" My husband and I popped in for a quick dinner after reading great things about Plaka. We were greeted warmly upon arrival, and our meals did not disappoint! I ordered the gyro platter, and he went for the lamb shank. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, truly reminiscent of our trip to Greece. The portions were ample and reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my recent visit. The food was delicious, especially the dolmas and tzatziki; however, the service was quite slow, which dampened our experience a bit. The restaurant was busy, and while I understand that, it took longer than expected to get our orders. The setting is charming and adds to the restaurant’s appeal. I might return, but I'll be cautious about timing my visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely experience at Plaka! The dishes are well-prepared and flavorful. The staff is efficient and friendly, although it got slightly busy during dinner time. But I was impressed overall with my visit, and I will highly recommend this lovely restaurant to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Plaka reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen. The stuffed grape leaves were made just right, and the moussaka transported me back to Greece! Ms. Anna is always welcoming, making me feel like family. I definitely plan to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Plaka last weekend, and we were absolutely blown away! Everything about this restaurant feels like home—from the cheerful staff to the authentic flavors. We ordered a variety of dishes: the eggplant dip, moussaka, and a mixed grill platter. Every bite reminded me of the food my yiayia made. The kids devoured the baklava for dessert, and the portions were sufficient for us to take some home. The ambiance is cheerful and welcoming. I highly recommended this gem of a restaurant to anyone craving genuine Greek food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a hidden gem! The grilled vegetables were incredible, and the pita bread with oil for dipping felt homey. I even managed to try the moussaka, which was the best I've had! The atmosphere is warm, and the service is friendly. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Plaka is absolutely fabulous! I love the decor; it feels like a slice of Greece right in Queens. The food has such rich flavors, especially the seafood dishes. I highly recommend the grilled sardines if they have them! Fantastic service, too—everybody was so nice to us. " (*Curated Review*)
