The ambiance is fantastic—a truly romantic and private setting for special occasions. We visited to celebrate my wife's birthday, and the service was exceptional. The crème brûlée is a must-try if you go. The only downside was that some meals were out of the menu, and I wanted to try the lamb. Overall, it’s a great place to visit.

From beginning to end, my wife and I were wowed! We came on a mini trip from Florida and started looking up places on TikTok. That’s where I found Ela. It looked amazing, so we thought, “Why not?” Nick was our server, and he was absolutely AMAZING. As first-timers, we trusted his recommendations, and he did not steer us wrong at all! From the Moroccan Hot Chicken to the cauliflower falafel and mussels, ending the night with the black pepper lamb, and topping it off with the GREEK FRO-YO—it was a night filled with incredible flavors and vibes. Those who live nearby are so lucky! This visit made us excited to return to Atlanta and bring our family and friends to Ela. Another huge shoutout to Nick—he knows everything there is to know and answered all our questions. The FOH staff overall was fantastic!
