Restaurant Elià in Mönchengladbach

A wonderful evening at Elia! The owner welcomed us warmly and made the evening special. The entire team is incredibly friendly and professional, which rounded off the experience perfectly. In addition to excellent wine, we thoroughly enjoyed the authentic Greek hospitality. The ambience is a dream and invites you to come back again and again. We always enjoy visiting the Lukulus restaurant in Krefeld, and it's nice to know that the owner comes from the same family. We're looking forward to trying our way through the Mediterranean menu. Absolute recommendation!

We were here for the first time (on the recommendation of Elias' brother ;)) and are super grateful for it. He is simply a great host and you can see that he has found his calling in gastronomy. I know him from the old days and he is still as friendly and welcoming as he was back then. (Save this!) The restaurant is really tastefully and stylishly decorated, but not too stuffy. The menu offers - even for picky people like me (#Die81Unbreaded 😜) - all options for culinary delights :) The staff is also excellent and friendly. Attentive service and always a smile. We thank you all for this wonderful evening in this beautiful atmosphere. You almost miss the Mediterranean harbor for a walk after a delicious meal 😄 Because it really has a holiday flair. We're coming back here soon for our anniversary.🩷 M&S 💙

Amazing food Great Service Reasonable prices

It should be a relaxed, nice evening. Conclusion: ambience great; eat well; Service was stupid. Friendly, yes, but it's simple things that make an evening a great memory or just something that went too stupid. It starts with little things, like passing on information to guests before they make their selection, for example if dishes are no longer available. And if guests order starters, clarify with the kitchen when the main course will be served. Serving the main course even though the starter is still being eaten!? And “putting it back in the kitchen” is not a solution. The food will definitely not be prepared again. It would also be an idea to ask guests every now and then whether everything is OK or if there is anything else they would like. Or after dinner? Coffee or something for the “empty” glasses. Disappointing, but the difference between going really well and going stupid. Nope, we've experienced it differently, including in Elia. But hoping that the service pendulum swings to the good side, we won't be taking that risk any time soon

Service declined in the end. We sat in the winter garden, so there was a slight deduction in the ambience rating.

Very nice restaurant Food was great

Eating at Elia is like coming home. Everyone is warmly welcomed and the food is extensive and tastes fantastic! Georgius & Kiki are great hosts. Highly recommended...

Mega! Always my pleasure!! Can only be recommended!!

This Greek restaurant deserves to go there more often. The portions are so plentiful that you have to be very hungry Very tasty and versatile. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Great restaurant with very tasty dishes. The service is friendly and responds quickly - just as you would expect! This will definitely not be my last visit to Elià

Perfect see food... Very good octopus. Also very tasty osobuco...

One of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at and I've been to many around the world. Everything is right, even special requests are implemented without the staff losing their composure and friendliness.

Today we were guests for the first time in the restaurant "Elia" in the Königskarree in Mönchengladbach. There are numerous free parking spaces available. Due to the warm weather, we reserved a table on the large two-part terrace. Two-part means: One part is covered like a winter garden, the other part is open. Friendly and prompt waiters quickly brought us drinks and took our food order. Both the starters and then the main courses came promptly. The extremely large portions were appetizingly prepared and very tasty. The prices are rather cheap. A clear recommendation from us!

We have been guests at this restaurant for a long time! It has become our local Greek restaurant! Food top class, staff friendly and attentive.. every dish on the menu is worth an experience, the zucchini fritters and the lamb chops are particularly worth mentioning! Price performance for all the conditions, food, service and ambience unbeatable!

Very good food. High quality in a truly unique ambience.

Very good restaurant with international dishes

Very friendly staff and delicious food

I had a very tasty dinner with you. After a tiring and hot day I got a nice spot on the terrace. The service staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food tasted good and was rich. In terms of price, my Bifteki was quite good. I felt comfortable and would like to thank the entire team. I can recommend the Lokslität and will come back. Still have to try other dishes.

