Orapax Restaurant and Bar

Orapax is a warm, family-run Mediterranean restaurant in Norfolk. It combines a large, accommodating dining room with a genuine neighborhood feel. The Food: 🇬🇷 Greek Sampler Platter. A great introduction to the menu. It features nine different offerings, but the Dolmades were a standout with spiced ground beef finished with a bright lemon sauce. 🔥 Saganaki. Served with wonderful flair! The flaming cheese was a great companion to the complimentary basket of fresh baked Greek bread. 🥣 Grain Bowl: A fresh and hearty option. The mix of fresh and pickled vegetables on a wild rice base was excellent, especially when paired with the feta and the cooling tzatziki/spicy cilantro sauce. Service: Special thanks to Hanna for the attentive and professional service. It was also a pleasure to meet Nicole, representing the next generation of the founding family. Tip: Check out their weekly and daily Happy Hour specials. They offer even greater value and discounts on an already reasonably priced menu. Overall: A great family-friendly restaurant serving generous plates at a fair price.

The food is so fresh and delicious. There’s so much to choose from I can’t wait to go back. We were with a large party and I was impressed with the customer service and speed. It was very packed. Parking was a little difficult but nothing too crazy. Everyone in the 13 person party was extremely happy with their food selection. That doesn’t happen very often.

We went here for my husband’s birthday dinner and it was delicious! My husband has been to many places in Greece & was searching for authentic food in the area to fill his craving. Orapax hit the nail on the head for him! He loved the Saganaki, as well as the gyro platter and drinks (Santorini sangria & a mule). I got the pasta with Alfredo sauce which was great, as well as their Greek salad and bread. Orapax has beautiful ambience inside. We will definitely be back to try more and recommend to our friends.

Had a wonderful time and had the opportunity to try out some new food. Both my wife and I were pleased with our experience, the food was delicious and full of flavor. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and my wife and I can’t wait to go back.

First visit was take out. They were friendly and helpful. The Greek Dip Sandwich was incredible. I highly recommend it if one is looking for a burger alternative.

I used to live a few blocks away from this local restaurant, and had had a bad experience, so when my friend wanted to have lunch here, I was a bit hesitant. But my experience this time was absolutely wonderful. Great local restaurant with excellent food, combination of Mediterranean Greek and other staples. Atmosphere is bright and cheerful, clean and inviting. The staff was cheerful and attentive, and Harry, our server, was particularly upbeat and had the right mix of checking in on us without intruding on our conversation. In addition to a bar and dining room there was a porch area for a little bit of an “outdoor“ dining experience. We started out with a little freshly baked bread, olive oil with spices and salt, the bread was flaky and light with wonderful flavor and the olive oil was fresh. I had the Mediterranean salad with lamb and it was exceptional. Great flavor, nicely presented, and plenty of it. Highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

2nd time here, and it is soo good! Greek restaurant in Norfolk. Wonderful indoor space. Great outdoor space. Wonderful beer, wine, and cocktail list. The food menu is very nice. Hannah, the bartender, is so friendly. Nice ambiance and nice vibe. Definitely will be back.

We had an amazing experience at Orapax Restaurant and Bar! From start to finish, the food, service, and atmosphere were outstanding. We started with the Hummus and Pita—creamy, garlicky, and topped with olive oil, paired perfectly with crispy pita chips. The Greek Sampler was a highlight, giving us a little bit of everything: pastitsio, spanakopita, dolmades, gyro meat, hummus, feta, tzatziki, pita, and tyropita—an absolute feast of flavors on one plate. The Original Greek Salad was fresh, crisp, and loaded with feta and olives. For entrées, the Chicken Souvlaki was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned, while the Brizola (14oz lamb steak) was grilled beautifully and packed with flavor, paired with potatoes and broccoli that complemented it perfectly. The staff was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt lively yet comfortable. You can tell Orapax has decades of tradition behind it, and it shows in both the food and hospitality. This place is truly a Norfolk gem, and we’ll definitely be back to “eat like a Greek once a week!”

