Opa Opa Greek Restaurant in Rother

We visited on a Saturday evening on a recommendation and were not disappointed. Great food and service. Nice atmosphere - busy but just right.

We recently ate at Opa Opa on 15th October and were absolutely delighted with the food and the very friendly service. We are vegetarians but found a lot of choice on the menu. The tirokafteri that we had as a starter was really delicious as were the pleurotus mushrooms; gigantes and goat cheese salad that we had as mains. The baklava for dessert was divine. We rounded the meal off with coffee and delicious ouzo. When the waitress discovered that the day was our wedding anniversary we were presented with two more shots of ouzo on the house! Very authentic Greek restaurant, good atmosphere, centrally located and reasonably priced. We recommend highly.

I wouldn’t call this authentic Greek food being Greek myself The portions were very small served with a lot of chips to make it look bigger The DOLMADAKIA seem to have come from a tin heated up in the microwave but was still cold in the middle but very soggy on the outside the Loukaniko was definitely not authentic Greeks sausage that seem to have been a Frankfurter put on the grill maybe if you’ve lived in Hastings or Bexhill all your life you would think that was authentic, but it’s definitely not and the prices aren’t cheap either

Sorry nothing authentic about this place. Wish I'd taken pics as looked nothing like the other reviews. Straight out the freezer! Greek salad was a salad garnish with lettuce, no olives or feta. Very disappointing

Wonderful restaurant with a really authentic menu. Greek salad was amazing but nothing can compare to the sharing platter. A great selection of meats, delicious dips and fantastic service. Worth noting that there are no draft beers on tap, just bottles, but a full range of drinks none the less. The restaurant is also spotlessly clean, with brilliant decor. A real local gem.

The Greek salad was fantastic. I've never ate a better one before. The dips with bread were delicious too. My wife was totally happy with the wine & my bottled beer super. Sadly for us, we live too far away to visit here regularly, but the next time we are in the near... ..."We'll be back". Many thanks for a wonderful evening 😊

Tried Opa Opa for the first time with my girlfriends. Lovely welcome. Service was a little slow. Food is really good, good prices, quality ingredients. Would recommend and will return.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good food

Beautiful light and airy venue, phenomenal food, we had sharing platter for two to try everything. Drinks were mixed well. Venue clean Team fantastic

Fabulous Greek restaurant, great food and lovely service

Great food, great service & great value.

Where to begin, food was exploding with flavour, price was very reasonable, staff were polite, to me and waiting time was quicker than McDonalds drive through. The portions looked small but were the perfect amount of filling where you were satisfied you didn’t want more to eat but you weren’t waddling to the car with anticipation of undoing your belt to breathe. My only complaint would be ive never eaten Greek food before and ordered the Opa Opa Special, reading this I thought the Mixed Lamb & Beef meat Kofte were 2 separate things. I was abit confused when my meal came out and there were 2 Koftes on my plate I thought the lamb was missing, I did question this to the waitress and asked “is this the lamb or the beef?” thinking I was missing one, she looked at me and agreed with me which didn’t really answer my question. I then realised it was a lamb and beef Kofte, not really an issue but communication was a tad dull. The table opposite mine had a few issues which the way Opa Opa resolved it left me questioning if I’d come back. The lady at the table ordered Chicken Souvlaki which comes with 2 chicken skewers. She went to put salt on it using the salt grinder and the lid came off pouring salt all over her meal... shame really. She notified the waitress who explained how a salt grinder works to her like she didn’t already know, she probably meant well but you could see the lady was feeling a bit patronised and rightfully I would have too, it did come across sarcastic like saying “it’s a pull door” to someone who pushes it (No S*** Sherlock). The lady explained it was just a loose lid and she was left to her demise, eventually another waiter came over and offered to swap it out and she accepted politely. Upon getting her new meal the chips were brand new, but the two chicken skewers she sent back came back as one and a half skewers. Turns out the chicken skewers were not replaced the kitchen tried to remove the salt (by scraping it off she described by the looks of it) and removed half a skewer. She questioned this to them and they insisted that it was all brand new when you could clearly see it wasn’t. In the end of trying to eat it she couldn’t hack the saltiness of it, one last time she called the waiter over to take it back, she finally was defeated by the salty content of her plate explaining politely to the waiter its still too salty and sent it back. They offered if they could get her anything else but she politely declined, I could see the frustration in her face and her partner looked like a really grumpy Colonel Sanders, safe to say they probably wouldn’t leave a good review. You shouldn’t offer to do something then not really do it. After we finished our meal we looked at the pudding menu and the options were Churos, Cheesecake (neither which are really Greek), Baklava and Kataifi, after reading what these two pastries are, the conclusion was it’s the same thing really. Unfortunately, the only thing about the menu that had any variety was the drinks menu. To sum this up, id probably go back there if I fancied but I wouldn’t be beating people back with a stick climbing though a window to get in first.

