    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

    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

    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

    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.

    We made a trip here because it's a DDD which means Guy Fieri ate here. Pulling into the lot, I knew…read morethere was a lot going on as there is a lot of decor. They are proud to have been in the show as they should be. There are so many choices. We got the dolmades, a gyro and some calamari. We also got rice pudding and a pecan baklava to go. The greeters were very friendly offering up suggestions for our order. Neat little place with a whole lot going on inside! Even has Guy painted on the back so don't miss him!

    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

The owner also checked with us to see how our food was. The baba ghanoush, hummus and bread were an awesome choice for starters! The baba ghanoush is the best we have ever had!

The rice was excellent and we loved the red cabbage, pickled turnips, red onion, pickle and tomato that came with the entrees!

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.