Orapax in the Chelsea District of Norfolk is a hidden gem, right on the corner in a cozy neighborhood. When you walk in, there's an incredible amount of space, and it feels warm and welcoming. We sat in the bar area at the high top tables near the window. We were greeted quickly by our friendly waitress. To start, I ordered a glass of red wine, and we couldn't resist ordering the wings and the Greek sampler. Both were phenomenal. The sampler is the perfect way to get a true taste of authentic Greek flavors. It featured the pastitsio, spanakopita, dolmades, gyro meat, hummus, feta, tzatziki, pita, and tyropita. Each bite was packed with so much flavor. The spanakopita was a standout, perfectly flaky! And the hummus was smooth, creamy, and definitely homemade. The char-broiled wings, seasoned with a signature blend of Greek herbs, were hands down some of the best I've ever had. For my dinner, I went with a classic Greek salad topped with gyro meat. I have to admit, my phone didn't get to eat before I dove in this time, but it was worth it. This may just be my favorite Greek salad in all of Hampton Roads. The salad is a blend of spring mix and iceberg, with crisp tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, red onions, plus pepperoncini, kalamata olives, and plenty of feta, topped off with tender gyro meat. I'm already thinking about the next time I can go and get this! We didn't get dessert, but the menu looked tasty. I will definitely be trying the baklava during my next visit.

Orapax delivers a consistently strong dining experience with a welcoming atmosphere that blends neighborhood comfort with polished service. From the moment you walk in, the staff sets the tone professional, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu without feeling rehearsed. The food is where Orapax truly stands out. The Greek-inspired dishes are fresh, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. Their classic favorites like the spanakopita, moussaka and hummus showcase quality ingredients and careful preparation. The bar program is equally solid, offering a good selection of wines, cocktails, and local brews that pair well with the menu. The dining room can get busy during peak hours, which occasionally results in slightly longer wait times, but the team manages the rush with professionalism and a positive attitude. The atmosphere remains inviting, whether you're there for a casual lunch or a relaxed evening out. Overall, Orapax continues to be a reliable choice in Norfolk for flavorful food, warm hospitality, and a well-rounded dining experience. A strong four stars, and certainly a restaurant worth returning to.

Popped in for lunch this week and we enjoyed some of their lunch menu features. A special shout out to their delicious bread! IYKYK! Be sure to try it!

It was time for a late lunch. Searching my bookmarks for a restaurant in Ghent that I wanted to try, I immediately chose Orapax. It was close and featured my beloved Greek comfort food. Located deep inside what we consider Ghent, the neighborhood actually deems itself Chelsea. Sitting at the corner of Redgate & Orapax Street, the location is near the Elizabeth River Trail & the massive Norfolk Southern Railway tracks. Over the years the family owned business, founded in 1966, has expanded into the large restaurant it is today. Street parking is available. But my suspicion is that it's a local walking favorite in the high density neighborhood. Walking into the restaurant you feel the history. Walls are lined with early pictures from both the restaurant & founders past. It's difficult to restrain from a walk around the different sections of the restaurant to step back in time. There is a large dining room & a separate section with a bar and another dining room, which faces the bar area. We were seated immediately and presented with a large menu. Searching through the menu for my favorite, I saw that there was something for everyone's taste. The menu reminded me of those offered by New York diners and my favorite Greek restaurant in Queens. Finding a Lunch Section of the menu that included my favorite, I asked our server if we could order immediately since the end of the Lunch Menu timing was 5 minutes away. My eating schedule certainly wouldn't have accommodated a Dinner sized meal that early in the day. Our server pleasantly accommodated. Our order came out promptly. A slice of my favorite comfort food, Spinach Pie (Spanakopita) was presented with a small amount of Steamed Broccoli & and an Orange Slice. It was the perfect luncheon portion. Spinach Pie is always awesome. I was disappointed that the crust on their made in house pie was a smooth style, rather than the flaky homemade crust I love at my favorite Greek Restaurant in Astoria. But I guess it's just a personal preference. Flaky crust Spinach Pie has been my comfort food for decades. Orapax will remain one of my lunchtime restaurant options when in the neighborhood.

