Aleka’s

While on a business trip to Plattsburgh it was suggested that I stop in to this establishment. My husband and I sat at the bar. The wine pours are generous — great selection. My husband and I shared the antipasta salad along with the cheese and pepperoni pizza. The salad was piled high with meats, feta cheese, pepperoncino, tuna, tomatoes and olives — enough for four people! The pizza sauce was great — the crust even better! Definitely stop in and give this place a try!

Service was excellent and fast. The Food was way better than expected for up here, usually restaurants here are a poor substitute for long island/​nyc area… But this place i highly recommend… Great prices too

First time visit. Very pleased with the selection of Greek dishes. Ordered the gyro with fries and the falafel salad. The gyro was packed with meat and the fries were plentiful. The falafel salad was a fresh variety of everything greek. *I would have to say this is the restaurants best bet.* The little bit of everything on the plate was fresh and full of flavor. Served with flat bread and garlicky taziki. Squeezed in some shared baklava for desert. The baklava was just ok but being served warm was really nice. Can’t wait to come back everytime we visit our college student!

For Plattsburgh, this is excellent. The greek salad with gyro meat is excellent. The spanicopta is excellent.

This is a mixed review. I have been eating at this owner’s Greek restaurants for years. This is the third incarnation. His food is very good as long as he is overseeing it, but often spins out of control when he isn’t there. Whenever I have had a bad meal in his absence, and told him about it, he has taken care of me. When they are on their game, the food is 5 stars. However, the wait staff is rarely better than 3. If you are sitting at the bar ordering drinks, you get lots of attention. If you look like a high roller, you get attention. If you are the average Joe and family, you get ignored; even when it is not busy.
On my last visit, my wife, a friend and I were seated just outside the kitchen where the waitress had to walk around us to get to the rest of the restaurant. We got menus, but it took forever for her to come and take our order. Two tables who were seated after us had their orders taken before us. Once we ordered, most of the food came out in reasonable time. The olives and feta never made it and the waitress never came back to check on any table the dining room until we were almost done. She never asked about drink refills. We had to grab someone else that came out of the kitchen to get those. We didn’t bother with the olives and feta. We sat for at least 15 minutes after finishing before she came to ask about dessert or the check. I had to leave before the check came, but my wife said that the olives and feta never made it to the order.
The food we got was very good, although not timely. I will go back. It is the only Greek place in town, and I like Greek food. I will recommend it with a caution. Be prepared for slow service.

Don’t come on your lunch hour. I have eaten here twice. First time, the pizza was very good, but the service a little slow. Thought I would give it a second chance and stopped in on a Monday for lunch. An hour and a half for a chicken sandwich (very good), served with barely warm– enough rice. Service was inattentive, had to flag down a server to get a beverage. Will probably not be back.

Excellent Greek food! We have eaten a lot of Greek at a lot of great Greek restaurants and this definitely held its own. We had a gyro and fries and Greek salad with gyro meat. The salad was very fresh and gigantic :) and the gyro was awesome with nice crispy fries, just how we happen to like them.
The servers were very friendly but seemed overworked. A full restaurant with only two waitresses and one pulling double duty as bartender also. The time it took didn’t bother us this evening though, we were not in a rush. Try it out and you will definitely get an excellent meal though!

Delicious. We tried the Greek Salad and Dolmas (which I thought was only written like Dolmades and Dolmathakia but I guess I’m wrong) which were fresh and delicious. I’ve been to Greece and several Greek restaurants and I can testify that these were pretty good.
I ordered the Greek Burger expecting an actual burger but I received a gyro. It worked though, it had the meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach which were absolutely great. It came with fries that were okay, not my favorite but not bad either.
Staff was friendly and environment was good too. The bathroom was clean and so was the restaurant. Great, would come again !

Loved the food. Somehow they managed unique and super fresh salads in January in Plattsburgh. Staff was great. Very enjoyable.

Love this place some of the best geek food ive ever had. The service was great and the management make you feel like family. Definitely worth the stop in you are in the area.

Two stars because the food is actually good. Management of the place is awful. Have been in several times in the past 3 months and have had awful service, but no fault of the servers — the latest was calling in an order on a Friday night, food was ready but then waited almost 20 minutes while the server tried to get change for me (I just needed $ 5 back), asking all staff if they had cash, seating people, getting people drinks, etc. I eventually left and had to come back with a debit card because there was NO CHANGE on a Friday night and I’d been waiting with my food in hand for 20 minutes while the servers ran around. Not the servers’ fault; no manager on duty. All of my complaints have to do with the servers busting to make do with what seems like a poorly managed place.

Awful! Worst Greek food I’ve ever had. Not sure that they are really Greeks cooking. On the upside, Nice people and good service. My advice — Skip it.

The food was excellent. A definite improvement to the area restaurant scene. Everything looked and tasted fresh. The service is a bit on the slow side so plan for extra time (even with the takeout) and the wait staff was a bit inexperienced but still polite and professional.

Good food, somewhat inconsistent flavors, but good for the area. You won’t get out of here quickly, so relax and enjoy the food

Not bad.
Caveat: I grew up in Queens and lived on Long Island for several years — home of insanely good Greek, Mediterranean and Italian food. So, this review is from the perspective of a big-​time Greek-​food snob.
It seems that this place recently opened up — perhaps a new identity from one of the other existing Greek places in town? Not sure of the story… but they’re definitely trying to cater to the college crowd with variety: Greek, Italian, burgers and wings (makes sense).
The atmosphere is a little weird — just feels like a recently renovated bar or pizza place. The décor is minimalist and it gets loud in there when just a couple of tables are full.
OK — the food:
Everything seemed fresh — the greek salad was generous but the feta cheese is served as one large block (as opposed to crumbled feta… just a personal preference). The grape leaves are quite good and the pita served with the appetizer (of an interesting dip) is served hot.
The chicken kabob is very good — moist, not over-​seasoned but still flavorful.
The wait staff needs some refining… one of the girls was obviously sick and coughing all over the place. That said, they were still friendly and accommodating.
I’ll probably give this place another shot next time I’m in town.
