Tried this place for lunch on a Sunday afternoon - and it was so good. The hubs and I shared a Greek salad with chicken and a gyro plate with Greek fries, as well as the jalapeño cilantro hummus as a starter. Rizzy was by herself but she never made us feel neglected. Service was fast, and food was fast and delicious. This place is definitely on the list and we'll be returning soon. The place is split into a restaurant bar type. We sat in the bar area and watched the cardinal hame while we enjoyed the food. read more

My husband and I have passed this spot so many times and are so glad we finally stopped in! SO Many yummy menu options to choose from, it was hard to decide! I ended up getting a chicken pita, and my husband ordered the Hercules. The jalapneo hummus was amazing especially paired with the soft pita. We definitely will be back to try more dishes! read more

We've ordered here in the past and it's always been pretty good but the last couple times have just not been great unfortunately. We typically always get gyros and appetizers. We got one pita bread for hummus platter this time around and the meat was a ton of small pieces. unfortunately, we're gonna be taking a break for a while until we can find a different Greek place. read more

Opa Tempe has become a regular stop for me. Tonight I had the gyro plate with steamed veggies and baklava cheesecake for desert! The staff is great here and friendly. My waiter tonight was Christian. He always takes good care of me. He always temps me with the baklava cheesecake and I always cave and get it. It is absolutely wonderful!! It's becoming an addiction ! lol! The food is always delicious and the place is very inviting. The manager, Jacob is great and always takes time to chat with me. It has become my new favorite place to eat! I highly recommend this place. Great food great staff and deserts to die for!! read more

Good food, just a little pricey. I love their pizza and gyro and happy hours are definitely budget friendly.

Best fries ever. Love them. Delicious jalapeno cilantro hummus. Great service! Great for lunch or dinner

My wife loves this establishment, I ordered from here through door dash, However the door dash driver never delivered and slipped away with my meal. However, I ended up ordering from another restaurant. read more

This place was good. Busy for a Saturday evening. Clean. Bar type atmosphere and sitting for enough people to really enjoy themselves. Customer service was on point. Very helpful and informative about the menu. The lamb was a bit tough but tasted great. Love the Greek fries and the sauce on them. The hummus and pita were delicious! We also ordered the spanakopita app and that was delicious as well. All in all we had a good time for dinner. read more

Wow wow wow! First time here but for sure not the last. We split an Aegean club with Greek fries. Big enough for two and delicious. We also split some Greek egg rolls. We both loved the food and our server did a great job too. Looking forward to bring friends to come try it. read more

Opa Life Greek Cafe - Aegean Club with Greek fries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The food is good, not great... it's over priced. Very disappointed with the customer service. I ordered a full gyro plate and only received one small slice of pita bread with the meal, which already felt cheap considering the price. When I called politely to ask for additional pita bread, the employee named Alexa was rude and ended up hanging up on me during the conversation. Mistakes happen with orders, but the way customers are treated afterward matters. The lack of professionalism and poor customer service completely ruined the experience for me. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

We were in the neighborhood and this café was actually just next-door to where we were going. We totally lucked out! We both love falafel's and got the falafel pita. My friend Stacey got the regular one on the menu. I got the street one substituted the gyro for falafel. So yummy. It was perfect out of the last falafel Pets. I've tried over the years. I would give this a nine and we will actually go back there. But you cannot skimp and not get the baklava cheesecake. It was heavenly. read more

Loved the food. Gyro pita and Greek fries were amazing, also the Greek pizza. The service is a little slower due to there being only one waitress it seems read more

We walked in and immediately sat down. It was not too crowded because it was not a sporting event day. We ordered the gyro pita and the caprese pita. The portion size was good and the food came out quickly and they had football on all the tv's. Both pita's were good but it was quite expensive for what it is. rate: 7/10 price: $45 read more

Ordered out this evening from Opa. Have done it many times before And everything is so good. The sliders were good but shrimp souvlaki was good but the fries were leftover. Cold and soggy. Not crisp at all. Your food is usually is so good. Next time I hope. read more

We used to eat here quite a bit, but have come less and less. I discovered that their salad dressing is a combo of canola oil and olive oil. Part of the appeal of a Greek restaurant should be serving fairly clean Mediterranean food. A Greek restaurant that doesn't use EVOO does not fit that criteria, as Greek food is known for olive oil which is much healthier than canola oil. That makes me not sure what other ingredients would not really be part of a Mediterranean diet. read more

