Editorial Review for Costas Opa Greek Restaurant – by Anna Roth
In Short
Clay pots and old-fangled instruments hang from the ceiling, a large mural of the Greek gods dominates one wall, traditional music plays on the sound system and the welcoming owners know frequent patrons by name--this spot feels like it's transplanted straight from Athens. Multi-level seating options include long tables and comfy booths. The menu offers enough souvlaki, spanakopita, gyros, moussaka, calamari and other Greek favorites to satiate anyone's inner Dionysus.

I have worked in Fremont for 24 years and have eaten here at least 200 times. I've never had a bad meal. The food is consistently good and some items (all salads, moussaka, baked chicken, hummus, melitzana salata) are among the best I've had. The service is dependable but not as friendly as one might like.

I really wanted to like this place. It's close to hope, Greek food is yummy, and bellydancing! Unfortunately, the food was so god-awful that I can't say anything but ewww. I ordered a gyro, figured I couldn't go wrong. The vegetable were canned and slopped over with some kind of nasty canned marinera sauce. They were uneatable. The potatoes were either bad or canned as well because they were tangy. Also uneatable. The gyro meat itself was dry, and pretty disgusting. On top of it being the single worst gyro I have ever had, it was also the single most expensive. Long story short, I expelled it. Maybe it was the rank vegetables, but I felt so ill when I left that I had to purge it. To be fair, I didn't take any peptobismal. I probably could have avoided the regurgitation if I had taken some peptobismal. So, this place isn't very good. Oh, and it was a Friday night, so it wasn't like it was a Wednesday afternoon and they had their "C" ranked chef. eww. gross.
Pros: bellydancing?
Cons: uneatable food
