Wow! I just love this place!! An authentic greek cuisine and ambiance, you are taken to a totally exceptional experience, giving the best greek menu and an amazing entertainment.. the staff is very elegantly dressed, professional and friendly. Just loved everything here..
Thank you 😊
Went here for Friday brunch - wasn’t expecting much as it is only priced at AED 350 with alcohol, and was pleasantly surprised! Great food, MUST TRY their lamb and seabass. Service was a little slow but they were fully booked to be fair and were doing the best they could. Would recommend this brunch to people that are looking for a good vibe & great food, not just the standard stale food and average cocktails that most of Dubai’s brunches offer for AED 500 and upwards.
Went with a few friends and it was a nice night out. The menu was a bit confusing. The plate breaking was a bit underwhelming but since we are still in the middle of a pandemic it obviously can't be at it's full potential.
Honestly I didnt expect that this place would be that busy to get but now I can tell u definitely the taste of the food was simply remarkable and tasty and they have many options for veg and non vegetarian dishes. We tried most of the ones listed in the menu and each of them was tasting wow. The server was having a good customer service (Sypros) as he assisted me selecting my fav cocktails and deserts.His genuine smile and kindness was displayed even though he was wearing the mask .Their tradition of breaking plates was super fun . Thank u opa for making our romantic dinner special 💖.

A place that will transport you to Greece with its garden like interiors, friendly staff and scrumptious food. I was here one weekday evening and had a "wow" experience . We were served by Angelina who made some excellent suggestions and ensured that we had a great experience throughout.
We got here early and in no time, the place was packed. The vibe of this place is so good and the ambience is absolutely lively.
We started the evening with a refreshing mocktail - the Demeter, a drink made with fresh cucumber, pineapple juice and apple juice. It was perfect and sweet.
It was then the starters galore. We had the Spicy Feta Dip that is a paste of feta cheese and roasted red peppers served with hot squares of freshly baked bread. There was also the absolutely fresh Greek salad with a huge chunk of feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, red onion and olives.
This was followed by the Lamb Kebab. This I tell you are much more than kebabs. Minced lamb kebabs wrapped in thin pita bread and topped with spicy tomato sauce and garlic yogurt, we finished them in no time. I am a seafood lover and what followed next was absolutely delish. The Marinated Tiger Prawns were perfectly smoked and garnished with fennel, tomato, dill, olive oil, chilli.
In the mains we had the Kleftiko, a chunk of extremely tender braised lamb shoulder that was cut with just a fork. Served on a bed of potato and feta mash and garnished with mint and onions, this is safely one of the best lamb dish I've had. We also had a salt baked Sea Bass fillet that was served on a bed artichoke puree and a crusted crushed green olive dressing. The fish was melting in my mouth.
We got to experience the Greek dance and also broke plates on the floor - a tradition to ward of bad luck.
The experience ended with a performance with the dessert. The dessert, a Chocolate Piato is a chocolate plate with honeycomb, ice cream, sour cherries, chocolate mousse and chocolate cookies. This chocolate plate was crashed onto a tray by Angelina and we relished it like no tomorrow.

What can you write about a restaurant which has become a stand out in Dubai with it's food, service, entertainment and decor. It is nearly impossible to get an impromptu reservation here and clearly there are reasons!!
The food is outstanding!! Every mezze (especially the Opa Hummus) is excellent, the mains are fantastic, the seafood and meat dishes are flavorsome and the desserts are lipsmacking. The entertainment factor with dances and smashing of plates just adds to the dining experience.
The Greek inspired interiors of the restaurant are tasteful and reminiscent of their culture. The service is really attentive and to the point. It's my revisit place that I never get tired of and one of the rare places that gets a 5 star rating from me!!

What an experience this was, we walked into an atmospheric restaurant with ancient greek vibes. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly and accomodating always around to assist us when we needed them. We trusted our waiter with his reccomendations and asked for the bestselers in their menu. We was blown away by the tuna tartare which hands down was the best tartare we tasted. We were served some fresh greek pita which were hot and soft along with our custome made Opa hummus which our waiter took time and care to prepare. He asked us what we would like in it in terms of spices and garnishes. It was served with a layer of thin meat at the top that had a crispy smoky taste, absolutely delicious. We devoured our fresh greek salad that was perfectly marinated in spice. Our mains included some lobster orzo as well as meat, we enjoyed both of them although being spice lovers we prefer a tad of chili in our lobster dish. We waited for our lemon cheesecake dessert with some Opa entertainment as we smashed plates and joined in the greek dancing. The dessert was decadent and light not having a strong lemon flavour which was perfect for us. We loved the whole experience at OPA and would definitely recommend it.

