    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 !

    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.

    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.

    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....

    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!

    Came here with a cousin who I hadn't seen in a few years. You can never really go wrong coming to…read morethis rooftop, regardless of what name it's currently under. If you're into rooftops,l particularly those that oversee large bodies of water, this cannot be beat. I closed things out with a nice bottle of still water and cuz ordered a few alcoholic drinks. And while we just happened to pop in without a reservation, there was ample room to stand around the perimeter of the flowery garden like thing in the middle. Even when this location was previously known as the High Lounge, or High Lounge Rooftop, they would often feature DJs particularly when the weather was great outside. You would think with the Coachella music festival going on that there would have been ample seats and tons of space to move around, but that was not the case. This place was pretty packed! All in all, another solid outing at this particular rooftop. What staff they did have seem to be buzzing around like super busy bees, tending mostly to those seated with reservation, which is understandable. Without being seated via reservation you'll have to head straight to the bar, minimizing any significant interaction with the staff as a whole, except of course the bartender himself. I would place this rooftop in a top five with regards to So Cal rooftops, and #1 if water is your thing.

    Pretty little bar with an amazing view over the whole westside…read more As expected it was fairly pricey for small drinks and small portions. Location, location, location right....!?! Food was fresh and delicious. Greek fries could have been crunchier, but were seasoned well. Watermelon salad was fresh and delightful. The asparagus was bland. Everything in the appetizer size. The service was friendly and attentive. I called to reserve a booth with view towards the water. She couldn't promise me one. When I was there, there were reserved signs on those tables. Kids had to sit on high chairs on a high table...

    Phenomenal. Instantly transported to the Plaka in Athens by this meal…read more Cool, airy atmosphere with sidewalk seating. An open concept for seating but still feels intimate. Service is prompt and without fuss. Pricing is fair, considering the gigantic portions. The dishes are easily shareable (if you are inclined to do so). One of the great things about going in a group is you can try a variety. Here's the scoop. Keftedes- nicely cooked. Grilled veggies - was supposed to be a mixture of eggplant, zucchini, onions, and peppers. This was predominately eggplant (which suited me just fine). Have a feeling it's how it's scooped on the plate when serving. Solid flavor and a huge portion. Souvlaki - asked for one pork and one chicken skewer to try them both. Both winners. Nicely grilled exterior and still juicy. The tzatziki was bright, creamy and lightly garlicky. Chopped onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and lemon wedges are also provided with pita if you feel like making little sandwiches. I prefer to use the pita to sop up the sauces. Bifteki- this was THE dish, hands down. The bifteki were cooked perfectly- grilled outside, tender and juicy inside. Seasoning was simple but flawless. I substituted the fries (which were good - I nabbed some from another plate) but the lemon potatoes stole the show. Incredible flavor. I did not want this dish to end, and will probably order it every time I visit. (If only I could convince someone to order the octopus and the moussaka. I have to try them but this portion is already huge.) Another thing I will order next time is a bottle of Malamatina. This retsina is so difficult to find in the US but is mind blowing when served icy cold. Yes. I said next time. This restaurant will be on permanent rotation when I'm in town.

    Definitely get the SAGANAKI! Cheese flamed table side with pita is a great starter…read more Fish was fresh and nicely grilled. HAPPY HOUR: 5-630pm limited selection PARKING: free one hour parking to 6pm on Ocean Ave right around the corner. So pretty much free after 6pm!

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.
