    Delicious and authentic Greek dishes. Lovely tzatziki. Great service, thanks Rachael!

    Grilled Octopus, lunch platter, and their amazing Sangria

    Every single time we pass through Plattsburgh we make it a point to come here! We love the great food, sit outside, sangrias, octopus, gyro...you name it, we love it every time. Wish we had you in our town!!

    Gyro platter entree
    Hairy S.

    This is $41 at Alekas. To be fair , the 2 pitas and 2 Tzatziki sauce cups are not pictured. No lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions which used to be included. the Tzatziki sauce was more like runny sour cream with garlic and no cucumber. The waitstaff was rude even though I left a larger than required tip for takeout to support them. Won't be doing that again. Alekas used to be a real good restaurant with really good food. I'm suspecting new management or owner? Maybe Bidenomics ? Either way I would have gotten a better gyro platter and way cheaper at any county fair and without the waitstaff's attitude. Not sure what happened inside but it was dark , in disarray and uninviting. I've been eating here with my coworkers for over 10 years. Disappointed, yeah. Will I recommend them, no. Will I go back, probably not. It's really sad after reading other reviews to see a Plattsburgh food staple fall from grace. (10 days and no response from owner says all you need to know)

    Apple pie Sangria. It sounds it would be sweet but was not. Very good!

    This place was hopping busy. We had spanakopita pie, fried calamari, & cheese pizza & added gyro meat. The pizza was amazing. The calamari was a little tough and chewy. The service was great in spite of how busy it was. Come & Enjoy!

    Greek fries!!! Delicious
    Renee H.

    We had delicious food. Our service was wonderful. We had a really great lunch today. Even the desserts were fantastic. The hummus really was splendid. Our favorite part was the Greek fries.

    The food was delicious, could have been 5 stars, but the food came very slow! Just for the 4 of us we had to wait almost for half an hour after we ordered our food, for that I subtracted a star.

After approaching a waiter, he mistakenly assumed we were part of a 14 person group. After about 15 minutes, he called us to that large table. We immediately questioned it and asked where our reserved table was. Only then did he realize his mistake and told us our table had already been given to someone else. We never sat down. There was no apology, no explanation, and no attempt to fix the situation. We were left standing in the middle of the restaurant with no guidance. The worst part was the bartender or server's behavior. She said that at some point we would be seated, but if we were not happy, we could come back another time. She said this smiling, with irony and disregard, as if delivering good news. She then went back to the bar smiling, ignoring us while repeatedly glancing at us, which felt dismissive and mocking. There was no manager present and no one took responsibility. No one explained what would happen next or showed any intention of correcting the mistake. We left and went to Peak 47, where we had the same prices, much better food, and truly professional service. The contrast could not have been clearer. Reservations clearly mean nothing here. Unprofessional staff, no accountability, and a complete lack of respect for customers. Avoid this restaurant.

It wasn't an ideal situation but it was our fault for not having an advance reservation since we just got into town when we stopped by. Pricing seemed higher than what we're accustomed to coming from nyc and Long Island but the food was good and portions were large. It's a very rustic feel inside with dim lighting.

    The Short Version: Popular shawarma place on Sainte…read moreCatherine Street. The beef shawarma was pretty good. The Long Version: My husband and I were chilling in our hotel when my husband had a hankering for some shawarma. He didn't want to go too far, and I encouraged him to try a new-to-us place, lol. So a quick search led him to Shawarmaz. Shawarmaz is a Canadian company that started 2013 in Montreal. It has several locations but they are all in the Greater Montreal Area. My husband got the beef shawarma in a pita $9.79. They have the option of getting your shawarma in Saj bread or a baguette and those options are more expensive. He got lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, turnips and onions. For his sauces he got hummus, spicy garlic and chipotle. He enjoyed the shawarma. I had a bite so I could review it (I also went with him so I could see the restaurant and take pictures) haha. I thought it was pretty good. They give you a decent amount of protein. And the beef was flavourful and not gristly. I was surprised that the wrap was not too spicy considering the sauces he chose. The decor is fast food restaurant-like. Service was good but it did take a while for the food, although it's likely because there was a pretty long line up. Review #205 (2025)

There was ample seating at the bar and as a single I sat down and the bartender was nice and cheerful. She helped me through the menu and I ended up with the fruits of the sea.. in an alfredo sauce.

The only thing I wish I did different was I ordered the lemon cheesecake.. it was very cold so it'd been stored in the fridge as a slice and it didn't seem to be the freshest but it was okay.

They have a parking lot which was helpful in the busy downtown area. We were fortunate enough to be able to get a table on their covered porch. It provided us with scenic views although it also brought us some bee friends who wanted our lunch too. The staff was attentive and efficient. I thought the food was okay. I had the Greek salad which was good and an order of fried calamari. The calamari and accompanying red sauce were both lukewarm which was disappointing. I did ask if the sauce could be warmed up but the second round, while warmer than the first, still seemed cooler than it should have been although it was probably the calamari that should have been hotter. My husband ordered the pulled pork mac and cheese which looked really delicious and he said it was as good as it looked. Overall Sarducci's is a solid option if you are looking for Italian food in Montpelier.
