Elenas Restaurant in Ulm

We almost walked past it. It's set back a bit. Nice, modern interior. I would have liked a bit more Greek decor. Friendly staff, who were happy to provide more drinks. Greek music played in the background. We had the trilogy for starters: chicken with Metaxa sauce and the lamb kebab. Everything was delicious. We were impressed by the taste. If we lived here, we would eat here more often.

A huge thank you to the entire team! We were helped at very short notice. The facilities are beautiful and have a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious – a real treat. Thanks to you, we were able to say goodbye in a dignified manner, and a difficult day was brightened a little bit by your care and professionalism. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you!

Delicious, and as an experienced Greek eater and amateur Greek cook I can say this.

Our absolute favorite Greek restaurant in Ulm/Neu-Ulm. Good quality, beautifully presented, and delicious. What more could you want?

Unfortunately, it wasn't my cup of tea... The typical farmer's salad I'm used to with my gyro is only available for a 3 euro surcharge... there was a small mixed salad with yogurt sauce on the side... :( The typical tomato rice was only available with the gyro upon request. There was no free ouzo at the end either... That's typical for me, too; it's a shame you apparently have to ask for it to get it for free. The food was otherwise quite tasty. It was a Friday and the restaurant was very loud... Conversations were only possible with the neighbors and across the street. So, unfortunately, not worth a visit for me again.

Very good food at fair prices. Very pleasant and modern ambiance, very attentive service 👍

The gyro was delicious. I'll be back soon.

Very good! The staff are super friendly, funny, and always in a good mood. The food is absolutely delicious. Always beautifully presented. The decor in the restaurant is also very nice. You can have great parties and have lovely evenings. We always enjoy coming here.

We spontaneously decided to stop by for a quick bite to eat at 8:40 p.m. on a Friday night while passing through. The advertised opening time was 11 p.m. When we asked if they had room for two, the only response we got was a curt "the kitchen is closing." We weren't even offered a cold selection. Unfortunately, that's a no-go on a Friday night and at the advertised opening time.

I had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious Greek dish—and it was a complete success! The dish was not only visually stunning, but also absolutely delicious.

We were here on a Saturday evening. Reservations are required, and parking is available nearby. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly. It was a shame that we all ended up sitting with empty glasses and weren't even asked if we wanted another drink. . . The ambiance was lovely, with creative decor.

We wanted to celebrate a birthday there as a family with three generations and had reserved a table. Unfortunately, we were greeted so unfriendly and arrogantly that we spontaneously decided to leave the restaurant before we even ordered our food and spend the evening elsewhere.

Authentic Greek food in the heart of Neu-Ulm! Highly recommended—reminded us of our last vacation in Greece. The ambiance, service, and dishes are a solid 5/5. Efcharistó!

This was our first, but not our last, visit. The food was all delicious and super fresh. Excellent service and a lovely atmosphere.

If you're expecting quality food, this is the wrong place for you. What you can realistically expect is a ready-made salad with ready-made dressing from a discount store. It's more like "fast food" cuisine, which has nothing to do with restaurant quality.

A true hidden gem in Ulm! Top-notch Greek food at a great price. The restaurant is tucked away along the water. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is very helpful.

We celebrated our daughter's confirmation at the restaurant. Unfortunately, despite prior arrangements, no decorations were prepared outside – no tablecloth, no decorations. When we asked, the manager simply said, "We can't do that." Without explanation or suggested solutions – that was very disappointing on such a special day. The service, however, was very friendly and attentive. The food was fine. Perhaps okay for a casual gathering, but unfortunately not recommended for important celebrations.

We spontaneously arrived that evening without a reservation. When we arrived, we had already seen a larger group, but still wanted to ask if a table for two was available. The waiters were rather unfriendly. Instead of simply saying honestly that it was bad at the moment and that there was limited space, they spoke to each other in Greek, and it was clear from their facial expressions and gestures that we weren't welcome. We were very rudely directed to a table outside, and here, too, they rolled their eyes several times. We ordered everything together relatively quickly. We realized that they were desperate to "get rid of us." There was no service at all. If they had stated from the beginning that they didn't have a table, it wouldn't have been a problem. And we weren't the only ones who had such an incident; a few guests after us, who also hadn't reserved, were also treated rather unfriendly. The food itself was good, but it was only served lukewarm. We won't be coming again.

We were guests on Saturday evening, or rather, we didn't feel like guests. Apparently, everything was reserved. If so, it was only for an hour at a poorly located table, without sun protection in about 27 degrees. There were still plenty of other tables available by the time we left. We understand that reservations take priority. But with a little goodwill, another solution could have been found for an hour. Normally, we would have left, but it was on our way home. Conclusion: not recommended when the restaurant is at capacity. Some restaurant owners have only themselves to blame when, during bad times, no more guests come and they eventually have to close.

