This is a neighborhood favorite for casual Greek food - great quality and friendly service. I love the zucchini fritters & oven roasted potatoes (addictive!) - and the avgolemeno soup is on point. read more

STALE fries! Avoid "plaka" style. I don't know why but as a person who loves getting takeout, I have been having negative experiences dining out this past month, even though I always hope that my next order will be good and that nothing will go wrong. Well I was proven wrong, yet again. :( Judging by the amount of good reviews on here, I am disappointed! Avoid the fries here, please. They are stale! I ordered a Chicago Gyro (Plaka style) which means they include fries in the gyro sandwich. Much to my disbelief, upon trying one of these fries, I bit down and what seemed to be a stale and refried fry. It seems like maybe they used old fries from lunch time and then fried them again resulting in their fries being as hard as a rock. I was unable to really eat any of them as they were all completely hardened. I attached a pic for reference. This was what I was looking forward to the most and what ended up not tasting so great. The meat was good, pretty standard seasoning, nothing super memorable. One thing I appreciated and the reason for an extra star is they gave good portions for the meat. The tzatziki sauce was good. Based on this experience, I don't really understand the hype of this place and will continue my search for a good gyro with fries. read more

Plaka Grill - If you look closely you can see all the fries are hard and not soft at all. - Greek Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

It's definitely not a cheap eat. It's an okay option though for Greek food especially since Maggios down the road is closing. Though if you're going to pay a lot for Greek food then I'd suggest the Greek place is the Mosaic District in Merrifield. read more

We were craving something a little more refreshing after a few days of heavy American food. Meditteranean seemed like the right choice. We easily ordered online for takeout for a simple night in. We really liked the moussaka. For fast food style, the moussaka definitely tasted fine restaurant quality. We also ordered a Chicago style gyro and it was solid, but not mind-blowing. My mom likes Greek salads so we ordered one for her in mind, but we all ended up liking it a lot and stole bites. We added pork souvlaki to the salad and it was tender and yummy even though it appeared dry. I guess this spur of the moment dinner option was full of surprises! I'm kind of sad I don't live in Virginia so I could return more often for a quick Mediterranean fix. read more

Many of the restaurants/eating establishments in the town of Vienna seems to be adopting a "Closed on Monday" policy. This last Monday, we were happy to find that Plaka Grill is still open on Mondays. My wife prefers the gyro special with french fries. I tend to go for the moussaka. On this particular Monday, I was not that hungry; I forgot to say "Kids Portion" and too much food to eat (i.e., the moussaka, potatoes, Greek salad, and bread. As a senior citizen, I am always happy to find restaurants that will allow for orders of "kids portions" or the "lunch portion" during the evening meal times. read more

Hole-in-the-wall, counter-service, neighborhood Greek spot that has a huge following I came here on a Saturday night with my GF and the place was packed! We could barely get a table The menu is pretty comprehensive, and they have a ton of different options We both got chicken gyro and French fries. The food was all very good, but the gyro was a little on the smaller side. It was ham packed with ingredients, but this resulted in it falling apart completely. The tzatziki that was on it was great though read more

Just a great takeout option for the family if you like classic gyros. The Vienna location can be rather busy during peak times (Friday or Saturday nights). First, I would recommend that you order in advance to save waiting time. Since the parking lot is near the intersection of Lawyers Road and Route 123, you'll need to some patience to exit the lot if there's a lot of traffic. Second, the seasoned fries are outstanding as my two teenage sons (16 yrs, 14 yrs) can attest. If you order them Chicago plaka style, they'll put the fries directly into your sandwich. My kids enjoy mashing it together in one place, but I find it overwhelming. It's a bit like a Primanti Brothers sandwich (from the Pittsburgh chain) where the fries are placed in your sandwich. I will say that the meat is seasoned well, but a tad on the salty side for me. My sons and wife disagree on the salty part. But this is the only reason for 4 stars. Third, it's worth trying the other items on the menu (e.g., chicken souvlaki). During the COVID-19 pandemic, it looks like Plaka Grill reduced the number of indoor tables available and implemented a streamlined takeout system. When you arrive, just go to the front counter to pay for your order. read more

Some food was dry while other food was greasy. The table was sticky and dirty. This restaurant is no longer in its prime.

