Eliá Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

UPDATE Formnext 2024: this place is still amazing. Another fantastic dining experience. Now one of my favorite places in Frankfurt. Very high quality for reasonable price. FormNext 2022 took customer it was one of the better restaurants within walking distance of messe Frankfurt. Would dine again.

Very tasty food with outstanding presentation! The staff are also incredibly nice, so we had a great evening all around! If you like Greek food, you should pay a visit to this restaurant!

Strengthened by the high rating from the reviews, we tried it. One of the worst experiences and I advise against everything. The meat very dry. Fish feels not fresh and still cold. We were hoping at least for pitas with dips but we didn't even finish the dishes. The wine is expensive and tastes like a supermarket. Very high price for the quality. Terrible and not recommended

Greek cuisine truly reinterpreted! Very, very tasty and great service. Future restaurants will be judged by you. Thank you for a nice evening.

The food is good and (fortunately) not the "Greek mainstream". This is unusual because you are staying in the SAALBAU building and you might expect a “normal” Greek. In my opinion the food and drinks are too expensive. At this price point I would expect TOP service and a TOP ambience.

Sehr schöne Location, die 2er Tische sind was klein, die 4er top, sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Das Essen war ok. Könnte was raffinierter abgeschmeckt/gewürzt werden. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen wenn man die griechische Küche mag. Für mich persönlich war die Auswahl der Speisen schon zu groß (ich konnte mich bald nicht entscheiden 🫣)

The food was great, but the waiter suggested a few plates and wine, without giving us the menu. The first bottle of wine was already open and they also charged us for the whole thing. They also kept bringing us food without asking if we wanted more in the first place. When the bill arrived, it was over 100 euros per person. We felt deceived and would never go back.

A theft!!! We trusted the waitress and ended up with a bill of €750 for seven of us!!! €60 for each bottle of wine recommended by her! Good food, friendly service, but spending more than €100 per person for what we ate is absolutely unacceptable! If you go, be careful what you order and don't leave it to them!!!

Surprised by the quality of food and service. Feel free to try everything. The chef is awesome!

Elia is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating in. We were a group of 40 and whilst the seating was a little cozy, we were looked after so well by the brilliant team at Elia. We opted for the sharing platter menu and it was simply divine! What a feast. This is a brilliant way to keep conversation lively at the table. There was an incredible array of dishes to share… from fresh seafood, to mouth watering meats, salads, dips, sauces, breads. There was barely room for desserts, although it was all just too tempting to stop! Our wines, specially chosen by the team, were delicious. I haven’t enjoyed a meal so much in a very long time. Thank you Elia! I’ll be back.

Great service (quick, nice, table cleaned between starter and main course), but the price was far too expensive. Starter platter for almost €20 per person, worth at most half of that. The same with my main course (veal with rice noodles in tomato sauce), too expensive and unfortunately not convincing in terms of taste. My husband's main course was very tasty (Angus beef gyros), but also very expensive at €39.

Unobtrusive service is topped by beautifully presented, delicious food. Prices are higher than for “ordinary” Greeks, but you want (and can) play in a higher league. We were very satisfied.

We were there after the Frankfurt Book Fair and thought there would be hearty Greek cuisine, but unfortunately that wasn't the case, so it's best to take a look at the menu beforehand. We paid €100 for 3 people. We had water and a main course each. There is already water on the tables when you come into the restaurant. NOTE: Many people are used to water that is already provided being free of charge. Here it costs €8.50 per bottle (0.75l). The prices are quite high, but could be acceptable if the quality is adequate. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. One dish was completely burned and the other two dishes had hardened cartilage in the ham, which was probably so hard that it hurt to bite into it. Very unfortunate for the price.

A beautiful and cozy restaurant! The starter was very varied and extensive, the main course was delicious. Highly recommended!

Very nice food, very cozy atmosphere. Nice lamb

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly! The appetizer platter was recommended and is also recommended!

The food was excellent and the service was very nice. Only the television with cigarette advertising on the wall disturbs the ambience.