Very tasty, friendly waiters, fast service, cozy, no problems with parking

Delicious dishes, large portions at a fair price! 👍GREAT!!!

Very friendly service. The baked gyro and tzatziki are delicious.

Our celebration was a success. The food, the setting, and the atmosphere were all fantastic. Our guests were very pleased with everything. Thank you, Elena and the team, for the wonderful evening.

The food was good. A few things were forgotten when ordering (the change of order wasn't taken into account, and the appetizer wasn't even brought). After the first few drinks, we were only asked once during the evening if we wanted anything else, and at the end, we didn't get the usual obligatory ouzo.

The food was delicious and the portions were decent. Our table wasn't the best, being right by the door, but since we didn't have a reservation, it was perfectly fine.

Everything is just right here, the service, the food and the ambience!

Great food, great atmosphere. We could even dance in the evening. Really had a great evening. Experience gastronomy. Thank you

The walk from the RV site to Elena was more than worth it, very good food and a nice location!

We were guests in the restaurant last Saturday evening. We had reserved a table for six people at 8 p.m. When we entered the restaurant it was very loud. We sat down and ordered. Unfortunately, a conversation between six people was not possible. You could only talk to the person next to you or the person opposite you. Three family celebrations were attended there. But the highlight was that at 9:30 p.m., we hadn't even finished our food, the party lights and party music started. This evening was a disappointment for us. We only get together every few months and after almost a week I'm still annoyed about what we had to experience there. I have nothing against partying and having fun. I was in a restaurant not a club. You should have told me what to expect when making the reservation. Then we would certainly have chosen another restaurant because we wanted to eat in peace and chat. What remained was a bill of almost €300.00 and a not so nice experience. This wasn't my first time as a guest. But unlike the other visits, this time it was very unpleasant.

Update to owner's response: In the menu there is the dish Kritharaki (rice noodles with metaxa sauce) to which the "noodles" refers. In fact, the Creta plate was meant. But you don't see any liver in the description online. Unfortunately, the correct naming of the dishes does not change the rating. You shouldn't read sarcasm into it... Then the palates of real guests, which we obviously weren't according to them, are used to something different than ours. The fact remains for us, it was simply not a pleasure as described below, since we can and were able to draw comparisons, especially in our region, to Greek restaurants over which Dionysus holds his hand, sorry. An absolute disappointment... There were two of us eating. There was the pasta with metaxa sauce and the grilled plate with gyros and liver. The food came quickly and that was also the positive thing about the visit. The noodles were barely al dente and the sauce was so weak that you could only imagine the Metaxa. I know this better from our regular Greeks at home. Keyword better, the liver was endlessly tough and the gyros was endlessly mushy. Luckily for the price, only a handful. Side dishes, yes, went well with rice and chips. All in all just a better snack bar with higher prices. Where was the passion on the kitchen day? Olympus has probably turned its back. Sorry once and never again. I'm just wondering where all the 5 star ratings come from...

“Everything was at the highest level, thank you for the hospitality!”

Reservation system doesn't work or we didn't get any response for 5 hours and then we found out by phone that there was no more space.

The restaurant is highly recommended, great food service also top :)

The atmosphere was simply wonderful and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was an absolute highlight – freshly prepared and full of flavor. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

The space of the restaurant is very nice and pleasant. The staff was very friendly and the food came quickly without a long wait. The food is also very tasty and can really be recommended.

As always, just perfect! The food was incredibly tasty, fresh and authentically prepared. The service was warm and attentive. An absolute must for anyone who loves Greek cuisine! We always enjoy coming back. Thanks!

very good food and very friendly staff, the bar keeper was also very professional

very nice restaurant in a very pleasant place, the food tasted very good and the waiting time was also good, the staff were very friendly, I can only recommend it, I will definitely come again.

Very good food and nice staff highly recommended

Very friendly service and the gyro was excellent

It's better not to go there with a dog. Despite reservations, we were supposed to sit at a table right in the entrance area and our dog would be in the way of all guests. It wasn't even necessary to explain ourselves, we were directed to the table with a nod from 5m away. Of course we immediately turned around.

The food was beautifully presented. The liver was dry. The service didn't ask... What a shame!

A restaurant you always have to visit... The staff are all very polite and accommodating... They adapt to each guest and that's what I call professionalism... My hard-working colleagues and I have been visiting this restaurant for years... and it is always a wonderful and warm one Welcome .... I can't understand the negative reviews, but no one can please these customers... no matter where they are... I highly praise the boss and the entire team, from the kitchen to the service staff... Keep it up and never let negative people demotivate you... Kind regards, Uwe Zikeli

We enjoyed the large and typical Greek dishes in a cozy atmosphere. The highlight for me were the garlic fries, where they didn't skimp on the garlic. The gyro was buttery soft.