OPA at Fairmont Dubai is the most beautiful restaurant I’ve visited. The moment I stepped out of the elevator, I was greeted by the lush green décor. The entire area from the entrance to the reception desk was fully covered and decorated with bougainvillea flowers. The main hall area looked amazing in white and blue color theme - It was magical!
OPA is a Greek restaurant that serves scrumptious food. The word OPA is an expression for celebration of life. As part of Greek culture, the word OPA is said during breaking of plates in restaurants to praise the performers.
This Greek traditional show of smashing plates to the floor was fun and thrilling to watch. All guests participated in smashing the plates on the floor. People then gathered up and joined shoulders to dance with the music – the entire hall was filled with immense energy and smiles on faces.
OPA was not just fun but also great in terms of food quality. Every dish was full of flavor and well presented. I was served with a bread with Spicy Feta DIP, Greek Salad, Lamb Kebab, Peinirli Cheese, Fried Calamari, Kleftiko and Grilled Baby Chicken. The succulent lamb kebabs here are famous for a reason, they were unbelievably juicy and tender. I loved both the main course dishes, specially the chicken, it is definitely a must try.
They prepared a spectacular massive Baklava Sundae which turned all eyes towards my table. It was so artistically prepared that I didn’t even want to ruin it. The base cup was filled with pistachio cream, pieces of baklava and icecream with topping of caramel sauce and smashed pistachio. It was heavenly and enough for at least three persons. It made my evening at OPA even more special.
Fantastic food, amazing service and incredible fun-filled show made my dining experience at OPA one of the best in Dubai
Simply best restaurant in town
Best Greek restaurant EVER!! !! I celebrated my birthday here. And it was mind blowing. Loved everything bit. The food is soo soo good! The traditional show with breaking of the plates is just amazing. It's a must go place for any occasion. I can't wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu. You will LOVE IT! oppa!
Beautiful place, amazing food and the show is so much fun !!
Loved the food especially the grilled halomii and the spinach pie highly recommended
A must to visit reaturant .. i strongly recommend for a group of friends .. can be a place to celebrate an occasion ..
Online reservations should be available
One of the best experiences from food to dance to service .
Overall it’s an experience to remember.
Opa brings a little Greek vibe into Dubai. It’s lively, colorful, and full of energy.
The decor is stellar, and they’ve taken care of tiny little details which contribute to the restaurant’s personality.
The staff is quite friendly. They have a small dance show by the tables in the entrance of the venue which is cool. Also, for the wild one, they’ll provide you with plates which you can smash on the floor.
Now, let’s not forget the fooooood! It was quite good. The spicy feta cheese is flavorful, their raw fish fresh and yummy, grilled octopus was stellar.
I tried many of their seafood dishes and I was happy with all of them. Enjoy the dinner and experience!
If you wanna gather with your friends and have so much fun, here is the place 🕺🏻💃🏼. I tried chicken with roasted veggies which was good 👌🏼 steak 🥩 wasn't the one i expected 🙃. But their salads are really tasty and my favorite part was flaming sagaki cheese 🤤👌🏼. The best choice for the dessert is the breaking chocolate plate 😋. The food was 6/10 for me but the ambience and the greek show, which is dancing and breaking plates making this place fabulous ! Friendly staff and very good service 👍🏼. 9/10 for the whole experience.

The service was the best I have experienced in a long time. The staff is very friendly, all of them. They ask you nicely if they may make the next move. They explained the concept of throwing the plate and when it shall be done.
I usually start with the ambience of the location, but the service was on a different level, so I had to. Anyway, the place is beautiful, so many flowers. There is a bench you can sit on to take photos with your friends or loved ones.
The dishes were saved as requested, appetisers then main course then dessert; although our server asked if we want whatever is ready, which I refused. Their dishes really make you full easily, so you better come with nothing in your stomach since the lunch. (We ate around 20h). We were five ladies.
We ordered OPA Hummus, for the dips. It came with bread on the side. Some said it was a bit spicy, but I could not feel it. Anyway it tasted well, and the lamb added more beauty to the flavour for the tongue.
For the salad, we ordered OPA Salad. It was light, tasteful and the dressing was special but familiar.
As for the hot starters, we ordered Grilled Cypriot Haloumi. It was soft, easy to chew and enjoyable. Also, we ordered the Grilled Octopus. I love octopus a lot and I am glad I was not disappointed in this dish. The salad surrounding it, made it more delightful, but even alone, the octopus was excellent.
We ordered, for the main course, Lobster Orzo (150). It was enough for us, maybe because we ordered a lot of appetisers (although this dish was shared with four of us only). The orzo, which is a pasta that looks like rice, was very delicious. Having it with the lobster was superb. I loved the lobster alone, not going to deny that, but having them both together sent me to heaven.