My favorite quick bite for authentic Greek food! I love that everything is made to order and my baby love the fries and I don't feel so bad giving her anything. The customer service is always friendly and dependable. They aren't receiving 5 stars because the bathrooms need to be cleaned more often. read more

First time back in over five years and it is still as good as I remember it. We got the chicken, beef, and gyro souvlaki and everything was so fresh and tasty. Salad, veggies, and fries were also very good. Definitely recommend for Mediterranean food and also for a healthier option. read more

Plaka Grill - Saddest kid's meal. Not worth the money at all. - Greek Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I am so thrilled we found this restaurant. It is the best Greek food I've had in NOVA. There is very little seating, so don't come with a large group and expect to all have a seat. We were thrilled with this find! read more

Today, I sadly received a scoop of straight up mayonnaise in my build-your-bowl, in which I had to carefully remove in order to enjoy. I placed my usual online order. During pickup, there was a wait so I assume the rush caused the mistake(chef scooped mayo instead of the Taramosalata). The rest of my bowl was correct and tasty, generous portion of Chicago gryo as usual. I am a loyal customer of Plaka, and hope this was a one off mistake. read more

Plaka Grill is one of the best Greek places in Northern Virginia! My family and I love a variety of the dishes here! It's so good we even catered their food here for our wedding a couple years back during the peak of Covid. They were fantastic and prepared everything accordingly and beautifully. On a regular basis, we will order their falafels and peter's special salad. Peter's salad consists of Baby arugula, kalamata olives, shaved parmesan, grape & sun-dried tomato, onion, and feta gallette. We also get the chicago gyro and Beef Souvlaki. Their beef is delicious and so tender! Our kids love their chicken tenders (and so do I). Their chicken tenders are somehow extremely tender. You can tell they use high quality ingredients. Price is normal for northern VA. Service is always great and they are super helpful if you ever have questions on the menu. We tend to do takeout and our food is always packaged nicely and ready to go. There is parking and indoor seating. Indoor seating is slightly smaller, so not recommended for large parties. Overall, love this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for Greek food! read more

My favorite place to get a gyro! Whichever option you choose here, you'll love it. I love love love the gyros with fries in them. You might roll out of Plaka but it's well worth it! read more

Yum! Plaka Grill always delivers on great authentic Greek cuisine. Ingredients taste fresh and great. We've eaten inside before - it's a pretty simple, homey, casual setup. Since we wanted to eat at home, this time around we asked take out. The cashier was kind enough to offer to take it out to our car when the food was ready. We had fakes soups (lentils and vegetables), chicken souvlaki platters, and a chicken souvlaki gyro. So good, some of my family members swear by greek food now. The only question mark is why the greek salad would have lettuce? Real greek salad should not have lettuce! To be fair, it's labeled as Plaka salad when I double checked but something that should be communicated if customers ask for a greek salad and are given a Plaka salad. read more

Another place that I am surprised I had not reviewed before. I have been here plenty of times over the years. I always find the food delicious, especially the gyros. It's like comfort food, when I want something tasty, hot, fast and filling. The kitchen staff is efficient and helpful. Inside seating and the tables are far apart. Not very comfortable though, with 4 big legs that prohibit, even a small person to get feet or legs in. Always clean. You won't go wrong with anything on the menu. This is a always a good choice for lunch. read more

Among the greatest gyros! I never go anywhere else but here for a gyro! My kids love their pizza too.

Plaka is one of our long time favorites and offers consistent, tasty, fresh greek/Mediterranean favorites. My personal go-to is the Plaka Gyro - fresh pita with nice pieces of pork, tasty red onions, tomato, tzatiki, topped off with the nicely seasoned plaka fries. Good stuff. I also enjoy their lemony Avlogemeno soup which is another Greek staple. We've also had the Roasted Chicken which is flavored nicely with various spices and a surprise is the kid's chicken tenders. Not your average tenders as they are seasoned, crispy and fried nicely with a honey mustard sauce. We hit up Plaka on a fairly regular basis when feelin a standard gyro or the plaka gyro...you should too! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I swung by while running errands and it was empty at first but as the evening steadily approached, the customers started rolling right in. I ordered a dinner plate that had chicken, salad, fries, and pita. The pita wasn't my fave but the chicken and the salad were absolutely delicious. I was a little turned off by the cleanliness inside and especially the restroom but all in all, the food was a 8/10. read more

