“Opa’s Best” Greek American Restaurant Opening in Former Zivaz Mexican Bistro

About five months after Zivaz Mexican Bistro closed at 4590 E. Broadway Blvd., Opa’s Best Greek American restaurant has settled into the space.

While the restaurant quietly opened on Saturday, they are hosting their grand opening from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Saturday, December 15. The event will feature 15% off all items except for lunch specials.

Opa’s Best offers standard Greek American fare such as hummus, dolmades, flaming saganaki, pita sandwiches, braised lamb shank, souvlaki, moussaka, pastitsio, and more.

Burgers are also highlighted on the menu, with a couple of American burgers and a few Greek variations with ingredients such as feta and sun-dried tomatoes.
