Mayor Jeff Martin and Mercer County Commissioner Nina Melker were present to welcome Opa Greek Restaurant with a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
Opa Greek Restaurant, a new family-owned establishment in Deerpath Pavilion, 3817 Crosswicks Hamilton Square Road, is delighted to offer a fusion of traditional Greek cuisine and classic pizza, creating a fresh and exciting dining experience for the Hamilton community.
Owner/Chef George Vasilarakis, a Greek native with over 40 years of culinary experience, Opa Greek Restaurant features a diverse menu that includes authentic Greek dishes such as dolmades, Greek chicken soup, gyros, moussaka, spanakopita, hummus and desserts like baklava and walnut cake. In addition to these classic offerings, the restaurant serves traditional tomato pies and New York-style pizzas.
“Opa in Greek means ‘Hurray!’ It reflects my love for music and community,” said Vasilarakis. “We want to be a place where people can count on great food and hospitality. I know everyone in Hamilton loves the Greek Festival, so when we don’t have the festival, I’ll bring the festival to you.”
The Vasilarakis family, including George’s wife Despoina and their sons Niko and Elias, are committed to serving the community and sharing their love of Greek cuisine.
“Opa Greek Restaurant is a wonderful addition to Hamilton. George and his family bring not only delicious food but also a vibrant sense of community,” said Mayor Jeff Mayor
In addition to dine-in and takeout options, Opa Greek Restaurant offers catering services for pickup and delivery, making it an ideal choice for any gathering or celebration. The restaurant also features Greek-imported lemonade, adding a refreshing touch to the dining experience.