Finally, we had the OPA Baklava sundae, for the dessert. Honestly, I did not like it a lot. I think it is the reason I could not give the restaurant five stars in zomato. It had its charms, but it did not fulfil my needs; I wouldn’t recommend anyone to get dessert from there, but it was good for the image.
Also, I must mention breaking the plates and the dance, is an important part to not miss. Try to stay there till they dance and dance with them.
I went with a group of friends and absolutely loved the ambience and decor of this place. The staff was incredibly friendly and funny! I order the steamed sea bass fillet. It tasted really good but didn’t look very appetizing as you can see from the image but that’s why they say don’t judge a book by its cover. They celebrated and wished my friends very nicely as it was their birthday. Additionally, the whole plate breaking experience was extremely thrilling, and the staff danced beautifully. The only thing I disliked a little bit was the lighting, it could be a little brighter in there!
Overall had a great experience, will visit again! A great place to go in a group or on a date! 😉
This place does deserve 5 stars! I had a great dinner with my friends there. The place takes you straight to Greece the minute you step in. It’s full of life and entertainment. The food was super delicious and the service was very professional. I can’t wait to go back again!!
a hidden gem, you will be transported to mykonos, the setting is so beautiful and island themed, complete with bricks walls, greek dancing, plate smashing, the entrance is very instagrammable! the food is super as well, try the tzatiki and the bread is addictive the gyors and halloumi were amazing!, service is great, the only downside, its very difficult to find a booking and once you do, you only have 2 hours!
Happy vibes I guess it's the right word to say about this Venue.. every1 is sooo happy and the place is amaizing good food and amaizing hosts .. our host Lili was so so soooooo much friendly and courteous.. all of them were amaizing .. I finished the food be4 u take a pic for it BUT I can assure u nothing will go wrong about this place .. I was lucky that I got table since I was n the waiting list but f u want my advice book a table couple of days ago.. prices are really reasonable comparing of the amaizing cuisines!
Opa made our night
Thier show and the DJ somethin dont miss guys
The place to go for delicious Greek food in an elegant and unique ambience. We went for the iftar and we loved the experience from the beginning to the end: WOW effect when you arrive as it feels like you are entering a secret garden, tasty and well presented food (iftar set menu includes several courses, each of them was delicious!) and nice and quiet atmosphere, with Greek music in the background. Great addition to the WTC/DIFC fine-dining scene!
A fun filled evening at the Greek restaurant. Besides great food, the plate smashing and Greek dancing was truly enjoyable. We shared a few starters including opa salad, halloumi, tuna tartare and humous. Then we went on to try the lamb pizza and seabass. I couldn’t fault the food, it was so tasty. Definitely a place to try if you’ve not been before.
A must try dining experience that takes you to the streets of #greece with authentic Greek dishes and a unique ambience. The must try are the #greeksalad #lambkebab #flamingsaganaki #kleftiko and the #baklavasundae . Skip the dips as they are good yet too small of a portion.
Don’t miss dipping the freshly served bread in the special #greekoliveoil sourced from #crete .
You can participate in the traditional breaking of plates that is done along with a performance of traditional greek songs and dances.
Really amazing place .. They showed us such a great time . Our server really trys best to serve us and to make our dinner best .. Very friendly ataff
Visited here with a group of girls on Friday evening. Everything from the food, ambience and entertainment was spot on. The only let down was the rude girls at the front desk - none of them greeted us upon arrival, nor smiled at any point. Shocking for such a well reputable restaurant. Management needs to provide them with training!
However, the food and entertainment made up for our first impression of Opa.
We ordered a selection of starters - hummus with meat, salad, feta fries, Greek fries, beef carpaccio & lamachun. For mains we ordered, the chicken tawook (a special not on the menu) and lamb chops. The portions were decent size.
The desserts baklawa sundai and walnut raspberry cake were delicious too.
Really amazing place! They showed us such a great time! First; our server Igor really went out of his way to make everything perfect for us. Second, the food was delicious! Had the 1kg fish, moussaka, spinach pie, kofte in pasta rolls, and so much more. Everything tasted great! I would recommend this place esp for a group outing. Entertainment was great, too!
staff very friendly at restaurant , in room dining and housekeeping .
special mention to Irfan at restaurant and his colleague Chakraborty , Nancy all good and very helpful
rooms are clean .I am regular on business trip . don't get time to visit bar or Gym or Spa . for business traveler its good . location also good

OPA is your go to ambiance and fun times new Greek spot. Entrance is beautiful starting from the elevator giving you a Greek feel and a flowery garden that’s quite instagrammable! It was annoying reaching out to reservations team a few times whether via operator/call assistance even on the way there to inform them we were quite late;however, the issue was raised on the day to the receptionist and I was immediately contacted by OPA’s Marketing Manager (whose name I forgot- apologies) regarding the concern and apologized for the inconvenience.
