Elia's food is fresh, reasonably priced and delicious. There is something for everyone, even if they do not prefer the more unusual dishes. Their garlic paste and hummous are awesome, as well as everything I have tried on the menu since they have been in business (10 years maybe?). Sweet treats too. Great for vegetarian options. Service very efficient. The... More

It has a nice little ambience to it with a menu that is neither pricey or cheap. You can enjoy a glass of wine or beer with your meal. They have small desserts to enjoy after your meal (I don't believe they are made in house, however) Service is casual and reliable. Food is consistently good (although they could make... More

My wife's birthday was yesterday, March 20th and I decided to take her to Elia's. We like to try different foods, and I knew she always wanted to go there. I tell you the truth, the food was excellent, and the service was Awesome. We will defiantly be going back often. If you never tasted Mediterranean food before, and always... More

There are other much better Mediterranean restaurants in the area. We are garlic fans BUT, the amount they use here is way over the top. It was so potent that it was not edible.

I ate at Elia's on a recent trip to South Bend - I have to say I was surprised. Was not really sure what I would get in South Bend, but the food was flavorful, the service was great, the restaurant is simple yet very pleasant. If you happen to be in South Bend and have a taste for Mediterranean... More

Their vegetarian combo is excellent. Their falafels are super light and yummy, and their vegetarian grape leaves are out of this world. It's nice a quiet which makes for a great place to lunch withe friends and/or business meetings.

....and I am still ordering the same thing after close to a year. I'm not usually one to order the same thing over and over but I am addicted to their Chicken Shwarma. It seems to be the best/the most moist when I order it on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Ditto with the garlic paste. The pita bread is hit and... More

Ate here with my wife and daughter, and thought the food was superb. Service was friendly and price was reasonable - if we are ever back in South Bend, we'll be back!
