Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We regularly go for a restaurant date at least once a month around Exeter and in 3 years + of making that a regular thing….. Opa delivered THE best experience! First time visit, 7:30 booking, greeted by the young son who was serving tables, he...was a little nervous (just a teenage thing) but he had no need to be because he was polite and so welcoming to us and all the arriving tables around us. We opted for a starter each. 1 x Greek Meatballs and a portion of Pan Fried Prawns, in under 10 mins we were enjoying both starters which were red hot, straight from the pan and absolutely delicious. Enjoying the house white wine at a very reasonable £16 a bottle, our plates were cleared promptly and the restaurant filled by 8pm with a mixture of obvious regulars, families, couples and a couple of large family groups. The atmosphere was so good. With mains turning up promptly we tucked in and we couldn’t fault a single item. I had the mixed grill and my partner opted for a seafood option. Everything was absolutely gorgeous. We can’t wait to book again in January and will definitely make the most of this restaurant for future family events.More

We came with friends, (who had been before and loved the food), for a quick pre theatre dinner. As we were early we took advantage of the early bird special, 2 courses for under £20. We were warmly welcomed and the menu explained to us,...drinks arrived promptly. I had garlic mushrooms to start , which were really yummy - a tiny bit of bread to mop the sauce up would have been nice. The star of the show was the vegetarian moussaka, one of the best I have ever had, and nicer than the one I had recently made at home, this was a perfectly sized portion with lots of delicious topping. The other 3 in our partly were equally impressed with their meals. Would love to return again when I'm next in Exeter. The restaurant was busy, but food served quickly and no delays.More

We had a family meal at Opa this evening. We arrived close to 6.30pm and were immediately told we could order from the early bird two course menu. With a choice of about 8 starters and main courses I can honestly say I wanted it...all. Excellent choices all round. Between the 6 of us we ordered an array of starters and all were great, really tasty and large portions (the Greek salad could easily be shared with another). Four out of the six of us had chicken souvlaki. Again really good portions and very very tasty although I was slightly jealous of the Stifado which looked and I gather tasted fantastic. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant. Great service, superb food and very reasonably priced. If I'm in Exeter again I will return.More

We have been to Greece many times and we have tried Greek food in many restaurants around the Europe AND OPA in south street Exeter was one of our absolutely best experiences. Perfect service and deliciously cooked Greek food. Greek decor and music.

Great family run business. Good value, great service. The food was fantastic and very generous. Strangely, we found the Greek wine ( forgive me, I think it was called white swan or similar) was really good. We had the mixed souvlaki, a lamb kleftico and...beef stikato. All were wonderful. A great find in Exeter.More