Mediterranean menu, somehow special (great) atmosphere :-). The food was very tasty, the service responded well to a breakdown. We'll definitely come back

Unfortunately, our reservation made the evening before was not successful. Unfortunately, when the weather was good, we had to be served inside instead of outside. The staff was very friendly but unfortunately apparently understaffed, which is why it sometimes took a while to be noticed. The food was really tasty and the portions were completely sufficient. Overall 4 out of 5 stars, it wasn't a mistake to have spent the evening there.

Everything in its place and delicious food..

Perfect as always. Super tasty and service totally friendly

As so often, we were guests in the restaurant on Sunday, July 7th, 2024. I had reserved outside for 3 people. The manager of the house welcomed us and led us inside without responding to my objection that I had reserved a table outside. Inside, the right side of the room was blocked off by a partition for a larger group. We have always been satisfied and happy here. This visit turned out to be a complete disaster. As soon as the drinks arrived, the company's meal was over and the party began. From one moment to the next we were sitting in a discotheque with very bad sound. In addition, the “normal” music, which usually comes from the ceiling speakers, plays quietly. Conversations were hardly possible anymore. No one from the service department cared about empty drink glasses. The place seemed way overloaded with company. The food came after 75 minutes, as all the other tables were reserved + the company in the next room. When the food came, I spoke to someone from the service and explained that I didn't want to eat in a discotheque. After a few minutes the music was turned down. However, it is still far from an atmosphere for a cozy evening with good food. With each song it slowly got louder again. Finishing the meal quickly and escaping from this atmosphere was the only option. Other guests complained and were given free tables outside before the meal. Well over 100 euros for a thoroughly messed up evening, with some anger over the obviously poor planning by the restaurant's management. This will definitely be the last visit to the restaurant for a very long time.

Last night we were at Elia, where we always liked to go. But lately it hasn't been that great anymore, unfortunately. Yesterday we arrived and ordered our drinks. After 25 minutes and a request, they finally showed up. Starter came after about 45 minutes. No attention was paid to whether our drinks were empty, we had to wait forever for the waiter and then the drinks came wrong. The main course only came after 1.5 hours and only upon request. My skewer with 3 different types of meat was fried to death and the beef steak was completely cooked. I also complained about this and a new piece was brought to me, this time in English and so late that I already had everything else on. Conclusion...super delicious home-baked bread My husband's salad was great Everything else was a habit this time. A pity We're not going there anymore... By the way, my mother and her friend felt the same way a few days ago There were 6 people who came after us. They were completely finished with their food before our food even came.

Very, very tasty, very nice, friendly service, great location, good price-performance ratio

Insanely good food and very friendly staff! Gladly again!

We were at the Elia restaurant with 9 people for my son's bachelor party. Everyone was very happy with their food. I had a lamb shank on mashed potatoes with market vegetables. The “market vegetables” were typical Mediterranean vegetables. The knuckle (photo) itself was tender, so much so that you could have shaken it off the bone and not over-seasoned. The service was attentive and friendly. We had our table in the well-heated winter garden (28-30 degrees were indicated). So I can give 5 stars to the restaurant Elia with a clear conscience. By the way: The ouzo, on the house, was served stylishly on ice despite a greeting from the kitchen after the bill was paid. 👍

The food is delicious, the service is friendly. We sat outside in nice weather.

The slightly “better” Greek, with a fine-dining tendency. We recommend. Large outdoor restauarion, partially covered. In the middle of the royal square.

Great service, delicious food and a beautiful location. It can stay that way 👌

Top quality and service The Cash and True team

A must in this city. Service is top, dishes are fresh and very tasty, atmosphere invites you to relax. We will definitely come back!!! Σας ευχαριστώ!!!

Great food, great friendly service and everything. Ambience is guest oriented. Here the guest is still king!

The lamb chops were amazing!!! Like made by mom/grandma. The ambience was nice; Anyone who likes pomp will feel comfortable. The service was very kind and accommodating, especially to small children. The sanitary area is clean, but cannot keep up with the wow effect of the main rooms. The owner could invest in it. We will eat there again. Thank you!!

It was an all around perfect experience. The food was very tasty and the service rounded it off perfectly. Unfortunately we live too far away to come back here more often.

