Book NowAbout Plaka Gyros
Plaka Gyros serves hearty Greek street food tucked right beside Glenferrie Road’s Lido Cinemas. Glenferrie regulars know the drill when post-movie hunger hits. No gimmicks here—just warm pita stuffed with charred, juicy chicken or lamb, balanced by cool tzatziki and crunchy seasoned chips. If you want a full midday spread without the fuss, their compartmentalized lunch box trays package grilled gyro meat, chips, pita, and salad into one neat takeaway kit. For bigger tables, the platters stack tender spit-roasted meats alongside grilled halloumi and calamari, while in-the-know diners ask for the skepasti—meat and cheese sandwiched between toasted pita rounds.
- Balanced Gyro Wraps: Warm pita wrapped tight with seasoned chicken or lamb, cool tzatziki, and crunchy, well-seasoned chips.
- Custom Lunch Trays: Compartmentalized trays packed with grilled meat, chips, salad, and warm pita for effortless takeaway.
- Generous Sharing Feasts: Heaped meat platters, grilled halloumi, and crisp calamari built for groups where no one leaves hungry.
