Fast Food & Takeout
Opa
About Opa
Lunch on the run usually means picking whatever is fastest to grab and eat in the car, and Opa serves that need from 1500 Banks Rd on the Dilworth side of Kelowna. The building holds several other businesses, so it is worth looking for the unit rather than the street number alone when you pull in.
Quick service kitchens in this line tend to work from a narrow, fast turning menu built for takeout at lunch as much as for sitting down. What is on offer and how it is priced varies a good deal from one counter to the next, and so does how readily a kitchen can put together a larger order. If you are ordering for a group, ask how far ahead a big order needs to go in, whether the menu can be built for sharing, and how dietary requests are handled.
This part of the city is drive up territory. Kelowna spreads along the lake and up the slopes rather than sitting in a tight grid, so lunch stops cluster near the arterial roads where offices, warehouses and shops mix together. Traffic on the highway thickens through the middle of the day and stays heavy all summer, which makes the noon rush the slowest possible time to attempt a fast meal. Ordering ahead and collecting is usually the quicker plan, and there is enough parking in these commercial blocks to make a pickup painless.