Food was excellent and reasonably priced. We had a shared starter, 2 mains 2 puddings and were surprised to see the bill was under £55! Lovely cosy restaurant. We only gave 4 stars in service as we were left waiting a while between courses/not offered more drinks/plates cleared etc it was a very busy Friday evening in there though so we have assumed they were under pressure.

Had lunch here and it was a really lovely place all round. Great food and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant very clean and very nice decor. The toilets are very good!! Always a good sign. Food was spot on, only negative was I was hoping for souvalaki wrapped in pita and it was just sliced pita. Still very good

Delicious food, fantastic service, relaxing atmosphere. Really enjoyed our meal here and will be returning soon

Lovely food and excellent service

Nice restaurant, good food, service could be a bit faster, otherwise very nice.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and we must say, it was an experience to remember. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff, setting the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. The service was flawless - attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Every dish that graced our table was a masterpiece. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly fresh, showcasing the best of Greek cuisine. Each bite was a burst of flavor that left us wanting more. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, with a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. We wholeheartedly recommend Opa Opa to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Delightful airy bright space. Delicious, very fresh food. Lovely staff. Will definitely return ! Bravoooo ♥️

Really nice Greek restaurant in Bexhill. Great food and reasonably priced.

Pure perfection everyone was magnificent food was excellent 6 stars

Fabulous evening meal for four of us.

19.50 for fish not nice just a poor salad with it supposed to have new potatoes did not see any and very noisy

First visit what a nice place to eat very friendly staff giving great service with very good food we will be returning

Lovely little place. Good food, good service, good atmosphere 👌🏻

Have eaten several times and recommended to my guests, all highly rate it.

The food was fine but the decor really lets it down with the neon signs and fake insta flowers vibe. Would be so much cuter if like a greek taverna. Didnt understand the wicker cactus?! It just doesnt feel greek at all.

Wow. I am a huge Greek food fan and can confidently say this is one of the best Greek meals I've had in the UK. The menu has a fantastic variety of traditional Greek food, catering well for veggies. We had stuffed vine leaves and fried courgettes to start which were fantastic. I had the chargrilled oyster mushrooms as a main and it's one of the best veggie dishes I've had. Two starters and two mains came to £40. You'd easily pay twice that in London for this quality! Will definitely coming back!

An excellent restaurant. Decent portion sizes, beautifully served. Interesting menu, attentive staff. We will definitely be back.

Just visited this restaurant with family, delicious food and staff are very friendly and helpful. Good for vegetarians also. Highly recommend, we thought prices were at a reasonable level.

Very varied menu with ample portions

Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food was good, and cocktails were even better 🍾

First time dining here, excellent service wonderful food, will definitely return, nothing was too much trouble

I’m not sure how the owners can call Opa Opa ‘authentic Greek cuisine’. We went for the first and last time. The food was nice but the menu options were limited- very limited, which told us that this was lacking in authenticity. The fact that they offer a choice of chips or mash potato should have set alarm bells ringing. Greek food is about flavour and potatoes (village style) and rice is one of the key accompaniments. We were also served gravy with the lamb. If we wanted a Sunday roast we’d have gone to a pub. For authenticity I give a one star. I’m associated with Greek folk and am embarrassed to say I went there.

