The Super Falafel was amazing! The fries were beautifully crispy and the service was great. Lovely outdoor seating and a nice beer and wine selection with gluten free pita to boot! Aleka's really stands out among fellow Mediterranean restaurants. read more

Aleka's - Greek Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

Oh man, how can you not love the super falafel?! It has everything piled on and is delicious. I grabbed one to go on my way out of town and was very happy with it! It also came with a pile of homemade chips that were a great addition to the sandwich. read more

Just had one of the best meals!! If you are in Plattsburg, you should check it out! Great owner (Peter) gave a sample of his favorites including Greek Fries! Yum! Go checkout it out!! read more

Aleka's is definitely the spot if you're craving anything greek or italian. their food is always satisfactory or better. and the prices are completely reasonable! definitely worth trying if you're just visiting plattsburgh. read more

Not bad. Caveat: I grew up in Queens and lived on Long Island for several years - home of insanely good Greek, Mediterranean and Italian food. So, this review is from the perspective of a big-time Greek-food snob. It seems that this place recently opened up - perhaps a new identity from one of the other existing Greek places in town? Not sure of the story...but they're definitely trying to cater to the college crowd with variety: Greek, Italian, burgers and wings (makes sense). The atmosphere is a little weird - just feels like a recently renovated bar or pizza place. The decor is minimalist and it gets loud in there when just a couple of tables are full. OK - the food: Everything seemed fresh - the greek salad was generous but the feta cheese is served as one large block (as opposed to crumbled feta....just a personal preference). The grape leaves are quite good and the pita served with the appetizer (of an interesting dip) is served hot. The chicken kabob is very good - moist, not over-seasoned but still flavorful. The wait staff needs some refining...one of the girls was obviously sick and coughing all over the place. That said, they were still friendly and accommodating. I'll probably give this place another shot next time I'm in town. read more

Love Aleka's. Great salads, great Gyros. Had their jambalaya on special the other night and it was fantastic. The seafood fra diavlo is great. Always a great meal. read more

Aleka's - Greek Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

See all

Been here 20 minutes and still waiting for water and someone to take our order. Not sure how the food is... Ok, she took the drink and food orders 25 minutes after arriving ...10 minutes later and we're still waiting on the drinks...at this pace the food might show up in an hour... Beer was flat, still waiting for a replacement. Half the food arrived but, no silverware! Rest of food arrived...it was ok but, not great. Replacement beer was almost flat. Probably won't return...lots of choices in Plattsburgh. Now we're waiting on the check...the server is rolling silverware and we can't get her attention! Got the check and it was WRONG!!! Service in this place really sucks! Server didn't ask if we wanted dessert or more to drink. She is clearly a rookie. Who is supervising the dining room?? read more

I ordered the vegetarian sampler salad. It was served on china with plastic utensils that bent when trying to cut the falafel - the server could not provide metal utensils as those were in deep storage. There was a glob of something red and white which was not on the menu, which was very salty. The tzazuki was very good. as was the hummus and pita. My wife's salad had ample tomatoes but although tomatoes are in season locally, they tasted as though they were harvested green elsewhere. There was ample outdoor seating which is important in this time of COVID19. All together it was an OK place for lunch. read more

We really enjoyed this authentic Greek food. It was nice to sit outside and the servers were busy, but kind and as attentive as they could be given that they seemed short staffed. The hummus was amazing and the Greek fries were tasty too. Nice portion sizes as well. read more

Food is over rated. Saw the kitchen and have no idea how there still open. Waitstaff seemed annoyed. Place looked like a thrown together mess of random crap. Wasn't very clean in dining area. And horrible in the kitchen. read more

Spanakopita is a must have-delicious! The hummus is one of the best hummus I have ever tasted. I got the Chicken entree which was a very large portions d tasty. My husband got the Greek salad and was pleased. Glad we visited this place! read more

This Greek restaurant is absolutely delicious! Made a quick pit stop here while we were on our way back to the city and the food kept us happy and full! Would definitely return if I ever came back to this area. read more

