I am a huge fan of Greek food and, as a result, am extremely nit-picky. This place has everything going for it...on the menu today for our table were gyro wraps, saganaki, lentils, meatballs, spinokopita, and mousaka. It was all absolutely divine. I was a little disappointed with the saganaki, as I'm used to the flaming hunk of cheese coming to the table, and the resulting lemon flavor when they extinguish the flames-this was just strips of cheese on a plate, but still tasted really good. We just moved to Georgetown and I am certain we will become regular customers of this establishment. Try them-you'll be glad you did!!! read more

Pretty sure it's permanently closed. Too bad. The food was good. I wish there were a good Greek restaurant nearby. read more

So pleasantly surprised! Had low expectations since Georgetown food can be hit or miss but ended up really enjoying my meal. Gyro was delicious -- meat had a great texture and a nice flavor. Felt thoughtfully constructed -- fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes and cucumbers, tasty pita wrap with a good texture. Tried a few sides too: beef dolmas were big and delicious and falafel was moist (came as a flat pancake). Their version of baklava wasn't my favorite but I was so pleased with my food, it didn't matter. Reasonable prices. Convenient drive-through. Friendly and fast service. Would definitely recommend! read more

They really put their whole greekussy into these plates, 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

Wow! Food was great, service was friendly! This is a hidden gem. The atmosphere is very simple and not fancy, but the food is authentic and amazing. We had chicken wrap and gyro plate. Both with side salads and baklava. We will be back for sure! read more

Plaka Greek Cafe - Baklava!! - Greek Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

I really wanted to love the food since the lady in the parking lot hyped up the place. The employees were very kind and friendly. It smelled good inside, but it's kind of like a cafeteria. I got the combo plate and my chicken was really dry. I also was expecting the Greek meatball to be more like a keftede with a lamb beef mix, but it tasted more like an Italian meatball to me. It was also in a sweet tomato sauce. It was good, but it didn't taste Greek to me. The lamb/beef gyro meat was fine and the pita tasted fresh and hot. The spanakopita tasted like it was sitting for a while. The Greek salad dressing didn't taste like a Greek dressing either. It's just not what I'm used to when I think of Greek food. It reminded me a little of festival food. I wish I could give more stars, but maybe I just came on a bad day. read more

Plaka Greek Cafe - Combo plate - Greek Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Just moved to the neighborhood and in search of a good local restaurant! Plaka Greek Cafe is definitely worth the try. I would come back time and time again. The food was very good, I'm a vegetarian so they had three different options, which didn't feel like a lot but the food was clean, didn't feel greasy or anything. The ladies serving the food are super nice and smiley, I've got happy vibes. It's a humble establishment and has a small family biz ambiance. Friendly and clean. If you are in the area, you should try it out! read more

Love the gyro wrap and taziki. We've ordered pick up and done the drive-thru several different times. They're quick, the order is right, and the food quality is good. Bean soup and rice was also good. I'm not a fan of their baclava, very little filo in it, mostly dense nuts not many layers. But that might be exactly how some people prefer it. read more

I got a gyro wrap, and unfortunately the meat was dry and kind of flavorless. The Taziki definitely needed more garlic, lemon and salt. Service was quick and the inside was clean. But the food was definitely lacking flavor. read more

Hadn't been here in a very long time and consistently see recommendations for gyros and lemon soup. Ordered via drive thru., Ordered both gyro and lemon soup but got 2 bean soups instead of any lemon. Gyros were ok. Pita was fresh and quantity of salad and meat filling was adequate. Meat could use more seasoning for my taste. read more

I gave one last go go before writing off Plaka for good. Everything, from the soup to the salad was canned, bland, factory pre-made and wimpy. I ended up throwing away most of a large family order of food because the quality was so poor. I am so sad Plaka has evolved this way. read more

The food is so delicious- and definitely try the beef roast dish. Super good. Everything is good! read more

