Very cute place in downtown New Port Richey! The food was delicious and the service was awesome! We started out with cocktails that were displayed so cute! Then we opted for the saganaki (Greek fried cheese) and some lemon chicken soup. Both were very good. We then had the Florida Greek Salad (comes with potato salad on top) and a side of gyro meat that we topped our salads off with. The salad was huge and very fresh. We will definitely go back! read more

Delicious meal tonight with wonderful service at Ela! We were seated quickly on a busy Friday night in downtown New Port Richey. Everyone we encountered in the restaurant was kind and helpful- we learned how to say some names of Greek dishes that were new to us with their help! We stuck with some faves for tonight- started with spanakopita and followed with a gyro pita sandwich with fries and a HUGE portion of moussaka. Everything was fresh, delicious, and we had enough for leftovers. Prices are amazing and the menu is tremendous. Check out Ela! before a show at Richey Suncoast Theater or when you're adventuring the sights, shops, and businesses around Main Street! read more

This is one of New Port Richey's hidden gems. Directly across the street from Richey Suncoast Theatre it's a perfect place for dinner before the show. It's also a short walk to Sims Park, where we walked off dinner. The restaurant is cozy inside and lovely outside, too. We had several dishes, and all were satisfyingly good. The lemon potatoes were something Husband and I had never tasted. They were incredible. Our gyro platters were perfection - the meat was not greasy, was tasty, and there was so much that we had to take some home for lunch the next day. Our boys had the wings and the lamb shanks. They were impressed by taste & presentation of their meals. Service was exceptional. We were not rushed, and whenever we needed or wanted something, we were accommodated. Prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back!! read more

Ela - My gyro platter that was excellent. - Greek Near Me - New Port Richey, Florida

Food was amazing! Service was just as splendid. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Ella's for a wonderful family meal.

I've stopped in for lunch twice and the food been fresh and flavorful. I got the chicken kebabs with rice and salad. The 2nd time I got the rice bean and beef/lamb bowl. Both were filling and I took half home for another meal. We shared a piece of their orange cake and a few bites was enough. It was very sweet and rich so a taste was perfect. Glad we all shared it. The staff are friendly, the food came out fast and the place is clean and spacious. I'd be happy to go back again. read more

We had a large group reserved here and we're really lucky to have their spacicous back room..Poppi made sure everything ran s.ooth and answered all questions about the menu..service was excellent! Food served fresh and hot and was absolutely delicious...from the Bowls, salads , the Saganaki to the Pasticcio, it was all so good...I highly recommend going here and I personally will come here and support them instead of driving to Tarpon. They also had an assortment of desserts that looked amazing too! I did not partake, lunch was a large portion and plenty to take home too! read more

ELA's is hands-down my favorite spot! The owners, Chris and Popi, make you feel like family, and Bonnie, our server, always makes the experience special. The feta and honey appetizer is a must. I love the meat platter and moussaka--always cooked to perfection. The lunch bowl and gyros hit the spot every time. And please--never skip the orange cake! Whether it's lunch or dinner, ELA's is a gem. I can't recommend it enough! read more

We will be back. % awesome. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable. Everyone there was nice. read more

Very cool place, with a great vibe. You feel like part of the family when you walk in. The ambience and the decor fit very well. Independent, and locally owned by members of St. George Greek Orthodox Church. It was our first visit, but will not be our last. The chicken souvlaki bowl was a winner, and you can combine it anyway you want. Choose your base, choose your protein, choose your Veggies, sauce, etc. I love the fact that you can get actual grilled lamb on your pita for a gyro!! Think thinly sliced ribeye for a cheesesteak, but the Greek edition. Yes, you still have the option of the usual gyro beef and lamb mix, but having the option to upgrade and have thinly sliced grilled lamb it is not something you see very often. Our service was excellent, and the waitress was very knowledgeable. You can tell that the Taziki is fresh made. If you opt for the lunch bowl, just add a grilled pita. You can thank me later. read more

Grilled Platter was very good and reasonably priced. Fed two of us with some to take home. Service was impeccable, attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance was "Comfortable Greek" if I can coin a phrase...Bistro-ish, which is enjoyable. My dining partner/significant other is mostly from Greek heritage, she enjoyed her meal as well and stated... "these flavors remind me of my time in Calamata." Thank you Ela for bringing some authentic and quality culture to our community. Battered fried foods are boring! Fresh culture is not. ~ ...was so involved that I failed to take photos. Going back tonight. read more

Worst service ever. We were not greeted at the door. We were seated outside as requested. Ordered drinks, waited 10 minutes. Another couple with a child was seated after us, they ordered and received their drinks. They ordered their dinners before our drinks came, we left. Never to return. read more

Warning! I got food poisoning. Ordered several items and was so disappointed with the taste of everything. Will not be returning. I've been vomiting in the toilet for hours. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. Service was great, our waitress Allie hooked it up. And the entire restaurant was decorated beautiful with Greek music and and it felt like I was on vacation. read more

Friendly staff and great food! Nothing beats a fresh Gyro. Baklava for dessert finished the meal perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant! The interior isn't large, so plan ahead if your going during crunch time. Free parking is either out front on the street, or one of the city's parking lots. Yves a lot going on in Downtown NPR, so take done time and walk around after your dinner. read more

Way over cooked meat on two orders. Requested well cooked French fries as side, first order came out cold, second order not fully cooked! This is our second and last visit. First visit was lovely, not somewhere I will subject my stomach to again. read more

Had a great meal at Ela. The place has a great Greek vibe. Service was great. We had skordalia to start. Wow, the garlic with warm pita. Then had the lamb shank with orzo. Lamb was great tender and lovely favor, but orza was a bit overcooked for me. We would come back. read more

Greek food that takes you right back across the pond. It has a cute Greek isle feel inside with something for everybody. The service is prompt and very sweet. read more

Awesome service coupled with delicious food and the entire inside has such a great vibe.