We are rarely in Virginia, so have eaten at Plaka Grill only two or three times over the past several years. Each time, it's been excellent. Tonight was no exception. There were five in our party tonight, and we all enjoyed our meals. The weekend special appetizer, "Feta Me Meli" was incredible. The taramosalata, avgolemeno soup, and hummus were excellent, as always, as were the moussaka, roasted chicken Chicago Gyro, seasoned French fries, and baklava. Not only is the food terrific, the staff is friendly, and the service is great. read more

Having since returning from Plaka (Athens neighborhood of the Gods) a month ago, I have been in search of the traditional gyro (made with pork) and this place does it Right! Thank you Plaka Grill for sharing the taste of Greece once again. They also have good Greek wines and beers to go along with it. If you only had Loukoumades, my Plaka experience would have been complete. Yamas! read more

A HIDDEN GEM! I was telling a friend how it's difficult to find places where you can eat healthy food and he recommended this place.

Oh the fried zucchini is good too. Their tzatziki sauce is money!! read more

Plaka Grill is a great option for takeout in the Vienna VA area. We were visiting family for Christmas and eating out was not a good option (The youngest in the family is too young for a Covid vaccination.) Ordering and pickup was easy. DH enjoyed his quarter chicken and raved about the side of potatoes. A salad, some fries, and two gyros completed our meal. I did not think I would be able to finish my largevchicken gyro, but I did. So delicious. Plaka has an extensive menu, and I look forward to trying Plaka again next time we are in the area. read more

Great little place for inexpensive takeout falafels. Got the bowl, which had 3 medium sized falafels and many generous toppings. Spanakopita was very good, as well as the baklava. Service was quick and food well packaged without styrofoam. Will definitely be back to try other menu items. read more

We happened to be in the area and it was dinner time so Yelp lead us to Plaka Grill. My fiancé and I both got the Chicago Gyro Platter, one with roasted potatoes and one with fries. At first I thought the price was a bit steep but the plate came out pretty loaded! I liked the fries a bit more than the roasted potatoes though since the potatoes weren't really seasoned. I wish the tzatziki sauce came included and if we wanted more then it could be purchased. Luckily I asked when we ordered so that we would be able to add it on to the bill. read more

Food was average. Attitude of the female last night behind the counter and "delivering" the food to the tables is best described as "miserable". She "threw" the plates of food down on our table, not a single word, did the same for several others. I even left a modest tip - i ordered and bussed my own table, yet they still got a tip, so $50+ for two greek salads, hummus, falafel and a drink, an an extra side of attitude. Doubt we will be back. read more

Plaka Grill - Kids Souvlaki Platter - Greek Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Solid gyro place. Came here for a late lunch on a Friday, so thankfully, it wasn't too packed. My boyfriend and I both got Chicago style gyros (lamb and beef) combo. He got his Plaka style (fries inside the gyro), and I got mine regular. The meat was very tender and flavorful! So good. The fries were very lackluster for me. They were limp and soggy, and just didn't really taste that great. Overall, the food was good, but a little pricey for the size of the gyro, but the taste is worth it to come every now and then. read more

I was talking to a buddy of mine who can't drive about picking up some Mediterranean food from Plaka. He wanted chicken souvlaki and I decided on the half roasted chicken. The place smells like a kitchen somewhere in Greece, the fresh food being cooked is a delight to the olfactory sense. I ordered take out. The whole meal was right around $20. The souvlaki is big enough for two meals. Fresh chicken, lettuce, dressing all in a good size pita. The chicken I ordered was truly enough for two meals. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and filled with flavor. You receive warm pita bread with the chicken, so wrap it up. This place is a nice change from a lot of other run of the mill restaurants. I definitely will be back. read more

One of the best Greek food in town. Good portion size and fresh vegetables. I'm not a big fan of their fries, but I strongly recommend their mixed veggies for one of the sides (premium). They have rewards program so don't forget to sign up :) read more