Nice ambience, nice staff and great food

One of the best restaurants in Mönchengladbach. A very attentive service and very tasty Mediterranean food. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the great evening.

Everything is just great! Service, equipment and food are simply great. We can recommend this.

The loft-like restaurant with plenty of space inside and outside is very easy to reach and there is sufficient parking space. We were guests as a group and the ambience and service overall suited it well. The cuisine is more European-Mediterranean with a Greek influence and the menu offers something for everyone. The dishes were very attractively prepared. Overall tasty. Although not everything was perfectly prepared, there was no real cause for criticism either. Suitable and very suitable for group meetings. We were satisfied with the evening.

It was my first time there and it tasted good. Had a steak. Of course you can't compare it to a steakhouse, but it has a lot. Tasted good. The starter plate was also delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. I can only recommend.

Nice ambience. Friendly staff but service wasn't good. Maybe you have to bring your own drinks because unfortunately no one is showing up anymore. As we observed, only regular guests are served. Food was okay, drinks weren't really cold.

It is a nice looking place, the dishes are big and very limited types of dishes, you dont have variety .But i got bothered by the spiders home, the dusts, when you move in the chair, it is a catastrophy dust flows, and the table cover are black, you have a sensation that they have never been washed.. and the bad smell. When you first enter the place you can smell like spoiled food. But if you dont have problem with that, it is a nice restaurant and the workers are very nice and always laughing.

As always, top in all areas👍🏼 I'm looking forward to the next time.

It was very tasty and a lovely evening

Upscale Greek, grilled octopus is a lonely aüitze

Went there with a group, the first impression was the holey tablecloth (looked as if someone had tried to mend it) The fact that not all dishes were available speaks more about the sustainability of the restaurant; it would perhaps be good if the staff had known this when taking the order. The dishes we ate tasted very good. However, several false dishes were brought first. Were taken back by the staff, but someone else came and brought the same dishes again first. Then the real dishes came, but the first ones in our group were almost finished with their food. Vegan alternatives are advertised, but the difference between vegetarian and vegan is apparently not known. It then became a plate of various vegetable side dishes because there was nothing else. Suggestion for improvement for the decoration: do not use transparent flower vases because the water obviously does not stay clean for long. And place additional sets (washable) at the places so that food leftovers from previous visitors do not collect in the tablecloth.

Very tasty food, good service. Large portions good price/performance ratio.

More than a decent restaurant that mainly serves Greek cuisine. You can usually easily find a nearby parking space. The ambience is very pleasant, despite the location in a former factory site. The service is attentive. The advice is precise. The two of us had an appetizer plate. A ride through the country's typical specialties and hardly manageable for one person alone, but delicious. The lamb chops and veal liver served afterwards were exquisite and not exactly children's portions. So you should be hungry. We will end up there again soon. If possible, if you can sit outside.

Food very tasty, drinks a bit expensive

Good Greek cuisine with a bit of a twist. We always enjoy eating there.

From the outside you don't recognize the upscale clientele. The service was top, very friendly. We ate there spontaneously and without a reservation with 6 people. The food was completely priced and more than generous. Only the porcelain showed heavy signs of wear, broken plates, broken at the edge and splintered. These should be renewed. Sanitary area was very clean.

Had dinner with the family today and everyone gives it 5 stars! Nice, friendly reception, nice tables, decoration, nice rooms, enough space, very fast service, order taking was very, very friendly, we felt we were well advised, without a lot of fuss, you knew what you were offering, professional, always quick and Fast service, never left dry, great food, appetizer plates are highly recommended, a pleasure, pepper steak medium completely great, tasty, simply perfect,... Again, the staff is always very friendly, we felt very comfortable and looked after. Stay like that.

Food was ok, my pork fillet was a bit too hard but ok, sauce and side dishes were good. Service catastrophe, no one looked, glass empty = it doesn't matter, waited about 35 minutes for the bill, during that time there was no waiter with us or at the neighboring tables. Very unfortunate

Very nice service, very good food, but sad that such a good restaurant doesn't offer vegetarian dishes, which should be standard these days

The food was very tasty. Our family was also very satisfied. The staff is very nice and friendly. We had a lovely time and would love to come back.