I'd like to start this review by saying that I had no issues with my food or the service I received here. Thoroughly enjoyable meal, with alert and attentive service. With that said, there are 3 things that really turned me off about this place: 1) They bring you your bill and tell you that you get a 4% discount if you pay cash. This is not true. You do not get money off if you pay cash. They ADD 4% to the bill if you pay with credit card. In the end, this is really cheap, sleazy math that the owner doesn't need to do. I've been to hundreds of restaurants and have never had one stoop to such pathetic penny-pinching measures. Which leads me to... 2) I ordered a PINT of beer, which is SUPPOSED to be16oz, but was served a beer in a cheater false-bottomed 14 oz glass. Using the same math, I should have received a 12.5% discount (~75 cents) on the beer. I did not, because the owner is cheap. 3) Lastly, if you're a business that displays support for certain political candidates in th way of signs in the bar/dining are, then expect to not get repeat business. read more

Good quality food always enjoy going here highly recommend! Good service quick and never rushed enjoy the outside dinning as well

Horrible service. Had family visiting and brought them to Alekas, we requested outside seating and was told it would be just a few minutes. While waiting one of their employees, Crystal, opened the door and very loudly shouted at one of the servers can someone explain we don't seat that many outside very rudely. It was extremely awkward. We asked if there was a problem sitting outside and she continued to tell us yes they don't seat that many and was beyond rude. There are tons of good places to eat in Plattsburgh, don't waste your time going somewhere they treat you bad read more

Excellent find in Plattsburgh. The appetizer of whipped feta and roasted red peppers served with warm pita was delicious! Oh how could I forget the wonderful sangria!!! Generous wine pour for the hubby. Beer also available. The souvlaki was served with tasty rice. The village salad was good but will be outstanding with fresh local veggies when local tomatoes and cucumbers are available. Small but comfortable restaurant. A little loud but there was a large party in the back. Good service even though they were very busy. read more

food is great here! have brought my girlfriend here before and the place is just great. authentic Greek food is delicious. love sitting outside. recommend if you're not from the area read more

When we travel through Plattsburgh on our way to Lake Champlain we always stop at Alekas. I'm of Greek decent and the spanakopita is the best, I actually think it's better than my moms! Food is great Id like try the pistachio if it was on the menu read more

I just love this place. The restaurant itself is very simple, no frills decor, and that's fine because the food is incredible. My favorite is the super falafel. It is bursting with flavor and texture. The fries are perfectly crispy. The sandwich section of the menu is my go-to because the prices remain the same at dinner time. read more

Fantastic food, servers are super friendly, only tough part is finding the parking during the dinner rush. Best gyros I've had upstate! :)

I visited this place for lunch and had the gyro and it hit the spot! The kopanisto that came with pita bread was also really good. I ended up dipping my fries in the leftover kopanisto which made for a really good combo. read more

Giving this place 3 stars. The food was very good. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and was surprised how good their Italian food was. However, the service was extremely slow. Painfully slow. read more

This is a mixed review. I have been eating at this owner's Greek restaurants for years. This is the third incarnation. His food is very good as long as he is overseeing it, but often spins out of control when he isn't there. Whenever I have had a bad meal in his absence, and told him about it, he has taken care of me. When they are on their game, the food is 5 stars. However, the wait staff is rarely better than 3. If you are sitting at the bar ordering drinks, you get lots of attention. If you look like a high roller, you get attention. If you are the average Joe and family, you get ignored; even when it is not busy. On my last visit, my wife, a friend and I were seated just outside the kitchen where the waitress had to walk around us to get to the rest of the restaurant. We got menus, but it took forever for her to come and take our order. Two tables who were seated after us had their orders taken before us. Once we ordered, most of the food came out in reasonable time. The olives and feta never made it and the waitress never came back to check on any table the dining room until we were almost done. She never asked about drink refills. We had to grab someone else that came out of the kitchen to get those. We didn't bother with the olives and feta. We sat for at least 15 minutes after finishing before she came to ask about dessert or the check. I had to leave before the check came, but my wife said that the olives and feta never made it to the order. The food we got was very good, although not timely. I will go back. It is the only Greek place in town, and I like Greek food. I will recommend it with a caution. Be prepared for slow service. read more

