Spicy chicken gyro
Katie O.

I went in at the lunch Hour and ordered a spicy chicken gyro Togo with fries. The staff was friendly and served me promptly. The gyro was good although I didn't realize getting it spicy you didn't get the white sauce. I was disappointed but it was good none the less. The fries weren't as good as I would have hoped so I probably won't get those again but I will be back

Spicy Gyro Sandwich and French Fries
Eve R.

Went for lunch today and tried some new things! No wait, quiet/chill space, plenty of seating (outside, too, yay!) and friendly service. It's such a solid spot for a lunch, too, because it's a fair value for the quality of food you get. Today the Mr. got a spicy gyro and fresh cut fries all of which he said was really good. I got the lemon chicken rice soup and a side of falafel which came with pita, hummus, and cucumber pieces. It was all really good! I was in the mood for soup and that definitely hit the spot. The falafel were really great too, not overly dry like other places can be. We noticed someone else had a pasta dish that looked really good too. That might be next!

Gyro, fresh cut fresh and chocolate cake
Ellen M.

Pros: Convenient location at intersection of Sawmill and Bethel with parking Interesting Greek decor Large outdoor patio Gyro meat had nice flavor and I liked the sauce Cons: No table service; you need to order at the counter and pick up your food when they shout your name Didn't love the fresh cut fries though they sold it as "fresh". Had no seasoning whatsoever Not enough meat in the gyro Chocolate cake was dry Inside space is small Pro tip: This place has been around for a while and a staple in the area. That in itself is worth a visit.

Grilled lamb chops & Greek salad -- grilled buffalo wings -- food good-- service NOT SO Much !
Susan H.

The food is cooked to order -- however the tiered dark haired chick in the baseball cap is rude -- short and uninviting!! I orders $40 lamb chops with a side of garlic sauce --- she forgot it -- so I reminded her about the sauce then suddenly it's.50 . It should have been disclosed!!! I'm don't care to pay that .... I ask for utensils she tossed 2 forks and 2 napkins in the bag out of frustration ... CUSTOMER CARE MATTERS--- you will get good food but not good service!!

Fish Gyro
Anton K.

Panini Opa is not a fine dining experience. It is however a dining experience that offers well prepared traditional Mediterranean and Greek fare at reasonable prices. After checking on my rental properties, it was time for lunch. I like Greek cuisine and when I saw this restaurant on a major road in in northwestern Columbus , I decided to stop. I usually check social media and YELP before stopping. The restaurant has a long bar area serving mostly wine a beer. I ordered a draft beer called "Truth" ($6) for a 12 ounce glass. It was cold and tasted a lot like a Corona". The bar stretches most of one side while tables and chairs line the other side. There is also outside patio seating. I ordered the "Fish Gyro" ($11). It exceeded my expectations. The fish was moist with a lot of fish included while the other ingredients (lettuce, peppers, onions and a special sauce added to the excellent flavor of the panini. While I was there customers were coming in for their take-out orders. It seemed like this restaurant is a popular lunchtime option. That is always a good sign. If you can't be good, maybe you can be lucky.

I love coming into Panini Opa, it's such a great little cafe feel and the food cannot be topped. The chicken lemon soup is my absolute favorite but everything I've had had been excellent. Quality, well prepared meat, lots of fresh veggies, their bread is always super soft and warm, killer hummus. You really can't miss with anything. Great price point for a high quality, healthy, and relatively quick meal.

I'll be back! Everything about this place is good or great. I got the spicy Gyro. Each and every ingredient was fresh and choice. Service was friendly and helpful. The place has a fun vibe. The price is very good for what you get. I was taken there by friends and family who were already in love with the place and now I know why.

Appetizer sampler with hummus, tzatziki, and other dips, pita, and veggies
Dilara C.

Great food, great prices. My husband had the gyro and said it was the best he's had in a long time! I opted for the four dip appetizer with veggies. The tzatziki and hummus were my favorites by far. The place is cozy, bathroom was clean, and the location is great. I'm giving it five stars because I'll definitely be back and I have no complaints. BUT...there were a few things that confused me a bit. 1. Some food was served on dishes, some on paper plates. Disposable dinnerware, reusable cups. 2. Is this a fast food place? Fast casual? Upscale casual? The ordering setup is fast food. They call your food out and the register asks for a tip like a fast casual. They sell wine and have beer on tap like an upscale casual place. I really don't know. 3. They reserved a section of the restaurant, but they don't take reservations...? Anyway, I'll be back and next time I hope they have soup because it was sold out when I visited and it sounded good!