About 10 to 15 of us would meet there to practice our Spanish every Sunday at 4PM. Then one day a waitress stood right at our table and shouted loudly to someone, perhaps a co-worker. One of our lady members said, "Shoosh" to her. She told the manager & he told our "shoosh" lady to leave and she did. She returned the next week with us & the manager told her to leave again and she did. The manager and the shouting-in-our-ears waitress ought to be replaced!!! They're a pair of customer relations nightmares. Our meetup.com organizer has now moved us to SOMEBURROS at 101 E. Baseline, Tempe. read more

The food was amazing. It was reasonably priced. Service was ok but they are a smaller restaurant so that's not really a concern. The food makes up for it all tbh. read more

I eat here quite a bit with both family and colleagues. Nice casual atmosphere with good food and outdoor seating when the weather is right. The Avgolemono soup is fabulous. I'm trying to figure out how to replicate it at home because I love it. So bright and delicious. They also have a good selection of salads, bowls and classic Greek fare. The flaming cheese is fun and delicious as is the baklava cheesecake. Yum! I've always had good service and good experiences. read more

Update: No response to my email as of today 11/21/2024. I'm not surprised. Will be disputing with my bank. Don't bother with this restaurant! Edit: Just got home and realized they did not pack my Baklava so I called for a refund. Before I could tell them what I was missing they already knew. They tried to offer me a credit, funny as I previously had already decided not to return. I explained I was requesting a refund as I would not be returning. I was given an email address ? I have to email 'someone' for a $9 refund ... I'll update again. I used to order from Opa Life Greek Cafe regularly on DoorDash, and their food was always pretty solid - tasty even though it's a bit on the expensive side. They're also pretty good with getting my modifications right, which I appreciated. But today, when I ordered takeout directly from them, they added a $1 to-go fee. For a place that's already on the pricier end, it feels unnecessary and, honestly, a bit frustrating. I don't play with my money, so this extra charge is a deal-breaker for me. Sadly, I won't be ordering or eating from here again. read more

I don't know why this place doesn't have 5 stars on Yelp. This is by far and away the best Mediterranean food I've ever had, and top three best places I've ever eaten! Tucked away in a quaint strip of shops, it's a hidden gem that I hope more people find out about so it never goes away. The pita? Made by angels. The roasted garlic hummus? Crafted by the hands of Zeus himself. The Caprese pita? I think I saw Mt. Olympus on my first bite. Do yourself a favor and just go. Now. read more

Some of the best flaming cheese and potatoes I have ever eaten! The wonder Angie was so helpful! Will be back for sure!

I ordered the lemon soup and I got lemon rice. Very disappointed. Lately I've had just bad experience with this place.. For example I was in the car on the way to opa and my 2 year old was having a terrible time.. because he was hungry tired etc. parents know what I am talking about. So I thought let me order now so I will not wait for the food. I called and this woman is complaining about my son my too loud. I am sorry, what?! You don't think I know that? You don't think I hear that...? You could've say I am sorry I didn't get that can you repeat? The place is going down. read more

First time visiting, and I came with a group of 13 co-workers. I ordered the gyro plate with a Greek salad and Greek fries. The service was quick despite having only one server. She was very attentive and the drinks stayed full. The food came very quick and was delicious. The price was worth it as well. I'd come back. read more

Opa Life Greek Cafe - Gyro plate with Greek salad and Greek fries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Local institution! Opa Greek Life Cafe is a neighborhood restaurant. Seating inside and outside patio. I was first introduced to it about 3 years ago, but haven't been back since only because it's not close to where I live. But I've never forgotten this place. Today I knew I was going to be nearby, so was able to finally revisit. There were customers filling about 5 Tables inside, and a couple groups outside. Service was friendly and fast, I had my food within 7 minutes of sitting down! I ordered an unsweetened black tea, a HALF gyro platter with garlic hummus for my side, and added a small Greek salad. The portion for a HALF Plate is pretty substantial. The tzaziki is so fresh! The pita is soft and fluffy. Very pleased with service and food, so glad to come back to Opa, and recommend! read more

The recent rave reviews have let me down. Ordered to go on a Wednesday evening. The cashier was sweet and attentive. There is a sign on the front door, as well as on the menu that states they have raised prices in the forms of a "Temporary inflation fee" and "Credit Charge Surcharge," however, these fees will be going away as of 8/1 (Prices may be modified to offset some of the inflation). The temporary inflation fee was $1.94, the credit card surcharge was $1.29, and the to go surcharge was .75, for a total of $3.98 in extra fees. Which is not the end of the world, and I'd be fine with paying, if the quality were on par. The chicken, although seasoned well, was dry. Hard to forgive when it's the primary ingredient in your wrap/pita. The seasoned fries weren't seasoned, were a touch overfried, and rather expensive for $6. The salad ingredients were fresh and the hummus was quite good. Overall, maybe we'll try Opa Life again; maybe it was one off with the chicken? In the meantime, there's plenty of other Greek spots! read more