I had a great meal, all my favorites. I was part of a group of 4 people. We had Greek Salad that was huge and super delicious, Dolmas, which were perfect, the best Spanakopita, Hummus with fresh and soft Pitas and lastly amazing Baklava. The bill was very reasonable. I can't wait to go back! read more

I order delivery from this place & so far have LOVED everything but I always go back to a Greek salad and the girls calamari it's so delicious together I put the grilled calamari on top of Greek salad and it is Heavenly I would try that if I was anybody eating there like I said I've had dry rose and I've had pretty much everything on the menu the hummus is delicious everything's great but that grilled calamari and Greek salad is so good lately it's the only thing I order! read more

I usually don't leave Yelp reviews. But I had to download the app and let people know how great our takeout dinner was. Truly, truly, truly just so delicious and high quality. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Plattsburgh! Wonderful Greek, as well as a selection of Mediterranean Italian. I am so obsessed with the falafel I have been unable to try other sandwiches, but I absolutely recommend getting whatever filling you choose as the Lebanese Twist. I also highly recommend the mussels - the feta/spinach/butter/wine sauce is so good I pick out all the shells and bring the sauce home to mix with veggies. The rice (as a side) is unlike anything I've had anywhere, and the Greek fries are worth every delicious calorie. Do not miss this spot if you come to town! read more

For Plattsburgh, this is excellent. The greek salad with gyro meat is excellent. The spanicopta is excellent. read more

Aleka's - there's also outside seating - Greek Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

Really loved going to this place in the past. Ordered the sampler platter for take out tonight and discovered halfway through eating it that some of the chicken was raw. Hopefully I won't get sick, but can't stomach the idea of coming back in the future. If you come here to eat make sure you come when it is slow as they quality dips and standards drop when they have a lot of customers.. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Plattsburgh. Great food. Good service Highly recommend the Greek Fries and always love to try the daily specials read more

Met friends from Plattsburgh at Aleka's for dinner and had a great experience. We'd heard about the Greek fries and weren't disappointed - awesome appetizer to start things off (fries and feta - how can you go wrong!?). Entrees were tasty, portion sizes more than generous and reasonably priced. Only regret is not trying the mussels - oh well, there's always next time we're in P'burgh! read more

Delicious. We tried the Greek Salad and Dolmas (which I thought was only written like Dolmades and Dolmathakia but I guess I'm wrong) which were fresh and delicious. I've been to Greece and several Greek restaurants and I can testify that these were pretty good. I ordered the Greek Burger expecting an actual burger but I received a gyro. It worked though, it had the meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach which were absolutely great. It came with fries that were okay, not my favorite but not bad either. Staff was friendly and environment was good too. The bathroom was clean and so was the restaurant. Great, would come again ! read more

Cool Greek place. Stopped in with the guys....great gyros and service. More stuff to check out on the menu so def will be back. My buddy's antipasto salad looked phenomenal and he said it was great. Anika and Nicole were cool and provided us with great service. Cool spot. #BuddhaReview read more

Another great meal spanokpita to start shirmp scampi and my wife had anti pasta salid delicious and large portions great atmospheres awesome service picture of red wine spritzer finished with baklava and then to strand theater for play wonderful night thanks again read more

When you go to Aleka's you know you're going to get authentic, delicious greek cuisine. The customer service along with the food is spectacular!! I recommend calling ahead to check their availability or even make a reservation because they can be busy. The wings and chicken pita are divine, but so is everything else they offer. read more

If you haven't been to Aleka's lately, do yourself a favor and head over! Chef Walter is tweeking a bunch of menu staples (falafel, hummus, kopanista, to name a few) and the results are delicious!!! read more

The food was excellent. Loved the vegetarian platter. Everything on the platter was very tasty, especially the hummus. The only negative was the slow service. Seems like the restaurant was understaffed. But that shouldn't keep you away! read more

Food was good, homemade pasta was over done. Staff was smoking at the entrance on our way in. Had to ask for appetizer plates. With a reservation we were sat at a table by the restroom and stairs. No wine list, however a mixed drink calendar. read more
