Zorba’s Opa

Went here during the summer with a friend. We sat outside, had quick service and the food was delicious. Was my first time there and I’ve been planning to go back ever since.

Ordered here before and the gyros were decent so we called in an order the following Sunday. They totally gave us a bunch of stuff we didn’t want and charged us double what we were expecting. We had to run all the way back even though we were starving and were treated very rudely like we were idiots. Really don’t need this on a Sunday night and we won’t be returning.

One of my favorite greek places, never disappointing!

I am so very happy that I found this little very authentic Greek restaurant! From now on it will be my regular place to go to any time! It’s family owned and everything is delicious and fresh! The tzatziki was the best thing I’ve ever had and the lamb was to die for. I can’t wait to go back.

I had dropped off my motorcycle at the Cycle Center for an inspection and I was on foot.
From traveling this way a lot, I had seen their restaurant and really wanted to try it. I popped in at 12:30, lunchtime, and found a nice table at the front. They were half full, which is a good sign.
My hostess/​waitress was very cute and nice. She spoke with an accent which is another plus.
I ordered a falafel sandwich with greek fries, and a side greek salad. It arrived in about 8 minutes and it was all delicious.
The greek salad had a bit too much dressing, but it was flavorful and fresh, with the lettuce crisp and good bite. There were a few olives and some tasty feta on top.
The falafel sandwich was sitting on a pillow-​soft pita, with fresh veggies, tangy tiziki with a pad of cheese. The falafel was crispy and tasty.
Loved it. Will be back, since the wife was upset she didn’t get to go. ;-)
Thanks for a great experience.

Delicious, authentic Greek food. Quick service and very accommodating with dietary concerns. BYOB too!

I used to frequent this place a lot when I lived in the area. I ordered a gyro sandwich today and I was appalled when I opened the container once I got home. Not only did the price go up (used to pay $ 7.5, now it’s $ 9), but the size of the gyro and amount of fries had shrunk significantly from a year ago. There was barely any meat in the pita but there was plenty of lettuce (some of it stale). If you’re gonna charge NY prices, then you better deliver high quality NY food. Disappointed and will never return!

Delicious food here! Pass by this place often and wish I stopped here sooner! Ordered chicken gyro platter first then came back next day to try the sandwich. The pita was fresh and soft, the chicken also tender. Delicious! Glad to have found this gem close to home. Great alternative to heavy fast food. Looking forward to trying the seafood here next.

I’d love to tell you about the food, but I walked out. I’ll never return to find out, either.
My husband checked the website and saw that this place was open until 10. We heard good things about the food, so we thought the 30 minute drive from our house would be worth it. We got to the restaurant at 9:05 and we were ignored which was super awkward because there were no diners in the restaurant, but the waitress was right there and an older guy behind the desk. He saw us standing there and ignored us. After about 3 painful minutes the waitress stopped cleaning, didn’t acknowledge us, and waived us to a tiny table in the corner with a couple of menus. My would-​be chair was under a florescent sign that competed with my head for space. I asked if we could sit somewhere else (in the EMPTY restaurant, where I would be able to sit up straight, not hunched). The old guy behind the desk addressed us immediately for the first time since we walked in, «She’s cleaning the rest of the room. We close at 10!» It was 9:10 at that point. I said, «Wow, business is that good, that you can turn people away, huh?» He ignored me and we walked out.
Screw you, Zorba’s.

My husband and I arrived at Zorba’s around 9:30pm on a Wednesday, they still had the «open» sign flashing outside as well as 1 large party inside the restaurant. When we walked in, we made eye contact with the hostess/​waitress and she kind of just stared at us and didn’t greet us nor welcome us in so my husband decided to ask her if they were still open and she nodded and finally told us we could sit where ever.
It also took quite a bit of time for the waitress to come around and take our drink order as well as our food order. I ended up getting the pork souvlaki pita sandwich which comes with greek fries and my husband ordered the lamb gyro platter and that came with a greek salad and lemon potatoes. The food arrived pretty quickly and everything was alright. The lemon potatoes definitely left something to be desired.
Overall, I wasn’t exactly pleased with the customer service and the food wasn’t as fresh or as comparable as to some of the Greek/​Mediterranean around Lansdale/​Hatfield. Maybe we came here on an off night, who knows… but so far I think there’s definitely better options for Greek than Opa in the immediate area.

I know this place has pleased many people and the food was decent but BE WARY when you go here. My wife got a chicken gyro and could have choke on a sharp bone in the pita. They completely disregarded it and made us pay full price. The waitress was obnoxious and hardly spoke a word of English, and the man cooking it laughed when my wife showed him the chicken bone. Go to Yannis or Main St Pizza in Lansdale or the gyro restaurant in Q Mart if ur looking for a good gyro. Also Red Lion Diner in Horsham makes a phenomenal gyro but its about half an hour away. Just skip this place they don’t deserve the business.

Had a fantastic experience a Opa recently and couldn’t wait to post my excitement on Unilocal!This small gem is tucked away in a strip mall on Rt 309 that is easy to miss. I hope that you don’t miss this wonderful dining adventure… The décor is simple, the menu is replete with mouthwatering dishes and the service is top notch. You will love the seafood, the lemon soup, the authentic Greek specialties and the scrumptious desserts. And, best, the prices are VERY reasonable. Don’t miss this outstanding dining experience. Highly recommended!

