2424 Fairway Plaza Rd S Unit 1, Lethbridge, AB T1K 6Z3, Canada
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.
Too bad you use SKIP! I wonder if you know how much more we who use SKIP get charged, on your food, and hidden fees we have to pay behind the scenes for unacceptable food presentation and taste, as well as lack of quality control. The first time I ordered, I thought the food was well presented and fresh. Today...OMG...even with $10 off and the hidden fees and upcharges, I get a stick with less than what I would call beef.( regrettably called souvlaki) when it looked like 4 dry burnt toenails on a stick. I couldn't even bite into it. Wasted. 4 little perfectly uniform "filafel" lol with a token overcooked French fey in the bag. Maybe time to clean the fryer and FYI those Filfel nuggets cost me $5,19 for 4. No pride in this establishment at all.Also a terribly stale and old tasting famous Greek potato? Yikes. Paid a lot of money for the rest of the meal too. A bunch of rice thrown in containers with a bit of onions, tomatoes and chick peas. SKIP gave me a teeny little refund for this terrible display of pride in taste and service, which OPA did NOT provide. Also took 45 minutes to arrive??? Don't offer me free stuff!!! I'll never eat your food again
I love Opa! and eat here as often as I can afford. Because I'm so price conscious, I notice when I'm being charged more than I should for my food. It's only an extra 50 cents today, but in the current economy, that WILL make the difference for some people. Please update your menu to reflect the true cost of your food. (And yes, this extra is a before-tax charge.)
It's a chain so you know what you're getting, but the staff were great at both helping me navigate some creative new menu items that were advertised but not well laid out on the menu, as well as enduring my walking away to entertain my child while preparing, getting my attention to ask questions about my preferences for toppings. The washrooms were clean & bright too.
I had a fantastic experience at OPA in Lethbridge! The menu features a wonderful selection of Greek dishes, and everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The Souvlaki was perfectly grilled, and the tzatziki sauce was a standout. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant itself was clean and nicely decorated, adding to the overall vibe. Whether you’re craving a quick bite or a sit-down meal, OPA is a great choice. I can’t wait to return!
September 7 7pm If you enjoy being served by angry teenagers, this is the place they had no problem making me feel like I was being a burden ordering food there I do not recommend this location will not go back
Greek salad came with a grand total of 3 olives. When I asked for more, the employee counted them out and made me pay for each individual olive. Not friendly at all. Ordered takeout, and was asked to pay extra for a bag, which is like ordering a car and being asked to pay extra for the wheels. Disappointing to see such poor customer service when the food was quite good.
I had the beef wrap and the beef was poor quality. I could not chew all the beef. Pay too much for poor quality. I would rather pay another buck and get some better meat.
Opa is one of my favourites overall! This location is great, always clean, the service is friendly and quick. Last time I went I got my go to: lamb Olympus bowl on rice and it was delish! No complaints here, 10/10 would recommend.
Was here when they were short handed and busy and the 2 girls rocked it with service and getting orders correct and out efficiently
Outstanding Food and Service.
Much better experience this time!
Wonderful all around! Charming service, excellent food, clean, peaceful.
I go here quite a lot. Staff is amazing. Food is wonderful. And the location is super accessible for anyone. Will keep going here a lot this summer!
I haven t been to Opa for about a year. Went there yesterday and paid $34 for 2 meals without drinks. I had the calamari and salad. The serving size of calamari was incredibly small for the price. The Greek salad was disgusting the tomatoes tasted of plastic/chemicals and I had numerous pieces of shrivelled up cucumber. There were only 2 olives on the salad and next to no feta. About 40% of the entire meal was lettuce. I will never go back to Opa again.
Poor service ! I came here for taking delivery the food was so smelly and unfresh,asked for water and they said that to Me you have to pay for it !
Just like all the other OPAs, always good and consistent.
Fantastic food. thank you Karma for making my day brute
Always great food and great service
I ordered a some salad and calamari the and some bread I got my food and waited 20 minutes I asked if my bread was ready and the lady said I didnt order any
It was good but a lil pricey
Very helpful and the food was excellent. Unfortunately they charge $0.50 / cup for tap water. Other than that it was great
Always polite and good food
Awesome
Great place for a quick meal.
