★★★★★ 5.0 Ian MacDonald · Feb 2026

Loved our trek out to Plaka, at the urging of our IG food guide, Ertan. Some of the best moussaka you’ll ever have. Absolutely delicious. Their bread is warm and seemingly baked in house. Try the appetizer sampler w pita bread. The roasted red pepper with feta is on the salty side, but delic. The Greek family salad may been our favorite. Big chunks of ripe tomatoes, delicious whole Kalamata olives (careful of those pits), chunks of feta, onion. So good! And a light, but fantastic lemon cake for dessert. 5 star Greek cuisine in the shadows of LaGuardia.

Delicious Greek cuisine ! Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. Family owned restaurant. You feel as if you are eating at home. Excellent service. Owner Anna is very welcoming and treats everyone like family. Awesome experience will continue coming here with the family! Many dishes if you are vegan too.

Plaka is my local Greek restaurant where I've frequented the past 18 years. Their food is authentic and home style. Very tasty. Love the eggplant spread and the grilled chicken with lemon potatoes. Perfection! The gyro meat is great too!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ms DA Bacalso · Aug 2023

This restaurant is few blocks away from and it was my first time to dine in there. They don’t have special and not much dish selection. We ordered some drinks and they don’t have. They only have dry wine and Rossi. We ordered appetizers octopus and calamari to share. The octopus was so tender and not bad and the calamari was hard and little smells. My main course was fish too bland and not bad. Some of my folks ordered chicken and pork chopped and they enjoyed. One thing I love the most was the pita bread they serve before ordering or meals. It was hot and it was very good. And it was nice they gave us lemon cake as desserts and were good.
