Opa Grill was a good, family-friendly restaurant in Kenilworth. Tried it for the first time. Everything was fresh and flavorful. When we walked in, small restaurant, however you can feel the family love within the place. I think one of the owners was making homemade food at one of the tables. I loved seeing what's homemade is put into cooking. Service was great, all payments are accepted, parking is available outside and within walking distance to Opa Grill. Small and quaint for some good Greek food!

Food was excellent!! I was looking for some authentic Greek cuisine and this came pretty close. Ordered takeout and food was still hot when I got home. The spanakopita was a little chewy but what else can I say it had to travel. Cute little restaurant, service was fast and efficient.

Food was very tasty. They brought out complimentary pita with various dips & penne vodka with chicken. I don't eat meat so I did not taste the pasta but everyone said it was good. I really enjoyed the beet dip that came with the pita. Portion sizes were very large for everything and the prices are extremely reasonable. The staff was very friendly, the chef/owner (?) Brought a few of the dishes out himself and checked on use during the meal. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the food came out at very different times. On one had I appreciate that they brought out the meals as they were ready so they would be fresh, however we had a party of 7 of some people were already almost done with their meals by the time the last person got theirs. Overall, the food was really good and I would definitely come back next time I am in the area.

Pita + Beet dip
Janani S.

What an absolute gem!! ALL their food is absolutely mind blowing- hands down the best Greek place I've ever been to. I went to the cash register and ordered for here: the eggplant dip, spanakopita for appetizers, a falafel gyro for my main entree and a milopita for dessert. Then we went to go sit at the table. Within a couple minutes, they brought a beet dip and pita which was so good! You can taste the beets, garlic, spice aftermath and paired beautifully with the freshly made pita. Shortly after we got the eggplant pita which had a wonderful cold contrast with textures like peppers, kalamata olives etc with the pita. The spanakopita were hands down insane!! It was so fresh, fried just right - not oily, beautiful crunch and crisp. For the main meal the falafel gyro came with the French fries. The gyro didn't have too much tzatziki sauce so it was a bit dry. The falafels were well made and flavorful. The French fries were lightly salted so the ketchup paired very nicely. For the dessert, we asked the waitress and she recommended the milopita if we wanted a warm lightly sweet dessert. So glad we got this on a cold day, it tasted like Christmas-time and fresh, flaky apple cinnamon cohesively meshed together. I am definitely coming back here, and after all this food it still didn't feel too heavy!!

Liani was a super nice server in this small Greek American restaurant located on the Boulevard in Kenilworth. Authentic Greek cuisine is served here. Grilled Pork Spare Ribs, Spanakopita and Baklava cheesecake hit the spot. All excellent. One small negative, a little less pita with the entrées.

Decided to check this place out for a lunch recently . I tried the lamb gyro to start with a side of lemon potatoes. The lamb gyro was pretty good! Lemon potatoes were ok. I would definitely come back and check it out again. There is an outside area to eat - good for this Covid pandemic Otherwise there is an inside dining area for whenever inside dining will be back in season again. Staff was nice and greeted me upon arrival.

I must say that this place was a pleasant surprise. It was my first time having greek food and I loved my souvlaki and greek fries. Very flavourful and tender. I will try something different next time.

One of my biggest pet peeves is people talking over my food, and that is exactly what happened. While my bowl was being assembled, I added a few items that came with an upcharge. The employee making my bowl informed me of the extra cost, which I understood completely--I've been to Cava many times and know how it works. However, as she repeatedly explained the upcharge, she was talking directly over my food and visibly spitting while speaking, which made me extremely uncomfortable. When I tried to reassure her that I understood and that it wasn't necessary to keep repeating it, her coworker jumped in saying it was "company policy" to ask. I told them that was fine and that I would pay whatever the cost was, but asked that they stop repeating it. Instead of de-escalating, both employees began laughing and smirking, which felt very unprofessional. I calmly explained that I don't like people talking over my food. Their response was sarcastic and dismissive, which eventually led to me raising my voice out of frustration. When it came time to add dressing, the employee intentionally drowned my bowl in dressing to the point where it was completely soggy and inedible--it honestly felt like retaliation. I asked if they would eat something prepared that way, and only then did the manager step in. Thankfully, the manager handled the situation professionally and remade my bowl, which I truly appreciated. I own a franchise myself, and proper food service practices and basic respect for customers are non-negotiable. Talking over food, laughing at customers, and acting spitefully has no place in a restaurant. The manager handled the situation appropriately, but the behavior of the front-line staff was unacceptable and needs to be addressed.

Wonderfully yummy food well prepared and beautifully plated…read more Our party of three split the Greek grilled calamari appetizer with capers, onions, and tomatoes, lightly seasoned, and the spanakopita so buttery and flaky. The entrees we ordered: the vegetarian moussaka, the lamb ("Bifteki") platter, and the chicken souvlaki platter. We were very happy and very satisfied. Portions are ample. Timing of the 2 grilled meat dishes with the oven-baked casserole was perfect: everything was hot. Our thanks to the chef of a well managed kitchen. The complementary butter cookies were a delightful way to end the meal. Our server was attentive and professional. The interior is spotless, with minimal decoration, so nothing distracting.

I'm seeing many 3-4 star reviews from fellow Yelpers and I keep thinking that perhaps my experience…read morewas a singular one. The two stars I'm giving here is for the restaurant itself. This restaurant looks great. There is a nice counter area to order, a really nice seating area inside and even outdoor seating. Some of the decor makes you feel like you're in a household's kitchen. By the cashier there is a table you can wait at complete with local newspapers. It's very charming. This was my first visit and I ordered my food to go. I had two key dishes. The first was hummus with falafel, which is very standard for me whenever I go to any Mediterranean place. When I opened the take out box at home I was really surprised. Most places give you a good amount of hummus, but here it was basically a thin layer. Kind of like a layer of mayo on a sandwich (maybe a tad thicker). Then on top of the hummus was a huge layer of pickled vegetables and tiny pickles. This was a surprise. I've had hummus orders from a lot of restaurants before and I've *never* seen this on an order before. Then the falafel balls were on top and well...they were really dry and didn't have much flavor. Now, sometimes you can cover that up by just coating the falafel in hummus, but there wasn't enough hummus to do that. The dish was just disappointing all around. The other dish I tried were the Lemon Potatoes. They were good! The lemon flavor was strong and they were cooked well. Not the best example in the area, but they would do in a pinch. At some point I'll give this place another try. Maybe this was a fluke (at least I hope so).

Weirdly snug parking lot (especially harrowing when you had to back out into a busy street), and walking inside everything felt oddly tight and squished together. We were now a bit unsure on where we'd decided to stop since the diners closer to homebase are much bigger (and inviting) all around. But... we received our menus (too long/large for our table!) and when we saw the hundreds of choices available - our skepticism disappeared. I went with a sloppy joe (Jersey version) and it was massive. And delicious. One kid went with a grilled cheese, the other with a chicken sandwich. We eventually had to tap out and request a doggy-bag. Good eats. Good pricing. Great waitress (there's no one quite like a Jersey diner waitress that's equally kind and cool and gruff and "Kiss my grits!" - right?). If I found myself down this way again I'd definitely swing back in for 'Round Two'.
