Plaka Mediterranean Cuisine East Elmhurst Reviews
This place is a hidden gem happy that I was able to go and enjoy great food
Would be better with olive oil at table and fresh lemons, good pour of wine the glass was filled
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.
Very good service. Delicious and very home made food!!! 100% recommended
All around excellent food, service and atmosphere. My girlfriend and I really enjoy eating at this restaurant.
We love the staff, the food, everything! Delicious Greek food, 10/10. The staff is always so friendly and kind to us and to our toddler. It always feels like we’re dining at our friends house. Highly recommend this place!
Delicious food and excellent service. Can't wait to go back, but I live far. I look forward to going to Queens to eat here.
Plaka embodies what I love about New York. More often than not, you can drop in on a random neighborhood restaurant and have a meal that will knock your socks off. And, at a reasonable price, too. Waiting for a family member to arrive at LGA, I decided to eat dinner at a restaurant in a strip center near the airport. I chose Plaka and had the grilled chicken platter with grilled vegetables. It was great and can't be beat at $23.
Service was fast and friendly, food was delicious and you can tell it’s a family owned business ? Correct me if I’m wrong hehe But it was great and I would definitely be back again
This restaurant is a staple for my family and I in queens. The staff treat you like family & the food is always made with quality and care. It’s a convenient location and there is always parking too. The restaurant is modest & traditional. I would highly recommend.
We've been here many, many times (most recently Valentine's Day) and it's always a wonderful experience. The food, the atmosphere, the people (family owned and run and they make you feel like family) - everything is A+++++++++.
Very delicious food. We were really lucky that our accommodation was nearby, and we could come almost daily to eat there. Everything has an authentic greek taste. That greek salad, french fries and chicken grill was perfectionnn. We also tried gyros and chicken sandwiches, which were also great. Definitely recommend the place.
Here is my report card for Plaka. We came here with 6 adults and 4 children.. My daughter called them to reserve a space for us all. As soon as we got there we were seated in a comfortable area. REPORT CARD Environment :Clean , spacious , comfortable , lovely.. A+++++ Atmosphere:: Inviting ,friendly and relaxing A+++++ Meals : Totally delicious, and very plentiful Took some food home. A+++++ Service A++++=: Great ! Everyone was extremely helpful, friendly and efficient The entire staff , that we were in contact with , is marvelous A+++++ We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners of this restaurant . As soon as we met her , we realized why this place is so wonderful. She was very, very friendly and generous .. Her husband was really busy so we didn't get to meet him . We can't wait to come back here again.
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.
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.
I ordered a cheeseburger and fries yesterday. Fries were old and not fresh; the falafel had no flavor at all. very disappointed as this place used to be good. I will not be returning.