Outstanding Greek food. The dolmas are literally the best ever and so huge, full of rice AND meat. Any plate will be excellent. The combo platters are a great way to sample the many items. Combo #8 highly recommend. Pro tip, combos come with soup or salad- get one of the savory soups. Pot roast combo plate Greek style is just wow. Small cafe. Walk in, they serve you cafeteria style but do not let that dissuade you. Great service. High marks!! read more

It's OK food. Not true to Greek tradition. They can slice meat to make a Gyro. The Chicken Soup is really good. It was nice to see really fresh tomatoes on my sandwich. Good for neighborhood pick up place not close to traditional food read more

Let me preface this review with, my family and I have been regulars for many years with Plaka until a couple of days ago. We have recommended this restaurant to friends and family. My husband is a cancer survivor and was disfigured from the surgery to remove the cancer which makes it difficult for him to speak clearly. My experience, is most people are kind and patient with him. However, one of the employees publicly humiliated my husband for his speech challenges. My husband ordered the lamb shank. He stated it twice. The man fixed him a completely different dish he didn't ask for. When my husband and I informed it was not what he ordered, he became biligerent and stated my husband said number 6, which he didn't. He refused to provide the correct dish of lamb shank my husband requested and told us the food was already plated and we were stuck with it. We had not even paid for our meals, yet. My husband was the better person and said fine. He would eat what he was given verses what he ordered. I wanted to walk out and find somewhere else to eat. Never have I experienced someone degrading my husband for his physical challenges ever. No one could ever pay me enough to ever go back! read more

I get Plaka at least once a week! The food is always fantastic. It's fresh and flavorful. The service is outstanding and quick. Would recommend Plaka! read more

Over a decade ago, the best Greek restaurant in Austin left Colorado Street and moved to Georgetown. It's odd to think that the best Greek food in the region isn't in a major city but in it's 'burbs. The properly prepared ethnic dishes are served cafeteria style and are all as good as you'll find anywhere in America. They have daily specials like Lamb Shanks. The help is friendly, expeditious, and very helpful to those who may be unfamiliar with Greek fare. Everything is made fresh daily with loving care. There is heart, soul, and family in every bite. Take a drive to Georgetown and see for yourself what I have known for years. read more

Plaka Greek Cafe - #16 Create Your own Combo. Gyros, House Feta Salad & my wife's Spicy Bean Soup, Meatball, Falafel, Spanikopita, w/ Pita & Tzatziki Sauce. - Greek Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Living in Dallas I've been to some great Mediterranean and Greek restaurants and this one was just okay. It is a buffet style restaurant and servers serve you your meal on a plate so you can come in quickly grab a plate and be out in 15-30 mins. I ordered the combination plate which came with pita and we dined in. I just didn't like the food it didn't taste flavorful or fresh. The meatballs tasted like they were frozen and the chicken was extremely extremely dry. We had to cover the chicken with tzaziki sauce in order to eat it without choking. The spinach pie wasn't bad and the pita was delicious. It was so fresh and it redeemed the whole meal. As soon as you walk in everything looks so outdated like the restaurant is stuck in the 90s. It's not bad but it just seems odd for a busy buffet style restaurant. I feel like the owners need to invest in the restaurant and update the place especially the bathrooms. I hope this place can get a little TLC, revise its menu and upgrade the place and it would be a great place to dine at. read more

Great food and excellent service!! Luis is always friendly. I love their pasticio, just like Yiayia used to make. Great gyros too!!

This is a small and simple restaurant by i35. The food is very authentic and the portions are simple huge! The staff was very helpful to explain all the options and help us understand what each dish consists of. My chicken was moist, the hummus was fresh and had good texture. The only thing I did not like was the dolmas. It was just a lot of food. I couldn't even touch my salad. We all had leftover for dinner which in my opinion is perfect. read more

Service is always great. The menu items are always authentic and super yummy. It's a mom and pop shop and you always feel welcome.

