About Opa! Souvlaki

This is exactly the kind of commitment to quality, healthy-eating and friendly service that customers expect and appreciate. And it's why OPA! is so successful. OPA! was founded in 1998 in an effort to satisfy this demand for quality, 'to-go' Greek cuisine. Today OPA! is a leader in the "Fast Casual" food service category, having grown from 3 to 40 locations in just a few years.