Went there for lunch two weeks ago with 17 people. Due to its good location (Königskarree), the restaurant offers plenty of parking spaces. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the service was good. We enjoyed the food (Greek) very much and was actually generous. However, this is also reflected in the price, which we found to be okay.

Top food, great service and friendly, large parking lot, clear recommendation

Even as a vegetarian, I found what I was looking for and it was actually really tasty! There were 3 really good vegetarian starters, sheep's cheese, eggplant and especially the zucchini pancakes, absolute recommendation for vegetarians who are surrounded by carnivores!

We were there on the second day of Christmas with 9 people, everyone was more than satisfied with the food, staff and ambience. Even though it was almost fully booked, we didn't have to wait too long for our food. You can recommend it with a clear conscience, it wasn't the last time we were there ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ we forgive it 👍

Great service 👍 good food worth a visit. I'd love to come back 😀

Für mich eines der besten Restaurants, die ich kenne. Das Ambiente, das Essen, der Service ist immer wieder Spitzenklasse, nicht zu vergessen der große Wohlfühlfaktor. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne aus Krefeld hierher 👍👍👍

Wir hatten hier eine klasse Weihnachtsfeier. Das Essen war super, das gesamte Personal war klasse und es das Ambiente war total gemütlich. Es wurde von allen positiv wahrgenommen und war im Anschluss noch Thema weil es klasse war. Wer sich griechisches essen wünscht wird hier auf jedenfall fündig und fröhlich und alle anderen auch :D danke sehr für einen großartigen Abend.

Wir waren am 2ten Weihnachtstag mit 9 Personen da. Der Service war sehr freundlich und schnell. Das Essen war extrem lecker. Wir werden definitiv wieder dort essen gehen.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt im Außenbereich. Leckeres Essen zu angemessenen Preisen.

Essen ist soweit gut. Service leider alles andere als Gut, es dauert Ewigkeiten bis jemand überhaupt mal in die Richtung des Tisches guckt. Auswahl für Veganer sehr gering (ist aber auch zu erwarten).

Sehr schönes Lokal. Das Essen war eine 10/10 und sehr zu empfehlen. Die Bedienung war sehr zuvorkommend, aufmerksam und freundlich. Ich komme wieder. Top

Für uns ein sehr schönes und empfehlenswertes Restaurant. Preisleistung stimmt, Essen mundet uns immer. Der Service ist hervorragend, das Team ist gut abgestimmt und ein Genuß zu sehen, wie gut ausgebildetes Personal den Gästen doch tun kann. Es sind in Lokal nähe ausreichend Parkplätze vorhanden. Einziges kleines Manko ist die Lautstärke, wenn das Lokal gut besucht ist, zumindestens im Anbau, aber alles andere gleicht es wieder aus. Wir gehen immer wieder gerne hin. Vielen Dank an das tolle Team.

War angenehm überrascht Freundlichkeit der Bedienung und grosszügigkeit nachdem man vorherxetwas vergessen hatte.super

Wir waren nun schon zum 2. Mal am zweiten Weihnachtstag mit 19 Personen da, zum 2. Mal auch deshalb, weil es im letzten Jahr so wundervoll war. Dieses Jahr waren wir so wenig begeistert, dass wir im nächsten Jahr wohl nicht noch mal kommen werden. Die Küche ist fantastisch, die Speisekarte mit viel Abwechslung, das Essen superlecker, Preis/Leistung völlig in Ordnung. Mir ist auch bewusst, dass wir in Zeiten stecken, wo gutes Personal schwer zu finden ist - aber... Mir hat hier absolut gefehlt, abgeholt zu werden. Solch ein Essen mit so vielen Personen an so einem Tag sollte etwas besonderes sein, ist es das nicht, kann ich auch zu Hause bleiben. Ich möchte es mir gutgehen lassen und mich wohl fühlen. Es war aber ein "Friss und Geh". Niemand kam während des Essens (wohl auch nicht danach) und fragte, ob alles in Ordnung ist, ob noch was fehlt oder ob jemand vielleicht noch was trinken möchte, zu keinem Zeitpunkt. Vorspeise und Hauptspeise kamen Schlag auf Schlag, es wurde bereits abgeräumt, während noch gegessen wurde, so dass niemand von uns Lust hatte, noch Nachtisch zu bestellen. Die Tatsache, dass ein Messer beim Abräumen auf meiner Hose landete, wurde mit einem "Oops" abgetan. Für mich alles Dinge, für die man noch nicht mal eine qualifizierte Fachkraft sein muss, diese Höflichkeiten kriegt mein 12jähriger Neffe sogar hin. Alles in Allem wirklich nicht schön und wirklich sehr sehr schade, waren wir doch bestimmt der umsatzstärkste Tisch. Wie gesagt - im nächsten Jahr nicht wieder....

