A charming neighborhood restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine, offering quick and efficient service. The food is high-quality and generously portioned at reasonable prices. Convenient parking is available across the street in the church parking lot."

March 2025

We are exploring new places for simple date nights near our new home - found the terrific Elena's last week. Food was really well prepared (even leftovers were delicious, repurchased in soft tortillas). The beef kabobs, filet mignon, were amazing - and fries were a nice alternative to rice. Lamb kabobs were also good, with nice rice. The appetizer/spreads combo was great - excellent tabbouleh and baba ghanouj. I would have loved a little more "Greek", like egg lemon...

March 2025

Great kabobs with tons of flavor and amazing texture, their humus is also a must try! If you’re in the area, definitely give them a try, they’re one of the best kabob spots in the heart of Glendale.
