Jade made my visit and order perfect, I highly recommend this place good food and a great smile behind the counter

My fiancé and I were looking for a new spot to dine in for a date. We stumbled across this gorgeous location, where we were met with the friendliest staff! They sat us down near the windows and the entire restaurant was so clean and comfortable. The prices were very fair for the amount of food you get. And now that we're on the food, it was absolutely amazing. I mean from the plating and the portions, the flavor was outstanding!

Service was slow on a Thursday since there was only 1 server. Had to ask to refill water multiple times and they would keep forgetting. Otherwise, the food was delicious. The trio dip appetizer was massive. Gyro beef and lamb platter was a huge serving for $14, meat was slightly dry. Souvlaki pork platter was $23 and very flavorful and juicy, though slightly oily. We got pita bread with the dip and entree, some were super soft and some were hard/crunchy (which I kind of liked), but was weird. Overall, I'd come back and try the gyro pita and other items! read more

We decided to dine here based on the Yelp reviews and we were so glad we did ! The food was plentiful and delicious. We shared the mixed grill for 4 with our friends and we even took a little home. Very pleasant atmosphere and we will be back!!! read more

Left full and more than satisfied with leftovers! For 4 people, we got the choice of 3 spreads and Mixed Grill (beef & lamb gyro, pork gyro, chicken souvlaki, bifteki) with the side of Lemon Potatoes and Grilled Veggies. Would recommend not ordering Tzatziki only because it will come with the complimentary pita chips and your Grill platter. Really loved the crispiness of the Pork Gyro, sweetness of the Bifteki, and of course, the juiciness of the Chicken Souvlaki. read more

Hidden gem Greek spot in the Auburndale/Bayside neighborhood of Queens! Super cute decor once you step inside with a bigger dining room in the back of the restaurant - it makes you feel like you're in Santorini. All the food was absolutely delicious with decent portions from the charred octopus to the chicken souvlaki and beef gyro. I also love that they give you the option to pick sautéed veggies in addition to lemon potatoes, rice and fries with the platter combos to make it a healthier and more balanced meal. The coffee and tiramisu was also delicious to end the meal with. Services was great and attentive - have absolutely no complaints and will be back soon! read more

Picked up two bowls for dinner, along with a couple of spreads. Both the chicken souvlaki and chicken gyro bowls were delicious, and the spicy feta was top notch. The disparity between the amount of meat in the gyro versus the souvlaki bowl was a bit disappointing - definitely didn't feel like the chicken souvlaki bowl was worth the price given the amount of chicken. Would come back, but definitely would also order differently next time. (Also, the vegetables in the bowl were large chunks - be prepared to need to cut them down prior to eating) read more

It has been a while so decided to give this place a try. I def had a better meal and see the lemon potatoes are so much better! Delish! You can mix the souvlaki which I liked, I got 2 chicken and 1 pork. The pork souvlaki actually was better than chicken. The tzatziki sauce was good, and the pita was really good. Usually I don't care for pita but theirs was good! The salad could use a little more love like throw in a little feta. The souvlaki sticks were on the smaller size. But overall def had a better meal! Will try their gyro platter again next time! read more

3.5 stars overall. Restaurant looks quite new and very clean in the decor. The dining room is very well lit and looks semi casual overall. There is a back dining area for bigger groups or for when the front gets full. We were lucky to score a table near the semi-open kitchen counter area so we could kind of see the action. The wall is still high but we could see the plates coming out. Our experience was hit or miss this visit. The Ouzo Charred octopus we ordered had two temperatures, warm to hot so that was a little off. And it was overcooked, quite chewy, which led me to think that this was octopus reheated. I hope it was not the case. The Ouzo itself had a nice dry-anise flavor but the octopus not tender, didn't save the dish. I also ordered the fried zucchini chips, which is usually one of my favorite guilty pleasures dining at Greek places but I didn't care for the batter on these. The kolokithokeftedes were just not crispy as expected. Onto the entrees, my dining companion did not enjoy her shrimp skewers, it was grilled to a nice color but slightly under seasoned. To be fair, she just returned from Greece so she may be judging more harshly. I had ordered the keftiko, which was a tender, slow cooked lamb entree. This was good but had a gamey after taste. I didn't mind since I like lamb but for those on the fence, this dish is not for you. The herbd and spices I enjoyed along with the side salad and fries. We passed on dessert even though we were curious. The waiter was quite attentive and that we appreciated. Plates were good portions and while I'm not running back, I'd return to try something else. I love Greek food afterall and I didn't get to order the gyro which is really a better barometer for testing out this place. read more

