Opa Greek YeerosB+

378 Highland Ave, Somerville, MA 02144 · Greek restaurant, Gyro restaurant · Davis Square

Beloved Greek spot in Davis Square serving generous, scratch-made gyros and classic plates with warm family hospitality; value is solid and service kind, with occasional seasoning or pork consistency misses.

The verdict

Opa Greek Yeeros delivers solid neighborhood dining through excellent food quality anchored by house-made gyro cones and exceptional service attentiveness that creates genuine warmth. Consistent execution and quick service support reliable meals, though the modest space design and occasional seasoning variations prevent grade A territory. A genuine family-run favorite that exceeds typical casual dining standards without reaching destination-restaurant distinction.

About this restaurant

A compact Davis Square spot where the air smells of sizzling pork and warm pita, this place leans on house-made gyro and heartfelt service. Guests describe staff who offer tastes, extra dips, and conversation—"they treated us like family"—creating a cozy, welcoming pause from the square’s bustle. The cooking is classic Greek done with care: juicy pork gyros, crisp Greek fries, bright dips, and homey desserts like loukoumades and rice pudding. It is not a flashy fusion concept; think traditional flavors, generous plates, and counter-service speed. Most meals shine, though a few diners wished for less salt or juicier chicken, and occasional pork batches drew critique. Families do well here. Staff are sweet with kids, and the menu is approachable: pita and fries, chicken kebab, rice bowls, and simple salads. Vegetarians have solid options (falafel, spanakopita, hummus, salads), though legacy favorites from prior owners may be gone.
