Great food and great prices for sure!

by rmjinla

Had lunch here a while back and meant to review it immediately. It's worth writing about.

Glendale has no shortage of middle eastern eateries and I've tried a great many of them. Elena's is definitely in a league of it's own! For about $8 I got a huge plate of rice, trimmings and 2 skewers of chicken kebab and an Iced tea. The food was really very great and the price incredible!

The wait staff is exceptionally friendly too. What's not to love about Elena's?

I highly recommend it!

The Best!!!!

by harryik

If your looking for delicious food and value this is the place for Armenian food, The portions are generous and arrive at your table hot and appetizing to the eye. My favorites the falafal plate and, the gyros. All dinners are served with a choice of lentel soup or salad, delicious humus, pita, french fries or the most delicious rice. I usually order food to go and it is always ready when I arrive. The people are warm and friendly and greet you with a smile. The place was remodled a few years and is welcoming. The best buy in Glendale!!!

Awesome food, cheap prices

by Peanut

For $11, you can get soup, full dinner. They do make the best hummus, and the service is friendly. If you are hungry for Armenian food and not looking for frills, this is it.

  • Pros: Awesome hummus
  • Cons: Very simple, homestyle restaurant

Excellent service and hearty portions

by beekay2006

I tried out this restaurant for the very first time today and was pleasantly surprised. Besides the hearty portions, the staff was very warm and welcoming. I've lived in Glendale now for a few years and like to try out different foods. Have been to a lot of armenian bakeries and restaurants and have been ignored or dismissed. I have noticed the trend in glendale that a lot of armenian businesses are very rude and resentful towards non-armenian patrons. I did not feel this vibe at Elena's at all. My food cost $10.02 and the waitress was kind enough to only ask me for $10(whoa, i saved a whole 2cents!!!!).

Highly recommend!!!!!