Zorba’s Opa catered my son’s graduation parties and everyone loved the food. I ordered gyro which came sliced in a large container which I kept warm in in the oven until serving. I also got plenty of Greek pita (delicious), tzatziki and lemon potatoes. My guests loved it andit was so convenient!

We stop here any time we’re in the area. Love the falafel sandwich, if I decide to order something else instead, I always get one to go! The staff is always friendly.

Opa is a great place if you’re looking for authentic Greek food. The owners and staff are really nice. The fact that it’s a BYOB is also appealing. The calamari is delicious! A good appetizer for a group is the tzatziki or hummus. The soups (lentil and lemon chicken) are also good in summer or winter. For entrees the pastitsio, papoutsaki (stuffed eggplant), and Mediterranean chicken or shrimp are tasty. The vegetable platter is great for sharing. I’ve been here with vegetarian friends and they’re normally surprised at how many options they have from the menu. Also, their lunch is good too. All in all, Opa is a pretty cool place because you can sit in and have a nice dinner if you choose, get gyros to go, or anything in between.

Vegetarian Review
I wanted to like this place, but it fell way short.
I ordered a bunch of different vegetarian items from the menu for take out. Nothing seemed really fresh. The eggplant and stuffed tomato were 100% made previously and microwaved before packed away for me. (I could see it).
Flavor was ok, but Mediterranean food that isn’t fresh? Pass on this one friends.

This is a small Greek place that I stumbled upon via Unilocal.I live in the montgomeryville area so food options are either crappy chain joints or crappy fast food so once we found out about this we went immediately. This place is a breath of fresh air to be honest. The food was great, awesome and fresh. Nothing frozen or canned. All
Made basically in front of you, cooked to order. The calamari were awesome. Crispy yet tender .The mix grill platter can feed an army and was delicious. Overall the food was 5 star worthy, only knocking a point off for OK service. Wasn’t bad, just not as friendly as one would expect from a mom and pop joint that makes it’s living on repeat business. That being said, if u are in the area def. give it a try, the gyro is huge and awesome.

Was looking to have something different for lunch today and decided on Opa which I had stumbled into a few months ago for dinner. The dinner had been delicious, but the 25 minute drive put the spot off my normal radar.
I had a Falafel and Greek Salad, which came with pitas. The serving size was enough to take half home, which I finished off for dinner. There were 4 falafels which were very tasty and the salad was equally enjoyable.
My wife had a gyro and French fries. She remarked about the wonderful taste after her first bite, and this was confirmed by her finishing it completely, which rarely happens at a meal. The French fries were also very good, cooked to the level requested – we’ll done.
The waitress was very pleasant and efficient.
I’m sure I’ll rethink the driving time as it is not usual to have such enjoyable food twice in a row.
A bonus besides the fresh, good tasting food was the total bill, including tax, being under $ 20.00.

A little off putting from the outside… But an adorable small café style dining room on the inside. This place should be on the Main Street in Skippack or Lansdale and it would be much more approachable. It’s a BYOB worthy of a casual weeknight out.
We were brought a yummy plate of pita bread and an olive tapenade alongside our Pinot Grigio. Then for our appetizer… The saganaki flambé. Delicious pan fried cheese with a cognac flambé. I recommend squeezing a fresh lemon wedge over the cheese for that extra oomph.
Lastly our entrees… Falafel with tsaziki and lemon potatoes were yummy… While my boyfriend had the mosxari stamrias. A slow roasted type beef over orzo and tomato sauce. We were thoroughly impressed by this unassuming place off of busy 309.
Definitely worth a try if you like Greek food!

Many Greeks own diners, and I’ve often found that the best food on the menu at a Greek owned diner is… the Greek food! I learned to love gyros and slouvaki and moussaka at diners, so I’m always excited to find a stand-​alone Greek restaurant that extends/​expounds upon that food base.
Zorba’s is just such a place. The atmosphere is pleasant. It’s typical Greek, lots of blue and white, and comfortable and bright. It’s only a few weeks before Christmas, and even though we made a reservation my wife and I didn’t need it. Plenty of available tables. Not a big crowd… they were probably at Chili’s or Applebee’s. Too bad for them.
We started with some falafel and house-​made tzaziki, crispy, hot and delicious. Not fat balls but flattened, which means more crispy surface to enjoy.
I had the mixed meat entrée, which had chicken, lamb, pork, and beef. I was feeling carnivorous and this pile of meat, pita, and a nice side salad with plenty of feta was a winner. Lemon potatoes on the side were awesome, and while there were only 3 wedges it was plenty given the mountain of meat I got, all cooked perfectly. I especially liked the crispy slices of lamb gyro.
My wife had a classic chicken gyro, which was really tasty. It came with a side of Greek-​seasoned French fries.
We finished with a healthy wedge of the house-​made baklava and I had a Greek coffee… so strong and sweet it was a dessert all on its own. I love Turkish and Cuban coffee, and now I’m adding a hot shot of the Greeks stuff to my home brewing lineup. Just remember not to suck down the thick grounds at the bottom of the cup… I spotted them just in time.
I would definitely come back for more. I’m sure it won’t be long until I need another fix of the feta… still need to try the dolmadas, and about 20 other things on the menu I didn’t have room for.