A nice restaurant in a cute neighborhood. Several seating areas with two large bars, few TVs and an outdoor patio that had the plastic, removable walls for inclement weather. The restaurant was clean, our server was very friendly, but it did take a while for our soups to come out for our first course. We arrived after the lunch promotional time and just before the happy hour. We were able to take our time and order a few happy our specials. The food was pretty flavorful and fresh. The lemon chicken and rice soup was good, but I prefer the broth version over the thick and creamy version that was served here. Best Greek salad and dressing!

Had a fantastic experience here, for an after-graduation celebration lunch. Visited on a Saturday after graduation, so there were quite a number of medium and large sized groups. However, we only had to wait about 15 minutes. Impressive menu, and an extensive vegan menu, as well. We were thrilled to see that there was even a happy hour menu on a Saturday at midday. Service was great, in spite of how busy they were. Food and drinks were delicious! The only critique was that, with a party of six, we had lots of dirty dishes on the table. No waitstaff seemed interested in removing them until we finally asked them to. Aside from that, it was an amazing experience and we will definitely be back!!

Ok a cool vibe. Slammed so it has a huge following. Apparently this has a huge following from long time locals. I get that what I didn't get was great Greek food Sorry but our pita was stale everything tasted a bit under seasoned and lacked a good cook My wife enjoyed her grain bowl but kept reaching for the salt. I sent back my leg of lamb as it didn't taste good at all. The sampler was ok but not great. The gyro meat was tough the hummus was good and tziki was good the stuffed grape leaves was not very flavorful. The servers were good and it was packed and they were attentive. This brings me pause as I should give it another visit but I would need help on what to order.

In my opinion the food is consistently good. There are plenty of options to choose from. The servers do a great job also.

We came here before a show on a Friday. I am so glad we got there at 5 because at 6 the place was slammed! They do have a small parking lot and lots of street parking. Definitely a good size restaurant and bar. We sat in the bar for just a few drinks and appetizers. We took advantage of Happy Hour. Our waitress Hailey was wonderful with a great personality. We started with vodka sodas and ordered the hummus and the WonTon Chicken Pizza. We got water without asking and plenty of napkins and extra plates to share. The Chicken Pizza is not round and not very pizza like but still very very good. The won tons were crispy and there was good flavor and easy to share appetizer. Very sticky though because of the hot honey. The hummus was good and a very large portion. Loved the crispy pita chips. I do wish it came with chips AND cucumbers. The hummus was good but I personally prefer a smoother hummus and not so dense. But good flavor. It doesn't sound like a lot of food but we were full....nice size portions. I would love to go back and try more on the menu like the greek salad and the pizzas. This is definitely a staple in Norfolk and worth checking out. I will be back to try again.

This place is great! I can't believe it took me so long to visit. The food was great and the service was excellent!! They have a sampler which was great for those who want to try various Greek cuisine. I also liked the Orapax wings. The grilled salmon was delicious. A friend tried the Loukoumades, which she said were light and delicious. They have really great wine selection - I believe the one I tried was a Sangiovese red. It was perfect for the meal. They have lots of seating and the decor is lovely. I can't wait to go back and try something else.

The Orapax Restaurant and Bar was the perfect place for a late afternoon lunch. We were seated immediately and began to look at their extensive menu. My Friend and I both chose from their lunch menu and ordered Spanakopita which was perfectly prepared. The decor was very interesting. The Orapax dates back to 1966 and the photos that line the walls tells their story.

Parking is easy with plenty of space, the staff is friendly, and service is quick. However, the food quality is inconsistent, which is why we don't return as often as we'd like. The pizza is excellent when ordered fresh, the hummus is delicious, and the dine-and-wine events are fun. I just wish the overall food quality were more consistent.

One of my favorite places in the Norfolk area. Would eat here weekly if I could. The pizza and bread are perfect.

Everything about Orapax is great. Food. Drinks. Vibes. Solid for non meat eaters too. Would love to see more fish on the menu but the salmon option is solid. Rosemary fries for the win.

Visited Orapax for the first time for a corporate team dinner and was very impressed! Loved how warm and welcoming the ambiance was and the small lights on the table made it very easy to see the menu. There was a few minutes left for Happy Hour (Happy Hour ends at 6!) and I ordered the Rosemary fries, a half dozen of Pegasus wings (they were so good!) and a small Greek salad. For the size of our party, all of the food arrived in a timely manner and was perfect- the tempeture was great, serving size was great. No complaints at all. To wrap up the night, I finished with a warm brownie sundae topped with vanilla ice cream with drizzled caramel and chocolate syrup. 10/10. I found a new hidden gem!

