Elena's Greek Armenian Restaurant

This place is a hidden gem and the food is very good. A light remodel would do wonders and they should mimic the theme of their Burbank location which is lovely and serves great food too!

Food was very good. I got the Laban Yogurt Kebab. The service was excellent. Food came out in a reasonable time. The price was fair. I will definitely come back. Only downside is that parking was a little tricky. Also the inside of the restaurant is more of a hole in the wall and not an inviting ambiance. Nonetheless- this is a good restaurant that's worth trying.

I order all the time from pistmates. I called to ask for a small side sauce , the manager was very rude. He said o had to go through pistmates. I tried he said it was too late. I asked if he could add one. I was just asking for a tiny sauce side. He made me feel like I was asking for a free entree.
Literally the worst person I've ever dealt when on the food industry. I thought he would spit in my food so I canceled and I will never go there again. Plenty of other Mediterranean n Greek places to go.

I had an amazing experience at Elena's Restaurant! The chicken breast kebab was perfectly cooked—unlike anything I’ve ever had. All the dips were incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. I left with a full belly and a big smile, already looking forward to my next visit.

This restaurant is amazingly delicious! Beyond words happy! The Kunafa was exquisite, the backlava out of the world delicious and the chicken kabobs to die for! Best Mediterranean Food I've ever had! Thank you for making such amazing food!!!!

Delicious food and wonderfully cozy place with kind staff. Some of the best food I’ve had. Can’t go wrong with the lentil soup and sampler for two. Very generous portions and wonderful flavor!

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was unprofessional and inattentive, with staff showing little regard for customer satisfaction. What’s even worse is the way they treat delivery drivers — with blatant disrespect and unnecessary rudeness. No one deserves to be treated that way, especially people working hard to deliver food. I will not be returning, and I won’t be recommending this place to anyone.

Elena's was established in the mid 70's and we have been eating here since the 80's. Both the service and food was great throughout the years, UNTIL the restaurant was sold and is now under new management within the last 5yrs or so..

The business being sold is not the issue if the new owner would have just kept everything as is! But that is not what HE DID! The change of ownership quickly became apparent when he instantly increased the price, reduced the portions of the food, and started charging substituted items. FOR EXAMPLE: Under the old management/owner, you are given the option to choose either soup or salad as your side on a their plate entrée. Either way you choose, there is no charge... However under this new management, he removed that option in that if you wanted soup instead of the salad, you get charge!

Fast forward now to 2025, the establishment must have received a lot of complaints about this because they now brought back the option of soup OR salad with no extra charge. However, this does not fix the other problems such as the price gauging and poor quality of meat they now serve. Not to mention, the portions are smaller now too... Unwilling to let tis place go, we decided to give it another chance last week. Unfortunately, the Chicken was bland and tough (which was probably an old chicken) . The lentil soup was runny AND bland (hardly no lentil in it!!) Unfortunately, we will NOT be back here.

This new owner is running this beloved restaurant into the ground! He does not know what he's doing! He's ruined this place for A LOT OF THE REGULARS! If you have just discovered this place from 2020 to current, this review might not mean anything to you. But if you've been eating here PRE-Covid and back, you know and agree that this place is NOT THE SAME AFTER IT WAS SOLD! SO SAD!

Delicious spot with a delightful staff and owner. Ordered the shrimp kabobs and an array of apps - fairly big portions and spot on taste.

Some of the best food in town! Love their lentil soup, cabbage and garlic! Their fires are so good!the kabobs, chili corn breast and pork chops are some of our favorites. Atmosphere is very casual, wish they would play some music (instead of random TV shows lol) and dimm the led lights a bit! :)