We came with no expectations but were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere of this restaurant. Totally different from anything we experience before with a 6 foot long sharing platter at each course. Starter and deserts were actually better than the main course serving. Plenty of upselling on the wine. You really have to watch your glass as they were topping up at will and the wine isn't cheap. Our group enjoyed themselves.

We were recommended the starter plate for two people and were not disappointed. There was a bit of everything so you could try different delicacies. The classic Saganaki had a grain crust that really blew us away. We've never eaten it like this before. We then shared a main course together as the starter was already very rich. The service was very friendly and quick. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay and the atmosphere is also very comfortable.

The service is attentive and very friendly – ​​I would like to emphasize that upfront. However, I can't understand the pricing. With fairly manageable portions and standard products, you pay an average of around €30 per dish. If you're going for a gourmet experience, the food should be top-notch, which I couldn't see here. In addition, the restaurant is not in a premium location, which also makes the high prices difficult to justify. The prices are at the level of the top restaurants in Frankfurt, but in my opinion this level is not reached here.

Main courses not really convincing despite the high price, starters were very good. Bitfeki was simply placed on mixed vegetables, the presentation and taste were take-away level. Baby calamari very nicely prepared but not a highlight in terms of taste. For main courses priced at €28-40, you can expect a lot more. Service friendly but sometimes slow.

We were there for the first and unfortunately last time. At the beginning we are given an aperitif card (4 adults two children/young people) what should we do with it... well ok. After we all finally ordered something edible, including a starter plate (€19.90 per person), it ended up being €120 for the starter plate. What does that cost €120?! See image! Three dips, beetroot/beans and a few strips similar to flatbread. Oh yeah, don't forget grape leaves / mini sheep's cheese. Bottle of wine 46€ was really not the best, but it was great. That was also accepted. I want to mention here that we left with an amount of €400. Yes, that's right, you can't believe Crass. Of course quality, prices, blah, everything has increased but sorry, next time we'll sit in a star kitchen. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether it's worth it to them. I only judge based on a real experience! All the best

Update: One star reviews are being deleted, so I'm giving it two stars, even though I think the restaurant deserves -1000 stars. I just can't understand the good reviews. The food is completely uninspired. The appetizer platters are served on a long plate, but that's about it with the wow factor. The appetizers themselves seemed to be from the wholesale market. Sliced ​​beetroot from a jar, ready-made Frutti the Mare, Tzaziki... nothing special at all and all for the hefty price of €19 per person. A bottle of water costs €8.50. I returned my main course after one bite. The seasonal vegetables consisted of unseasoned cauliflower, mini corn cobs from a jar and a stray frozen Brussels sprout (in July) with cafeteria porridge and frozen calamari. Simply poor craftsmanship. I just can't understand how you can put such bad food on the table. But the main thing is that the staff wears a Rolex… that of course explains the prices. The service was okay, my main course was not charged. 👍🏼 In the end we only received an interim invoice and not a real invoice. The worst meal I've ever had. None of us were satisfied. Too bad about the money.

Großartiger gemischter Vorspeisenteller, absolut zu empfehlen. Sehr edle Gerichte. Ganz anders als die Standard griechischen Restaurants. Service gut und reichliche Auswahl an Wein.

Very good and stylishly prepared food. Unfortunately the restaurant closes very early.

Very cozy atmosphere. Friendly service. Delicious food. Obviously fine dining. Accordingly, you won't get expensive or full. So don't go there when you're hungry, otherwise you'll become poor.

Great food and staff. Had a great time. The atmosphere and decor is elegant, but still relaxed and cosy. The food was amazing and the staff professional and fun.

Very good antipasti and dishes. I can only recommend it!

Service, food and ambient are very nice. Thanks a lot.

We had an excellent meal today. Greek, but different. There is no traditional Greek menu. Here you will find fine cuisine that pleases the eye and the palate. The service was very accommodating and friendly, always checking to make sure everything was right. Definitely recommended. We'll definitely be back.

