    Fried shrimp and scallops
    Jimmie P.

    This place getting crowded and in this case that's a good sign of good food. Once seated the waitress came over quickly to take drink orders. The ambiance is chill. The spot isn't that big so it can get a little crowded and loud during peak hours. Food, some excellent choices: Diablo oysters Blind Pelican oysters Chorizo Lobster Dip Fried shrimp and scallops Everything was hot and fresh. Cool stuff and I plan to come back.

    tl;dr: A wide variety of Greek food available in a sit-down restaurant or to grab-and-go. I had meaning to try Plaka Grill for a while after trying other Mediterranean and Greek restaurants in the area (think: Big Greek Cafe). When I found Plaka Grill, I decided that I wanted to try something a little more traditional so I could compare. I decided to dine in and so I ordered an appetizer, the zucchini fritters. They were tasty, but I was a little surprised at how much they cost for how many you get. I tried their Plaka gyro which comes with marinated pork, fries, tomato, onions, and their tzatziki sauce. I also ordered the Plaka platter which is basically the same thing, just not wrapped up in a pita. The meat was flavorful, although I wish the platter came with a sauce. One of my favorites about this place? They have fountain Coke Zero! I know, a weird thing to get excited about, but not a lot of places offer it. Fun fact: Author David Baldacci comes here so much he has a little plaque mounted above a table in the back. Parking: There's plenty right in front of the restaurant.

    Plaka Grill is a nice deli type restaurant, Just a quick stop on the way home. I was in the mood for a gyro and this spot satisfied my hunger. I was planning to take it home, but ended up sitting down and eating right there. Everything came out fast, hot and taste. I would come back again.

    Dining area is open, clean and pretty straightforward. Tables were a little sticky. Nice local place in Vienna. Steady stream of people coming in to place orders at 8 pm 1 hour until close. The food. We ordered a Chicago gyro wrap that comes with fries in the wrap and a Plaka Gyro wrap, both as combos. $40 with tip

    I stopped here for an evening snack and it was worth the stop. Cute little place that was decently busy with customers dining in and coming to pick up to go orders. The staff was pretty friendly. The dining area was clean and had ample seating for the size. It didn't feel crowded at all despite the number of people there. You order at the counter and food is brought to the table fairly quickly. There is a refrigerator with drinks and options for fountain drinks as well. I ordered the calamari after reading reviews about the flavor and crispiness. My calamari had a good flavor but wasn't as crispy as I expected after reading some reviews. It came with garlic aioli which I didn't care for too much and I wish I would've thought to get a different dipping sauce. I also ordered hummus which came with pita. The hummus was excellently flavored with lemon and garlic. The pita was soft on the inside and a little toasty on the outside; just how I like it. When I went up to the counter to ask for to go containers, I noticed the baklava which I hadn't paid attention to when I first walked in. I asked the lady at the counter if it was made in house and she said it is. So I purchased a slice to eat later. It wasn't my favorite because it had too strong of a clove flavor for me but they'd just preference, I'm sure. For an evening snack I'd say this hit the spot. I had plenty left over that I could air fry the calamari the next day and still had 1/2 my hummus and pita. So it made a great lunch!

    This place is good but nothing really stood out... I don't think I would come back. Only cause I want to find other similar types of restaurants. I got the chicken plate and I wish it came with veggies, it had a salad and that was good. Chicken was dry. Potato's weren't edible, they were sour.

The rum cocktail was a bit bitter and we were not able to drink so we ordered the cucumber drink instead. For our entrees we ordered the Paidakia which was lamb chops with asparagus and potatoes. We also ordered Arni Youvetsi which was the lamb shank braised with wine tomato sauce over orzo. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection as I ordered them medium well. The asparagus and potatoes were well seasoned and very tender and flavorful. The lamb shank was delicious as the meat fell off the bone. It was both very tender and flavorful. The orzo was cooked to perfection and the wine sauce complemented the lamb shank quite well. Overall, it was a great experience. I always enjoy Greek food and Nostos was no exception. I will return soon to try some other entrees. If you are in the area, I recommend stopping by. Cheers!

I really enjoyed my meal! The preparation of the fish was perfect. The skin was crispy, lightly seasoned just like in Greece. It's the closest thing to Greek food I've had here, at least in regards to the dish. The lamb shank was alright aromas and flavor could've been a little stronger for the red sauce. I was also happy that none of the seafood had a fishy taste to it. They also deboned the branzino. The fish also had a lot of meat so I felt as though I got my moneys worth. As for the grilled octopus it was a little tough in the fatty areas, but overall the flavor and quality was great! The feta psiti was so so, I had it in Greece and it wasn't even close. The dough was a square and it wasn't flaky and delicious like I had. We ordered: Apps Grilled octopus 9/10 Feta Psiti 6/10 Imported Branzino 10/10 Lamb shank over orzo 8/10 Overall, I'd come back 100%.

This is the 2nd location I have been to and so far this one is my favorite. Parking is a little wonky as the town gets pretty busy during prime dining hours. You can find street parking if you're patient. All in all, I wish I lived closer so I could enjoy this super-delicious and authentic, greek food all the time.

That small bit of communication would have made the experience even better. Overall, this is still a great restaurant with delicious food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Just keep in mind that the kitchen may close earlier than you expect, so if you're thinking about dessert or another course, order it before the kitchen shuts down.
