OPA! of Greece Aviation Crossing — Restaurant in Calgary

Calgary greeted us with a big OPA! The first priority when we arrived was to find a place to eat. We found OPA of Greece right near the airport. I had a spanakopita that was delicious and my husband had the gyro platter that included a Greek salad. Since we are Greek, we felt right at home. The dining area was clean and tastefully decorated with scenes of Greece. Take a look at my photo. Guess this was considered a Greek fast food restaurant. I don't know if it a chain here in Canada, but we don't have one in the US that I am aware of. I'm sure it would do very well. They have a menu of all the typical Greek foods and desserts.

The staff was very efficient and kind. We even got into a conversation with a French Canadian woman. So, you don't have to be Greek to dine...

Ordered the OPA! Platter to go and usually very happy with the meal at other locations but thoroughly disgusted when upon my arrival at home only 10 minutes later to find my food completely ice cold and the potato seemed as though it was from the previous day's batch, it was dry and completely without any seasoning! Plus there was a long wavy dark strand of hair found in the rice!! Needless to say, I couldn't finish my meal and ended up eating a frozen pizza and a soup package I had at home. Very bad form OPA! From this experience, I will probably not be able to go to another OPA! location again. I usually love their food but this was the worst! This is a newer location and I would hate for it to shut down, but if they don't fix this issue....they might as...

I’ve been eating Opa for years and today’s chicken wrap was the best one I’ve ever had. The bread was perfect. Typically, the bread is kind of dry. Today, Saturday June 14th, the two guys working did a fantastic job. It makes me wonder if the times in the past, the bread was already made and just kind of reheated, giving it a drier texture. This time, the bread looked completely white, as if being cooked for the first time. I don’t live anywhere near this location, I just stopped here on my way out of Calgary. I’d go here instead of my typical A&W that’s close to home when leaving the city northbound after today’s experience. I didn’t catch the names of the two guys working this afternoon (2 pm) but wow, they did a great job and I hope they can see this...