Best gyros you've ever eaten in your life!

A Greek to fall in love with, good service and advice, great wines and fine, excellent cuisine.

Ate and celebrated very well and extremely expensively for my birthday. The food was really top notch, but very expensive. We would never eat there again. 10 euros for still water, 25 euros for a bottle of wine, albeit a good one. At the end, not even a free Uzo as is usual in ALL restaurants we know. No more

Update: August 3rd: delicious again today and excellent service. As always delicious and great service. Not the first and not the last time. The address for a classy Greek dinner.

They added €17 of tips without mentioning it.

Lamb with trachana that melted in the mouth! I really felt like I was in my own country, both from the atmosphere and from the flavors and the service was excellent! And another 5 stars for cleanliness ❤️

A real secret tip among the “Greeks”. Classic cuisine completely reinterpreted. Finally no more huge portions. Fine cuisine, fair prices, top service. Always happy.

I agree with everything positive that has already been written. However, I think the prices are really VERY high. Especially with wine. Even with fine dining and good quality, a certain level should be maintained. I don't know anything about the origin and quality of the ingredients from the menu. Regional? ORGANIC? Pasta with vegetables for over 20 euros and you won't get full from the portion. That's too expensive. There is nothing at all offered for children, which is a real shame.

Das Hauptgericht - Dorade gegrillt für 2 Personen - war auf den Punkt gebraten und schmeckte hervorragend. Auch die Sepiche war - zwar etwas anders als gewohnt - lecker. Die Vorspeisenvariante allerdings entsprach nicht unserem Geschmack. Der empfohlene Souvignon Blanc aus Griechenland passte zur Vorspeise aber nicht zum Hauptgericht und war meiner Ansicht nach mit € 55,- zu teuer. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die sehr freundliche Bedienung !!

Had a very nice and delicious evening here. Service is top and the food tastes excellent. A slightly more noble Greek. If you like Greek and just want to experience something different, this is the right place for you. The price is also completely okay for the quality you get. We'd love to come back.

Dishes were flavorful, the restaurant was cosy and the staff friendly and accommodating

There were five of us for lunch today. Starter was 🔝. Main dishes just like that 🔝. Very nice service, the ambience was also very stylish. I can only recommend this.

Great food, Greek interpreted in a different way, definitely worth an experience. The star deduction is on the house for the missing Metaxa. Only regular customers get this, it seems like a two-class society.

Was under the expectation. The menu of the specials is long as the normal menu, which confused us a bit. We had one antipasti that can be easily be compared with the food the you find in big supermarket chains. The second appetizer with octopus was a chewing gum and the combination with sweet taste of the wine sause wasn't a good match, to my personal taste. Fish as main course was fresh but combined with Broccoli Cauliflower and carrot seasoned with vinegar was not great. Wine was good but triple the real price if you know the Greek wines Service was lovely and sweet but you have to be very straight on your decisions otherwise they tent to over booking courses. Environment was very nice and stylish.

Good food - we shared a lot of dishes as a group, very friendly and quick service, nice atmosphere but tended to be loud.

Wir waren an einem Samstagabend zum ersten Mal in dem modern und gleichzeitig gemütlich eingerichteten Eliá. Es liegt im ruhigen Teil des Gallus an der Frankenallee. Für uns gab es einen sehr persönlichen Empfang, fast wie für alte Bekannte, und unser kleiner Vierbeiner Emma erhielt sofort eine Wasserschüssel. Das nenne ich Willkommenskultur! Überhaupt findet man heutzutage nur selten eine so authentisch freundliche, kompetente und aufmerksame Servicecrew. Die Speisekarte erzeugte hohe Erwartungen, die mit jedem Gang erfüllt wurden. Selbst die warmen schwarzen Oliven mit Pita waren unglaublich lecker. Die Gerichte werden abwechslungsreich präsentiert und sind mit viel handwerklichem Geschick zubereitet. Wir haben versucht, einmal quer durch die Karte zu bestellen, müssen aber wiederkommen, um die kulinarische Reise fortzusetzen. Nur soviel: das Gyros vom Black Angus und die Griescreme mit Weisser Schokolade und Vanilleeis sind ein Traum. Wir bedanken uns für einen sehr angenehmen Abend und kommen in jedem Fall bald wieder. M+K+E

