Consistently good. Ive eaten at Elias many times, I like everything but the tabbouleh ,which has too much parsley and lemon juice for my personal taste.
Great Mediterranean or Lebanese food! I always get the baba as an app, then something new and have not been disappointed. I recommend you check out Eli’s and enjoy!
Wonderful Experience. My dad was visiting and we wanted to try something different. We both like Greek food so we decided to give Elia's a try. Despite what UrbanSpoon says this is not a Greek restaurant - it is Lebanese. This was not an issue for us - the tastes are very similar, slight differences. We ordered the Mezzah, Mixed Grill and Tiropita and were not disappointed in anything. The food was wonderful and the service friendly and helpful. We will be returning, and I would recommend this place! Wow is the best way to describe our experience - it was dining, not just eating out.

The new location is very nice and im glad she reopened, Elias is a Southbend gem with consistently good food,
Stopped in tonight and had a great meal. The service is wonderful, the staff very friendly. The restaurant is very nice inside, if only they had a better view! Had the gyro, which I thought was awesome and my wife the shawarma, which she really enjoyed (but she liked mine better). Great place, stop in if you're a fan of Greek/Mediterranean Food.
Amazing Food. My absolute favorite place in town to get fresh, delicious comfort food. I have eaten here countless times and am never disappointed. As a vegetarian I find Elias to have some of the best options when I am in the mood to go out. The garlic paste and tabouli are always fantastic and the portion sizes are large enough I always get two meals out of every visit. One of my favorites is the veggie combo, the falafel is light and always cooked perfectly. The move from the previous location to this one finally aligns the ambience of the restaurant with the quality of the food! I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!
Never had a bad meal here. Warm, attentive employees and excellent food made with love!
Best food in town. The first time i came here I had an amazing expierence. The hummous and veggies are very fresh. I also has the shish tawouk, my husband had a gyros, my friend and her husband had the lamb kebab and salmon. The lamb kebab was extreamly juicy with delicious rice. They absolutely loved it. Everything was perfectly cooked! If you haven't been here yet i highly suggest you try it. You will not be dissapointed.
The potato leek soup and garlic paste are really good. I has the hummas and veggies, too, which were also good and fresh.
Not the flavor I was seeking.... Tried it today for the first time. Just started getting into falafel and mediterranean foods. It might be a matter of taste, but I though the falafel were greasy and too puffy like hush puppies. I tried Pita Grille in Granger and the falafel were not greasy and almost creamy inside, very good. I was looking for very herby and garlicky flavors in the salad dressing and didn't get that. I may come back to try something else, but I will try other places first to compare like Falafel Express and Alladdin's. Service was great though!
Another SB favorite.. When it comes to Mediterranean fare, Elia's is the clear choice in Michiana (and, for a long time, seemingly only choice). Luckily for us, the food is absolutely wonderful, and the dining experience is much improved in their new location.
All of the appetizers shine, as do the meat and vegetarian entrees. Shish tawouk and falafel seem to be recurring favorites with those we have dined with at Elia's. Hoummos, tabouleh, garlic paste, etc. -- all of it is delicious.
The only downside to Elia's is the price for dinner. The food is great, but it is on the pricey side for what you get. Lunch is the far more economical option (the falafel sandwich being a particularly good deal). We even use Elia's for grape leaves for our Greek-themed family Easter.
Highly recommend. Also recommend reservations if going on a weekend evening.
Legg of lamb mouth watering
Garlic paste is to die for! Shish tawook very good, even for children. Hummus less flavorful.
My wife and I love this place. Outstanding mezza, and kabobs are great. Will keep coming back as long as they keep doing what they do. The new location is also very nice.
Large portions and authentic dishes. Eaten here three time in the last month or so. Twice for dinner and once for lunch.
The hummus is ok but the baba ghannouge was great as an appetizer.
Shush Tawook- grilled marinated chicken and rice was fantastic.
The restaurant decor is clean and modern. Service is good but speed of the dishes out of the kitchen can be slow.
Incredible, authentic mediterranean food!. The food here is awesome. I have tried most things on the menu, and everything is fresh and delicious. The hummus is the best I have ever had and the chicken breast is delicious. All of the vegetarian options are amazing, this is definitely a great place for vegans and vegetarians! The vegetables are fresh and crispy, and all of the sauces and dips are superb. I cannot say enough about this place! It is a little expensive, but well worth it. Definitely a local gem!
Great salads and dips. The salads and dips are great. I especially love the baba ganoush and the tabouleh. Hopefully, some day they'll make/buy better pita to really showcase the great dips. I'm not a fan of the falafel and I don't understand why there's a pickle in the falafel sandwich. I may be overly critical since I moved to SB from NYC - the cheap and delicious falafel capital of America - but I do love everything else on the menu.
A Local Treat. I only had Falafel's as well prepared as Elia's one other time in my life! I love how they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce is very tasty.
It is hard to write about their food without my mouth watering!
Now, I have to go back really soon!!
Good food at a fair price. I have eaten at Elia's a couple times recently. The food is prepared well and all parts of the dish complement each other in taste. This is a great restaurant to go to and also provides options for vegetarians which is rare.
Great!. On a recent dinner outting, my wife and I went to Elia's, one of our favorite restaurants in the area. I am always greeted by name and the family there is extremely friendly. But, the reason you should go to Elia's is the excellent Lebanese oriented cuisine. It is always prepared fresh and definately worth every penny! My wife ordered the Lentils and rice and I ordered the Grill Combo dish. They were prepared to perfection and the portions were huge! It made our night out that much more enjoyable to eat in a friendly enviornment with great food and excellent service! I would definately recommend this restaurant to everyone!
I have been eating there for years. I went there this afternoon for lunch and it is just as good if not better every year. Wonderful taste of Mediterranean food here in the local area.