First time here. My coworker recommended we try it. It's a nice little restaurant. Well put together. She ordered a gyro and I ordered the portobello panini with fries. First off, I wouldn't order this again. It was flavorless. But don't let that discourage you from trying this place. I would be willing to try them again, I would just order something different.

Gyro and French Fries
Brianne C.

Had a great experience at lunch today - first time visiting Panini Opa after driving by daily for years. I ordered the gyro (requested no tomato) and French fries. Gyro was very good, the garlic sauce was delicious, plenty of feta and meat, and pita was warm, soft, and held the contents well. The fries had a yummy seasoning on them and were done well. Panini Opa has a freestyle Coke machine in addition to many bottles of wine available. You order at the counter and my meal was ready in about 5 minutes. More seating than I expected from the outside, including a whole bar with stools. The dessert case options looked amazing. I will have to try one on my next visit!

Would be 4-5 except employees reserve prime table and sit watching vids on high volume while patrons try to enjoy food and friends.

King Gyros Greek Restaurant - Salmon & feta Gyro

King Gyros Greek Restaurant

It's been a minute since I had a gyro and King Gyros was 7 minutes away from where I was working…read more I ordered the traditional King Gyro with fresh cut fries and a Greek Custard pastry. Generous portions for the King and just the right amount of onion. Some places go too strong with the onion. The standout was the sauce! Just had a nice garlicky zing to it. The fresh cut fries were a little greasy but still good. The sleeper was that Greek Custard tho. When you walk in you have a case of temptations staring at you. The custard got my attention. Cold and dense custard wrapped in filo dough then topped with cinnamon and honey drizzle. Dang. This thing played with my emotions. Just so good and sticky. I would make a trip here just for this. It all came to about $22 with a can of Diet Coke and it hit the spot. The gyro was in the top 3 I've ever had, the fries I didn't really care for, the dessert selection I would make a special trip for. Solid 4 Stars

Came to DC for work and my coworkers listed off a few places to go for food. King Gyros for Greek…read morefood was a high recommendation. We drove over for an early dinner before leaving. Stephanie was at the register and she was quite entertaining while taking my order. I don't usually eat Greek food so I wasn't sure what to expect. She guided me through the menu and made a suggestion of the lamb gyro as the one I should try with feta cheese. I took her word for it and got the king size. Supreme seemed rather large. The line started getting long and a fellow patron advised I get French fries as well. About 10 minutes go by and Stephanie calls my order. She also recommended I add the fry seasoning. Adding the fry seasoning is a must as the fries aren't much without them. Rather small portion size to me as well for the price. The gyro however is large but way to much lettuce. The sauce is good. Overall it's a cool spot. Stephanie was the highlight of the trip for me. It's a one and done for me but cool if you're into Greek food.

Ali made my experience exceptional from the moment I walked in. He greeted us right away with such genuine warmth and walked us through how everything worked since it was our first time. Throughout the meal, he checked on us multiple times without ever being overbearing. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations. The food was also superb. We got the lamb gyro, chicken Shawarma platter and French fries. Ali also gave us a few sauces to try out. Everything was delicious and not a scrap was left! I truly felt at home here - I'll definitely be back!

All utensils and plates and water are serve-yourself near the door. At lunchtime on a warm Saturday in spring they had a steady trickle of guests coming in. The person who took our order thanked us for supporting them. Food was quick and very fresh. I had 1/2 tabbouleh salad and za'atar French fries. The tabbouleh is more heavy on the greens than the grain which was a refreshing change to me. It was dressed in a bright, fresh lemony dressing. More than I could eat in one sitting. The French fries are maybe dipped in batter and fried. I'm not sure. But they are super crispy on the outside and fluffy inside - delicious. The ambiance is casual with various TV screens showing different shows and Middle Eastern music playing on the speakers. The interior is simple but warm and inviting with minimal but fun decor. While the prices are a bit higher than I would have expected, I could see myself returning for dinner.
