Plaka Grill is a straightforward Greek restaurant nestled in Vienna, VA, known for delivering hearty, well-executed Mediterranean dishes without pretense. The setting is casual and clean, making it an easy choice for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends or family. The atmosphere feels bright but unassuming, reflecting a neighborhood spot where locals regularly drop in for a satisfying meal rather than a special night out.

What stands out here is the focus on classic Greek flavors presented in generous portions. The menu features a variety of grilled meats like chicken, pork, and their signature Chicago gyro meat—a blend of lamb and beef—served in wraps, platters, or bowls with fresh sides such as their well-seasoned rice pilaf and crisp Greek salads. Those who enjoy traditional dishes will appreciate the rotisserie chicken options paired with lemony, rosemary-roasted potatoes or the layered comfort of moussaka and pastitsio, each accompanied by a simple Plaka salad.

The vibe is uncomplicated and friendly, with attentive staff who keep service prompt, helping the rhythm of the place feel familiar and easygoing. It caters well to both takeout orders and those who prefer dining in; the latter is ideal during weekdays or early evenings when the restaurant is calm but lively enough to avoid feeling too quiet.

Locals seem to trust Plaka Grill as a convenient go-to for flavorful Greek food that balances homestyle authenticity with accessible pricing. It’s a practical spot for anyone craving savory grilled meats, fresh dips like tzatziki, or dependable Mediterranean staples without the fuss of a formal dining experience. For visitors exploring the Vienna area, it offers a down-to-earth taste of Greek cuisine that leans into community roots and straightforward comfort.

Stopped on our way to Jersey, and glad we did! Absolutely delicious! We got the platter to start and every dip you could tell was homemade. We also got the bowls with chicken and gyro meat and it was delicious. The rice was perfectly seasoned and the tzatziki was amazing as well.

Best place in NOVA for a gyro. Maybe it's nostalgia glasses but I feel like it used to be better, in any case still the best option. I remember plaka being involved with the community and it's been a while since I've been back but this is still a Vienna staple. Recommended lunch spot if you're in the area.

Plaka Grill is solid. The gyros and grilled meats are flavorful, and portions are generous. The place is casual and clean, and the staff is friendly. Prices are fair for the quality. Easy spot for a quick, tasty meal. I’d go back.

The service was right on time, the staff was so friendly, and the portions were so generous. I got a bowl with greens, Chicago gyro meat, and a bunch of toppings. It's my absolute favorite!

First time eating inside- but have ordered numerous times throughout DoorDash/UberEats/takeout. Amazing customer service, amazing food, atmosphere! We will be back. Highly recommend this place, it is AS CLOSE as you can get to Greece and the Greek Islands.

Went here for work lunch with colleagues. The process is similar to fast-food chains. You need to order at the counter, find your own seat, and clean up after yourself. One thing I was surprised about the service was, the cashier delivered food to our table and exactly remembered who ordered which. There were quite a good number of guests in the restaurant since it was the peak hour for lunch, but the fact that they knew what I ordered was impressive. Food was ok - I had Plaka Gyro, which is a pita bread wrap that has pork and fries in it. The portion was good. I expected the meat to be tender and juicy, but it was actually crispy. Tzaziki sauce was great. Fries were crispy outside and tender inside. The atmosphere was ok. It was a cute, little restaurant, but had a big table to fit 6 of us. My only complaint was on sofa fountain. There were cracks at some valves and water leaked when I pressed it to get drinks. Of course my diet coke tasted like water because leaked water went into my cup. I would recommend it for a quick weekday lunch, but wouldnt go back for dinner or weekend lunch.

We recently worked with Nick from Plaka Grill to cater a large milestone birthday event, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. Our RSVP count kept changing right up until the day before, but Nick handled it all with calm professionalism and total flexibility. From the start, he guided me through selecting the perfect menu—appetizers, salad, and a full dinner—with options that beautifully accommodated both carnivores and vegetarians. His recommendations for quantity were spot-on. And the food was incredible. Guests raved about everything. The pastitsio and moussaka were huge hits, as were Peter’s salad, the meatballs, and all the dips with warm pita. The spread was hearty, flavorful, and had great variety. What truly set this experience apart, though, was Nick’s professionalism and personal service. He spent time on the phone with me on multiple occasions leading up to the event, walking me through details and putting me completely at ease. On the day of, he personally delivered everything, set it all up, and even provided burners to keep the food perfectly warm. His attention to detail was exceptional—he arranged the buffet so guests could self-serve smoothly and supplied all the plates and cutlery we needed. I can’t recommend Plaka Grill and Nick highly enough. They helped make our celebration unforgettable, and I would absolutely work with them again for any future event.