Orapax seems to be a local favorite. I guess people don't set their standards super high? We came here on a Wednesday night and put our name in at 6:30 and were told it would be a 20-30 minute wait. We weren't seated for an hour. The hostess was very friendly, the waitress I think was having an off day. I guess it was a busier night than usual. I ordered the sangria sunrise (white) and my friend also got a drink. The waitress brought out a red sangria and then immediately knew she brought the wrong drink. It happens. She promptly corrected it and brought the right one within about 5 minutes. I got the gyro and think it was supposed to be a mix of beef and lamb. It was just lamb but the consistency was kinda weird. The lemon potatoes were hard as a rock. I didn't really have the patience at that point to send them back. Too hungry. This place isn't close enough to me to want to return.

The food is so fresh and delicious. There's so much to choose from I can't wait to go back. We were with a large party and I was impressed with the customer service and speed. It was very packed. Parking was a little difficult but nothing too crazy. Everyone in the 13 person party was extremely happy with their food selection. That doesn't happen very often.

Many years ago we loved eating at Orapax, but then we moved out of the area. So today was our first opportunity to see if they were still as good. The results were... mixed. The restaurant is a bit out of the way, but the decor is nice. Today, we were immediately seated and our orders quickly taken. My wife ordered the Mousaka and I ordered the Lamb Shank. They provided sour dough bread and oil which was delicious. Unfortunately the salads (which were very good) were served just moments before the main courses arrived which was pretty poor timing. The Lamb Shank was hot, tender and tasty, as were the sides of carrots and zucchini. However the bed of Couscous was pretty dry. Unfortunately, my wife found the Mousaka to be... inedible. I sampled it and agreed that it did not taste like any Mousaka I have ever had. I can understand a restaurant having their own "take" on a classic dish, but Orapax's Mousaka is that dish in name only. We told the waitress and she took it away but they still charged us full price for it which was very surprising. Other restaurants normally don't charge for a meal that the customer literally can't eat. Though my dish was quite good, the fact that my wife's was so poor, along with the bad timing of the main course arriving literally on top of the salad is what led me to reluctantly give Orapax a lower rating. That, coupled with their location, will keep us looking for another Greek restaurant option.

Fantastic Greek restaurant. It's Friday a little after 2 PM and we decided to try it out based on a friend's recommendation. We sat down at the bar and received terrific service. We ordered a couple of the Greek wines on draft. Both good. Our sampler platter had enough for the two of us. We each finished with one each of their 6 inch pizzas made to our individual orders. It's listed as a sports bar, but it's much more than that. It has a large variety of local draft beers. It is huge with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is available in the rear of the building with some handicap spots. This will become our go to when we're seeking Greek food.

The ambiance was warm and welcoming the food was excellent. The waitress was very nice and so attentive. This is definitely a great date night location. I highly recommend for any occasion.

Good food and service people friendly and helpful would definitely recommend this place

We filled up on some herbaceous plates here. I recommend the hummus, fried calamari, chicken shawarma bowl, and lamb meatball pasta, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We paired our meal with a velvety vinho tinto. Established in 1966 and now run by its third generation of family owners, this restaurant is local gem. Beautiful string lights and festive decorations adorned the inside and made it a great place to have a holiday meal with family. Service was fast and friendly making the meal that much more enjoyable.

Service too slow, food ordinary; good variety in menu; they seemed to give priority to frequent customers who go their for lunch ; do not strongly recommend

I recently tried this restaurant for lunch in Norfolk. I got the herb marinated chicken with mixed veggies and the cookie dessert. I really liked the seasoning on the chicken, but the veggies were pretty bland. It tastes like they only had butter on them. The entree was good, however I did not think it was worth the price. The dessert was a little too rare in my opinion with the center inside being completely raw. I liked the flavor though. The waiter spent most of his time at the bar and it felt like we had to try and catch him for refills, placing the dessert order, and the check. Service was a slow overall, but nice atmosphere.

This is my new fave Mediterranean spot. I love the grain bowl and Parmesan fries. I've been back several times just for them.

