Sam and Joanne Gogos and their son Telly have owned, managed, and cooked for The Plaka, a Buffalo-area landmark, since 1993. It’s a labor of love that shows in every detail, from the old-school charm to the authentic Greek fare and the friendly staff to the loyal customers.
We’re proud of our food, but we’re even more proud of the Greek hospitality our visitors have come to know and love with every interaction.
