103 Margaret Street, Plattsburgh, NY, 518-310-3200
As wonderful and varied as Vermont’s dining options are, sometimes I have to catch a ferry to get what I’m after. Plattsburgh is the closest place for me to get satisfactory Indian food — at Karma Indian Restaurant. Now I can add Aleka’s as the across-the-lake place to fill the Greek hole in my soul.
The food at this restaurant, which opened last fall, reminded me of what I grew up eating in the New York City suburbs, where practically every convenience store had a kick-ass gyro.
Everyone with whom I interacted at Aleka’s was exceptionally friendly. When I told my server that I’d seen a video online of the restaurant’s chef making saganaki, she went into the kitchen to see if the crew could do the same for me, even though the sometime special wasn’t on the menu that day.
