I recently visited Taverna Opa Orlando on International Drive for a birthday dinner with a group of approximately 12 people, and overall, we had a really enjoyable experience!
The service started off strong, although things slowed down a little toward the end. However, considering how busy the restaurant was, it was understandable. We spent approximately two to three hours there, and the food came out relatively quickly, especially considering the size of our group. The drinks were delicious, and let’s just say we definitely kept them coming!
One of the highlights of the evening was the entertainment! The napkin dancing was so much fun, and I especially enjoyed how the dancer interacted with the customers, encouraged everyone to participate, and made the birthday celebration even more memorable. It really added to the overall atmosphere and made the experience that much more entertaining.
Would I recommend it? HIGHLY! If you’ve never visited Taverna Opa, I think it’s worth experiencing at least once. While the dining experience may not necessarily be my personal go-to, I would absolutely consider returning to enjoy more of the bar scene, music, and entertainment.
Overall, it was a fun evening filled with good drinks, lively entertainment, and great birthday memories. I’m glad I had the opportunity to experience Taverna Opa!

Our whole family had an incredible dining experience. We stopped here after a long day in universal after reading such great reviews and we were BLOWN AWAY. hands down the best gyro I’ve ever eaten. Freshness, flavor and quality were out of this world. We will absolutely be back.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every visit to Taverna Opa is an experience, not just a dinner! The service is incredible every single time we come in. A special shout-out to our server, Andreas, who has taken care of us on multiple visits. His energy, warmth, and attention to detail turn a regular night out into a full-blown party, and we truly believe he's a huge part of why this place is so successful. The managers are always kind and accommodating, and they go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great time. And the food is fantastic: fresh, flavorful, and authentically Greek. If you're looking for a fun Friday night out or a place to celebrate any special occasion, we can't recommend Taverna Opa enough. OPA! 💃
The service was great. I enjoyed the look of the place. The food was good but not great.
Francisco es el mejor mesero que he tenido en mi vida!! El de verdad que nos dio la experiencia completa y se nota que AMA su trabajo! El mundo del servicio al cliente necesita más personas como francisco. Volveremos!
Stopped here for dinner with my family the night before going back home. We had high hopes. The atmosphere, staff, and entertainment were great. The food, however. The patitisio had no flavor. The pork souvalki portion was small for an entree and very overcooked. The flaming saganaki and mousaka were the best things we ate.
My favorite place!

Made a reservation, but when I showed up, could not find any host or server. Milled around the front of the restaurant for 10 minutes before a diner joined us in the front, trying to find someone to do anything. She told us it was probably pointless trying to eat there.
There was an employee having a conversation on his cellphone at the bar, doing his best to ignore everyone. Perhaps this is a simulation of Greece in 2009?

Bianca was a wonderful server. Very professional, great energy, and provided a lovely dining experience for our team. We will definitely be back to dine with her again when we are back in town.
Bianca was super friendly and provided excellent service. Very knowledgeable with a positive uplifting personality.
Stop scrolling bc u found the best place ever! The food was amazing! I don't even need to list it out bc no matter what u pick, u will be blown away by it all!!! But the food isn't the only reason to come here, the entertainment is also amazing!!! If u have something to celebrate and don't show up here, then u are missing out! The entertainment will stop u in ur tracks! I don't want to ruin the surprise but just know that u can dance on tables with professional belly dancers...and so much more!!! Add this to ur itinerary and thank me later!!!
Excellent service and amazing fresh tasting food! My new favorite Greek place coming from Las Vegas NV! Shared there is Belly dancing every night at 7pm! So good! Thank you Olivia for an amazing time and drinks!
Amazing service provided by everyone, especially Francisco. He was extremely welcoming, attentive and kind. We arrived today unexpected as we were to attend another restaurant (Baires grill) for my mother’s birthday celebration, but their service was horrible. Francisco and the Opa team turned my Mother’s special day around! The experience was so much fun, interactive and welcoming. We shared our experience with the team, and they ensured we had a fabulous experience and amazing view of the show!
Wonderful birthday night.