Food was delicious, service still has room for improvement in every respect. What I personally find really terrible is that you have to go behind the counter to pay and you can't pay at the table, which makes the whole thing very uncomfortable.

One of the most beautiful restaurants in Ulm and the surrounding area, either to start the day great or to end it brilliantly with delicious meals. 😘

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. I can really recommend it

Delicious Greek dishes and good service

Very tasty and lots of vegetarian options!

Very nice restaurant, delicious food, friendly staff and a super nice atmosphere.

Finally a restaurant where my wife, as a vegetarian, could choose from several dishes! Food excellent quality. The kitchen has a team of specialists who can replace each other! The price is reasonable. You feel very comfortable in the atmosphere of the restaurant! It was delicious and we felt good! Parked right in front of the restaurant! Is barrier-free!

I can only warmly recommend Elena's. Great atmosphere. Very good and high quality delicious food. The boss himself is a great guy and we had a really nice evening. I had a mix of Crete plates and grill plates 😁 The liver was definitely amazing. 5 stars from me and always with pleasure. Thanks for the great evening.

Were there for the first time today. Great food, nice ambience and nice service. We'll be back. :-)

We were at Elena's for the first time today and will definitely be back. During the warm welcome, we were informed that the team had to be reorganized today due to illness. That didn't detract from the food or the service. We enjoyed it very much! The children were served first, everything went very quickly overall... and the quality was top notch! Definitely a recommendation!

Great ambiance, consistently good service, and excellent food. Highly recommended.

We were very impressed. The food was delicious, and the owner, who served us, was very nice. If we're ever in Ulm again, we'll definitely go there again.

The food was okay, but there was very little meat for the price. There was no ouzo, as you'd expect at a Greek restaurant. 😩 The staff was quick and friendly.

Four of us and our dog came here for dinner on Thursday. We had a lovely evening here. The food was sensational, super tasty, and the ingredients were top-notch. The service was always very attentive and courteous. We'd love to come back, highly recommended 👍

Delicious crispy fried gyros and fine bifsteki filled with feta cheese, served with a side salad of fresh ingredients. Great! We'd love to come back.

We celebrated our Christmas party in this restaurant...they created a great festive atmosphere for us. The food was very good, the wine too, the staff was very kind and attentive despite the many people. The location is great... along the Danube River. There are also parking spaces nearby. I will visit it again

Conveniently located in Neu-Ulm, easy to reach on foot, by car, or by bike. Cozy, warm atmosphere, no smell of food. Pretty Christmas decorations. Delicious, well-seasoned food.

The food is always absolutely delicious. Berke and his colleagues are incredibly friendly. We feel completely at home.

I can't say anything positive or negative about the food, service, or ambiance. I made a reservation online and received a confirmation by email. Then I wanted to call a few days later to make sure everything went smoothly, as it was a meal with work colleagues. I was very rudely informed on the phone that my reservation was no longer valid and there were no more appointments available. Then they simply hung up without an apology, not a single word of regret. Rating: not recommended!

This was our second time there and unfortunately we were not treated courteously by the staff or the boss. Actually the food and service were good the first time. We made reservations online for the evening in the afternoon, but did not receive a confirmation until the booked time. Nevertheless we went. When we arrived we were told that reservations were not possible online and that getting a table on Saturday was also impossible. We were turned away very rudely and simply left standing in the conversation. I don't understand why online booking is offered if you can't manage it. Very unfortunate and unfortunately quite unprofessional.

It was very nice, everything was perfect, the food was very tasty, I highly recommend it!

Very, very tasty food, everything tasted great, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, we felt very comfortable because the service was extremely friendly and accommodating. In my opinion the best Greek restaurant I've been to!

Great restaurant! Very nice decor and ambience, the food just as you would imagine, staff super polite and quick, can only be recommended.

I was very enthusiastic about the Greek food, the waiters were very nice, the atmosphere was also very, very nice and I would highly recommend it

Maybe a bit exaggerated for some, but we really liked it in this restaurant. We came especially once from Memmingen and Stuttgart. We definitely don't regret a minute we spent there. Very good food. Fast and polite service and above all a good atmosphere. Ps: You can't be 100% satisfied but I would like to see more Greek music at Elena's.!! We will definitely come again!

Very well-kept Greek restaurant with a good selection of food.

Stopped here for a short time. Everything from salad to grilled dishes was ordered. The dishes were very tasty and good. Prices a bit high. Dogs allowed. Music very very loud. Staff hostile but not very attentive. Long waiting time. Nevertheless we would come back.

Slowly but surely becoming a family staple🤩 Delicious food, great service, well suited for family celebrations.

