    Pork Souvlaki Bowl with Rice, Sautéed Onions, Pickled Onions, Pepper Medley, Hummus and Melitzanosalata
    David H.

    Tasty food and friendly staff with a convenient location in the Giant shopping center that has plenty of parking. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table, some of the menu items/sauces might be unfamiliar so you can ask the staff or look at the dip appetizer section of the menu for explanations of most of them, They have an extensive menu and I tried the zucchini fritters appetizer (fried zucchini patties with mozzarella, mind and garlic) which I enjoyed and went perfectly with the tzatziki yogurt sauce. I also had the pork souvlaki rice bowl with rice, sauteed onions, pickled onions, pepper medley, hummus and melitzanosalata (roasted eggplant with onion and garlic). This was a large portion of tasty Greek food and everything fit well together, though the pork was a bit fatty but perfectly seasoned. I enjoyed my meal here and will be back again.

    Plaka Gyro Wrap

    The gyro here is very delicious and for $10.50 you're getting a nicely sized gyro which is amazing. The gyro meat is tender and fresh although the fries are about $6 they give you A LOT

    Small Plaka Salad, add Chicken Souvlaki

    Plaka Grill has always been a favorite of mine! Every time I go, I have to get the Plaka Salad with grilled chicken. It's so light and refreshing, the perfect pick-me-up in the middle of a busy day when you just need a good meal that doesn't weigh you down. Yes, the salad is a little on the pricey side, but honestly? Totally worth it in my eyes. I'm a salad girl through and through, and this place is valid when it comes to their salads. Highly recommend if you're looking for something fresh and satisfying! This time, we ate inside and sat in a booth. The inside was cool and comfortable, with a nice vibe. I loved that they had seating options where you could sit facing outside, perfect for a little people-watching or just enjoying some natural light while you eat.

    This is a must try place. The location has plenty of parking spaces and the restaurant is well lit, nicely decorated, and very clean. The staff are courteous and helpful. But I know you want to hear about the food, so here it goes: the food is divine. I took my teenager for dinner and we got two different gyros. My teen got the Plaka which has pork and the typical toppings and then they add French fries inside the gyro. He loved it, I could only count carbs. I ordered the Chicago which seemed as a more balanced meal and it was delicious. The prices are competitive or simply put just right. It is just under chipotle and the food is better. We also ordered the Hummus and as many know, everyone makes hummus differently and prefer it also differently. For my taste it was just ok, I would have preferred a smoother hummus (less corse). I will be going to this place more frequently for sure.

    Not sure what happened to my previous review, but it's been a while since I've been to Plaka Grill! I was craving for a Chicago-style gyro, so I came here for a late lunch - I ordered their Chicago Gyro, which came with a lamb & beef gyro meat that was perfectly cooked, sliced red onions, tzatziki sauce, and sliced tomatoes in a pita bread. I did ask for extra red onions and opted out of the lettuce, and requested the gyro meat to be well-done/crispy. The pita came generously filled, albeit the pita being a little dry. This wrap still satisfied my craving! Staff were welcoming and friendly, and there were plenty of seats inside - I was surprised at how spacious this place is, compared to their Vienna location. Located in Falls Plaza, and there's plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +Chicago Gyro +dry pita bread +friendly service +located in Falls Plaza +plenty of parking in shared plaza lot

    Plaka Grill food is delicious. Great place for gyro, souvlaki, greek salads, hummus, etc. The food comes out fairly quickly and hot. The prices are pretty reasonable for this area. Definitely recommended if you are craving some Greek food!

    Interior is bright and open.

    My son and I came here to pickup up chicken souvlaki sandwiches and 2 platters on New Year's Eve (Dec. 2023) after a nearby restaurant closed early for the holiday. Was delighted that Plaka Grill was still open! It's a lovely space with lots of tables and room to wait. Service was friendly. Parking is also easy and plentiful in the strip mall lot. We'll definitely return!

    Dips
    Caitlin C.

    Finding a good tzatziki nowadays seems challenging so I'm starting this review by saying the tzatziki was so good!!! Perfect consistency and flavor. The pita was so soft and all the dips were delicious. Personal favorites were the tzatziki and Tyrokafteri. The chicken souvlaki was so juicy and tender - I don't love getting grilled chicken out because a lot of times it's too dry or bland but this was so good. Especially dipped in the dips! Definitely a quite bite place and nothing fancy but you'll get good food here for sure.

    We go there monthly, usually for take away. The rotisserie chicken, Greek green beans, potatoes, and spanakopita are excellent.

I want to mention I was meeting friends and never did we once feel like we were rushed at all. They were very careful to watch and approach in a perfectly timed manner. The food was all very good. The fried zucchini was served not at all as I would expect. Very thin, but good. The tzatziki sauce had way too much garlic. The fried squid was excellent. Probably the best I've ever had. Extremely tender, and the coating was not hard at all. The scoldolia (garlic spread) served in the center had very little garlic in it. It should have a lot of garlic, unlike the tzatziki sauce. The octopus was served with a lovely, what I believe to be, lemony hummus. The Bronzino was excellent. The seafood souvlaki special was very good. It was served with rice and Greek style green beans. My friends had the loukumades (fried donuts). They said they were very good. I had the galotopoudiko which was good--could've been a little bigger for the price. Will definitely go back. My only comment is for the prices, I would expect a little nicer atmosphere. It's a little cold and baron. The atmosphere at Nostos is better. Sorry, but I always seem to forget to take pictures before I start eating the food.

The feta tasted really fresh, and I love the vinegarette used to make the salad a light, summery dish. Be warned the portions are huge, so you may want to avoid overordering apps like my party did. Aside from the Greek salad, highlights included the vegetarian dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with rice, herbs, and pine nuts), the spicy feta dip, and the lukamades (Greek doughnuts) with Nutella to end the meal.

    Lots to like at Smyrna!…read more I highly recommend the 3-course express lunch menu, which includes a starter and dessert. At $24 as of this writing, this is a great value! Decorated in clean blue and white colors, Smyrna has an appealing feel. Smyrna also has a rear patio open during good weather. We were started out with very decent complimentary warm pita bread. For my first (starter) course, I ordered the chicken avgolemono soup. While the soup was packed with tender chicken, I was disappointed that the soup didn't really have much of a tart, lemony flavor. It actually was bland. But what more than made up for the avgolemono soup was the beef Keftdedes I chose for my second course. This dish came with absolutely the best tomato-based sauce I've ever had anywhere anytime! Delicious and fabulous!! The beef keftdedes were plump ground beef patties served over little squares of pita bread and topped with the tomato sauce and also a yogurt sauce. JP ordered the Imam Bayildi, which was good. It came with roasted eggplant, diced tomatoes and diced onions. For our third course (dessert), I ordered the Revani, which was a moist dense semolina cake topped with ice cream and chocolate shavings. Outstanding flavor and texture. Perfect! JP ordered the walnut baklava which was excellent. Service was friendly and fine. Other than the avgolemono soup, this was indeed a five star dining experience.

I visited on a Sunday evening with some friends who hosted me in Alexandria when my flight out of DCA was postponed. I would recommend bringing a couple of friends here to dine, ordering a lot of items and sharing. We started with a couple of spreads, and the Baba Ghannush was my favorite. I also had a Greek salad, and we had some chicken souvlaki. The entrees are shareable and a large portion, and my friend also got an order of soup for the next day, since we knew we'd be snowed in. The service was wonderful, and the inside of the restaurant itself is gorgeous. One word of advice- do NOT sit near the door on a cold day because that wind kept coming into the building. The happy hour and lunch deals are excellent, so if you're nearby, it is worth stopping in.
