Amazing place! Warm hospitality of a family owned business. Generous portions. The fun begins with the decor and keeps going with the flaming cheese. Opa!
This place has closed since this review. So sad. It was very special.
The portions are huge. Better yet they were good. There were 5 in our party all the orders were very good.
If you like Greek food you will love Opa's. If you have never tried it, this is the place to start.
The big screens are showing scenes of Greece. The food and atmosphere make you want to visit Greece.
All at a very reasonable price.
I went in today around 3 in the afternoon and seems like they were in between rushes. The server was polite and gave me adequate time to peruse the menu. She brought over a complementary platter of humus, cucumbers seasoned with pepper and bleu cheese dip. The service was good and it rotated between her and the owner asking me if everything was to my liking. I ordered the gyro platter and the calamari appetizer. The calamari was nice and tender with fairly good seasoning throughout and the breading was crispy. I doubt they were frozen otherwise they would be chewy and rough. They however were a bit greasier than I like but that didn't affect the taste at all. Just after i finished them you could see there was quite a bit of grease on the plate. This could be rectified with how the cooks prepare it in the future. My main dish was great, the meat was tender and well seasoned, all the veggies in the salad were fresh, crip and tender. The rice was nice and fluffy but could of used more seasoning. Overall a pleasurable dining experience with good prices. I docked one star for the greasy calamari and the semi-bland rice. Will visit again.
While I do agree the service wasn't the best, I don't think it was a big deal (at least to the point where it significantly diminished my dining experience). The food I had definitely outweighed any mediocre service we received. For one, the variety on the menu is really good with a lot of authentic Greek option as well as Americanized Greek options, as well as lots of vegetarian and gluten-free options, if that floats your boat. I had the vegetarian moussaka, which was very tasty with every bite being unique. It also came with a good helping of salad and rice, that made the size of the meal as a whole very good. The prices were about average, but pretty fair. While the service at Opa could certainly be better, the food outweighs any other downsides of the restaurant
My wife and I had lunch at Opa's yesterday. Wonderful gyro platter and Greek salad. The pita and hummus they offer (free) when you're seated was very tasty. The prices were reasonable and the portions very nice. The waiter was very attentive and kept the drinks full and checked to see if we were happy. We will go again soon and recommend this little slice of the Mediterranean right here in Tucson!