Very welcoming decor, brightly decorated in blue and white ( just like a restaurant in Greece). Staff very friendly, our server Nikki was amazing. Very delicious food with generous portions. Next time we will try their brunch menu. There were four of us for lunch one ordered Greek eggs Benedict ( sorry, no photos) and it looked amazing. We will definitely come back. read more

4.25 This will probably become a regular spot for Greek/Mediterranean food in our rotation. Plateia GR just opened recently and took over the location of a place wifey and I used to order from, Kalamaki GR. We were hoping this place would be just as good, and it did not disappoint. From the outside and in, I love how Plateia GR brightened everything up. The white exterior paint (even the sidewalk design) and the interior decor make the place feel livelier and more inviting. The service at Plateia GR was okay. Our server, quite honestly, wasn't the greatest. It took a while to get our order, and he didn't seem to pay much attention to us afterwards. The busser and one of the people behind the counter seemed to take better care of us, so kudos to them. After our initial order, we wanted to try something else and the person behind the counter noticed I needed something and put the order in. The food, however, was pretty good. They bring out seasoned pita with a generous portion of really good tzatziki. I love how their tzatziki has a strong garlic flavor. We ordered the Plateia Chips (fried zucchini and eggplant), Gyro Platter (beef/lamb) with fries, a Chicken Souvlaki Platter with rice, and an order of lemon potatoes. The Plateia Chips were great--the breading and seasoning complemented them well. The chicken souvlaki was done perfectly; it was juicy and flavorful. The fries, lemon potatoes, and rice were solid. The gyro meat, however, seemed a bit dry. A nice touch at Plateia GR is their branding. The disposable paper tablecloths and their bags are stamped with their logo, which adds a nice personal flair. read more

Very very good Greek/Mediterranean food- dare I say might almost be better than Maria's in bayside which currently holds our top spot. They are much more generous with their portions than Maria's that's for sure! The only gripe I have is that their menu is a bit limited but they are still a newer restaurant so they have time to perfect! For example, would love to see more dip options or be able to order the egg plant dip on its own than only from the three dip plate. But the souvlaki is delish here, juicy and well seasoned. Lemon potatoes amazing! Have to try the salad some time read more

We had a delightful lunch yesterday at this new Greek restaurant. The décor was lovely and really transports you to the Greek isles with its traditional Greek blue and white color scheme, shutters, painted sidewalk and blond wood floors and tables. We were greeted as soon as we came in and the owner even came over to chat with us during our meal. We got: Choice of 3 Spreads ($16): we choose the Tzatziki (cucumber yogurt dip), Kopanisti (spiced feta dip) and Eggplant dip. It came with toasted pita bread. Our favorite hands down among the 3 dips was the Tzatziki. It was tangy and creamy and yummy. Pita Sandwich ($14): this comes in your choice of protein (10 options) and we got one each with Pork and Chicken Souvlaki. The sandwiches had tomatoes, onions, tzatziki and French fries. Very hearty and filling. We thought the Chicken Souvlaki was good, but we loved the Pork Souvlaki. We ended up ordering an extra stick of Pork Souvlaki meat as a result. French Fries ($9): delicious, crispy and fresh. I wish it came with a dip but alas we had to make do with ketchup Single Pork Souvlaki Stick ($4): perfectly grilled, smoky, tender pieces of pork. We ordered this because the pita sandwich didn't have enough meat for our liking. It's nice not to have to schlep to Astoria for good Greek food. And soon they will have an outdoor patio area in the back of the restaurant. Another good reason to come and visit them. read more