Polite service. Delicious food. 😋 Dined on a quiet Monday evening .

Portions could be a bit larger on the platter . Food amazing.

Lovely service tasty food especially the spinach

Nice restaurant, good food. Called in , didn't book on a Saturday lunch very pleasant

Charming restaurant with exceptional food, great choice on the menu with a wide range of vegetarian options. Great value. Very friendly staff.

Went there for the 1st time yesterday. The young lady who greeted up was very polite and showed us our table. Her service was of a high standard and when our food arrived, it was the best Greek food I've had since I've been back to Cyprus. Will certainty be coming back again

Food was delicious. Lovely ambience.

Very pleasant staff and a varied Greek menu. We had the mixed platter which was very tasty and generous. Lovely desserts.

Went there for lunch, the food was really nice, portions were good size too. The grilled mushrooms were amazing and smokey

Lovely food lovely staff Great atmosphere Would definitely recommend Xxx🥰🥰🥰

Fabulous experience. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was attentive but not rushed. Perfect timing between courses. Loved the decor and vibe with Greek music. Friendly staff, i would throughly recommend.

Slow service and greasey main Would not go back

Nice food at reasonable prices, good friendly attentative staff.

My guests and I enjoyed our meal, however one guest who has hearing aides found the noise level intrusive. When phoning for a reservation perhaps a quiet area could be suggested??

Enjoyed a lovely evening with friends. Welcoming and attentive staff. Food was very tasty!

Amazing food great service and staff

We have been several times for drinks & food as well as having take out as it is so convenient for us. It is always a relaxed atmosphere with excellent service & great food. We would definitely recommend the Gyros!

Superb evening. Can highly recommend the pork skewers, just awesome. The staff were excellent, very attentive. Thankyou

Food was amazing staff was Amazing the Restaurant was amazing I would recommend this this restaurant all day long.

Nice restaurant, I liked the decor. We had a good table in the window. Food and drinks very good and very keen prices. I like Greek food and this really came up. We are 4 ladies that lunch and we all said we would come again. Kalispira.

Had dinner there with husband. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. My Pleurotus and Churros were amazing. Husband was pleased his Moussaka as well. Highly recommended! 😋

Lovely food, atmosphere and staff. Definitely recommend

This was a fantastic surprise,in a positive way We were greeted by Artur,with a smile to die for, and Alex(junior)shown to a great table AND then served the most delicious butterfly chicken served by a lovely waitress followed by Baklava plus Icecream(yes,I could have eaten 2) The cleanliness was outstanding Bexhill has just gone up in my estimation,shift over The Ivy,Asia(Brighton) Prices very,very reasonable The family atmosphere is enviable(you cann't buy that) We will be returning Well done,Alex.

Great food staff are very friendly and professional. Would recommend :)

I ordered a vegan option which was absolutely delicious, the provide you with water at the table in cute jugs. And the service is excellent.

Excellent food Excellent service Been a few times and always amazing 10/10

Good Food was excellent Not quite so good Was a problem with our booking, but the staff were very apologetic and a complimentary round of drinks was offered. There was also a long wait - 1 hour between finishing starters and main course arriving. We felt it was getting to be a king wait when the food was delivered. Any longer would have been a problem. Food was so good that we will still return.

Amazing food lovely staff and beautiful location

Great food great staff would recommend trying it out excellent restaurant

Visited the restaurant for evening meal with friends. Nothing wrong with the service and the restaurant is lovely inside. Spacious, so you are not sitting near other diners which was great. Unfortunately my food was underwhelming. My portion on spanakopita was large. However it was fairly bland and once I started on the second piece It started to seem dry.I really needed something like a sauce, dip or side salad with it. I chose halloumi salad for main. Very disappointing for £11.50. Heaps of shredded white lettuce, cherry tomatoes and small pieces of grilled halloumi - that's it! No cucumber, olives, julienned carrot, radish, bitter leaves, all those things you'd expect in a nice salad. It came ready dressed in the balsamic dressing which was unpleasant and tasted shop bought. The chips were nice. Maybe the meat options are better but wouldn't recommend for vegetarians. Not worth the £30.

