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 over 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.

I like the food. I order chicken pitta wrap meal and it was awesome. The way they prepare meal in front of customer is very impressive. The best thing is all food was fresh and we'll cooked. The staff is very cooperative.

I recently visited OP of Grease and had a very disappointing experience with the portion sizes. I ordered a wrap with fries, expecting a decent portion of fries to accompany the meal. However, what I received was extremely disappointing – there were barely 8-9 fries on the plate! When I asked about it, I was told this was the "new portion" size. This is absolutely unacceptable considering the price. The wrap itself costs $9.55, and with fries, the total came to $13.65. For such a premium price, the portion should be more reasonable. Not informing customers about the portion size before ordering feels unfair and misleading. The quality of the food may be decent, but the pricing and portioning leave much to be desired. I will think twice before ordering from here again

I ordered fries and there’s next to nothing there. Typically their portions are over the top but this wouldn’t even equate to a small fry. Disappointing.

An update to the review I posted a few weeks ago. I very quickly got a call from Peter from Head Office. He assured me that he would make things right when next he passed through Lethbridge. Today was the day!! Peter was quick to replicate my order and deliver it in person. A fantastic, very personable man!! He made my day!! So, the food was very fresh and delicious and presented with purpose. What a big difference. I really do recommend that you taste the food at Opa! Peter really did restore my faith in realizing that there really are individuals on this earth that really care about their customers. Thank you Peter, and the staff that nicely prepared my meal!!! Cheers!!

Disgusting. Tried to pay merchant terminal says processing error. NOT DECLINED. Try again same error. In front of your guests I get asked if I have enough money in my account? Seriously????? FYI I got dinner somewhere else. I will also be emailling the Franchisor. Quick to respond on a public website yet not to my email they requested.

Its in the food court at the mall. Food is delicious. Reasonably priced. Portion size is just right. Looks clean behind the counter compared to the other options. I get the gyro and fries usually, sometimes souvlaki. Only criticism is the tzatziki sauce. Seems a little bland but still yummy.

Delicious food made quickly, very nice staff and rather quick service. The food I had gotten was very delicious and the wrap was portioned quite well, I felt very content and happy. Huge thank you to the person who was working that day they were very kind and sweet. The fries were also very well done

Wrap was not made well and side of potato was cold. For a $18 lunch I expected way better quality.

Visited last Wednesday 45 minutes before closing was really good perfect amount of tzatziki and was fast . Salad was still crisp. Gloves where changed often which I love to see! Vegetarian options: Everything you can get has a vegetarian option and the falafel is just good. But I usually do get it with a meat protein. All around great healthy options Dietary restrictions: Salads and even the fries seem more healthy . Offer a plate with zero gluten I believe salad and choice of protein. But also a plater with so much. Always filled.

December 22, 2019

Not very happy with the service last night around 6:20 pm me and my husband were lining up to get our dinner. Only one girl in the counter preparing orders from customer ahead of us. There one couple waiting in line to order in front of us and when she was ready to take the order of the couple in front of us, she was saying no more meals are being served at the time. The only thing they have were salad and whatever they have ready made in the counter. So the old man just left unsatisfied and went to A&W and the old lady just ordered salad. Same thing with us, we wanted to order Chicken Souvlaki Salad and Calamari and we were declined because they were saying no more meals at that time. We went to drive to Park Royal just to have this meal as I was pregnant and craving for this meal and they dont have it. That was not very Customer Satisfactory experience for me and my husband. They should be serving food until the mall close not 30 minutes before the mall close. I will give them a minus 3 stars for that service.

Not like other OPAs ! We had some work to do at the US boarder so we decided to eat on our way back to Calgary. Picked this place. Food was COLD. Chicken was reheated. Even the rice test was outdated. I d highly recommend the owner of this store to reconsider his options before he/she loses business. Not like other OPAs!

Over charge or short change, chicken was very dry and cold, male cashier seemed to sleeping at the till
