The meat was shredded, overcooked, dry, and lacked any real flavor other than grease. It reminded me more of something you'd get from a food truck than from a restaurant I used to love. I'm not sure what's changed, but unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. I truly hope this was just an off day because I'd love to see Opa return to the quality it used to have.

I most like the Falafel Pita. It's about $14 and comes with a side. This can come with fries or a salad among other things. It just is too expensive. Skip it. Try something that's very similar and not as much as they charge you.

Having said that, this food does not qualify as even marginally Greek. The spanakopita was dry and flavorless. A village salad, which I expected to be a Horiatiki, was just tiny cubes of tomato and cucumber in a strong red wine vinegar. Red wine vinegar was so overwhelming that it caused my throat to close up and choke. I was unable to eat it. And the cheesecake texture was that of something that had dried out in the refrigerator for a week. Worst meal I've had out in a very long time. Absolutely not ever eat there again.

if i am being honest 3.5 stars would be better…read more now let's start with the good part. the gyro is delicious! I went out of my way to come here for lunch after i saw a facebook post from the cheese steak adventures's guy pop up! it was from a while ago but i figured if he liked it... why not? the pita is really good. chewy. warm and moist. i got the classic (more to come) which is basically a gyro with the fixin's. lamb and fries tzsatiki. perfect. now let's move on to the staff and the restaurant overall. there are so many things wrong. the website will not let you honor several of the lunch specials. if you click on certain links they're no good. dont try to use them, since you will get to the restaurant and they will charge you for whatever the order would have been. i mean i want to save two bucks like everyone else. next, i'm going to agree with the many other reviews... why in the world can you NOT get sauce on the side if you pay for it? do they not have any lil cups?! i looked around this place is pretty cut and dry. i know it sounds like BS but i think they dont have those lil tiny cups. ...then there is the staff. i want so badly for them to hire the 'local lady who answers the phone'. they need it in the worst way. the guy who picks up is as fun as paint drying. it's a huge turn off for folks who know the food is good but the staff is not. will i be back... ?you damn right. but i am going to avoid a bunch of things from the jump: i'm only ordering online, if there is an upsell for sides and they do not have them i will just ask for my money back. they use toast for their ordering system and they will honor refunds if need be, and park around back. they have 2 spaces, the staff is using them too! i really hope things turn around in this location. they are not in philly anymore. it's the 'burbs baby!

Gave it one more shot today but I seriously doubt I will be back. The manager himself acted like…read moreit's too hard to go to the back of the store(which is how he put it) and fill in a very small amount of feta spread in a mini cup, even though I paid two extra dollars for it, like he was being inconvenienced . He also had to for whatever reason try and make a point that, if I got it on the side. He made sure I knew that he was only gonna do it this time. Like, whatever already. lol In the past, this was not an issue. Also, there's an option to get your fries on the side instead of in the pita and he literally gave three french fries in a bag separate. (granted, I'm not expecting obviously a whole bag of fries but come on.) Out of the past three or four times they've forgotten many things in my food and I haven't really said anything(because the employees were actually nice at the time, but not the owner tonight), and this is ridiculous now. Oh, and they got my appetizer wrong tonight. I asked for FETA Mini Phyllo Pies. They got it completely wrong and gave me spinach. If the manager/owner wasn't so rude then I wouldn't be so upset right now especially since I let them slide so many times.
