Plaka Grill

N T

Very well prepared food at a slightly higher price but the quality is worth it. Dining in is very limited but everything "travels" well and is easy to reheat if necessary. There are other Greek establishments in Vienna but this is clearly the best

I visited on a Thursday evening after remembering my positive experiences with the Falls Church branch. My pickup order was ready as promised within 30 minutes, and I was pleased with the prompt service when I arrived. My order consisted of felafel and spanakopita appetizers, a Plaka style Chicago gyro (lamb and beef with fries in the gyro), a side salad, a half chicken alone, and two orders of galaktoboureko for dessert. The phyllo pastry was light, crisp, and flaky while the filling tasted of spinach with the right amount of cheese to accent. The tzatziki sauce had a welcoming sharpness to accompany the crisp felafel fritters. A couple more fritters and a little more seasoning would have been nice, but overall I found these two offerings a great way to start. The gyro came as advertised with a pleasing proportion of meat to vegetables to fries without having to order extra of anything. The meat struck me as a little on the dry side but flavored well and not over salted. Fries were as crispy as a ten-minute car ride back home would allow and were not over salted either. The salad had crisp lettuce and fresh tasting other ingredients like the olives, cheese, and tomato. The chicken comes off the bone easily and has an acceptably seasoned taste, even if I did find the texture a bit dry similar to the lamb and beef in the gyro. Both offerings were enjoyable nonetheless. Dessert was another highlight, as the combination of flaky pastry, well-proportioned filling (looks less than you realize once you start eating), and not overly sweet honey syrup left me with a satisfied feeling overall. The prices strike me as reasonable for the Vienna area. Service was everything you want for a pickup order: cordial and efficient. A staff person taking orders kept me updated on where my order was in his list of takeout and dine-in orders. A few folks had takeout orders before me, and they were not waiting more than a few minutes if that for their food. The interior looked clean with a nice mural decorating the far wall as one enters. I am pleased to know that I can satisfy a Greek food craving with Plaka Grill convenient to my neighborhood.

Gyro you won't forget. Delicious taste explosion of Tzatziki sauce and the gyro meats. Whether you order traditional (Chicago style) as they call it or my favorite the Plaka wrap which is their own made with pork the taste will be unforgettable. A must try!!! They have a few locations (Vienna is where I went) so one of these gems may be near where you live...

The food was so good and unique, we ordered there two days in a row. I absolutely love their potatoes. I'm watching my carbs, and Plaka successfully made me cheat for two days. Their chicken is delicious. I've had it both in wrap form and in entree form. They have good zucchini fritters. They have got spanikopita, though honestly, I would also be ok with grocery store spanikopita. There are many good Greek or Persian kabob and wrap places around, but the quality of the food will make me choose Plaka over all of them. Oh, also, ordering was easy online. They text you when the order is ready, too. And they brought it to my car while wearing a mask.
