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

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

They literally told me to email them to make things right and then didn't respond to the email I sent. Ridiculous. This type of customer treatment is terrible. 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

Love this "fast food" Greek restaurant! The restaurant is small and has an informal atmosphere but the food is fresh and tasty. Have also ordered from their catering menu and the service and the food were equally great. read more

Always a solid choice with Plaka - whether sandwich or bowl/salad, food is always fresh and flavors delicious. Wish the bowls were a bit bigger (more salad leaves), since the bowl is never filled even near to the top, but at least taste is consistently good. 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

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

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

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

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

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

Great food and the staff is very friendly too. The food was delicious, I will definitely come back again. 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. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is totally relaxed and the service is wonderful. I have tried the salads and bowls, both tasted amazing and not a crumb was left on my plate when I finished. Oh the fried zucchini is good too. Their tzatziki sauce is money!! 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

This place was great! This is the type of restaurant that you order at the register and then sit and wait for your food. However, the staff was very nice and the environment felt just like a traditional restaurant. I would definitely come back and dine in. I noticed numerous people getting takeout so this is definitely going to be one of my rainy day takeout meals as well!! The food was very good. My favorite items were the fries and Taziki! 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 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

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

Went to this place & saw the Gyro spick, said yes.

No misses here all on point The taste excellent the portions really good loved every part of the place & food Great homemade like food. Nothing fancy the way it should be Like Gyros it's the place to go read more

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

Really delicious greek food! Found this place through Yelp and I needed to find a place to get lunch and this came right up. Got the regular gyro wrap and it came out very fast within 10 minutes and it was hot & fresh. Reasonably priced all around. I really enjoyed my experience here and will be back in the future! 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

It doesn't look like much when you walk inside, but I can see why it is a lot of local's favorites. The side of potatoes are really buttery and good. Their gyro sandwhiches / platters are really good as well. It is what you imagine gyro platters would be , comes with a simple side salad / fries. In my opinion, it's not anything extravagant but it is a local spot and it's easy to order food and the service is pretty quick. The food tastes good and you generally get what you're paying for. read more

The food was excellent. Our top picks were the Plaka salad with shrimp, and the zucchini fritters were exceptionally yummy. The customer service though could use some improvement, hence the four stars. read more

Always really good, fresh food! They use authentic ingredients. Everything is great, but our favorites are the chicken souvlaki, tzatziki (I can eat it with a spoon), tyrokefteri, and spanakopitas. read more

Don't understand the high ratings. Late afternoon ordered sandwich and fries to go. I was only customer and they forgot my fries .... Doesn't deserve the ratings read more

When I'm in the area, I always stop at Plaka Grill. Food is tasty and unique. Highly recommend their Plaka Gyro.

First off - order the FRIES! They're made fresh for each order and taste so good! But I couldn't just eat the fries alone, so I ordered the chicken souvlaki. The food was very satisfying, however, I think it's kind of overpriced. My souvlaki, fries, and soda cost about $13. But I guess that's fine because it was very flavorful! I saw most people taking their orders to go or picking up, but there are four tables to eat in as well. It's located in kind of a busy intersection with a small parking lot, so you'll have to be patient with finding parking. As for COVID precautions, they have tabled spaced six feet apart, staff wore masks, and hand sanitizer was readily available. I will definitely be coming back here to try one of their main entrees (and for the fries of course)! If you're looking for some fresh gyros, souvlaki, and top notch fries, this is the place! read more