Delicious Greek and Mediterranean food! My mom and I stopped by for a late lunch and were not disappointed. Named for the street it resides on, Orapax has been a Greek staple of the community since its opening in 1966. I've dined here for both lunch and dinner--the main dining area was quiet for this time of day, and we were seated in the bar area with a nice airy feel, but if you come in the evening prepare to wait! The service was great, and I look forward to dining here again.

I wanted to like this place but it just didn't meet the mark. The drinks were wonderful but the food was okay. We ended up ordering another set of pizza because the first one wasn't good and the second we ordered was okay (and it was a Margherita). The rosemary fries was the only food item we enjoyed. The service was great though, he took care of us promptly and met our needs and wants. The place was decorated with super cute ambient light!

I have been coming here for nearly 45 years and it never disappoints!!!! Loved the food and our waitress, Allysa T, took amazing care of us. Run don't walk to Orapax!

I am rating our dine in service. We came in during happy hour and ordered some cocktails. They were good and I would order again. We tried the gyro egg rolls which were pretty good- they had a unique flavor and seasoning. We got the gyro burger as our main course and were a little disappointed. The burger was teeny tiny (it barely even took up the radius of the bun), tasted burnt, and wasn't anything special. I was bummed about that. We got the lokumada for dessert and were disappointed. Having just gotten back from Greece we were excited to have these again but their version is NOT authentic, poorly made. They tasted more like pizza dough balls versus a sweet treat. I wouldn't recommend those. I'd also like to comment on their glassware. A lot of their glassware both on the tables and brought to us looked cloudy and sometimes dirty. I'd like to see these polished or cleaned better. No customer wants to be questioning if their glass is clean or used. They have small parking lot next to the restaurant.

Wow! Very pleasant spot for an appetizer and drink!! It's been over a decade since I last visited and I gotta tell you that they haven't skipped a beat! Still cozy and comfy atmosphere with the same quality service with a smile!! I got the orapax wings (pegasus style). Super delicious charbroiled; best I've ever had in this style! Egg rolls were decent but I should have gotten the rosemary fries! Oh well, I'll get them next time. Chai Old Fashion (not pictured) was also a hit! Next visit- wings again and rosemary fries!!

The Orapax Restaurant is an institution in Norfolk. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the food has always been really good. I stopped by recently for lunch with one of my colleagues and he had never been here. We shared the pegasus wings and they were delicious. The Greek Salad is a large portion and certainly enough to split. Our server was very prompt, helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our experience here and I'm already planning my next visit.

Have order delivery for years from here. Called to get delivery and was told to order through DoorDash or Grub hub. Ordered through DoorDash. I could not do any additional ons for pizza or salad, which they also charge for. Pizza and dolmades were cold. Driver had a few other stops before us. I guess I won't be ordering from here again. When you used to call for delivery they wanted you to order from them and not DoorDash. I guess times have changed.

The food was great! My wife had the chicken souvlaki and I had the grain bowl with Lamb kabobs. We also had the wonton chicken pizza. Kate was a great waitress

Orapax is a staple in Norfolk that has been consistently delicious for decades. Greek anything is a reasonable choice in my book. We absolutely loved the Greek salad and lamb served several ways. There's something for everyone even vegetarians can enjoy hummus and other beautiful options that are fresh locally sourced when possible and very high-quality, the atmosphere is really welcoming with attentive staff and a very enjoyable ambiance.

Love this place. Definitely feels like authentic Greek food. Drinks are good, also the Rosemary fries.

My wife saw amazing reviews about this place so we figured we would try it. We ordered 2 gyros Greek sampler a pizza and the Greek salmon. We were very excited but overall the food was not that great it wasn't bad but not amazing the biggest problem we had was with the Greek chicken pita which when I took a bite of it at home realized the chicken was still raw see the photos. Overall paying $100+ dollars for a meal I had high hopes but I've had better Greek food at a food truck for $9. Would never come back here if you're charging premium cost I'm good with that but at least make sure the food is fully cooked we just hope we don't get food poisoning from raw chicken

This was my first time to Orapax. And it was pure perfection. Absolutely perfect. The food was amazing--and this is coming from a vegan. All too often, when I go out with friends, we end up at a restaurant with a lot of food for them and salad and water for me; not at Orapax Restaurant and Bar. The ENTIRE back of the menu was full of vegan options. I'm not talking a carrot stick and lettuce either. There were sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, and the list goes on and on. I had this "chik'n" sandwich with vegan tzatziki sauce (yes, even the Tzatziki sauce is vegan here). One bite of that flavor explosion made me want to cry. It isn't just "good"; like Tony the Tiger says...it's GREEAAAATTTT! Needless to say, I will be back.

