About 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.

  • Compartmentalized Lunch Box Trays

    Compartmentalized trays feature gyros meat, chips, salad, warm pita, and dips for a neat meal.

    The idea of 'lunch boxes' are so cool, especially because the food is served in a tray!

Before you head over

Practical advice on portion sizing, order formats, and dietary options

  • Plan for Very Generous Platter Sizes

    The Greek sharing platters feature huge portions that easily stretch across more people than advertised, so consider sizing down or bringing extra company.

  • Opt for the Lunch Box for Easy Takeaway

    If you are ordering a quick takeaway lunch or are not sure what to choose, grab the compartmentalized lunch box tray packed with meats, salad, chips, and pita.

  • Coeliac and Gluten-Free Accommodating

    Staff can accommodate diners with coeliac disease and gluten-free needs effectively, letting you enjoy a safe meal alongside friends without feeling left out.