First of all the food was great, amazing grills. Service was a bit slow and the staff were not very knowledgeable about what on the menu was gluten free instead we got offered the vegan menu, we eventually got around that and got reccomended some dishes. There was a bit of a wait between courses but as I mentioned it was worth the wait for the food. The restaurant itself doesn't feel greek the decor is a bit bland and generic of a place that has recently opened

Pleasant experience, nice food. Will come again

Had a fantastic experience here with the family. The food was absolutely fantastic. I recommend the kofte it was incredible. All freshly made and authentic greek cuisine, not and english knock off. Service was top notch too and the owner is very accommodating. 100% recommend I can't fault it.

Lovely evening with family, service was very good food was delicious really nice atmosphere. Will definitely come again.

Perfect in every way. Authentic Greek food very well cooked and very good portions (eaten a lot in a greek household).

Wonderful staff very friendly, beautiful food,great place to eat. We will definitely go again.

We picked a busy Saturday evening, so it was a bit noisy, but food and service were so good we hardly noticed.

Great food, service and atmosphere. The portions are substantial so make sure you build up an appetite before-hand!

Quiet ish night there on a Tuesday mid March, but food and service were great.

We visited Opa Opa on a bit of a whim. The staff were really helpful and everything came quickly. The food was fine for what it was and not overly expensive. However, the choice of food was somewhat limited. For instance, we are used to squid and octopus being on Greek menu along with greek stews. That's not to say that food was poor, just that the choice was limited. Have a look on the menu. It might just be me who is being picky.

Good service.lovely meal. Looking forward to going again.

Had a valentines meal tonight was a good price, food was very nice went down great with a mythos beer! The decor is fresh and the staff were all polite and very friendly will be visiting again

Great food and service, will be back, if I try hard the walls are a little plain, otherwise excellent 👌

There are many good restaurants in Bexhill but for years we have wished for a Greek restaurant. Our wish has been answered. We have dined as a couple and a family group. Both experiences were brilliant. Love the food, the Greek beer and the youngsters enjoyed the mocktails. Opa Opa has attentive staff and relaxed atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone and everything we've tried has been delicious. Already planning our next visit. Yammas!

1st time food good portions way to big but could take what we left home definitely over ordered service excellent good quality wine and buzzy ambiance great addition to Bexhill

The most beautiful restaurant and amazing food. Had a lovely evening, staff very friendly so couldn’t fault them at all. Will definitely be returning soon. Defo won’t disappoint!x

Absolutely amazing food, service and ambience. Large potions of delicious food what not to like. Will definitely be back soon. Well done

Wow 🤩 what a stunning restaurant. Everything from the food, staff and atmosphere is perfect. Can’t wait to go again to try more on the menu. Highly recommend it ❤️

Opa opa is the best restaurant I've been to in years , i took my wife here

Wow,what fabulous food, party of eight of us all purring over the meal, highly recommend a visit in fact going back this week

We had an amazing meal in there the other night. The food was superb, we sort of had a Tapas style meal with a few starters and a main meal all served together. The service was very good friendly and attentive but not intrusive. We were lucky as we sat by the window whilst watching the snow come down so had good entertainment of watching people throw snowballs. The red wine carafe was excellent hence we ordered a few. Another great restaurant in Bexhill, we will soon be the foody town in the UK if we are not already. Thanks all will be returning soon

Me and my partner came across this place while out in Bexhill and it did not disappoint. We ordered the lamb shank and it practically fell off the bone, super tender. The mashed potato was light and fluffy and the vegetables had a charcoal like grill taste, perfectly cooked. We will be back!

Newly opened and a very good alternative to the many Italian restaurants in the town.

Isit bad I have been two days in a row? Amazing food, lovely and comfortable inside, welcoming staff and great atmosphere!

Delicious food and extremely courteous staff! Beautiful interior throughout, will definitely be returning!
