It was our first visit to Elaine's and it won't be our last. We were blown away by this restaurant -- the delicious food, the warm welcome, the gracious service, beautiful ambiance, and excellent drinks. There were so many enticing items on the many that it was hard to decide, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Elaine's is our go to restaurant and it never disappoints. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. We enjoy ordering a variety of appetizers to share especially the halloumi goulash, fried cauliflower, hummus, and the beet salad. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience for a birthday day date with my husband. Jeff, the author and spouse of the lead chef, was great. The staff was kind and personable. The food was delicious. The drinks were amazing. We can't wait to come back!

We were very impressed with the quality of the dishes (grilled branzino and seared scallops) and the owner's willingness to accommodate food allergies and adjust the dishes accordingly. I highly recommend Elaine's for anyone looking for a fantastic meal that can be tailored to meet challenging dietary requirements. We'll definitely be back!

I went there on my birthday and I send a note to them that it was my birthday They didn't do anything for me, not even saying happy birthday to me 😞

Wonderful experience! The staff was very attentive. The owner introduced himself and explained the inspiration for the recipes and spoke about his family. Would definitely go back and highly recommend. The restaurant was also quiet and my group was able to converse.

We dined at Elaine's and had a fabulous experience. Hostess/Server/Owner were very pleasant and professional, and all made us feel like valued customers! Food and service was fantastic! Hummus, Brussels, Cauliflower, and Blackened Cod... all were delicious! Highly recommend!
Food and service were great, the atmosphere was very nice and the noise level wasn't too loud.

Fantastic first time dining at Elaine's. Everything was great and we look forward to dining here often including for special occasions. We tried the baba ghanoush and crispy Brussels to start - both amazing. Entrees we chose were the blackened cod - incredible and chicken shish - also strong. Dessert was a baklava cheesecake - yum! Drinks and wine were also great.
Janell
Great cocktails, blacken cod and branzino selections were amazing. Love the special attention by the owner/host.

Elaine's is truly a special place. Food, service, and ambiance are fantastic. A true gem in Alexandria! If you love Egyptian food you must try their Koshary! I especially enjoyed the mousaka and steak kebabs. Cynthia is so welcoming and kind. I went with friends and we will dine here every time we come to Alexandria.
