About

We started with a souvlaki skewer and a dream OPA! is a Greek word used to express happiness, and evokes the joy and celebration of feasting with family and friends. Since we opened our first location 20 years ago, everything we’ve done has been driven by the philosophy of OPA! The OPA! experience combines fresh Mediterranean cuisine with the friendly customer service we've become known for. We’re a quick-service Greek restaurant, but that just refers to the time it takes to serve our lovingly-made dishes. From the first bite, you’ll want to slow down and enjoy the moment with friends and family. We don’t just want you to love your meal; we want to have made a positive difference in your day.

Every time I come to this location the same gentleman and lady are working and they are both so friendly! Big smiles and great customer service go a long way and the food is always good! Keep it up! :)

I'm seeing all these bad reviews but I really don't see a reason why. Whenever I go to this Opa's I get pretty good service, the food is delicious (as usual with Opa's) the restaurant is clean and in a pretty good location.

I visited the establishment for lunch today and encountered an issue with the food preparation. Despite having previously ordered the same meal three times and requesting specific modifications, the staff member refused to accommodate my preferences. This lack of customer service was disappointing and unacceptable.

Inflation makes the portion size smaller? I'd rather pay a bit more and get a proper portion size of just the meat instead of getting less without knowing I would receive half of what I received I'm the past. Maybe it's the new cook? Idk Won't be returning when I cam spend the same price for more meat elsewhere.

I had opa before but in red deer , this is my second time and I swear this platter is full of salt . The Mega Platter is a joke , I’m still lost at what is $21. Rice salt , chicken and beef salt, potato uncooked and bread saltyyy as hell .I didn’t get salad but I asked for extra rice . Tzatziki sauce taste sour. Very disappointed ! Due to the high amount of salt in the food, I had to take it back. I tried to make it work but my blood pressure is high from all the salt I just endured. Massive headache! You want Greek food go to Paros on Main.

Awful OPA this is 3 strikes before writing this...Do Not Go here! Never do what as asked.. ALWAYS stingy on the toppings...have to insist on extra every single time..just to get a regular amount that other stores provide...and get eye rolls rude looks and huffing... Never put hardly any seasoning on calamari...seems like just a bunch of owners trying to charge a lot and cut back on everything...the calamari tonight hardly had any coating on it, no seasoning and the wrap only had 3 pieces of lettuce and a single dab of sauce on the end...dry chicken... Boo boo boo 👎

I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS LOCATION. THE STAFFS ARE RUDE AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE CUSTOMERS. I purchased pita wrap with fries and calamari. When I got home, the fries are not crispy and seems like it was not properly cooked. The calamari was bland and I can tell by the color that there was no seasoning put on it. I was so disappointed because I always order calamari from this location and this is the first time that I was not satisfied. I called the store to let them know and a lady manager named Raman spoke with me, told her what happened but she insisted that there was seasoning put on the calamari, it could have been less and advise me that if I were to order next time, mention that I want extra seasoning. I never mention to put extra seasoning everytime I order and I never had any issues before. Then, upon hearing of my disappointment, she offered to replace the calamari, however, it was worse because I was not able to eat it because it was extremely salty. It just went to the trash. I think she purposely put too much seasoning on it. I took photos of the calamari and by just looking at the color, you can tell the difference.

Just be aware, even though Airdrie does not have a single-use bylaw in place like Calgary does, this location of Opa is charging 25 cents for a bag. Id say that is taking advantage of the customer.

I came at this location 12:15 pm and I gave the Order chicken platter with extra meat lamb. I requested to girl for give me fresh meat but she gave me cold meat and it was not fresh. I will never come on this location.

I usually go to this opa even if I am closer to the one by Walmart.. The previous staff have been awesome. My daughter and I order a pita wrap meal and I always get half fries and half Greek salad. Today I went in and there was absolutely no other customers. I asked for the same request and was told no they cannot do this anymore. I was shocked. I asked why and said that I always come here. The girl was quite rude. I walked out and said I would not be back. With the cost of food and being that I was willing to give them money for my favorite meal totally unjustified.

I paid extra money for rice but I asked her for several times she didn t put more rice I will never back to this location

We are regulars at this location and always order the Greek salad with a chicken skewer - which shows on the menu as coming with a pita. We got the salad and skewer with no pita and when I asked where it was, the lady told me I asked for salad and chicken skewer and not a pita. I told her again that I ordered what was on the menu and she said that s not what I asked for. I then said I wanted a pita so we were charged an additional $2 for the pita. I was very disappointed that I had to ask Multiple times and was continually told that I didn t ask for one, even though on the menu it shows the dinner with a pita. Very poor customer service.

The worst meal we have ever had. Went in at 4pm today, not busy. Lamb under cooked, falafel was dropped on the floor. The calamari was undercooked and dangerous. This was disgusting and disgraceful. I will NEVER eat at an Opa again

After an evening photoshoot with no dinner we decided we wanted wendys. This wendys location in this strip mall was on our way to fuel up so we stopped in. Had my heart set on peppermint frosties but nope a US thing only. Used a coupon for 2 Daves si goes fries and drinks and upgraded to doubles and also added 2 junior bacon cheese. The pop mixing machine has some new flavours I have not seen. All was good but one of the fryers or some machine was beeping for 5mins and was quite annoying. Otherwise great service and friendly staff.

Kids food was great, however my calamari had an unwanted black hair in it. Kid-friendliness: Lots of food for great kids pricing

Showed up at 8:40 to be told it s a holiday and they are closed early. Yet Google says 10pm closing. There are no holidays on December 7 your workers just don t want to work.

Its a hit or miss when it comes to calamari orders. Sometimes calamari portions are decent, sometimes too little and not worth the price! I always order extra tzatziki but today I wont even be using the extra because I only got a few calamari pieces. So stingy!

Very disappointed with this location, the staff isn t very friendly one of the person on duty rolled her eyes when I walked in, the portions are way too small for the price.

December 21, 2021

I pre ordered food and paid for it online, when it came to picking it up I got told there was no order, but I was at the right place. The girl working was quite rude and argued with me about the order. I showed her my phone with everything on it, she found it eventually. I understand things happen and errors happen but I dont appreciate the attitude and having to argue about it.

December 21, 2021

We tried calling ahead of time so we could order something before they close but they never answered either call. If you don t wanna serve customers till your posted closing time then post an earlier closing time.

Lady at counter was hard to understand as she spoke quickly; soft spoken with accent. Lettuce was wilted and looked pretty close to becoming rotten. Bought Shrimp Rice bowl with overcook shrimp that was not tasty. Also a chicken Pita Wrap where the chicken tasted funny/maybe partially cooked (for my pregnant wife!). Kids Chicken Souvlaki was missing a juice box which I also paid deposit for (order was taken to go). Didnt bother feeding my child the Chicken as my wifes Chicken pita wrap tasted off. I am very disappointed with this experience at this location. Deerfoot City Mall was WAY BETTER!

Went here not long after they opened and ordered calamari and salad like usual and they deep fried a bag/portion of calamari as usual and when they went to put it into my container they didnt put everything in! As the staff was putting my container in a plastic bag, I saw the stainless bowl was still half-filled with calamari! When I checked my order inside the car, there were a few pieces of calamari and fried clumped flour. Wasnt worth the money I paid!! The one in Sierra springs never does that. Personally I wouldnt go to this location on veterans again. 3/4 salad and a 1/4 calamari. Very disappointed!