Great choice for a healthier option fast food. Really enjoyed the OPA platter with chicken souvlaki. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Nice clean location. Thanks for lunch.
Sysco propped the door open when it was -30 out during lunch hour. The inside was freezing. And the staff seemed to have no problem with this. The food was mediocre and a meal doesn t come with a drink. Not a good experience.
I didnt quite like when I ordered even though I was enthusiastic about it reason being that it was fried in canola oil which made the whole thing very unpalatable it gave me a stomach ache and I did not enjoy my meal
Served raw chicken in the chicken pita wraps. The only thing missing from the chicken were the feathers. Overall disappointing experience.
Yummy!! Great service highly recommended!
Good but too expensive
Beef platter. Thanks for making real food. The pitas were hot, lightly crisped and soft inside. Really good!
Always excellent, we take out
Great food. Excellent service, highly recommended definitely coming back here!
Come to Canada. Keep driving on the right side of the road. Get hungry. Eat at opa! Sooo good.
Order take out, got home and realized they gave us someone else s order. Went back and were told that we got what we ordered, then they changed their story and said the person at the register put the order in wrong. They didn t offer to provide us the correct order at any time.
Very poor excuse for Greek food, the potatoes were terrible and the hummus tasted like saw dust
They run out of calamari quite often, which is annoying. But good food and good service.
Had the chicken pita. No complaints, it was a very tasty, relatively inexpensive lunch.
Great food
This is usually a good location but the last 2 times I have ordered food it s been terrible. Today I went in and order an ops platter with gyros and a chicken wrap meal. Always every single time I have ordered food since the day this location opened the meat goes onto the grill first thing to start heating. Today the girl put it on as an after thought at the end of the order. She didn t squirt any of whatever is in the bottle they normally skirt and didn t put a cover on. The meat wasn t even spread out. Needless to say it was still cold when she took it off. I told the other girl it was still cold and to please put it back on the grill. She did for maybe 30 seconds and the meat was still cold. The rice had no vegetables in it and when I asked if they had stopped putting carrots in parsley in the rice she opened a drawer took out a container of cold raw shredded carrot and dumped some on top of the rice. The chicken for the pita wrap also wasn t put on the grill and was taken out of a warming drawer. Again I have never had this before it is always been heated on the grill. The fries hadn t been seasoned and she didn t put croutons in the Caesar salad even though o said yes when she asked. With the rising cost of eating out , it s not worth going if it s not at least good. Not worth the money and I won t be going back again.
Very disorganized, where do I order? Where do I wait? Where does the line start? I ll never know because in the several minutes I waited no one was helped and what appeared to be a catering order or something got filled instead. Plan better managers.
The food has gradually declined - as have the protein portions. The kicker for me was that there was no clean table at this location.
Staff was exelent the food was outstanding highly recomended!
It was a great experience. The quality of the food was amazing and it was served well.
Great service Thank you Food
The girl working was nice but it s impossible to hear anything in this building through the noise, echo, and music - which made it difficult to communicate.
1st time there - and last. They were Not very organized at lunchtime - or accomodating to my order - I much prefer the mall location over this one. They are more friendlier and prepared for business.
Been to this Opa a few times, they are always friendly and make sure I get my meal to my liking.
I dont often leave 5 stars hut this place did a great job accomodating me and my family when we stopped in for lunch!
Clearly not as good as I have had in the past at other locations. Not sure if its just this loc or if its a general decline. Just average food.
Good but portions seem smaller
Very friendly staff, consistently great food. One of our favorite Friday dinner destinations!
Amazin
Love OPA! Best quality fast food by far.
Delicious lunch!
fast and great food! Jasmine was a great help and super friendly :)
probably the worst food ive gotten in a long time, so disapointed, calamari was so overcooked you couldnt tell if you where eating squid or just batter, the platter was about half the size it used to be, they make sure too leave tons of room for your bread now, wont waste my money there again
Worst service ever. 2 people trying to take care of the lunch rush. Stood in line next to be served and 20 minutes later we walked across the parking lot to Taco Time.