Le restaurant est situé en dehors de l'hyper cetre -ville, dans un quartier résidentiel "intermédiaire". On peut y accéder facilement en S-Bahn (station Galluswarte). Grande et belle salle donnant sur une rue arborée. La décoration est chaleureuse. Les patrons sont très souriants et le service efficace. J'ai dégusté un spanakopita en entrée, le fameux feuilleté aux épinards et à la feta, totalement déconstruit ici : la pâte filo est utilisée comme dans un millefeuille, pour séparer les différents ingrédients. Surprenant, mais très esthétique et bon. En plat, j'ai dégusté un assortiment de grillades (Elia piato). Toutes les viandes étaient délicieuses. J'ai particulièrement aimé le gyros de black angus américain. Il y avait aussi un morceau de filet d'agneau néo-zélandais, un morceau de steak hâché d'agneau et de boeuf (soutzoukakia, délicieux aussi) et un morceau de poulet élevé au maïs. Le tout accompagné de frites bien croustillantes. Portion énorme ! Après ce plat roboratif, je n'ai pas commandé de dessert mais néanmoins goûté celui de mon ami : un yaourt grec au miel de thym et à la fleur d'oranger. Un régal. J'ai bu un verre de Nemea, un bon vin rouge du Péloponèse (verre de 20 cl). Compter 75€ par personne, avec un verre de vin. Plutôt cher pour un restaurant grec, mais l'expérience était exceptionnelle. Fortement recommandé.

We came across this restaurant by chance and were not disappointed. It was already after half past ten in the evening and the restaurant was still very busy. The service was very friendly and quick. The food was creatively prepared and also very tasty. All in all it was very pleasant and I will come back if I'm ever in the area again.

Loved it here. So far, our favourite spot since visiting the Frankfurt Messe area. The service was excellent compared to other restaurants and food was wonderful.

This is a wonderful restaurant. It’s Greek and Mediterranean themed. Ample choices for all tastes, including vegan. We had appetizers and entrees. Excellent. No room for dessert but it looked delicious. Wine selection is very good and wait staff are helpful with recommendations. Service is excellent. Go, you won’t be disappointed

The best Greek restaurant in Frankfurt!!! Well done for the nice food, for your fast service and your beautiful shop!!!

We celebrated our wedding here in a small circle and were not only thrilled with the food, but also with the service and the planning process beforehand. The team was always available by email, we talked everything through again a few days before the celebration and the food was fantastic. Our guests also repeatedly told us afterwards how great the food was. We would love to come back again.

We were here for dinner. We were welcomed with a little gift from the house. We started at the beginning with a large appetizer platter and a salad. Both were beautifully prepared. The appetizer platter had a little bit of everything and a great selection of Greek specialties. The main courses were also prepared with attention to detail and everyone enjoyed them very much. Finally, after we were a little too full for a whole dessert, we got a small mini dessert. The service and the boss were very friendly, accommodating and also very nice. Anyone looking for fine Greek cuisine has come to the right place. Clear recommendation! It was a great evening, we're happy to come.

We were there for lunch on a Sunday. The service was very friendly but not intrusive. The food was good and on the table quickly. We had the appetizer platter for two people - enough but not too much. Overall a great lunch. The overall ambience is very nice, but you can see in one place or another that the renovation work is not yet completely finished.

A pleasantly "different" Greek with excellent and special dishes, friendly and courteous service, completely natural approach to my English guests, I'll definitely come back more often!

