Sadly, this location has declined over the years! All of our visits at this location lately have been a continuous streak of poor service and subpar food.
They are ALWAYS out of something you want on the menu. Tonight, at 6 pm, they had no pork.
The quality of how the meat is cooked, is always a hit or miss. Tonight, the chicken was tender, but lamb was tough and dry.
For some odd reason, tonight the Greek Salad was all onions. Never have I received a Greek salad from here or any place with such an absurd amount of onions. I love onions but it's all I could taste and can still taste!
It is very rare for the staff to get your order right. After a really long and rough 48 hours (we suffered a miscarriage), we stopped here on our way home to pick up a bite to eat. Exhausted and drained, it was our last stop before going home to grieve and physically heal. Aware the service is always poor, my husband was very clear with the staff. He said three times no tomatoes in the wrap, emphasizing importance - caring the only thing to get right about the order is no tomatoes. Raw tomatoes give me severe killer heart burn. I will pick them out of the salad but always hold tomatoes as a topping on anything. Exhausted, he sat down as they prepared the order trusting they'd get it right. Low and behold we get home to discover my wrap was full of tomatoes. When diced, soggy and saturated in tzataki, they are hard to pick off. Because I am not picky, I still ate it a long with a bottle of Tums(which don't always work l)! On the other hand, my husband did not eat. He was too angry, tired, and disheartened, feeling the last thing I needed tonight was a case of heartburn.
This experience will be our final and last with Opa. Wouldn't recommend this place, especially if your are...
Read moreI went into Opa at around 8 pm ordered $45 + a $5 tip worth of food. Two full orders of Cesar salad, two skewers by themselves, and a full order of Calamari and a full order of fries. We drove home and when I opened the cartons there was a quarter of a container of salad in each one! Skewers with pieces of meat missing and cut so small I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!!! OPA used to be a great place to eat!!! Flavourful and healthier than most fast food places and most of all fresh food !!! and you got a fair amount of it for what you paid for it! NOT at this location!! I think the staff working tonight were new and didnt want to cut up anymore lettuce or make fresh kabob's so they just served us what they had and were likely about to throw out… and hoped we didn’t say anything… same with the fries and Calamari!!! I’ve never had an issue with the other staff that I’ve seen working there. My husband was so mad he drove all the way back. When he got home he said that they just put a little more salad in the two containers and that was it. The fellow couldn’t even understand English either. Just a shame to want to support local and then to treated to such...
Read moreFrom the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the mouth-watering aroma of authentic Greek food. The menu was diverse and featured a range of traditional Greek dishes, including souvlaki, gyros, and spanakopita.
I ordered the calamari, which was cooked to perfection and served with fresh tzatziki sauce and a side of Greek salad. The flavors were incredibly bold and delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. The food was reasonably priced, making it an excellent value for the quality and quantity of food offered.
The service at Opa Souvlaki was outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a warm and welcoming ambiance.
Overall, I highly recommend Opa Souvlaki to anyone looking for authentic Greek food in Calgary. The mouth-watering dishes, excellent service, and cozy atmosphere make this restaurant stand out from the rest. I will definitely be coming...