The place is very pleasant for a memorable and enjoyable experience with regards to the ambiance and entertainment (dancing & plate smashing). Food is good but not great. Quantities are great but flavors aren’t merely strong honestly.
Food ordered: Tuna Tartare, Tzatziki, Calamari, Fig & Walnut Salad, Flaming Saganaki & Feta Fries
Top dishes: Fig & Walnut Salad & Tuna Tartare
Dessert: OPA Baklava Sundae (didn’t get a chunky taste as it was shared with friends but was delicious & served very nicely).
Drinks: Didn’t try any but they look refreshing
It’s quite different for a spot in Dubai to involve their guests in fun and entertainment which OPA did with lots of fun dancing and plate smashing to watch and participate in.
Service was great and Konstantinos who catered to our table ensured everything was in place & we had a good time & pleasantly managed to extend our table slot for another half hour!
I’d go again for entertainment and drinks mainly next time.
I recommend everyone to visit this new restaurant its amazing. The ambiance is absolutely astonishing shout out to Dj Van damm and the professional staffs. Greece is here so come, visit dance on the traditional way. Food was delicious 😋. We were lucky to see Mr. Cuba gooding Jr there too. A night to remember.
Most go place in dubai
Unique experience
Very friendly and professional staff
Perfect place to take guests or just chill out with ur friends and colleagues
First of all, the interiors made me feel so close to Greece, the food was delicious and the prices weren't that bad. Note that you can only sit there for 2 hours which isn't bad. The best part was mix of Arabic/Greek music they play and then they perform their traditional Sirtaki dance with plate smashing. First restaurant in Dubai with such entertainment and beautiful interiors. Make sure to book well ahead of time as they are always fully booked.
Don't miss it if you're in Dubai. The food is delicious and it's super fun. You can feel the greek vibes, the moment you enter with the beautiful white and blue interior, greenery and bougainvillea all around you. You can dance to nice greek and Mediterranean music and break some plates. We tried: Tzatziki, Tuna Tartar, Grilled Cypriot Halloumi, Baked Feta, Calamari, Greek Salad, Orzo lobster Salad, Peinirli lamb, Grilled baby chicken and Feta Fries. The Orzo Lobster is my favorite.
Finally a place that has a soul to it, it is different and you absolutely must go. The service is the highlight of this place , we were not left for a second to even serve in our plates even though the place was packed.
Second the entertainment factor, the dancing show and plates smashing is new and entertaining.
Third the food is really good, i loved the desserts the most.
Definitely go but book way in advance as they are fully booked all the time
I ate a lot and paid 230 dirhams which is absolutely fair.
It was a great experience, the food was so delicious as well , staff are so friendly and they were happily serving their customers.. portion is small so keep in mind while sharing a dish
We had a feeling we’ll have a great evening just as we stepped out of the elevator, the reception area/garden sets the scene for a beautiful Greek evening. The service and food were just lovely! Traditional Greek dancing complete with plate smashing finished off the evening nicely :)
Not sure how some people decided that the food is not good or authentic
The service was excellent, our waitor Igor was super nice, funny and knowledgeable about each and every item on the menu including the wine.
The food was exceptional- my husbands family has lived in Cyprus for many years and I am also a big fan of greek food. Greek haloumi, saganaki, tuna tartar and the braised lamb shoulder were my absolute favorite!
The show was super entertaining too and I dont even want to start talking about the ambience.
For me, it felt like a small vacation to Greece!
Went their for my birthday
Great experience, lovely atmosphere
I felt that I am out of the city, in a lovely romantic place.
The show, the food and the dance all were perfect
Service is really good, hostesses were helpful and the servers were on point and helping everyone (not that helpful with the food suggestions though)
Menu dishes depends too much on yogurt (need to look more into that)
Not many variety options for appetizers and desserts
Good variety of drinks and main dishes
The show and the dance was lovely, give the guests a true experience - thats why i gave this place a 5!
New trendy Greek spot in Dubai. Very instagramable venue with delicious cuisine (the food is fantastic), entertaining (you will definitely enjoy Greek music, dance and plates smashing experience) and don't give a miss to their crafted cocktails (a true masterpiece). It is not cheap, but totally worth it. The vibe is great and service is very "not Dubai like" - with some charisma and professionalism
Once you step out of the lift you feel like you’ve been transported to a Greek island, this restaurant is beautiful. The food is pretty good too. The spinach pie is divine and so is the lobster orzo dish. Definitely worth a try!