Disappointing Easter Celebration - Not Worth the 2-Hour Drive My family and I (a party of five, including my elderly mother) visited Plateia GR on Sunday, April 12th at 3 pm for an Easter meal. My niece and two great-grandnieces drove two hours from High Bridge, NJ, just to spend this special day with me and their "Yiayia," but unfortunately, the meal and service did not live up to the occasion. While the atmosphere was lovely - airy and remeniscent of a Greek island - the meal and experience was downhill from there. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by our waiter, Yianni, and seated in the front area by the windows as Voula had promised the day before. Yianni handed us our menus but when I asked for a physical Easter menu, Yianni repeatedly told me to look it up online. Only after I questioned this did he provide two small index cards listing the Easter specials for our party of five. As Greeks, we were all looking forward to the Arni (lamb), but at $40 per plate, it was incredibly disappointing. The meat was mostly bone and extremely chewy - not at all the "slow-cooked" consistency we expected. To make matters worse, the "house salad" listed alongside the Arni (lamb) entree was just a handful of greens on the same plate. At this price point, a separate salad and a cup of Avgolemano soup should have been included. (The Avgolemano soup ordered separately at $10 a bowl {only offered in bowl size} was very tasty and enjoyed by all.) Throughout our meal, Yianni was often nowhere to be found, or seemingly preoccupied with on a tablet at the counter. We had to flag down a very accommodating young lady on staff to address our needs. We were also only served one small platter of pita cut into triangles with a tiny container of tzatseki for five people. When we asked for more, the second plate arrived without any sauce. Following our meal, we weren't even served any Tsoureki (Traditional Greek Easter sweet bread) for dessert as we had expected. I still left a $40 tip (over 18%) out of respect for our shared heritage and the holiday, but after a total bill of $262.11, we left feeling very let down. When family travels that far for a special holiday meal you hope for better. It's unfortunate that a neighborhood spot would offer such poor value and service on such a significant occasion. read more

20 years ago I used to come to Kati Allo at this location. I literally lived there, dining at least 3-4 times a week before Gordon Ramsay tried to revamp and ruined everything. Now I see it's a more modern version at Plateia and I love it! I was in the area and a bit exhausted so I decided to grab something to go. Next time I will dine in. Tried the Gyro bowl with delicious rice, onions, tomatoes, stuffed grape leaves, feta cheese, and Gyro on top. The Gyro itself tasted a little bit sweet, but I'm not sure if that's because it was sitting on top of the feta cheese and tomatoes and onions. It wasn't a bad taste, but just not what I'm used to. I would prefer the tomatoes and onions more chopped up if you're going to serve it in a bowl as it was hard to consume with all the ingredients. I got the lemon/olive oil dressing and their Plateia sauce which to me was a combo of thousand island and honey mustard. Very different than other sauces but very good for fries or on a salad. I also tried the fried eggplant and zucchini chips. Surprisingly, they were still crispy and crunchy by the time I got home. Their tzatziki sauce is absolutely amazing and a little bit more on the garlicky side. Everyone is super nice including the chefs who are working hard cranking out those dishes. read more

Wow! Incredibly delicious and authentic. Lemon potatoes are to die for! I especially loved the pita chicken plate. They give a generous amount of chicken too. Delivery experience was personal and fast. Can't wait to eat in the restaurant! Go now! read more

Nice looking place! Fresh, clean and new! We wanted to love it since it is in our neighborhood. It took over for Kalamaki. The service was good, friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was attentive. My haloumi was drowned in olive oil and hence lost the firm grilled texture. We had chicken and lemon potatoes that were flavorful but again overly doused in olive oil. My hubby liked the lamb chops. The octopoti as an app was good but at $28, small portion. They ran out of galactoboureko so we had the tiramisu and orange cake for dessert. They were very flavorful and nicely portioned. We'd like to give it another try in the future. read more