Just go! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The atmosphere was beautiful and calming, the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff made the entire experience even better with their kindness and attentiveness. I'm already planning my next visit!

There has not been a meal I haven't ordered here, that I have NOT absolutely fallen in love with! The staff so friendly! Welcomes you with a smile! And atmosphere is also very relaxed and at home feel. Located in West Ghent area (Chelsea) Bartenders make you feel like you are at Cheers; Allysat, Hailey and Hannah are my favorites. You want a great date night, work meeting or just a casual lunch this is the place.

I've heard so many great things about Orapax over the years, and I finally had the chance to experience it myself! My husband and I went with some friends on a Saturday night. As expected, it was busy--especially with an ODU football game happening that evening--but we were seated within 20 minutes, which was reasonable. The atmosphere was lively, vibrant, and fun, though it did get quite loud at times, making it a little hard to enjoy conversation. We started with a dozen Pegasus-style wings, and they were absolutely incredible--packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. For my entrée, I went with the grain bowl topped with gyro meat. The portion was huge (as I'd been warned), but it was fresh, flavorful, filling, and surprisingly light. Great value for the price! Our server was nice but could have been more attentive--we had to ask for things a couple of times. However, it didn't overshadow the experience too much. Overall, Orapax lives up to its reputation. Delicious food, generous portions, and a vibrant atmosphere make it a spot worth visiting.

We stumbled upon this spot when looking for a good meal at the end of a long travel day. They did not disappoint! They had lots of vegan options that all looked super good. I settled on the vegan chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The bread they served at the start was a take it or leave it thing for me, but my nephews seemed to enjoy it. My mother had the pasta with chicken and red sauce and my nephews had the kids sliders. She loved the pasta and the boys enjoyed their burgers although the buns did not match the size of the patties. The buns were much bigger. Service was great and the vibe gave family restaurant with a slight bar feel. I would go back to try some of the other vegan options and drinks for sure!

Great food, good service. It was supper busy but over all they got us in at a decent time. The ambiance was good as well. Great spot for a date night. Parking was a menace but worth the walk.

Always a standby, been coming here for decades. A lot of vegetarian and vegan options, good local craft beer selection. BUT the pizza doesn't seem as tasty as it used to be. Last couple visits it's been dry. Also, I love anchovies on my pizza. They don't put them on before baking the pizza. That's how you make an anchovy pizza so that the flavors meld with the cheese in the sauce. They just put them on top after the pizza is already baked. As my last pizza Experience here was not good, with cold anchovies added just prior to serving, I requested that they put the anchovies on before baking the pizza. The server went to the kitchen and came back and told me no they won't do it. REALLY???? Something about the smell. Give me a break. It doesn't taste the same. If you did this with the pepperoni, or the green peppers, or the sausage I'll bet people would complain. The whole idea of baking a pizza is to bake the ingredients together. If management can change this, please message me cause I won't be going back. I'm giving three stars because the server was nice but the kitchen staff you get zero stars.

I love Orapax! The staff is always friendly, service is quick, and the food is delicious. Avgolemono is one of my favorite soups. I try it at every Greek restaurant that has it, and Orapax has the best I've had. The tzatziki is flavorful and creamy. Everything is absolutely delicious. I recommend the gyro platter, but you won't go wrong with anything on the menu!

Great authentic Greek food! I have been coming here for 37 years and it is still fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly, on a Saturday night it was busy but not overcrowded.

Food was good and delivered quickly. Hannah was our server, and she did a nice job and checking on us without being annoying.

In town to visit family and again went to the restaurant. We did take out this time. Had several dishes and all were great. I find this to be one of the places we have visit while in Norfolk.
