    Small place but really good. The plaka gyro will change your life and the Chicago gyro is pretty good too. They have a beer and wine selection also if you want grownup beverages with your meal.

    Had the pork gyro today on the recommendation of the dude behind the counter. It was okay. Not nearly as good as the "Chicago style" (which I also got). Both to go. I'm sticking with the Chicago.

    Have a group? Get the mezze sampler! All the dips are good (LOVE the caviar one) and the spanikopita is huge! My go to items are the lamb kapana and bifteki.

    The warm pita holds spit-grilled pork and is finished with a handful of crispy French fries. Dips such as kalamata-olive tapenade and tyrokafteri make nice shares with lightly griddled pita.

    The avgolemeno soup is insane. Every age of our family loves it -- it's savory, lemony, yummy. We also like the gyro meat salads.

    I went to Greece this summer and Plaka has seriously authentic gyros and other Greek food. Closest thing I have had to being in Athens!

    Going gluten free? Try the Lamb Kapama only with roasted potatoes instead of pasta. Delicious!

    I know everyone should come here for the Gyros but their quarter chicken with two sides is king. So good.

    The mixed grill is excellent, but be warned, they give you about a pound of meat, so I hope you're hungry!

    Just ordered fries. Something about the salt and the oil makes them wonderful. The salads are pretty good too.
