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.

Did a random search for Mediterranean food and stumbled across Elena’s. So happy that we decided to try something new. The decor and ambiance of Elena’s was very nice. Modern, clean and nice big space. We were greeted with a smile by the host and the wait staff was also very friendly. The food was very delicious…the sharable dip for two was amazing! Each item was delicious in its own way. Portion was very big so we ended up taking the leftover home. We also got the combination plate with filet and lamb. Meat was tender and juicy and that rice was amazing. Looking forward to going back to try their fish.

Best 2024 Dine LA Restaurant. Dined at the Glendale Elena’s for many years and decided to try their new upscale sister restaurant. Wife and I both had the $25 Diners LA Lunch #1. Usually you see sections on Dine LA menu and can only choose one item from each section…here you get it all! (See the menu pic). So much food to sample…you will know what to order for you next visit. Interior done well with large seats and tables. They also serve beer and cocktails. Well done!

Had a really lovely dinner here. My husband and I honeymooned in Greece and are always on the lookout for good Mediterranean food here in LA. Elena's didn't disappoint! Servers were friendly, food was delicious (the garlic lemon dip that comes with the complimentary pita bread was especially yummy), drinks were great. Really liked the interior of the restaurant too. Will definitely come 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.

Elena’s is my new obsession! This Greek spot in Burbank is an absolute gem. I usually get the falafel plate, and it’s always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Before the meal, they bring out the most delicious hors d’oeuvres with warm pita, such a treat! The service is lovely, welcoming, and attentive. Everything about Elena’s feels fresh, tasty, and made with care. I can’t wait to keep coming back!

Very good food here, and usually when I come, it’s not busy at all, and is a friendly, upscale environment. The location is great, however not much parking. But the food here is extremely good. Love the lentil soup and chicken kabobs. Would definitely recommend for a nice Mediterranean restaurant in Burbank.

This place is amazing! The gyro beef and lamb with hand cut french fries is phenomenal. The Boreg crispy cheese is very tasty! The Tabbuleh, hummus, eggplant Babaganoush, Muhammara, and Labni (Armenian yogurt cheese topped with dried mint, crushed aleppo peppers, and diced tomatoes) from the “sampler for two” is absolutely brilliant. The beef Lula kebab and the chicken shish kebab are excellent as well. Noah was our server and did a great job as well. The picture is of the sampler for two. We will be back!