Wir sind auf das Restaurant aufgrund seiner hier hochgeladenen positiven Bewertungen aufmerksam geworden und freuten uns wirklich auf den Besuch. Wie wurden leider maßlos enttäuscht! Das Essen war in Ordnung, aber wirklich nichts Besonderes. Vorwiegend negativ ist der Service aufgefallen. Wir haben vollkommenes Verständnis dafür, dass an einem Freitagabend es auch mal stressig werden kann, wo wir allerdings die Grenze ziehen ist, wenn wir beim essen schon fast gehetzt werden, damit der Tisch frei wird und an die nächsten Gäste vergeben werden kann (solch ein Gefühl ist zu mindestens entstanden). Auch war der Service unglaublich unaufmerksam und benahm sich so, als ob wir mit Fragen zu den Gerichten Unannehmlichkeiten bereiten würden. Es wurde insgesamt keine angenehme und gastfreundliche Stimmung vermittelt. Wie vorab erwähnt, hatten wir aufgrund der positiven Bewertungen wirklich hohe Erwartungen. So ist abschließend lediglich in den Raum zu stellen, ob wir wirklich solch einen schlechten Tag erwischt haben oder die positiven Bewertungen nicht ganz so ehrlich waren.

Food was good but not breath taking. The bottle of water that was waiting on our table cost us over 8 euros. The portions aren’t big enough.

Great ambience. Very friendly service… but unfortunately the prices are not justified. 30 EUR for 5 pieces of meat with a few noodles…. And then still hungry.

This is the second time dine at this restaurant. Came back because of the speciality provided by the restaurant. Excellent customer service by all the staff! Highly recommended to everyone.

Very good quality. Super tasty. Nice service 👌👌👌

Ein schönes Abendessen mit sehr guten, frischen und ungewöhnlich angerichteten Speisen, kreativen Cocktails und exzellentem Service. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen bestimmt mal wieder, wenn wir in Frankfurt sind!

Eine der schönste laden in Frankfurt ,mit viel Liebe gemacht ,tolle gehobene Kuche ,alles mit frischen Zutaten ,eifach toll !!

Surprise in Gallus! We came here on the recommendation of a Greek friend and were thrilled: As inconspicuous as the house looks from the outside, the stylish dining room and the friendly service have a positive effect. You won't find lukewarm, reheated gyros with fat-soaking fries here! A select selection of Greek specialties from starters to a variety of main courses and desserts offer something for every taste and every hunger. We enjoyed every bite and would love to come back!

I was here yesterday for a birthday dinner and my companion and I were totally impressed. The food tastes absolutely delicious and the cuisine is really upscale and a bit more modern. I can highly recommend the appetizer platter. I personally liked the saganaki the best, but in fact everything on the platter was absolutely delicious. The main courses were also great. The staff is really nice and always comes to the table to ask if everything is OK. We were also able to have a very nice and detailed conversation with the owner, as there is also a branch in our city in the Taunus, which we would like to give another chance after this great service in Frankfurt. There were also little touches to try. The waiters are all really nice and want to get the most out of the restaurant visit. We would love to come to Frankfurt again and can therefore warmly recommend Elias for fine, exquisite Greek cuisine.

Thank you for the hospitality, service and very tasty food. Discovered completely by chance, but would highly recommend it.

Classic. Years later, the restaurant gets a new name and perhaps a new owner. So that the bad reviews are not accepted, the lawyer is threatened. It's a shame... we should have simply faced the criticism.

Eliá Restaurant is a great little Greek restaurant located in a residential district south and west of the City Centre. As you walk into the restaurant it feels like a classy place. The decorum is Greek but not over the top or too stereotypical. The staff all speaks good English, and they have English menus. Our reservation was for 7pm and we were seated right away in a great table by the window. It was Easter Sunday, so we were given the regular menu and the special Easter menu. They have an assortment of gin drinks, but we went basic with just gin and tonic. It arrived in a super-sized glass with a nice garnish. Perfect, simple, and delicious. We ordered the appetizer sampler (listed as METRO) and WOW, it came out on a plate that was as long as the table! What a presentation. It had a sampling of ALL the appetizers on the menu. It was a great way to test out a little of everything. It was great but be careful, it is a lot of food! The lamb meals were the winners of the four. My meal, Pulled Arni was a special. It lacked flavor and was a strange purple color. I would not get it again. Overall, the experience was very nice. The service was perfect but for me the food (that I sampled) was not as good as I have had at other Greek restaurants. It is for that reason that I unfortunately must give this restaurant 4 stars. I would return to try the lamb.

