The food, drinks, and dessert were absolutely phenomenal! Super delicious meal, very nice wait staff, and delightful atmosphere!---Thank you Opa! You guys are the best! I mistakenly wrote my total after a fun night out with my friend! The tip was correct, but the total was 30$ over. The fault was mine. Opas manager verified with me the correct tip quantity and put me at ease. The kind waiter entered my correct tip quantity and did not enter the incorrect total. I felt like the staff are trustworthy and kind. Will be coming back!

I’ve always enjoyed Opa Life. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is delicious. It was also very well located for us, as we lived literally next doors, so this was our favorite spot for Greek food at a walking distance. I’d recommend all the items that I’ve tried here, including the chicken souvlaki, gyros, Greek fries, hummus, baklava and Greek coffee. We’ve moved further away from this place now, but I’d definitely go back if I’m in the area.

Our dinner plans were cancelled and we decided to check out Opas. I am so glad e did, service was spot on, food was wonderful and the atmosphere was laid back. We started with the hummus trio, the garlic was to die for. All were good, but I would come back just for that garlic hummus. For some reason the Margherita pizza was calling my name, no ideal why. It was good, thin and had decent flavor. Next time Im going with a pita. The Husband went big and ordered the Opa Greek Burger with Greek fries. It was a monster of a Burger, the kind once you pick it up you cant put it down. He loved it. I ended up stealing some of the fries. They were addicting. The place got super busy, which is good sign. We will definitely be back!

Oh my Opa! Amazing gyro and Greek salad! Best lemon potatoes...best potatoes I have ever eaten in my entire life! Trust me... I have eaten potatoes! No potato left behind. Also took a serving of baklava cheesecake to go...yes, you read that correctly baklava cheesecake is one thing and it is WOW! Brigette our server was also superb. Lovely outdoor patio dining available if you like the outdoors. We will be back!

Opa Life beef is on the rare-side. I dont mind it. But for someone like my mom she would have returned it. Beef is tricky. Sometimes its chewy. My order was $16 (or $17) + $1 for extra sauce. I wish it was less expensive. I ordered The steak Pita. The lady who took my order didnt ask what side I wanted. It comes with salad or fries. There was no dressing for salad. Be sure to ask. Lastly, and this is a big one... They put salad and pita next to one another! Pita got soggy. There should be a basket paper to separate. I am going to email that suggestion. Oh, and as of July 2021 there is NO menu on Opa Life (Tempe location) website.PROs:Salad was huge!Pitas are fresh!Mom ordered a side of*Garlic Hummus*Oh my goodness that saved the day,Comes with 2 pitas!I saw a Full barTake-out: Ready 10-20m like they said.

First time Greek in years (outside of Europe). Interior might not be the greatest but absolutely compensated by the food and the service which were impeccable! Would highly recommend this if you are on vacation here and want something different than the eternal burger!

Went in to have lunch. I was very excited because I use to eat there all the time years ago. I went to the bar area at a tabletop and was told I needed to move to the bar that had 1 open seat. I asked the guy can I not sit here and he said NO. I looked at him as to an explanation and he said he was the only one and would appreciate me sitting at the bar. I didnt want to sit shoulder to shoulder with anyone at that time. I literally was at a table about 10 feet away from the bar. I decided to leave and said this was ridiculous.

Food is excellent! We ordered gyro pitas and the Greek fries (our first time here). Clean restaurant, quick service. Our server, Ethan, was exceptional, charismatic, conversational and knowledgeable of the menu. While we were eating, the female manager/owner was belittling our server (loudly) in front of other patrons for ringing something in to the kitchen improperly. I thought it was very unprofessional, unnecessay and is a quick way to lose a very good employee. Otherwise, a very pleasant experience.

I have always loved coming here. This last time around though i was terribly disappointed. Our pita was still raw and the gyro meat was crazy dry with a weird off taste to it. The soup was by far the best part of our meal. Such a shame.

2 stars is only for the new slower service at lunch. They decided to go to full service. Prior, you walked in, placed your order and sat down; your food was brought to you shortly. Now you walk in, have to be seated, and wait for someone to help you to take your order. I just walked out of the restaurant. Its not quick for lunch any longer. The food is great, make no mistake about it. I will be back, but I will place an order online walk-in and eat it there. Why the built in delay for lunch?

