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.

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

August 29, 2024

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.

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.

December 22, 2023

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.

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.

December 22, 2023

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.

December 22, 2022

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