This place has some delicious Greek food. I first discovered Plaka when looking up restaurants midway between Austin & Temple! Since then I have been here at least 3 times with each visit being better than the last. I have consistently ordered (and loved) their gyro plate, which is lamb & beef served with feta salad, rice pilaf, Greek-style meatballs, and tzatziki. The meat is so tender and flavorful, and all of the included side dishes make it such a filling meal. Their prices are also very fair! Next time you are visiting Georgetown or driving down I-35 between Austin & Temple, I would recommend stopping by Plaka for some amazing Greek food. read more

Update: we have been coming here for last 10 years. I have always ordered either the combo plate or #16 which is create your own with chicken and lamb, along 3 sides. Sides: meatball (1), limabeans, and potato and eggplant mixture. and all plates come with tzatziki sauce ... as well as either side salad or soup. kinda pricy but i always have left overs so its really 2 meals in one. about $30 for 2 with tax and tip. read more

Great variety abundance of food and really good. I felt like I was back in Greece. Highly recommend

After reporting to jury duty then told to call back on Tuesday, decide to have lunch in Georgetown. Searching Yelp, I came to the conclusion there isn't too many options. Then I spotted greek food, yum. Hit Yelp button for directions and I was on my way. It was right off 35 and easy to find. It was early but there was a short line already. I joined at the end of it and read the menu. When it was my turn, I got the make your own plate with chicken, spanakopita, dolma. It comes with a salad and naan. Waited while they cut the chicken off the spit and my plate was given to me. Found a table near the door. Dug into the salad first, very good. Vegetables were fresh and dressing wasn't overpowering. Next I tried the chicken and lucked out. I got some "Burnt Ends" love those pieces as the favor intensifies. Extremely tasty. The spanakopita was loaded with spinach. And the dolma, let me tell you, huge. You know they usually come with the diameter of your finger, this one was 3 fingers round, huge. I had to go up to the counter to get a to go box. Could only finish half the food. For the amount of food you get, pricing was reasonable. read more

Excellent food, fair prices and spotless kitchen and dining area. What more could you ask for in authentic ethnic food? Gyros is a specialty that stands out as excellent as do their appetizers, soups and dessert. Best hummus and falafel in ATX area! P.S. I forgot to mention the cherry on top of the sundae! They have a drive through, pick-up window where you may call ahead or order "on the spot"! Expect speedy service and a yummy, visually appealing dish garnished with fresh lemon, parsley and friendly service! read more

I've never been able to travel as I grew up in a lower income, single bread-winner, Latino household so the marvels of Greek cuisine were always out of reach. But let me tell ya, once I took a bite out of my Gyro Plate, my soul travelled 6,000 miles to the shores of Athens. The service was fast and friendly, the food was fresh and astoundingly affordable. It was an out of body experience that I had never dreamt would occur for only $8 and some change. After I was done eating, I watched the movie 300 about 4 times as I could not get enough of Greece in me. If I could shake the cooks hand, no...if I could hug that human...I would hold and not let go. But I can't because of COVID and all that. Anyway, I got sidetracked. This place is incredible quality and value, and if you like Greek food or think you might like it, stop by and try it. You won't regret it. read more

We have been to Plaka Greek several times and loved the gyros. They were very kind in helping the "Greek food ignorant." The only downside for me was the sauce they had was cucumber with no other choice. I don't do cucumbers. read more

I love their food. Try the lamb gyros or the chicken wrap combo with Lima beans. They also have a baklava that is pretty good but a little dry. I think it needs more honey. read more

I used to like this place quite a bit. It was never GREAT, but totally decent Greek food that felt like an awesome option for healthy fast food. Recently things have changed. I get that prices are higher...they are everywhere, but the food quality has TANKED along with the price hike. Customer service has also gone downhill. I'm sad, but I won't be back. There are better fresh options in Georgetown. Today I ordered my usual chicken salad. I had one cucumber, 2 tomato slices and zero red onion. The entire salad was bagged American blend (iceberg with carrot shreds). I had 5 (FIVE!!!!) iceberg stems thrown in the mix as well. The chicken included large pieces of nothing but fat. I was grossed out. This is the second time in a couple of weeks I have had this salad served like this (iceberg stems, no veggies and fat). I thought the first time was a fluke but I guess not. For $14 I expect more than $1 worth of crap lettuce with weird fatty meat on top. read more
