Platía Greek Kitchen - Greek restaurant in Syosset - 4 Berry Hill Rd, USA

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Excellent drinks, good food and fantastic service. Our only criticism was that the place was decorated nice enough, however lacked warmth. It was way too bright. I felt like I was inside a tent instead of a restaurant with a cool vibe. Our server was Maria was amazing! A real Rock Star! She was personable, helpful, excellent at her job and her positive energy was contagious! She definitely enhanced our dining experience and gave great recommendations. When we arrived, Nick greeted us with a fantastic smile.....when we left we were excited to share some positive feedback with the owner. However, he had no personality and could possibly care less. I am not sure if we will return. There are plenty of other options.

I went here today for lunch. I genuinely love Greek food and the Greek culture, so I was extremely excited to check out this place. When I walked in I wasn’t greeted welcomely. Instead I was rudely asked what I needed by a man watching tv and eating pasta? He was not welcoming at all and if I owned a business I would not want that person representing my business and greeting my customers… A different person took my order. I wish I got his name but he was equally in a bad mood, as the man eating pasta. I felt very uncomfortable being a women surrounded by two men who were extremely hostile… I was unsure what to order because it was my first time there and instead of my waiter helping me he just insisted that I read the menu, without recommending anything. At this point I was ready to walk out but I was starving and had to return to work. Once I got my food and paid my bill, I left. No one said bye or thanks for coming, instead they both continued to watch television and neglect a customer. I am a local food critic and food blogger on social media, this restaurant will NOT receive any free promotion from me due to the experience I had. Additionally the pita bread that I ordered was burnt, has lettuce on it and was non edibles. I threw my entire order away. I wasted a total of $40 and that included a tip. I wish this business the best and I hope your staff gets more training.

The food tasted good but we ordered yeeros and we thought they were going to be sandwiches cause we wanted something small, but it was a platter and a lot of food. They give you a lot of food. Service was good but we also ate at like 3 in the afternoon so we were only the people inside.

This is a difficult one to write . Needing a soft dinner after having some dental work , I stopped here for the first time on Friday , 1/12/24 at about 4:30 PM , after having passed Platia countless times . Parking without stepping on gum was a task , but on my third try , I found a spot . I hoped to see Moustaka on the menu , and did....and it was delicious . The music was light , the bathroom small but immaculate , seating inconvenient ( I was not given a choice ) but comfortable ....... So what could I complain about ? The manager / greeter was stonefaced , not at all pleasant . Employees were lined up against a wall facing me ( one seemed intrigued by my boots ; they talked loudly ) ; a little privacy would have been welcome . No bread was served until I asked for it ( but the soft pita was delicious ) . ....... Finally , upon leaving , not one word of thanks from management or any employee ( and I tip well ) . Great food , an attentive busboy , but a strange , uncomfortable experience . As I often pass by in warm weather enroute to Sagamore Hill or The Planting Fields , I might stop by again , but when it comes to restaurants , Two Strikes , you're out !

Felt like I was in a scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding and I loved it!! Food was great, staff super nice and they even have live music on Sundays! Great family restaurant. I'm glad we found this place

Went to Platia for the first time today for a belated Valentine's dinner. This place is now one of my favorite restaurants. As far as covid protocols, all the staff were wearing masks and the tables were spread out 6 feet apart. I went on a Monday night without a reservation and we had no issue getting seated. For appetizers we got the Saganaki and the Zucchini and Eggplant chips. We devoured them. For the main we ordered the chicken souvlaki platter. It was HUGE. The portions were so generous. We took a lot of leftovers home! Everything was delicious and authentic. The ambiance and atmosphere was amazing. Greek music was played and lots of beautiful artworks of Greece on the walls. Made you feel like you were in Greece.

We stopped in here for lunch and had some major time constraints. We let them know and they were completely accommodating! The lentil soup and hummus was so quick and perfect for our light lunch. Delicious! The interior is quite beautiful and tastefully decorated! A wonderful place to eat!

Tonight my wife and I decided to go “local,” for Greek food. We’ve been to this restaurant before and it was ok so we decided to go back. That was mistake # 1. We were seated within 5 minutes of our reservation which was a positive sign, and then we had to wait 20 minutes for a server to come by, (yes they appear to be understaffed.) the server comes over and asks are you ready to order, didn’t think about asking if we wanted a drink or if there were any specials etc. Things were not off to a rousing start. We were able to order a bottle of wine and the same time find out what the specials were as well. When he came back with the wine we knew that we better order our dinner as well, if not who knew when the server would return. For appetizers we ordered saganaki, and KOLOKITHOKEFTEDES which are zucchini fritters served with tazatziki, and for entrees a whole Lavraki and sautéed soft shell crabs. Both mains came with Greek potatoes and sautéed spinach. They brought out the fritters and to our dismay they were probably cooked with other orders many hours earlier and kept under heat to keep warm, bottom line very dried out. Now we were wondering if they forgot the saganaki altogether, 20 minutes later it showed up, lukewarm and the cheese had already hardened again. We were on a proverbial roll. Next came the Lavraki and even though the head was burnt to a crisp the fish was delicious in a lemon caper sauce. It was a 4.5 out of 5. The sautéed soft shell crabs were nothing to applaud about, they were ok as in average. We decided to share a baklava for desert which was on the dry side. Bottom line for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, desert and a bottle of Greek wine for $170.00 you’re better off going to Astoria, NY or NYC for the same price and a better meal. Let me add that they couldn’t even change the utensils between courses. My rating of 3 is extremely kind and generous and probably based on our first visit when we had much better service.
