We are fully open for dine in, take out, and delivery!! In 1966, Louis Seretis purchased a small confectionary. He named it Orapax for the street upon which the front door opened. Longshoremen, railroad workers, and other locals came to play pool and purchase medicine, cigars, beer, and a Poormans Sandwich, spam and cheese on white bread. In 1973 Louis replaced the sandwich with his own original Greek pizza. The result was truly astonishing! Orapax become known throughout Norfolk as The Place to Eat. His son Nick joined him in the family business in 1982. Now some 50 years later Nicks’ daughter Nicole is walking in her father’s and Grandfather’s shoes. Orapax is their dining room. Welcome to our house!

Orapax restaurant has been a family-run local favorite for many decades. Their menu is varied and they offer lunch and daily specials with many options for vegetarians and vegans. Their food is fresh and well prepared and never disappoints. The restaurant is clean, comfortable and inviting. It is the perfect place for a date or special occasion. Prices are competitive. Service is always professional and welcoming. They can get very busy so call ahead for wait times or reservations. Service can be a little slow during peak times but their food is worth the wait and their meals are meant to be savoured. Orapax has the very best Greek and Mediterranean food in Norfolk and is not to be missed.

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.

10/10 experience . Our server Natalie was the sweetest most welcoming person ever! Food was amazing (their portions were bigger than expected so that’s always good ) & the atmosphere over all was perfect. Came on a Thursday night for table for two & was seated immediately. Think I found my new favorite restaurant & will definitely come back again!

As a vegetarian, seeing a separate vegan menu made me thrilled. The food was quite tasty accompanied by a quaint ambiance. It was an enjoyable experience.

I’ve been here many times over the years but somehow never wrote a review, so here we go.
We went on a Saturday night around 7:30 PM and were seated immediately, which was a pleasant surprise for a weekend dinner time.
For food, I ordered the manitari pasta with marinara sauce and the Karpathos chicken. The marinara sauce was a bit on the sweet side. I personally enjoyed it, but it is something to note if you prefer a more traditional savory tomato sauce. The chicken itself could have used a little more seasoning or perhaps just a touch more salt to bring out the flavor. That said, the dish was still good overall and the portion size was very generous. I ended up taking half of it home.
To drink, I had the White Santorini Sunrise, which is their white sangria. It was bright, refreshing, and a great choice with dinner.
Service was very quick. Our server was efficient, attentive, and struck a nice balance of checking in without being overbearing.
One unexpected highlight was the music. The background playlist featured artists like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, which gave the space a really fun, nostalgic vibe while dining.
Overall, a solid experience and a place I continue to come back to.
