Reviews for Plaka Greek Taverna in Calgary, AB

I came here for lunch with my family the other day and we were blown away by how amazing the food was. The calamari was so... crispy, the souvlakis and salad were delicious, and the salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly. We also tried the fried icecream, it was a lot bigger than we expected so definitely a great value for the price. The server was also very nice to us andshe seemed like she was the only worker while we were there as well, she did an amazing job. We?ll definitely be back to try thedinner menu Read more

The food was plentyfull and delicious. The atmosphere enjoyable and our waitresses was top notch.

This place is a gem! While I?ve always had great food here, I?d forgotten how absolutely incredible their calamari salad is! ... The calamari is perfect and it?s all so fresh. Just enjoyed it again tonight. It?s wonderful on a hot summer evening? oranytime at all!! Read more

My husband and I ate at Plaka this evening and had an absolutely phenomenal time. The owner, Ana, was so friendly and the food... was some of the best Greek food we?ve ever had (and we?ve had lots!). We ordered the dinner platter for two and it wasincredible. The potato was on the side so you don?t see it in my photo. Extremely generous portions, phenomenal food, greatprices, huge free parking lot, wonderful ambiance, and super friendly owners. What else could anyone want? Read more

Took the family out to have a celebratory dinner for two graduates. The atmosphere was definitely Greek, the food was wonderful... and fresh. The house wine was fresh and crisp. The service was lovely and we never felt bothered. We had a perfect experience. Ihope more people will take the time to visit and enjoy the food. Thank you to the lovely owner and her son Luca for a wonderfulevening. We decimated the delicious dessert. Read more

Nestled in a tiny corner of a strip mall next to Deer Ridge in the SE is @plakagreek . Greek food that is as fresh as it is... delicious. We have been many times and I always forget to post because it?s that good. We started off with saganaki (friedcheese) which is served to your table and lit on fire while everyone around you ooh?s and aah?s. Showy? Sure. Delicious?DEFINITELY. Crispy outside with melted gooey goodness in the center. Slice it up and put on their pita bread that?s lightlycoated in olive oil and herbs. So. Damn. Good. Calamari was our other starter and they do calamari better than most. Lightlybreaded cooked to perfection with a tzaztiki that is so refreshing it feels like you?re sitting beach side. Nothing worse thancalamari that is overdone, chewy and coated in enough breading to mask what little calamari may be inside. Plaka nails iteverytime. Next was our wraps. I had the lamb, wife and daughter had the chicken. Lamb requires very little seasoning becausegood lamb should shine on its own so I like when it?s not over seasoned. Plaka gets this and does it really well. Chicken doesrequire a flavor boost in my opinion and this was seasoned really well to give the wrap a burst of flavor without taking awayfrom all the other fresh ingredients. Each came with a Greek salad. Olive oil, herbs, lots of feta crumble and fresh tomatoes,red onion, cucumber and lettuce. Perfect. Now not only do you get delicious food, but also attentive, appreciative and friendlystaff. This is a hidden gem run by some fantastic people so bring yer full wallets and yer empty gullets and have some greatgrub while supporting another fantastic small business. Read more
