Reviews for Plaka Grill in Vienna, VA
Their food is fresh tasting and plentiful. I especially like their salads, dips and lentil soup. Even when the place gets busy,... their staff is polite and efficient. It gets busy so order ahead for take out. Read more
One of the best in the area. Plaka salad, chicken-plaka-chicago gyros, falafel, fries are all very good.
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 andspanakopita 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 spinachwith 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 tostart. The gyro came as advertised with a pleasing proportion of meat to vegetables to fries without having to order extra ofanything. The meat struck me as a little on the dry side but flavored well and not over salted. Fries were as crispy as aten-minute car ride back home would allow and were not over salted either. The salad had crisp lettuce and fresh tasting otheringredients 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 onceyou start eating), and not overly sweet honey syrup left me with a satisfied feeling overall. The prices strike me as reasonablefor the Vienna area. Service was everything you want for a pickup order: cordial and efficient. A staff person taking orderskept me updated on where my order was in his list of takeout and dine-in orders. A few folks had takeout orders before me, andthey were not waiting more than a few minutes if that for their food. The interior looked clean with Read more
I?ve been to the other Plaka at Vienna many times, and only discovered this (closer) one when a friend moved nearby. Plaka has... always been the best gyros I?ve had and basically Greek comfort food. The food at the falls church location is just as good asmy previous go-to in Vienna and less crowded with the much larger space. The ?Chicago style? Plaka gyro is my happy place. 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
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 musttry!!! They have a few locations (Vienna is where I went) so one of these gems may be near where you live... Read more
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 entreeform. They have good zucchini fritters. They have got spanikopita, though honestly, I would also be ok with grocery storespanikopita. There are many good Greek or Persian kabob and wrap places around, but the quality of the food will make me choosePlaka over all of them. Oh, also, ordering was easy online. They text you when the order is ready, too. And they brought it tomy car while wearing a mask. Read more
The Chicago Gyro wrap was great. Chicken bowls were also good but it just had a small piece of chicken. The taste was awesome... ???????? Read more
