About Us

About Plaka Grill...

In Greece, everyone’s favorite topic is food. It’s not unusual to plan the evening meal while eating lunch, or for that matter, planning the next day’s lunch while eating dinner. At Plaka Grill we want to share this passion for food with our customers.

All of our food, including our Gyro (pronounced Yeero) is prepared daily from the finest, freshest ingredients available. What makes Plaka Grill special is that we offer a fusion of the traditional and the modern Greek cuisine. You will find an assortment of the traditional Greek favorites as well as some more modern and interpretive culinary creations, but in all cases, the goal is to prepare all dishes using ingredients that are indigenous to Greece.

Plaka Grill is not another Greek/Italian/American restaurant - our identity is our commitment to authentic Greek food!

We want your dining experience to be enjoyable, so please let us know if there is anything we can do it make it better!
