    What is Worth Choosing

    For anyone in the Manhasset Hills area looking to experience the best of The Tasty Plate, the menu offers several truly worthwhile choices that capture the essence of their Greek fare and local appeal.

    First and foremost, the Pita Sandwiches are the heart of this establishment. Choosing between the Gyro Lamb & Beef or the Souvlaki Chicken, both priced at an affordable $9.00, is a perfect introduction. These are quick, comforting, and perfectly seasoned meals that reflect true Greek street food tradition. Be mindful of food safety, as there was a customer report of an issue with a chicken item; however, overwhelmingly positive reviews point to their commitment to fresh, quality food and a good experience.

    A must-add to any order is one of the homemade dips. The Tzatziki Dip Large ($5.00) is the essential, cooling accompaniment to any meat dish, made with fresh yogurt, cucumber, and garlic. Pair this with an order of French Fries W/ Yellow Sauce ($4.00), which adds a flavorful, savory element you won’t find just anywhere.

Finally, if you are planning a meal in advance, taking advantage of the "Special for today" menu, such as the Greek Pastitsio or the Spinach Pie ($7.00), allows you to enjoy classic, home-style Greek specialties that require more time and care than typical quick-service items, providing a deeper taste of the Mediterranean. The casual, efficient service and easy accessibility make The Tasty Plate a great daily option for authentic and satisfying Greek comfort food.