Food was ok. I got moussaka and I don't know what I had. That was not it. Clean good service.

This place is very cute nestled in old downtown New Port Richey in a building that's over 100 years old. The white walls with blue accents is clean, the exposed brick work is cool. The decorations feel like you are visiting Greece. The food is amazing. My mom ordered the Dolemades and the Calamari. The grape leaves are made daily, the Calamari appears to be house made as well. The coating was light and crispy. I ordered the Lamb Shank with orzo, it was so flavorful and tender. For desert I ordered My Mom a chocolate heart (a layer of chocolate cake, chocolate moose and covered in chocolate) I had the chocolate topped baklava. So good, and the perfect portion after a big meal. Their deserts are imported from Greece. The staff are warm and friendly. Our server Ali was amazing read more

Mediocre at best. We got 3 gyros. They were ok. The meat was very thick cut not what a typical gyro slice would be, the tomatoes were just as thick. It did have a good flavor and the tzatziki was good as well. The fried feta was a bought frozen product that was a little feta in a dough then battered. Something you could get at a dive bar from Sysco. Florida Greek salad, it's a salad with premade potato salad and again large and thick sliced tomatoes with a big piece of feta on top. The portion is nice but having to chop an entire salad doesn't make sense unless it's a wedge salad. We also got the pastitsio and the moussaka. Both were so inedible because there was so much nutmeg and spices in the béchamel we just threw them both away after one bite. My wife just spit hers out because of the flavor. Sorry but will not return when we throw away $28 on two items that they make in house. read more

Excellent food.... highly recommend appetizers---calamari... grilled octopus.. Main course.... Grilled lamb chops... lemon potatoes... and their deserts.... wow... Staff awesome . Owner- Poppi... kept checking on all tables... highly recommend & and we will be back... Oh and how they redecorated & updated restaurant...definitely Greek inspirited. with White & Blue... Good luck to all read more

I don't usually write reviews, but this new gem in downtown absolutely deserves the spotlight. From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The star of the show? Their Greek bowl--a vibrant, flavor-packed dish layered with perfectly grilled gyro , fresh veggies, tangy feta, and a zesty Greek dressing and tzatziki that tied it all together. It was fresh, filling, and beautifully presented. We kicked off our meal with the saganaki (flaming cheese)--a theatrical and delicious appetizer that instantly set the tone. Crisp on the edges, melty in the middle, and finished with a perfect splash of lemon. Opa-worthy, for sure! And then there's the gyro. Juicy, seasoned meat wrapped in pillowy soft pita with all the traditional fixings-- The quality of the food is easily 10/10. You can tell everything is made with care and premium ingredients. If you're a fan of Greek cuisine or just love exceptional food, this spot is a must-visit. I'll definitely return read more

My husband ordered the lamb shank with orzo special, and I ordered the spinach pie (a favorite). The spinach pie came with a salad and a block of feta cheese. The portions were significant for us; we both ordered sangria and were surprised to find about 1/3 of the glass filled with fresh fruit. We also had the dessert and took home a pork gyro. The prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was cheery. Bright rooms decorated with photograph murals of Greece. The dessert was baklava and was not overly sweet, freshly made! In conclusion, we found fresh food, excellent service, and delicious sangria at this restaurant. Everything was perfect, and the prices made the place worth it. For anyone reading this review, it was with trepidation that we wondered what could replace Rose's Bistro, but here we have a great place, great food, and a redecorated one. We will be back again and again. We are so relieved to have sensible and delicious fare in NPR. read more

Now that I've come on this website, I wish I would've taken pictures, but I couldn't wait to put it in my mouth, so I didn't even think of it. This is a great Greek restaurant that is run as it should be .the dishes, many which you can't get in this part of the world Are spot on. I had so many delicious things , and I can't wait to have so many more. The moussaka is truly eye opening. The halloumi is gourmet - great texture and grill flavour. Kafka is freshly ground and great tzatziki. Those balls are so juicy read more

Excellent atmosphere! food ! Service! Real greek!!! Free parking! Amazing experience!!!

usually we go to Dimitry's in tarpon springs when we visit the area. we tried ELA! at the recommendation of a friend of the family. we were quite disappointed. I ordered moussaka. it came out overcooked (the béchamel was dark brown) but the inside was barely lukewarm. I sent it back and ordered a gyro instead. my sister in law ordered spanakopita and same thing, the top was overcooked and the feta cheese inside was over overcooked and dry. my husband ordered lamb chops and loved them. it would be nice too if they lit the saganaki table side. probably wont return. read more