Very good food. Restaurant was nice and clean.
The food is amazing, the prices are reasonable, and the service is awesome! We go when Vishw is working. He is so friendly and accomodating. He always has a smile and has a fantastic attitude. We love him. He is the best!!
The prices are reasonable, the food is always excellent, and the service is great! Vishw is an AMAZINGLY HARD WORKER with a great attitude in a thankless industry! He is ALWAYS friendly, accommodating, and makes sure you are satisfied with your order.
Staff were very helpful. Food was hot and fresh
The worst food I ate in weeks and the serve on plastic and way to small plates ,the sauce container on the food and so on . Dont go there if you dont will be disappointed.
Love love love. #1 takeout. I love lots of parmesan on pita, lots of sauce on greek salad. :)
Loooooooovvvvvvveeeee Opa! The lamb is just perfection
My meal was gross. The ceasar salad was small with very little dressing on it. And the pita was like flimsy cardboard. The tzasiki was off tasting and looked weird. Tried eating it. But it grossed me out. Was completely disppointed wont waste my money next time.
Went too order on skip and then it wouldnt let us showing its closed looked on the website said open till 7 not even labor day yet so was weird. Then still wanted opa decided to go there instead all the signs said they were open within the hours of operation but no signs giving the reason as to why they are closed and seeing people out in their parking lot eating opa as well was just odd no reason was given
Great food and awesome service highly recommended!
Great food and staff. Jasmine was awesome there..
Your average fast food place.
Jasmine was excellent. Fantastic customer service. Good job. Food was fantastic
The calamari tasted like plastic. Was so tough couldnt even chew it....the beef was also so tough everything was cold tasted awful Ive had opa before at other locations and the food here was awful. Even the Greek salad was minimal no cheese or olives tasted like left overs.
The food here is healthy and to die for
Always consistant.... great staff as well
I eat here once a week for lunch and its always perfect. Ingredients are always fresh, the food quantity is more than enough and you cant beat the tzatziki. Plus their staff are fast and friendly. Love this location!
Ive been here a few times now, and the food is reliably delicious. Its one of the better Opa locations Ive eaten at, and Ill definitely keep going there.
Not very happy.. got a chicken ceaser salad with no chicken in it and maybe a drop or two of ceaser dressing. And might I add it was hot. Not warm, Not cold, hot...
Excellent food. Service with a smile.
Food is always delicious. The people working tonight were very disappointing. Very rushed. No customer service, and got my order wrong.
Great customer service ,staff is really friendly, fast and they direct about every new promotion whenever i visit. Must visit this location of opa of greece
You really cannot go wrong with OPA, and the gentleman that is typically there is always great, kind amd friendly. Its always a welcoming business
Service was good and the price was reasonable, but everything we ate -- three different dishes -- was very salty. Opa is not a healthy choice.
Nice food . Mostly like the falafel wrap yummmmm
South Opa! Great food. Great service by chef. Was not conveyed to him that only one of our two orders was with fries, the other a salad. We had told him it was our first visit to Opa! When I pointed out the mistake, he gave both of us fries with the salad to share. Very nice guy.
Typical Opa
Best customer service. ate frybowl last week and it was delicious.
The staff at this location are so helpful and friendly! The food is so tasty too.
Love their food. It was so delicious and hygienic. Staff is also very friendly.
Love their falafel wrap and staff is very friendly. Will come at this location again!
Great great service, excellent food!
This place is really amazing especially when Raman and the other lady were working there. Service was top notch, they were no flies, food was excellent and the way the crew handled marking our stuff was amazing and they were all sweet highly recommended if you ever stop by at leth
Reliably good, fast, friendly service. Healthy food, easy in & out - my go-to lunch stop.
Really enjoyed our lunch. I missed the lemon potatoes them used to have, now it french fries. A sign of the times?
Awsome food, great service. Highly recommend this place.
Im going to say that the staff here are the best in the city. The quality of their meals is consistent and Ive never been disappointed.
