    Pita
    Yuna C.

    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.

    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!

    Chicken souvlaki bowl

    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)

    Souvlaki platter

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Plateia GR is like a block from my friends' house in Bayside. We picked it up for dinner on a Monday. I ordered a Gyro with feta and no tomato. My friends ordered a chicken plate and a gyro plate. I love all the Greek food in Queens. Super generous portions too!

    I came here for brunch today and everything exceeded my expectations. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was so good I can't wait to come back. The Greek music playing makes you feel like you are in Greece along with all the decor.

    First time visiting here as a group. All the food we ordered arrived fresh and delicious. Desserts were also fresh, and their coffee was excellent too. Service was outstanding as well.

    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.

    Overpriced and less than subpar food, except for the fries. Unfortunately the wait staff is rude and dismissive.

I went on a quiet Tuesday and basically had the place to myself. They even showed me around the back, which was pretty cool and made me appreciate the operation even more. I tried the lemon stuffed cabbage because I wanted something besides the usual gyro. Remember to always eat your vegetables! The decor is great for a date, great lighting. I found plenty of street parking. It is a place that clearly cares about what they serve.

Came with some friends for lunch. We all got various combinations of the mixed plate and an order of fried calamari. The calamari was lightly breaded in a flaky batter that brought out the flavors of the squid. Cooked to perfection it was tender, not chewy. As for the mixed platters, we had lamb gyro and the souvlakis as well as the lemon potatoes and fries. The lemon potatoes were perfectly seasoned and had a nice tartness to each bite. The lamb gyro was tender. The chicken souvlaki being moist and flavorful is the barometer for the level of detail that goes into every plate served.

The food was delicious and the ambience was amazing. The service was so nice. All the waiters were so welcoming and it was amazing. I love how the restaurant is all about culture and shows tremendous diversity. It felt like I was in another world. The steaks were to die for and the kebabs were amazing. The salads I can't even tell you how good they were, we of course, had to order to go. Prices are fair and overall I totally rate this 10 out of 10. It's great for dates parties or just a regular outing. And on top of that, they also do catering, which is so good to hear.

Went inside, and it felt like I was transported elsewhere and not in NYC. I liked how the entire place was decorated. There's room to move around and private sections that are closed off with curtains. Food wise, there were two menus, one that was a tablet which had more options and this other large black book. I suggest looking at the tablet. It took a while to decide what we wanted as there were so many sections. I chose the two soups, which were the dumpling langman soup and the shurpa soup. One tasted like chicken soup but with lamb instead. However, both were pretty small. For the table, we got the Manti soup dumplings, which had minced beef inside with soup inside too and beware it is hot. Also, we got the shepherds salad, but they don't have feta cheese, so we got it without that one ingredient. I would suggest this restaurant if you're interested in trying something unique such as Uzbek food.
