Plaka Grill

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.

I come here often for lunch. Great food and service. Highly recommend. The gyro bowl is my go too.

This place is a must try when in Vienna. They’re probably the only place that has an authentic greek style pork gyro which is delicious. This time around I tried the Chicago style which is a traditional lamb/beef gyro. Got it “plaka style” with fries inside, fries looked and tasted hand-cut. Easily the best gyro spot in the area and maybe outside of the area too. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