Excellent! The food is authentic with beautiful presentation. The lady who assisted us with the food and wine selection was very kind and polite. The atmosphere is greek with modern touches. The quality and taste of the food were top notch. We highly recommend this restaurant 👍

Hospitable, great ambience, very tasty, attentive and child-friendly service!

Nice service and good food. Gladly again.

I don't like the behavior of this place. Honest reviews get deleted. If I find this food mediocre it is my opinion and I can state that.

I was in Frankfurt on business and discovered the restaurant by chance through my colleague, who is a frequent guest here. The food was absolutely fantastic - every single dish we ordered. The owner was also a perfect host and contributed to the pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. I can only strongly recommend everyone to try it here.

FABULOUS! Brilliant Mediterranean food, service super friendly, atmosphere great. You have to eat here!

Food and drinks are ok tasty but for my personal taste is too expensive for what it delivers. Is by far not a gourmet experience so I don't see the reason why to charge so much.

Well, what can you say? Great starter, good leg of lamb but unfortunately the squid was full of ink. That is not how it works. In addition, the compensation from the waiter was a joke. 2 small espressos (5€ in total) for a bill of 175€. Not recommendable.

The starter plate was okay, the grilled vegetables were delicious - but the rest of the dishes were absolutely tasteless, both main course and dessert. We've never seen this happen to Greeks, especially when it comes to goat's cheese - it's unacceptable given the prices quoted. Service was good, therefore 2*. Addendum: the restaurant is trying to take action against bad reviews - not with quality, but with a complaint to Google. That's why only 1* because the service is also bad.

The food does not recall traditional Greek tastes, a lot of aesthetics, but little quality. Fried dishes smell too much like reused oil. The waiters were too present to collect the dishes when we hadn't finished eating yet. Water not included in the menu list at the price €12.80!!

Very nice and attentive service, the quality of the food was very good and we had a very nice evening.

One of the Most tastiest place in Frankfurt

The food was very tasteful and innovative. I tried the chicken and it was juicy and with carrot-potato purée was perfectly combined. Waitresses were all very kind and fast and the ambientation was very heartwarming. The entrées were very mixed and amazing. I totally recommend.

Not recommended for groups. I will definitely not book business meals here again. We ate here with a larger group (>20 people). Some disadvantages: 1) As a group you are only offered a menu on platters. The prices per person are quite reasonable. 2) Only wines are offered for 60 euros per bottle and up. I probably don't need to mention that, in the best case scenario, these are wines with a significantly lower purchase price. 3) A 10 percent service fee is charged on the total bill. 4) Cancellation fees are then due in full per person. Of 23 people, one person was missing and despite the bill being over 3000 (yes over 3000), one person who didn't show up had to pay a cancellation fee of 110 euros plus a service fee of 10 euros. My conclusion: From my point of view, the food on the platters was nothing special and, in my opinion, too expensive. I find it outrageous to charge cancellation fees because 1 out of 24 people was sick. I'm not coming back anymore.

Not enough vegetarian and vegan options. The salad and the garlic bread has been tasty, but most food they offer is meat. So if you want to go there with a crowd from work, your friends or a date, you might not know the food preferences, choose another place, because the vegan and vegetarian people, will leave hungry.

Suppresses bad reviews by reporting them.

So we're not coming anymore The food is good, but it's getting more and more expensive and the portions are getting smaller and smaller.

Absolute failure! Never again !