Great service and delicious food
Good service, fresh food
Two gals working like machines in front of a big line of hungry customers. Excellent quality for such a quick, tasty lunch.
This new location in South Lethbridge next to Burger King and Telus is fantastic! Fresh flavorful food, great menu options, large portions, great service. Sparking clean and tastefully decor. Delicious!!
Great customers service with very fresh and delicious food! Always wanted to have my meal at this location.
I order the Opa! platter, it was about 12 bucks. It was very filling, and savory! Friendly staff, they were quick and professional too.
OPA! Is always great. Healthiest fast food ever, along with PitaPit. Great business model.
This place is awes every time I visit
Love OPA! Try the fry bowl.
I am really delighted by this place. If you wanna have healthy and delicious meals at a time, do visit here! Also, fresh and appetizing ;)
Staff was super attentive, food was exactly what you expect from Opa and the restaurant was clean. Definitely a nicer/less hectic ordering experience than the other location in the mall, even if this restaurant is a bit out of the way.
Absolutely delicious. Fresh and generous portions.
Great food, fast service, decent prices.
Eaten here twice now in a week. Very good service and the food was perfect
Great food. Friendly fresh and delicious.
Fast. Fresh. And friendly.. and tastes great.
service was good food was also good but very noisy so hard to hear when they are asking questions about your order.
If you have not tried the Falafel pita wrap you need to! Love it
Great staff and food!
Ive always liked opa however my most recent experience was terrible. The fries we ordered were not cooked enough, they were limp, soggy and had almost zero Seasoning on them. Just overall gave me a sick feeling. I cant believe they would send out poor quality food. Major mistake on the employees part who prepared the food (which was ordered 1 hour prior to this review).
Fantastic food and customer service!
Fantastic!
Love the food
It s very good place nice and clean staff are very friendly..!!
Great food
Delicious food
Yummy food ...Neat and clean environment...Must visit Opa of Greece!
Its Opa... if the staff are on top of things and nice (and this location was) its always a good bet.
Its OPA! That basically speaks for itself. Such good food, and a great place to get my fix of Lamb. This location seems to always be clean, and the staff are friendly.
It was our first time at OPA and the food was really delicious! The service was friendly and fast. We will definatly be back. I recommend going for a great meal.
Greatcustomer service and fantastic food
Super delicious greek cuisine. Try the lamb bowl!
Fries were undercooked and soggy. Not sure but wondering if the lamb was undercooked or not heated enough as well and missed our drinks.
Pretty good. Calamari wasnt the best, tough and kind of cold. Lamb souvlaki was good.
Very good food & quite reasonably priced. Good service. The cashier told us about a Holiday meal deal which included Baklava!!
Went there during their Grand Opening. Absolutely delicious food, friendly service, and fantastic promotions. Would definitely return.
Good service, but very small portions compared to other locations. I have been here 5 times now, and each time I have received about half the amount of fries, and my tzaziki has been filled up maybe 20% of the already small container.
Fast and friendly service!
Went yesterday, food was delicious!
clean environment and delicious food. very poor service, the woman working tried to argue with me about what i wanted it eat. i ordered pita bread, fries and drink. the woman told me not to order that and to get skewer of meat instead. when she finally got my order right we carried on and they forgot my drink. i had to ask FOUR times for my drink. when choosing to eat at Opa choose another location!
Great fresh food. They could soak their salad in the salad dressing for a little longer then they alowe it to and the salad is kknd taste less. Greatnclean new location.
For a bit more, get real Greek food. Really.
Good food. A bit hard to understand the server though.
Best opa in town. Workers are very happy and accommodating and a pleasure to deal with.
Dont want to feel gross after you eat. Eat opa. Good food.
It just opened and everything is fresh and made right, just amazing
Food was good
Loved the food
Anshul very good at job.
Great service, unreal food. Fries are unreal.
I am so glad that I dont have to go to the Mall to buy Opa. The service is better at this location.
Great food fast service.
It was really good
Friendly staff, fresh food, quickly served
Awesome food and service! Loved it.
