    Lamb Sandwich
    Gabriela G.

    God bless this place !! Came here during my lunch break . First time eating a lamb Greek sandwich! To start of , I got greeted with joy and kindness. Placed my order took a bite & then boom all the flavors exploded in my mouth ! Out of the nowhere my Wednesday didn't seem so bad. Every bite was fresh and soo good! Will be back !

    Falafel Gyro Wap

    So good! Delicious Mediterranean/Greek food near LMU and Otis College of Art and Design. It's a very small spot in a strip mall. There are a few small tables inside and a small bar area for a quick bite and go. The staff is super nice and accommodating to help you choose the best items. It is reasonably priced and a must go to if you're in the area looking for a good meal.

    Chicken Excohiko

    I had the Greek bowl tonight with quinoa and the chopped Greek salad. It was excellent. They've changed the salad with the Greek bowls. It has lots of sliced cherry sized tomatoes, and fine chopped cucumbers, An excellent improvement! So fresh and tasty.

    Spanakopita
    Trish W.

    This was our first visit, and we ordered quite a spread: gigantes, the salmon bowl with quinoa pilgouri salad and tahini, the shaved beef brisket bowl with rice and tzatziki, the lamb gyro with tahini (though it came with tzatziki instead), the traditional Greek salad, Greek lemon potatoes, moussaka, chicken avgolemono soup, spanakopita, and baklava. It was definitely more food than we needed for four people, but we were eager to try as much as possible. Overall, everything was fantastic, and I would gladly order it all again--except for the soup. Three out of four of us found it too sour. I've had avgolemono soup before and, based on the reviews, I was expecting it to be my favorite, but it missed the mark. The restaurant has limited parking outside and a cozy amount of seating inside. There's no restroom available, so keep that in mind if you plan to dine in. The service was warm and accommodating; we requested hot water, which isn't typically offered, but they made it work for us. The food was excellent, though on the pricier side. If you're looking for ambiance, however, this may not be the place, as the focus is clearly on the food.

    Beef gyro and lemon potatoes
    Ricky H.

    I don't post many reviews. But I've been coming to this place for 6 years or so. I went in today and spoke with Carlos. I had already ordered, and I was talking about how great the lemon potatoes are, but that I'm trying to lose a couple lbs. He insisted I take some on the house. I can't say no to that. I wasn't expecting that sort of generosity, nor did I deserve it to be frank. But I'm happy I have em. This place has the best Greek food in Venice. I'm not saying it because of his generosity, but for the fact that it is the best. Pita, the best. Beef gyro, the best. Lemon potatoes, the best around(not even close). Local business and owner....the best. Thank you! For the past 6 years....

    Shredded Lamb Gyro Sandwich

    AMAZING greek food in Venice! Such a great option for lunch or dinner take-out. Friendly staff and delicious options. Food is ready very quickly and great prices! I enjoyed the falafel platter - the falafel was the perfect amount of moist and flavorful, the hummus and other accoutrements were all so delicious. My partner enjoyed the Lamb Gyro and was impressed with how delicious it was as well! Will absolutely be ordering from Ela again and recommending it to all of our friends in the area.

    Chicken Bowls, Side Lamb, Roasted Beet Salad
    Kevin S.

    Do yourself a favor. Get the lamb here. In a bowl. In a salad. In a wrap. On the side. Just get it in some capacity. Those slow roasted, juicy, tender, and mouth watering flavors make the lamb the undeniable option at Ela. The chicken bowl with rice was also solid (I just added my side of lamb to that bowl). The rice and veggies were fresh and had nice, authentic, zesty spices. And the chicken was pretty good. But next time, I'll just get double lamb. The lamb stole the show. Ela's also has that hole-in-the-wall type charm. More of a to-go spot with its lack of space, but there are a few seats and tables inside if you choose to dine in. I wouldn't recommend dining in with more than 3 people here though. An excellent option for a healthy, fresh, and authentic meal. I'll for sure be back!

    Small portions for the price but I have to say it was delicious. The pita bread is so so good and…read moreflavorful. The hummus and dip were excellent I just wish there was more!! Service was great and the ambiance on a Sunday afternoon was easy, relaxed and vibey.

    I was content with my Mother's Day dinner, lets dive into the details. The hostess was very kind…read morewith a warm greet at the entrance which is stunning, floral, vibrant with lights and well lit tables. Our server was attentive and present all through the evening. All of the appetizers were rather small portioned for the price. Nonetheless very tasty just a little small for my liking and a dinner table of 5 guests. - The Street Style corn was 3/5 it almost tasted artificially sweet, it came with the smallest serving of pita bread. It took two additional orders of the bread to actually enjoy the appetizer. - The Wagyu hummus was 4/5, tasty but I feel you're mainly paying the sticker price of $35 for the smallest pieces of the meat. - Skirt steak was 4/5 its rather hard to mess up a skirt steak but it could've used extra seasoning. Potatoes on the side seemed to just be thrown next to cuts of asparagus. - Lasagnette Bolognese 4/5 seemed pretty traditional aside from the noodles, it was like uncut lasagna sheets which was a nice twist on the dish but a pretty standard sauce. - Chicken Parm 5/5, the parm was rather large, about two palms together in size. The plate seemed to be slightly spiced which was savory. - Chocolate Souffle was 3/5, nothing too special about the dish, for $18 I was hoping for something a little more savory then a brownie bite sized loaf that may have been baked for a few minutes served next to a very small portion of their 'house made ice cream'. Thank you for the memories, not entirely sure I would be back. My bill of just under $500 did not really seem to be worth it.