We were only there for the second time, but we were recognized by Anna and, like the first time, we had super friendly, attentive, non-intrusive service, soooo delicious food and we are definitely coming back soon!!! PS: try the Aphrodite♥️🇬🇷 P.S. again: We have been there several times now! The Elià has become one of our favorite restaurants, on Saturday February 10th, 2024 we took friends with us who were also enthusiastic and will definitely come back. We really like the modern Greek cuisine at star level. The service from Anna and Vassilis was again very good, warm and unobtrusive! At the next table there was a large family with small children, around whom the trays were carried around with a smile. The restaurant was well filled, but it wasn't too loud. All in all a wonderful, relaxing evening!

The food was not bad, but certainly nothing special. Mediocre at best. But their despicable methods of abusing German law to remove reviews with three stars or less is absolutely disgusting! I would not recommend this place to anyone!

The restaurant claims this review is fake and has asked Google to remove it. So don't rely on the reviews of this restaurant. [Note added in February 2024] Original review: The food is good, but unfortunately it was extremely loud, making it difficult to have a conversation. Prices just about reasonable.

Original: "★★★ Nothing exceptional, but not bad either." Update: The owners actually tried to have this review, and many more, removed! The notification email from Google says that "The complainant argues that the assessment violates his personal rights" and will auto-remove it if I don't respond in 7 days. The owner has given this statement: "There is no business relationship with the Google user Harald Geving. It is probably a fake name. In this context, in accordance with the case law of October 25, 2011 - VI ZR 93/10 (BGH), I would like to request that you investigate this violation and, if necessary, contact the author of the review and delete the review by “Harald Geving” if the reviewer does not provide evidence to the contrary." This is a disgusting abuse of the law, in order to make themselves appear better on the rankings. I have now changed my review to 1 star.

Outrageous prices. The food and the service were mediocre at best. The Moussaka we ordered costs about 27 euro and the Giovetsi about 26 euro. We have absolutely no problem paying for quality food but this was simply disappointing. They cannot meet the standards that are expected when charging that amount of money. The service did certainly match the whole experience. We waited quite a bit even with a reservation. I can’t describe the restaurant better than my friend who said: “mehr Schein als Sein”.

Der Service ist gut und aufmerksam. Das Essen ist lecker, aber eher kleine Portionen und im Vergleich zu anderen griechischen Restaurants mit ähnlicher Qualität ziemlich überteuert.

One of the best places to eat in Frankfurt. The service is fast, friendly and efficient. The atmosphere in the shop quickly makes you feel at home. From Food we tried fava beans, hot Mykonos cheese, dako and burger. The highlight, however, was the black Angus gyro, a standard and great-tasting dish. Congratulations to all the elia team.

Excellent Greek restaurant. Nice staff... excellent dishes. Beautiful and good

Whether it's a starter, main course or dessert... everything tastes delicious and is stylishly prepared! Gladly again.

Super liebevolles Service und hervorragendes Essen!

Wow how delicious! Taste 1A. Elegant Greek cuisine! The Saganaki was a dream 😍

Bis jetzt das beste Restaurant in Frankfurt. Wir aind der Empfehlung von Freunden gefolgt und sind absolut begeistert. Service top, Essen wunderbar angerichtet, richtig lecker, da sind Leute in der Küche, die mit Leidenschaft und Fantasie arbeiten. Jedes Gericht ein Gedicht. Service war top: Sauber, höflich, aufmerksam, flott. Jeder Extrawunsch wurde angenommen und umgesetzt. Jeden Cent wert! Man merkt, dass wirklich qualitativ hochwertiges Fleisch , Gemüse, Fisch benutzt wird. Komme selber vom Fach und kenne mich mit guten Lebensmitteln aus. Wirklich jeden Cent wert!! Empfehlung: die Vorspeisenplatte für (ab) 4 Personen. Optisches Highlight und abwechslungsreich. Ein perfekter Starter sind auch die leckeren Cocktails dazu

Sehr gute Küche! Die Speisen werden mit liebe und Fantasie gestaltet. Die Preise sind nicht günstig aber für die angebotene Qualität ok!
