I haven’t tried Opa yet. Was basing my comment strictly on online menu comparrison.
But I finally made it to Fat Greek for lunch the other day. Good, friendly service and traditional Greek decor. Appetizer Octopus was tender and tasty but the Gyros didn’t cut it. Any Gyro worth it’s salt needs to be made in house! Not only does Fat Greek use a premade, processed product, they advertise it with a bright sign over the kitchen (which is in all the photos). Gyros, donairs, & Shawarmas cannot all be made with the same interchangeable prefab meat product.

OPA!?…I am not greek…but last time I was there they were serving overpriced, bland, mediocre food at best. (check out johns pictures)…doesnt even come close to The Fat Greek as far as im concerned.

like to start of by saying the i am Greek and i know what Greek food is…trust me. Ive ate through the greek towns of chicago, new york, and detriot and have eaten at every greek restaurant in las vegas…as far as the flavor, freshness, price, hospitality, and service…your not going to find a Greek restaurant in las vegas or for that matter in America that comes close (for being a mom and pop operation)…although i agree the menu has its share of middle eastern influence… the most all greek specialties like the traditional moussaka and passticio are the best ive had…anywhere!…and the prices match.

As far as I can tell. Opa is the only place in Vegas that comes close.

I am with you Manos, the food looks great but Greek is Greek and it’s menus like this that cause the Xeni to not really know what Greek food is. There are so many wondeful Greek foods to choose from that straying is not necessary….

Why must Greek places almost always stray from truly Greek items? Babaganoush, Imam Bialdi, Falafal Plate, Tabbouli Salad, and on & on. Not Greek food! You don’t see Sweet & sour pork at Lotus of Siam

Dammit, another one on the West Side! I guess I’ll have to head out yonder to try this place when I’m back home. I’m sure I’ll be craving some good Greek food by then, and I’ll have to do a taste test to see how this matches up to the two Greek places by The Galleria.

My fiance and I are huge fans of Greek food, we’ll have to check it out. It looks and sounds wonderful!
