    I love this place. Chipotle for Mediterranean food! Everything is really flavorful, fresh! Staff are happy to offer suggestions, the fries are good! Once they made a mistake with my food and they fixed it up for me! The fries they originally gave me were really soggy, limp and cold. So they made me fresh fries!

    Be sure to get the authentic gyro! Didn't realize that gyros come with pork in Greece. With the fries on top, it was a hearty gyro!

    Holy cow!  The best Greek street food I have had in the US.  I believe either the owner or someone connect was at the register and the pride in service was very notable.

    Let me quantify. Having lived in Greece for a couple of years, gyros became a staple as well as a comfort food.  Tzatziki with strong garlic and French fries within was a hallmark for central Greece. Elia has the southern flair, but yes, it's comforting.

    I do appreciate the American spin of spicy feta.

    Great food and I look forward to tracking back here to try additional items.

    I was introduced to Elia through winning a meal on an instagram giveaway, and I'm so happy I found it! There are many fresh options available.  I ordered the falafel with hummus, which is so tasty!  Think if it as a "chipotle for Mediterranean food".  You pick a bowl, salad or pita, followed by protein, veggies, sauces.  I will be returning!

    I was pretty ecstatic that Eliá decided to open up a location near campus. It's build your own, a good price, and filling!

    I came on Sunday after a group meeting on campus and there was one other guy sitting in there eating. It was well past the lunch hour. Almost 3 o'clock, so I wasn't shocked that it wasn't busy.

    Anyway, service was fantastic! The guy making my pork yeero was humorous and made conversation with me. He told me that Eliá still doesn't have soups on their menu :( I'm guessing people didn't really order it so they've eliminated it completely from their offerings.

    The pork yeero was wrapped well. Like perfect! I put tzaziki in there, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and fries. When I took a bite, it was still just as flavorful as usual but this time, a bit greasier than I remembered. It was a little disappointing and unappetizing.

    I'm open to returning although I'm never on this side of campus much. I'm sure I'll be at the one downtown a bit more.

    The space was great though! Fusian was formerly located here and for some reason, closed down. I think Eliá will do great in this spot!

    Welcome to Greek chipotle. Same layout and order style. You have your protein. Their veggie option of course is falafel. I got the falafel  pita. It was ok. Nothing too exciting. They have pitas and bowls. Place look clean and friendly staff
