they maintain it consistently. Both locations in the area seem to be pretty good, but I have noticed that the gyro is sometimes better at this location - maybe because it's the original. Few parking spots but I have not yet failed to find a spot in front of the store, otherwise you can park at the dollar store behind Plaka Grill. Can be quite busy sometimes seating-wise, but I always go for take out.Parking: You can park in front of the store and if none are available there, you can park behind the store at the dollar store parking lot.

My 2nd time eating there and the quality and taste of the food is top notch! My first time eating there was nice in the restaurant but this time it was takeout. No complaints and being able to customize your meal online was an added benefit - especially when they follow through! Will definitely return.

Food is always good. Solid, never bad. They sometimes get an order wrong or forget something but everything is good so not a big deal. Portions are decent. Prices have gotten a little high for what is basically a take out place. Work on quality control and give me some extra bang for my buck and I'd say 5 stars.
