This place is a hidden gem. This is our second time here and we decided to order the family style experience. Wow it did not disappoint. The food just kept on coming. The whole table was filled with different types of hummus, salad, chicken, beef etc. we will definitely be back.

We recently hosted a graduation party at Elena's, and our overall experience was exceptional. The food is amazing, the service is excellent and the bar service is perfect (with all types of top notch alcohol). The owner, management and service staff are all wonderful who clearly care about you and your experience. They deliver on all their promises. The food is plentiful, it keeps coming and very delicious (prepared at gourmet level). The event coordinator, Nicole, was easy and wonderful to work with. She makes sure that your event runs smoothly and without any problems. She makes herself available 24/7 for any questions and concerns. And their prices are very fair and reasonable, especially for all that you're getting. The value for your money is excellent.

I have been telling my friends and family about what an amazing experience we had with this restaurant. We had a fairly large party after a special occasion and Nicole took VERY good care organizing before the event and was very attentive to us during the event. Her service really stood out. The service was timing, friendly and quick. Very very pleased. My large party complemented the food as well and spoke highly of it as they expect to return for the food again. Thank you for taking very good care of me and my family on such a special day for us.

We had the best time celebrating my mom's bachelorette dinner at Elena's. The food was amazing and the staff was so wonderful. Can't wait to go back!

Quite possibly one of the best restaurants around the Burbank Airport. So glad I found this gem in my out of state travels. Would definitely recommend for delicious food and amazing service. Ask for Armen he delivers a great experience.

It's a great spot and one of our favorites in Burbank. It's not much to look at from the outside but the inside is great. Food is fantastic and there are lots of it. Been here 3 times now and it is consistently great. Very different from their Glendale location

I have been going to Elena's in Glendale for decades, so I thought to try out their upscale location in Burbank. It was disappointing, to say the least. I also felt bad for the employee. They were doing eveything-hosting, serving, food running, bussing, and bartendering. As for the food, the starters were good, but the mains were not. Overcooked and tough. They remade a couple of dishes, but the quality was much of the same. Honestly, I can't believe this place has been open for over a year. Will be sticking to Elena's in Glendale.

Great middle eastern food. The appetizers are delicious. I recomend it. The price is great as well.

Dear OpenTable team, We completed our 04/04/2025 reservations at Elena's Estiatorio in Burbank, CA. However, my OpenTable account was not credit for it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Dennis

Food wasn't great everything was over cooked. Only one staff person doing everything and he did the best he could but it didn't make the experience.

Pros: very good food including this fried cheese dough dish, four dip platter and the chicken. Another pro is a ton of pita and free parking in the neighborhood is easy to find if you don’t mind walking 1-5 minutes.

Cons: the food came out too quick and the service was too slow.
We went on Valentine’s Day and it seemed they were understaffed or we were working with an inexperienced waiter because we had to make eye contact EVERY SINGLE TIME to get our waiters attention - in total we were there for one hour and 45 minutes, not ideal.
While the service was slow, the food came out too quick, let me explain. We ordered the pre-fixed meal and so first they brought out the pita and cold appetizers. Then a few minutes later, they brought out more food and then nearly 3-5 minutes later when we hadn’t finished anything, they brought out the heated food aka the main dishes with Chicken Kabob, Chicken Skewers, rice and veggies. However we didn’t want the food to get cold and our table had no space for all that and drinks. So after 10-12 minutes of trying to get our waiters attention, we ere finally able to get them to take the warm food back in the kitchen.
Another con is the rice was plain and we told them we didn’t eat beef and they still gave us a beef appetizer dish which then took another 10-12 minutes to remind them we are not red meat eaters to get that taken away and replaced with more falafel balls, which we’re okay but certainly can count better falafel balls I’ve had in my life time.

We will never come back here again, maybe to go order will be a better situation but unsure it’s worth the cost and effort.
