Lamb bowl
Saghar A.

Best greek food ever! Service was absolutely amazing. The staff are nice and welcoming. And this place is very clean!

Falafel Gyro Wap
Vanessa C.

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.

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 !

Shredded Lamb Gyro Sandwich
Justine R.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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!

The setting is cozy and welcoming, with a gorgeous coastal view that makes it easy to settle in, enjoy some appetizers and drinks, and stay awhile. The staff is always so friendly and attentive.

I've eaten here around 10 times with a sesame allergy and have always been accommodated by having…read moremy food prepared separately. Today, despite that history, the "head chef" flat-out refused to prepare my food without sesame because apparently doing so would "compromise the integrity of the dish." What made this even worse was the management's response. I specifically asked to speak with a manager, and the manager refused to even come speak to me. Instead, they sent the waiter back to tell me they would not accommodate my allergy. I understand that restaurants sometimes cannot safely accommodate certain allergies. But refusing an accommodation that this restaurant has successfully made for me roughly 10 times before--and then having a manager refuse to even speak with a customer about a serious food allergy--is unacceptable and incredibly disappointing. If you have food allergies, I would strongly recommend avoiding Kassi. I certainly will not be returning.

As soon as we sat down, our server (who happened to be from Athens) explained to us that this was authentic Greek food, and was not going to be American Greek food or Mediterranean Greek food, and it was music to our ears. Ordered the lamb, octopus, fries and saganaki. Overall, it was amazing. The service was amazing, the food really took us back to vacation and ample seating. The lamb was cooked perfectly, the beef tallow fries and saganaki were great but the real star was the octopus. It might've actually been better than most of the octopus that we ate in Greece. It was perfectly seasoned, drowned in olive oil and cooked PERFECTLY. Like not even a hint of chewiness or toughness at all. The only downside was parking. I'm not sure if they have a designated parking lot, but we ended up finding parking in the nearby neighborhood. Will be back to try more dishes the next time a craving hits.

The interior is very inviting, clean and cozy as there is a mix of young and old who enjoy spectacular Greek dining. The parking is pretty accessible and the neighborhood is safe with a few homeless, but nothing of concern. Tonight I had the Lemon Chicken Soup which is a favorite along with Lamb Chops and French Fries which is my favorite. We had some sampling of desserts and all were delighted as my two guests indicated they would be back again for more! The prices are reasonable and the menu is extensive with a full bar as well if you like a drink. Located on Venice Boulevard in the heart of Mar Vista, there is no wrong choices or bad selections at Taverna! Great for a business dinner or a dinner for two on a date, they also accommodate large parties as well! When in Mar Vista, consider TAVERNA! HIGHLY RECOMMEND - A TOP MAR VISTA VENUE!

So finally for our one year wedding anniversary, my hubby made us dinner reservation. And it was such an intimate, beautiful, and yummy surprise. I suppose Paloma, is unusual for Abbot Kinney, bc she's like a secret, tucked behind a wall of palm trees. So you never see what's happening inside or its aesthetics. But she does NOT disappoint. We ordered fresh, mint tea and Singaporean street corn which comes with bread for appetizers and it was supper yummy! I'd order our menu line up exactly again, when we go! And then for entrees we had mushroom ravioli and salmon asparagus in a carrot puree. And my dish was served is a dinosaur egg, looking plate structure. Super cool, all was delicious and we ate leftovers the day after as well. We then headed indoors to the bar: and my hubby preferred his usual mezcal from Jeremy the bartender. Who recommend we come for brunch and order a bfast wrap. All the service here is excellent as well. I then headed to explore the cool art and lamps hanging in the bathroom, with old school elevator doors. Was such a fun, yummy, elegant character-filled, coastal experience. Now we know Paloma is super local beauty. We'll be coming over often, and thank you for a delectable, yummy anniversary dinner guys.

They are great at greeting you, attending to your needs, and checking in on you, which I really appreciated. - The staff is really friendly, and they always change the restaurant experience. - The ambiance was very lively. There were several groups of people eating inside, talking, and having a great time. It was a good vibe. It wasn't too loud, but it was definitely not quiet. - In terms of the food, we ordered the avocado jalapeno hummus, which was very good. We both liked that a lot. - My husband ordered the spicy creamy chicken, and he did not like that. He felt that the creaminess was too milky for him and that it just tasted like he was eating too much dairy, which really sounds like kind of a personal preference rather than something being wrong with the meal. He was not a fan of the cream sauce. He felt like he was just dipping his chicken in spicy milk, and he was not a fan. - He also was not a fan of the baba ganoush, but I think he just doesn't like baba ganoush because when I tasted it, it was actually very good. - As far as my food, I got the cauliflower for an appetizer, which was delicious. It came with three sauces: tahini, garlic sauce, and some sort of green, spicy-ish sauce. The cauliflower was flash-fried with no batter, and it was really good with the garlic sauce and the lemon juice. - I also had the salmon kebab wrap with fries, and I felt that it was a delicious wrap. I loved the portion size, so it wasn't too much food, but also not too little food. I thought things were good, and I thought the experience was good. I think he just didn't like his particular dish, but I don't think there was anything wrong with the dish itself.

The chicken was OK, but I would've preferred it with a little bit more seasoning/flavor and a little hotter as well. It was not bad, but it didn't pop like it was outstanding. As far as the lentil soup goes, they're very light lentils so they're not the normal lentil soup that you may be used to. That could've viewed a little bit more seasoning as well. As far as the Greek salad goes, it was just an average and ordinary small Greek salad, but it was tasty and the vegetables did taste fresh. They gave me two little slices of pita bread so I had to ask for more, but when I came out. Those were not heated like they should've been. Therefore, the bottom line is the food is good not outstanding and memorable and there's definitely room for improvement. We will definitely give them another chance and hope for the best. I wish Crimson the best!
