This is an elevated restaurant experience with exceptional food quality and taste with a unique twist on some known classics. I got the lamb burger, souvlaki and eggs with the pork belly, and sauce sampler. All were absolutely divine. Licked the plate clean sort of good. The server was friendly, attentive and gave my group a run down of the menu. I don’t think you can go wrong ordering any of the items off their menu. The decor and design of the place is super cute while cozy. Parking is easy to find (at least on a Sunday afternoon).

Great menu! We went for brunch and had the hangover brekkie Sammie and souvlaki and eggs – so good! Jason was a great server and the restaurant is super cute. Love the menu – I could try everything! I settled on a Bellini which I have not seen on a menu in a long time.

We came in with a group of 6. No reservation and it was about to get super busy. They still found a table for us. Thank you for your hospitality, Brenda and Tiffany! Corey was an amazing server. The atmosphere is tea The food ….literally you can smell how delicious food was before stepping in. That’s how authentic the chefs ingredients were. The food was incredible! High quality! Drinks were fantastic! My group shared the Brussels sprouts, mezze platter, spinach and feta hot pockets, butternut salad and fries as starters. No disappointments anywhere! We all had different gyro entrees and the lamb burger and the branzino. My fave to try was the branzino.
10/10 would recommend!! We’ll be back for sure!!

We had an enjoyable dinner at Ela.
Our server was Corey, and he was friendly, helpful, and attentive.
We got old fashioneds and appreciated the touch of baharat spice that was added.
We enjoyed the lamb pocket appetizer – it had great flavor (especially the green sauce!) We also got the crispy Brussels sprouts: they were very tasty but not “crispy.” We split 2 skewers with the greens set: the harissa chicken and the lamb. The lamb was delicious! The chicken had great flavor but was too charred for our liking. The salad greens were fresh and a great pairing. I do wish there had been bread service for the table. That would have paired nicely with the meal. The sip of vermouth at the end was a nice touch!

WOW i didn’t expect fries this good. 1000/10 like so crisp yet chewy in a textured way on the inside. never had fries like that before. the aioli too! if you’re getting the lamb burger get something else for the app. i didn’t know the burger also came with fries but didn’t mind. drinks were decent, hit or miss. my favorite was the orange creamsicle and i’m usually more of a dark cocktail person. love love service was excellent too!

We had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant. This is our first time, but definitely will not be the last.
Tiffany made sure we get exact table we asked for!
The food was served warm and very, very delicious.
Mr Sergio made sure he bring food like a chef.
But our server Aliya was the best in anyways you look!
Aliya was kind, smiling And genuine also she’s very very knowledgeable about the food and menu. She recommends us such a good Food and drinks as well.
Hope more people like Aliya around us
Very, very impressed …. Woow!
I will give this restaurant 7 stars

Our experience started out great, but it quickly turned into one of the worst experiences. The original bartender was attentive and friendly at first, but there was a shift change and the new bartender was terrible. From the very beginning, she was rude when we asked about the sauce for the chicken. Her attitude was off-putting and unprofessional.
It then took her over 20 minutes just to acknowledge that we were ready for our check. We were completely ignored.
Then, as we were leaving, the original bartender had the nerve to speak to us after we had been overlooked the entire time. That was very frustrating.
We had planned to stay for dinner, but after that level of service, we decided against it. The fries were good, especially with the sauce, but the Moroccan chicken tasted old and was served cold.
Very disappointing experience overall.

We’re not from the area and were craving Mediterranean food, so we googled our options and randomly picked Ela — and I’m so glad we did! The atmosphere was amazing: warm, welcoming, and beautifully modern.
Even without reservations, we were seated right away at the bar, which was comfortable and gave us a great view of the restaurant. They also have an enclosed outdoor dining space that looked perfect for a relaxed meal.
And the food? Absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I could’ve kept eating more!
Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great Mediterranean cuisine with a modern vibe.
