    Chicken and rice, chicken and rice. The only thing you should get here. The rice is seasoned well, the chicken is moist and tender. It's a great place to take a break from work

    Fantastic Mediterranean food to-go in Lower Pacific Heights. Opa cafe blends fresh Mediterranean with a relaxed dining atmosphere. The service was super quick and easy. I got the Beef Gyro plater. The beef was super flavorful, the tzatziki sauce was earthy and delicious, the salad was crunchy, lemony and light and the saffron rice was cooked perfectly.

    Lamb Shawarma With hummus Hot Plate

    Recently ordered the lamb shawarma hot plate, which comes with hummus and rice. It was plenty for two people to share and the food was delicious. Great value for the amount of food they serve. I have also had a sandwich in the past and also thoroughly enjoyed it.

    We got to Opa Cafe during their lunch rush and it was busy! The cafe is cozy and nice, though it can get loud during lunch time with all the hustle and bustle. You place your order with the cashier and you can take a seat at a table or take your food to go. We opted to eat in while the food was piping hot! GRILLED LAMB KEBAB PLATE ~ Meat was juicy and tender though cooked more well than medium, rice was a bit too soft and soggy, hummus was watery and thinned out. They give you a generous portion, but I've had better. HUMMUS BOWL W/ CHICKEN SHAWARMA ~ as I said, hummus could have been much thicker, but chicken was tasty. We were disappointed with the textures. It could have been better if they were less heavy handed with the water. We usually aren't in this part of town and made a point to try them out. I guess it wasn't our cup of tea, while others seem to love them!

    I've had my eye on Opa Cafe for quite awhile and yesterday was the first time I was able to visit and try their food. The cafe is set up for you to order at the counter and then take a seat and wait; they let you know when your order is ready and you pick it up at the counter...very casual. Most orders were takeout, so there were plenty of seats in their dining area. Everything is served in takeout containers, even if you want to dine in, so don't expect real utensils or plates and glasses. Now for the food: lots of options, so it was difficult to decide, but I went with the grilled beef kebob plate with salad, rice, and hummus ($16.95). It came out piping hot and nicely flavored, although I needed an addition of salt to bring the flavors out. I think it would've benefited from a nice squeeze of fresh lemon. The rice, salad, and hummus portions were great, but it was a little shy on the meat side. The salad also needed a bit more dressing for my taste, but I'm sure the amount of salt and salad dressing would've suited many others just fine. Service was pretty fast considering how busy they were. I was there at lunch time, so lots of folks from Kaiser were picking up lunch. The woman at the counter was really nice and friendly, too, so it was very pleasant. I would definitely go again when I can.

    Grilled Lamb Kebab Plate
    Petr J.

    Nice place. Sticky dirty table. Workers chatting standing around . Cleaned table myself. Got Grilled Lamb Kebab. Took 15 minutes, I was only one waiting. Got pretty looking plate. All was good except Lamb meat was bad, each piece different, only one soft juicy, rest either dry, hard, chewy...disaster. Overall this is parody on Mediterranean food place. This whole team has seemingly no clue what they are doing. But maybe other plates are better. I will not recommend this place for above reasons. Good luck.

    Breakfast croissant with avocado
    My D.

    I come here often since it's convenient and affordable. They have a huge selection including breakfast sandwiches, burgers and kebab plates. My go to: - hummus bowl with lamb shawarma (a bit greasy) - chicken shawarma plate - extra meat ($4-6)

    ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

    This restaurant is what I look forward to when having my doctor appointments around the corner. The food never fails and always offer the same consistency taste which I look forward to in a restaurant. This place has always been my go to for the rotisserie chicken rice plate and service as always is great. Can't wait to come back.

    Are you guys open New Year's Day 1/1/2022?

    Sorry we will be closed

    I see Opa Spread is an available option for some sandwiches. What is in Opa Spread?

    Does Opa offer or adapt dishes for vegans?

    Yes. Basically, any ingredient they have they will add or substract depending on what you want.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

    Ordered the Nearly Reuben on sliced sourdough, toasted, with house garlicky mayo and brown mustard…read moreon DoorDash. Double pastrami, horseradish, havarti, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and pepperoncini. A lot going on, and it all came together. The horseradish and havarti gave it enough personality to stand apart from a standard pastrami sandwich, and the garlicky mayo tied everything together. The one casualty of DoorDash was sogginess by the time it arrived. That's not a knock on the sandwich, it's just the reality of ordering something like this for delivery. At $14.50 it's a hearty sandwich at a fair price. I'd recommend it, but eat in.

    Wow! In a bit of a rush and was in need of something quick as take-out. Pleasantly surprised by the…read moreMafioso. Amazing quality of freshcut meats and a very hefty sandwich. Ordered and walked out in the span of 10 min. Very italian deli with tiramisus and cannolis. Tons of italian snacks and puff pastries, and a convenient location to pickup anything from beers/wines to premade cannoli shells and gelato. One thing to note is you cannot customize the sandwich, not sure about the pizzas, which smelled delicious. They only make speciality sandwiches on their menu, but surely can't go wrong with any of the choices. They're packed with a sizeable amount of meat as well as greens. The half was enough to fill me up and they were kind enough to wrap them separately.

    my friends and I stopped by for sandwiches at limoncello after seeing all the rave about it online…read more there were so many options and we were also excited to see the deli was actually part of a larger italian grocery store and grabbed some italian sodas too! we were a bit disappointed by the sandwiches themselves- for $18, we felt that the proportions were a bit off. it still tasted great and ingredients were high quality, but there was a monstrous amount of meat and lettuce so it was hard to get any of the other flavors. the portions were huge though, which is a plus. overall, the store was very cute, clean, and seemed like it stocked authentic italian ingredients. the service was pretty quick since we just ordered at the counter, and they are all very friendly.
