Should probably only be used on front if need be. This baklava isn’t from his restaurant, but I figured it’s baklava, so…Michael Borodimos both cooks and serves the Greek and Mediterranean meals at Opa of Greece, which opened in November 2013. The owner is now adding another title to his task list: contractor.
The unique, 14-seat North Shore eatery is expanding, and Borodimos is personally working on building the expanded eatery with $60,000 of materials he bought to create the new look, including a 120-year-old wooden door he brought from Greece to create a new entrance on Frazier Avenue.
Borodimos, a Greek immigrant, said the restaurant is tripling in size and he is adding a Greek-style outdoor patio to give the restaurant “a Greek Village look and feel.”
“We’ve been very successful over the past three years, getting great reviews from many people, so we want to provide for a bigger space to seat more guests,” he said. “We want to create an atmosphere that is like you are on one of the Greek isles.”
Borodimos came to the United States in 2000 after working in Greece at restaurants operated by his father and grandfather.