So far we've only tried the food via takeout, and it was a pleasurable experience to say the least. The staff was kind, polite, and very attentive. The food came out fast, literally probably within seven minutes of entering the door- and that's including the time we took to decide what we wanted! So we got home and everything was delicious! I had my friend do a blind taste test to see which pita I preferred (normal vs GF), as I'm really trying to stick to a GF diet without sacrificing some of my favorite dishes, and this place did not, and I mean, did not disappoint!!! I ended up liking the gluten-free pita, even more surprisingly! I'm pretty picky when it comes to gluten-free anything and they knocked this one out of the park. The only thing I can think to complain about is that I didn't get enough Taziki, and that was totally on me because the lady taking our order made an effort to come out and ensure that our order was right and showed us the food itself, walking us through what each dish was, and repacking our bag for us. Great size place with a decent size bar and multiple TVs. and cute little patio as well! Will be back for sure! Yetzi and Amanda amazing! Angie is super sweet too the owner! read more

We had a really nice lunch here on Saturday! I have had a hard time finding a Greek place that has Salmon- and ta da, this place popped up in my search. I had the Greek salad with salmon (make sure to get the Tzatziki sauce too, this is what makes it great) and hubs had a half a gyro platter. Both dishes were very good. Service was friendly and efficient as well. They appear to do a huge 'to go' business as the kitchen was crankin' out order after order. Oh, and we will be back for happy hour; $3 margaritas! read more

Always pleased with food we order for take out. Their jalapeño hummus is so yummy. The chicken is also marinated so well. Highly recommend.

The food was so delicious! The chicken was seasoned and perfectly cooked.. so tender! It was my first time trying the lemon chicken soup, it was different and I don't have any complaints about it just not my favorite. The pita bread and jalapeño cilantro hummus was some of the best I've had! Lemon potatoes were tasty & creamy! We also had Tiziki sauce.. yum! The service was great! The inside was clean and they also had a nice selection of outdoor seating. read more

I love, love, love the food here! This has been my GO To place for Greek food and I often get it several times a month! I love the Athenian spaghetti with the shrimp and I add chicken to it too! My wife loves the Greek salad with gyro! We really love the Greek charcuterie board and it's much better in-restaurant (it feels like a whole experience) when ordering in! The cheese is Soooooo good! We have had some amazing servers too! They are friendly, great with putting the order in correctly, and make it an even better experience! read more

GREAT GYROS! I love this place! I just give a 4 star because I feel like the other location in Westgate is a bit better, but I've only been to this location once. The gyro meat here is great! Gryos are the most important part of Greek food, so you gotta get that down to have a good Greek restaurant! I usually get a Greek salad and add gyro meat, it comes out to $14 which I feel is a bit pricy, but worth it. I just wish it came with more tzatziki sauce for the price! The fries here are oh so good! Very crispy and have a nice breading. Get the Greek fries for sure if you want to spice them up. I'll have to come try this location again sometime, it just didn't hit the same spot that the other location does for me! read more

Pretty good food. Kind of pricey for the amount of money per dish, though. I'd recommend Lebanese Palace over Opa Life, honestly.

We went here because they offer Saganaki which is difficult to find (see photo). The saganaki was right on. All the options on the menu were very good (many photos of menu already posted). The greek burger was great, a burger with gyro slices on top, what could be better than that (see photo)? Gyro and chicken souvlaki were good as well. For the side we substituted hummus which was an additional $2 but worth it for everyone to test out. Solid Greek Mediterranean food. read more

The food here was average, and the service was, at least on this visit, terrible. We ordered a Greek salad, cheese pizza, and a Kabab plate. We waited an inordinate amount of time to place the order, and longer for the food. The pizza seemed like it could have been better if it were actually hot, and not luke warm. The Greek salad was mediocre, compared to offerings from competitors. My wife stated she was not a fan of the kababs. Also, after reviewing the bill, I noticed a surcharge for using a credit card. I inquired about this, and the server sheepishly informed me that there was a new POS system, and she was not familiar with it. Apparently, this was a surcharge that was applied to all credit card sales, so I elected to pay cash. I feel all staff should inform patrons of any charges of this nature prior to paying the final bill. read more