I am Greek. To me even mediocre Greek food on occasion was better than none. However, service was always very bad..Every time without exception. The final straw came when the manager refused my request for a little more oregano. The most ignorant person in a management capacity I have ever met. She is unmatched. Fortunately, I found Zorbas Greek restaurant on Alma school. The owner was born in Greece. The family cooks the food which is excellent and the service is unsurpassed. They even play beautiful European music.

We waited at least an hour before our food came. We waited 45mins to even put the order in. The waiter was very rude. We are sitting here, watching as 2 parties received there food before us and they arrived after us. They have a happy hour menu, and some of the items are discontinued. I get you all are busy, would it have killed either one of the servers to acknowledge, and apologize for the wait . We didn’t get that at all. 😡 We continue to hear 2 different servers, apologize for the wait to the older Caucasian couple sitting next to us. I will never ever ever eat here AGAIN

I am a Chef and have been for many years. I have also started in the front of the house as a server and bartender. I know the industry front and back. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Bad food, bad service, happy hour 😝. Couldnt even talk to our bartender. Talked to the manager, after her many sips of drinks and was bombarded by her lack of caring. Maybe it would be a more pleasant experience if the staff wasnt partaking in the alcohol. Below star level.

My husband and I are loyal customers here, we order at least once a month. We got it delivered through Uber Eats last night and I swear it was the best time yet. We always order 2 greek gyros with greek fries. The sun dried tomato hummus is to die for and I wish I had a gallon of it. The Baklava cheesecake never disappoints! Thanks Opa, I hope you guys see this and know you are doing a great job.

Ive seen a lot of good reviews posted but I have to voice my experience. 3 of my co workers and I decided to have this for lunch while working and we all got extremely sick. We all had symptoms related to food poisoning and were miserable the next day. We all ate the pita gyro, not sure how great the meat was but I will not be eating here again.

Amazing fresh food! Highly recommend it! Took my parents for lunch, mom had a salad, dad a pizza and I had a pita. We all were satisfied! The out side porch is nice with this AZ weather.I highly recommend to walk around the plaza as well, they have many things to offer. My dad and I ended up getting a haircut at Borrosos Barber Studio, thats an amazing place in its self! I did an appoint through their website borrosos.comAfter we had some froyo and Aloha Yogurt.

I love this place! Every year on my birthday I go with the same friend as our birthdays are two days apart. We always get the Greek fries.

Everything is delicious so you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

Can sit wherever, got our order taken waited 8minutes roughly. Noticed a wasp on the inside of the window right next to us. Moved to a table 4 tables down from the current one.Our server walked past us several times, after waiting 20 minutes I alerted the bar tender, who spoke with the server that didnt write our orders down, didnt even put our order into the systemJust walked out, wasnt even busy, 4 tables had people and 2 at the bar0/5, thank you Derik for the miserable experience.

Its not been easy for us to find a place with good gyros. When we moved to the area we tried Opa take out and were pleasantly surprised. The sauce was the perfect consistency (not too runny or sludgy). Weve since earn there about a dozen times (mostly take out) and have had great food every time. The menu is pretty diverse, so it should be easy for anyone to find something they want to eat there.

Review №52

Food was amazing but the manager-owner was very snarky when asking about food that hadnt come out with the rest of the tables food. When voicing my concerns on how the food didnt come out with the rest of the tables food she became very snarky and condensing when stating my concern that the rest of the table had eaten already. She became very snarky putting her hands together and talking down to me and saying I planned on handling the meal. I responded that, that was awesome and thank you! I will never put money into Angies pocket again because of her crapy attitude towards a paying customer. For an owner of a company you would think that a snarky attitude would be unacceptable to paying customers.....

Weve been coming here for years and Ive always loved it. We started doing take out more, and it kept getting worse and worse, with today being perhaps the last time we will give it a chance. My husband called in an order for 2 gyro pitas (one with fries and one with salad) and a full baklava. When he got home, there was no tzatziki sauce for either gyro and no dressing for the salad. The baklava was extremely soggy and a bit old tasting. I wanted to finish it so we didnt waste it, but I couldnt do it. We were very disappointed.