This Greek restaurant just opens for a month. We went there for a quick lunch. The indoor seating is beautiful and cozy. The service is attentive. The waiter served water and complimentary pita right away once we sat down. Fried calamari was super delicious and crispy outside, soft inside. Each piece was quite huge. Greek salad was very fresh with a thick chunk of feta cheese. My friend ordered single chicken souvlaki stick, and she said it was juicy and soft. I strongly recommend this restaurant and will go back for sure. read more

The food is fine, but the website doesn't work at all and their food descriptions on grubhub are unclear. I ordered ahead and had to wait about 30 minutes for the food. I ordered 3 gyro. I got 3 boxes of gyro meat. No sides and no pita or anything else. I was told that 3 gyro a la carte means just the meat. There's no descriptions on grubhub explaining that. They eventually agreed to make the meat into sandwiches but they weren't happy about it. I also ordered a greek soda ($5) which they were out of and offered me a can of $1 ginger ale as a substitute. Eventually I convinced her to do a $5 coffee instead but, again, they weren't happy about doing that. With so many other local places, I won't be back. read more

Quick takeout lunch from NEW Plateia GR in Bayside. Friendly and welcoming staff, bright, clean location. A few guests occupied tables inside, and after a look at the menu, we ordered Pita Sandwiches, and waited outside. Host was happy to customize our order, even last minute, and brought the food out to us when ready. Overstuffed, warm tender pita - not soggy! - perfectly seasoned, fresh ingredients, very tasty! Greek seafood fans might go elsewhere for fish and get meat here. Recommend. Welcome to the neighborhood and good luck! read more

Visited for the roasted lamb special advertised on Instagram for Easter Sunday. Sadly, it did not live up to flavor or tender expectations. The meat appeared oddly rainbow colored and was quite tough and dry instead of tender. After eating a bit, I didn't feel great afterward. Based on this experience, I'd be cautious about coming here again. Would tell you to avoid this experience completely ! read more

Came in with a party of 8 (all various ages) on a Saturday night. The vibe was great; very friendly staff and atmosphere, attentive, and everyone enjoyed their meals (something I don't say about this group very often--maybe never). The wine is all Greek; we had the "less dry" white and it was tasty. I also loved their tzatziki sauce, and that they had horta on the menu! My only quibble was with the lighting. For dinner on a Saturday night, it was WAY too bright in there! The Greek theme of "Santorini" white and blue is lovely but I would have loved if they had put some dimmers on their light switches to turn them down in the evening. For lunch, bright and airy is great. For dinner, no. Maybe some candlelight? I don't know but it drove me crazy so I just wanted to make that suggestion to the management for whatever that's worth. It just made me feel like I was eating in a cafeteria. read more

Initially came by for their salads a previous date (delicious btw) and noticed the cozy internal decor when picking up the takeout. Decided to come back for a dine in and glad I did. Ordered the zucchini/eggplant chips appetizer with souvlaki platters (pork and chicken) as a main. They gave a basket of baked chips with tzatziki sauce which was welcomed and delicious. The zucchini/eggplant chips were lightly fried and tasted great with their refreshing tzatziki sauce. The grilled meat was done well, flavored and juicy. I opted for the crispy fries while my partner had lemon potatoes (bit sour on its own, but goes well with the meats). They also had a tasty salad and hearty pita bread to go along with tzatziki sauce and meats. Service was quick and attentive. Appreciated the fact they provided more napkins when I made a lil sauce splash removing meat from the skewers We were stuffed by the end of the meal and opted out of dessert (would def try if I didn't eat so much) yet they still gave us a slice of baklava on the house, which was very much appreciated. Def will be coming back here! read more

Good local choice. The place is pretty and has good space in the back. The salad was excellent and the so were the zucchini fritters.

Food was good but I got glass of house red wine for $9.00 they come out with a small glass the bottom part of glass was smaller it was filled up not even half way I took three sips and it was gone so I will not be going back or recommend this restaurant. Why not do the right thing i was paying for regular glass of wine I even asked waitress and she said that's all you get! read more
