    Roast Lamb $25 for dry, overcooked, lamb. Tasteless green beans, half a potato and rice.
    Jeff C.

    I've never tried this Greek restaurant before. I thought I would try this place out for Mother's Day. I was able to book a table using OpenTable so it was nice and simple. Our server was nice and friendly. That's pretty much the extent of it. 1) Google maps has this place pinned wrong. Our GPS kept telling us to go by the Co-Op and we finally decided to search for it on our own. We found it across the street by the Target. 2) Our food took over 40mins to come out after ordering. It's a good thing we ordered their appetizers. 3) The server asked me if I wanted another ginger-ale and without informing me, she charged me for the extra drink. Most places would give you a heads up in case you think it's a free refill... Add $3. 4) For 6 of us we ordered: 2 appetizers, pita bread, 4 soft drinks (should have been 3), 2 glasses of wine and 6 entrees. Our bill after tax and gratuity came out to $226. 5) I ordered the roast lamb and what came out was a few bite sized chunks of lamb that was over cooked, dry and lacking flavour. This was supposed to be their "special dish". My wife ordered the lamb chops and hers were dry as well. I've never had bad lamb at a Greek restaurant until I went to Plaka. The worst part is all our entrees were in the $20~25 range. 6) The vegetables that came with our dish; unappealing green beans cooked in some sort of tomato and onion puree. The green beans were like mush and tasted like it came from a can or was cooked from frozen. 7) Menus were sticky and looked like they had not been wiped down in years. The walls had lots of dust and the picture frames had a layer of grease. In conclusion, because of the above points I'd have to give this place a 1-star. I expected more for a place that charged $25 for an entree. I've had better Greek food at a mall food court and that's no exaggeration.

    Efharisto Plaka!! I had dinner here with a guest last night - our first visit - this little gem was recommended by a friend. Located in a mini mall, the restaurant is small, maybe seating 50 people. Blue & White, kind of kitschy decor (it's a good thing I like kitsch :)) - It's typically Greek with warm lighting and upbeat contemporary Greek music playing throughout. I was surprised to see only three other tables in the room, as a cheery man named Yanni showed us to a table. We had the main course platter for two, couldn't believe it was only $50! The Calamari was delicious and the perfect texture, our Souvlaki was also very nice; tender and seasoned well. The platter came with a huge portion of Spanakopita (my fave) which was perfect. Fresh & flavourful cheese, nice & hot, with crispy pastry. Droooool :)) Last but not least, the Moussaka - Spiced Beef, Fresh Vegetables (aubergine/egg plant, zucchini/courgette, potato) and the yummiest béchamel style topping. TO DIE FOR. The last time I had such a delicious meal of this style, was in Greece on the island of Rhodes (Rodos) in 2001. Yanni was thrilled when we told him this, and made us promise to return... Authentic service, delicious food, VERY good prices. We will most definitely return, Yanni! Opa! KLM

    Hidden gem of a Greek restaurant. Staff is super friendly, it's been around forever. Calamari was really good, not at all over cooked, just right. We each ordered a Souvlaki with Pita, one had lamb and the other chicken I think. The desert we shared was Deep Fried Crusted Ice Cream with honey drizzle.

    Excellent authentic Greek food and consistently high quality. A little pricey but a real treat if you like Greek.

    Food is good a definite 4 star. Owner's integrity questionable several times. Double check your order, and the bill.