Opa Life Greek Cafe, Tempe. I was just there this evening/just me. Oh, how we love this place and how we miss going there! COVID Pandemic got in the way for us. At OpaLife, Really friendly patrons, Servers are awesome! Servers ever so politely checking back with us. I like the food at Opa. Really good and the menu items are good size for the price. As a creature of habit Ive not tried everything on the menu. I like that I can eat and and not feel hungry afterward such that I have quite an appetite (Thanks to My Loving Mom and My Beautiful Wife). Before the COVID pandemic, Opa used to have live salsa music. We used to go for the dance, the dinner and the friendly atmosphere (patrons and Servers/Staff at Opa included). Before My Beautiful Wife passed away this past February, she had suggested going to Opa just to get together as we had done before, for dinner, for the pleasant atmosphere. Well, Opa Life, in honor of and on behalf of My Beautiful and out of love for and utmost respect for your Servers/Staff and patrons and for the pleasant atmosphere at your place, I and some of my family and friends will be coming back, hopefully very soon. Thank You for the ever-so-pleasant past dining/dancing memories. Surely, more memories to cherish at Opa Life...

No ppl on a Sunday at 3pm. Quick service our food came pretty fast maybe 15 min. Salad was fresh, crisp and great tasting creamy dressing. Oh the olives were dry, so I thought they might be old. Orders came out correct, I asked for no cheese. Gyro was also fresh, bread was so good & soft, but to be honest gyro meat itself did not have much flavor. We both thought gyro meat was just ok. Beers on tap is limited compared to what the board has, but decent options. Hubby’s hot fries were tasty and right amount of crisp outside.

My favorite Greek restaurant in Tempe! I came here a few years ago and made it a point to visit again when we moved back. Their gyros are so delicious - even in the wrap instead of a pita. Their Greek salad and fries are delicious as well. Great spot to watch a game, meet up with friends or a date night. Service near the bar area can be a little slow when they are busy.

What used to be great has completely soured. We placed an order for delivery that was incorrect when delivered (missing items) The restaurant, when contacted, refused to make it right even after admitting it was entirely their fault and not the delivery driver’s. In addition, the veggie wrap was soggy and the calamari was undercooked and tasteless. We’re very disappointed. We used to go often, but we’ll never go back. ( mill & baseline, Tempe location)

Ever since my mother and I wandered in to Opa Life one day we have been satisfied.Staff have always been friendly and still remain so to this day. Professional, polite, but personable. Feel like coming back one or two more times? Feel like being a regular? Theyll remember you.Having spoken with the owner on numerous occasions, all of their ingredients are organic, their pita is made fresh daily, and they boast some large portions sizes regardless of dish.They have a happy hour with local brew on tap with the option to rotate out for seasonal selections. They have a barista station, as well as a full bar in this coffee-liquor-cafe mashup -- I could not be more pleased.The flavor is always prominent. The smiles come aplenty. There is a manager for live music numerous times a week throughout each month. They have an outside seating area and wrap around patio.Its just one of those cozy places you feel like trying out in the neighborhood but turn out to be one of the better decisions made in your restaurant selections.Definitely try out their housemade baklava cheesecake or lunch specials. Want a quick bite? Greek Fries for those cheat days that remind us just why its so good to be bad.

Going to bed hungry! Very disappointed with the pick up service. We ordered gyro wrapped with Greek salad, lamb on the stick full rack so I get two sides. I dont like their lemon rice or fries so I asked for double order on the salad. Third order was gyro sandwich with Greek salad. When we got there, young men said they are trying to get out of there. I ask if we can eat inside; no unless you want to eat outside. We were given one bag when I saw two bags on the counter. I thought one of the two people Im with picked up the other bag. We get home. Gyro sandwich order was missing. I opened my container. Lamb was not done, place on top of my salad. Salad had no dressing. Salad was bloody. Common sense, you should never put rare meat on top of salad. I was couldnt eat the salad no dressing and meat still alive. We called but theyre closed. No suggestions on their end or apology. And I regret not taking my receipt. Terrible service and no customer service, food was terrible. I couldnt eat it. I was there the night before and the bartender was talking about a lady customer who tip her in coins and her long island ice tea. I thought that was rude, laughing about her with male customer.
