    We came here on a whim to feed our hungry girls before the LA Zoo. We ordered a chicken thigh plate and beef luleh. The beef was seasoned well and very easy to eat. The chicken thigh was very tender and juicy. The dishes were served with rice, grilled tomato, and onion with sumac as well as a thin lavash. I enjoyed the food very much. But I have to admit I've had better Persian food many times before. Not bad though.

    Cannot recommend.. This did not meet any of my expectations. I usually order a little bit from a restaurant I've never been to, damn me for not doing so here! I ordered too much!!! Too much unworthy food! Pictures and reviews from others suggested it would be good, but nope! I've ate at lots of other restaurants of similar, and nothing is like this, rather bland and uneventful. The chicken shish kebab was dry, and not much flavor. The pork ribs were decent. The ribeye steak was not the best. Considering that they state they use Harris Ranch, man I expected a great steak! Uneven cook on it too. I ordered a side onion, wth did they give me, a burnt onion?! Their sumac onions were not made right! Throwing some seasoning on some onions does not make it sumac onions! Things that were right? The roasted tomato, the roasted jalapeño. Possibly the hummus, as I quite liked the consistency and flavor. Wished the food was better. I don't understand their rating. Located right next to the popular and famous Paradise Bakery too.

    Delicious food and friendly service. Tonight was our first time dining here. I ordered the lamb chop combo plate and a side of hummus. We also ordered the steak combo plate and the magic wrap (not pictured). The proteins were delicious and seasoned well and each item had a good amount of protein and sides. I just wish hummus automatically came with each entrée order.

    Found this place off of Facebook and heard many great things about it, really wanted to try it out. We didn't sit down inside the restaurant, but we got our foods to go. My expectations were quite high, especially how many good reviews this place had. Honestly overall, the food was okay and didn't truly blow my mind. The food was very fair priced, maybe that's what truly attracts people.

    First time here and I really liked the concept. It's pretty cool that you can order both cooked and raw meat, with the option to get a platter as well. There were lots of side options to choose from, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The service was great too. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely come back.

    I love Mediterranean food and this place was recommended by our friends…read more Food: 5/5 The quality of food here is amazing. We ordered two of the carousel plates with four different meats: beef, veal, filet, and chicken. The beef and chicken kebabs were super flavorful. It paired deliciously with their rice, roasted veggies, and cabbage salad. I also love their crispy thin pita chips. I was not a fan of the veal liver as it was too gamey for me. Overall the food was really good and the portion sizes were great. Drinks: 3/5 The drinks here were not that good. They were a dollar or two higher than your regular bar. However, the taste was mediocre. Their hibiscus Paloma was very bland and a little watered down. Service: 5/5 We came here on a Friday night at 7pm, we had a reservation and got seated pretty quickly despite it being quite busy. Our server checked up on our table often and our food came out pretty fast. They also gave out some bread, cheese, veggies, and olives while we waited for our food. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is lively and feels a little upscale. They have an outdoor seating area as well. Overall, I would come back here for the food, but maybe not the drinks.

    My group and I ordered the family style meal for $40 per person (tip and tax about $50 per person)…read more This was an amazing decision because we got to try a bit of everything and there was so much food, we couldn't finish it all.

That's not all, tip will also be requested when checking out. Our Visit: My family and I have visited Elena's before and had a good experience, which is why this visit was so disappointing. This time, we noticed a clear drop in food quality, portion sizes, overall service and an unexpected new surprise on the bill. I came in with my wife, our two young children (10month old and 2 year old), and my mom. Unfortunately, the pita bread was stale, a portion of my wife's chicken was undercooked, the portions were noticeably smaller than before, and the server completely forgot my mom's drink. Those issues alone were frustrating, but what really stood out were the added fees at the end, fees that were not charged in the past. We were charged a 20% "large party fee", along with an additional "service fee". When I spoke with the owner, he explained that their system automatically applies a large party charge to any group of 4 or more people, including babies who don't even order food. That threshold seems unusually low, especially since most places consider 6 or more a "large party" and from my experience typically don't consider babies 2 years and younger as occupants. Even more concerning, none of these fees were clearly communicated to us beforehand. Being surprised with multiple charges at the end of a meal feels misleading and leaves a bad impression. To add to that, after already including these fees, the payment process still prompts customers to leave an additional tip. I've only seen this type of fee structure at higher-end restaurants and for more people, not at a casual spot like this, and even then it's usually disclosed upfront. If a business is going to charge extra, the service and overall experience should reflect that. My recommendation for Elena's, if you want to make more money, just raise your food prices so your customers at least know how much they're going to spend at the end. Not slap surprise charges at the end and force your customers to pay. On a positive note, at least they were playing Fast and the Furious on their TV. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BILL. Please be aware of their shady business practices.

    Date of visit: February 16, 2026…read more Selections: Chicken & Salmon Grilled Plate Loaded Grilled Corn Experience: I was inspired to find a Mediterranean place for lunch after the doctor suggested I should try the Mediterranean diet lolz Super rainy day and was lucky that I got parking near the front of the restaurant. I was overwhelmed by the lit up menu above the cashier counter since it ranged from grilled plates to salads and even wraps I finally landed on the Chicken & Salmon Grilled Plate for dine-in since I was indecisive on what kind of protein I wanted and got a Loaded Grilled Corn to go. I opted for half and half which was rice and salad as well as the spicy hummus. I liked how open the restaurant is with the tables spread out far enough from each other that it felt like I was in my own bubble as I read my book while waiting for the food to be done. I was surprised minutes later that they brought your food to the table and was excited when the plate came out and my corn already packed up. I was expecting the corn to be like esquite but it was corn on the cob, but that was my bad for assuming. Between the salmon and the chicken, I loved the salmon since it was crispy and juicy as well. Chicken was good too. Not a big raw veggie person when it comes to tomatoes, but happily ate it with my salad and proteins. Definitely only ate half of my meal since it was a lot and got the rest to go with a bunch of sumac packets since it's my fave seasoning with this food. So glad I was able to find and try this place out! Definite felt pricey when paying at first but the quality of food and service you get is worth it.

The food is incredible, the service is fast, and the place spotless. I've tried several wraps, plates, and salads, and every dish has been nothing short of delicious.