Endlich mal ein Grieche der nicht diesen Einheitsbrei wie alle Griechen bietet. Geschmacklich alles gut angerichtet.

Service was very nice but the main course was unfortunately far too oily. The ambience is also rather below average. There are much better Greeks in Ulm (Elinaki, Meta,…)

I was there on Sunday at 8:15 p.m. and was told that the kitchen was already closed. I was wondering if I was supposed to show up for dinner at 5 p.m.?

Yesterday we were here with 10 people and celebrated my birthday. It was worth driving from Bretten to Ulm to eat. I only celebrate birthdays in Ulm. Photos will come later

Very tasty food. Can be recommended

Beautiful, cozy atmosphere. Great decoration. We felt completely comfortable. Service was great and the food was super delicious. The portions are huge, compared to other restaurants where they cut corners :) New favorite restaurant 🥰 Thank you!

I was here on September 10th, 2024 and the food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great.

We ordered two Greek shepherd's salads to take away. Opened it at home and was very disappointed. Lots of cucumber, about 5 olives per person, feta almost invisible, just a few crumbs. No onions. We won't order that again, in a pizzeria not far away you can get a salad for the same price in excellent quality and quantity. A pity!

Today, September 4th, 2024, we had dinner at Elena's for the first time and came especially from Memmingen. For us there was a grill plate + creta plate. Everything tasted great and lovingly decorated. The potato chips alone were great! Slightly soft on the inside, nice cross on the outside and the chips cut nice and thin. The restaurant and the chef/kitchen staff deserve high praise!!!

Beautiful restaurant located directly on the Danube with friendly staff, delicious food and handmade diesel! Keep it up! Greetings Christian and Christin

Very good food friendly service

The ladies in service were unfriendly. Food tasteless

The food was super tasty and the service was very good.

Beautifully located beer garden directly on the Danube. Food was very tasty, reasonable prices for good portions!

For my taste, manageable portions but at a fair price and very, very tasty. Plus the service is fantastic! Consistently good quality even after repeated visits!

Tip top. Always my pleasure. Nice staff. Top food and drinks. Keep it up!!!

It's been a long time since I've had a really good Greek meal and the service was very attentive. Nice ambience. Dishes are very fresh and beautifully prepared. Highly recommended

I definitely recommend it. Class

Great food. Large portions and friendly staff 👍👍👍

Good food and great service, thank you!

Super tasty food at good prices.

A very nicely decorated Greek restaurant. The outdoor area is cozy with a view of the rowing club next door. The price-performance ratio is good and the service staff are very attentive. The food tastes very good and the portions are sufficient. We'd love to come back.

The food was very tasty, the service was top notch and the ambience was also very nice! I'll be back 👍

The food was ok...no wow factor, but good. The ambience is nice and cozy, but the music was inappropriate and too loud. Drance - more suitable for a club or bar, but not a Greek for dinner. For a typical Greek restaurant, the typical side salad was also missing. Here there is only a leaf salad as a side dish. But this tastes delicious. The starter plate for 2 people is also expensive but also delicious. Everyone has to decide whether the 6 dips and a few side dishes are worth 35 euros. . Overall it was ok, but we'll keep looking.

Spontaneously ate here today. Great food and a great waiter. We were completely satisfied. Thanks

Good afternoon everyone. Those who are satisfied with the lack of service are welcome. We were in this restaurant 2 months ago. Then I thought they were just having a bad day. We visited again a week ago...it turned out that this is the norm for them. There is confusion in the orders, they can bring drinks to eight people, but not to two. Bring it 10 minutes later, after the reminders, or whatever. Then, with ostentatious dissatisfied faces, go to change. Before they had time to eat half of the appetizers, they brought salads almost immediately with the hot ones, naturally creating a mess on the table. rake everything into a pile, etc. In the end, they began to openly tell us that we should eat quickly, because we still had cake. And the time was half past ten. At about 10 o'clock they stupidly turned off the lights in the hall, and we were left in a dark hall, with three lamps above us turned on. When asked to take the plate away, one of the waiters, the king of boors, said that he was not a hundred hands. And when we said that on your page it says that you work until 11, they answered us that this is if there are clients... well, let’s just... drink tea. Although, I understand that this kitchen is closed from 11. It’s like that in any run-down pizzeria. well, here it’s like a RESTAURANT. Untrained, unhelpful, lazy staff. Probably a person will remember his birthday for a long time. Oh yes... An account will be banned for a negative comment. Something like this.....

I don't know where to start... I have never eaten such delicious Greek food. Staff top. Food top. Everything is great. The service was very nice from start to finish even though it was very busy. I can only recommend it to everyone.

We recently opened this restaurant for ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised. I liked everything. Food, service and atmosphere. Everything is at the highest level. We definitely recommend it.