Dankeschön für den wunderschönen Abend 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️

Guten Speisen, zuvorkommender Service. Auch bei viel Besuch wird man nett und zuvorkommend behandelt. Gern wieder.

immer wieder schön. danke sehr.

In allen Punkten 5 Sterne von mir. Sehr gutes Essen, professionelles und freundliches Personal und ein echt klasse Ambiente. Wer nicht den klassischen Griechen sucht ist hier genau richtig. Tolle Gerichte. Danke, weiter so.

Ein wirklich super Restaurant was sehr zu empfehlen ist. Super Räumlichkeiten, super Service, super Essen. Die Speisen haben eine hohe Qualität und werden sehr schön dekoriert serviert. Top Service! Sehr netter Chef der sein Handwerk versteht!

Sehr schön eingerichtet, gute Menüauswahl, gute Weine , sehr freundliches Personal.

I loved the restaurant and I'm definitely coming back there soon, though i live in Bonn now. The food was great and the dessert blew my mind. The chef was extremely kind. Thanks again for my anniversary "dessert" ❤️

Sehr leckere Vorspeisenplatte und tolle Hauptgerichte.

Sehr schönes Ambiente, super lecker, Bedienung sehr nett. Wir waren das erste Mal aber nicht das letzte Mal dort.

Sehr freundliches Ambiente... Chef und auch Mitarbeiter..sehr Kunden orientiert ... Essen und Frühstücksbuffet hervorragend..fünf Sterne sind gerecht fertigt ..⭐

Tolles Essen , nette Atmosphäre und super Service,sehr zu empfehlen.

Waren spontan das erste mal hier und sehr positiv überrascht.Unsere Bestellung kam recht zügig an den Tisch,die Qualität der Speisen war gut und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.Das wird nicht unser letzter Besuch sein.Eine schöne Erfahrung.

Das Restaurant ist auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert! Ein sehr nettes Personal, die Wartezeit war sehr gering und das bestellte Essen war top! Die Portionen sind groß und machen einen satt. Zum Schluss haben wir kleine Desserts bekommen, welche ebenfalls lecker waren! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wundervolles Ambiente, aufmerksame Bedienungen und kreative Küche. Was will man mehr !

Sehr lecker von dem Vor speisenteller angefangen super Hauptgericht .lecker

Bisher war meine Grundaussage: Griechisch geht immer und fast überall - Preis/Leistung stimmt, Menge gut und lecker, da kann man nichts falsch machen, ist aber auch überall ähnlich. Nach meinem Besuch gestern hier muss ich diese Aussage komplett revidieren. Das Essen ist eine andere Liga als die anderen, wo ich bisher war, und ich war bei einigen Griechen. Von Vorspeise, über Hauptspeise bis Nachtisch alles einfach grandios. Wenn ich das alles aufzähle und den super Service sowie den tollen Außenbereich mit Urlaubsfeeling noch dazu nehme, schreibe ich tatsächlich 5 Seiten und eine Stunde - nur so viel: Ich habe mich noch nie beim Griechen an ein Rumpsteak getraut - hier war es einfach traumhaft. Wir komme sehr gerne wieder, absolute Top Empfehlung!

Sehr guter Service. Sehr leckeres Essen. Gute Auswahl. Wir kommen wieder.

Es war ein sehr schöner Abend das Ambiente war sehr schön und romantisch das Essen sehr sehr lecker die Kellner sind so freundlich und nett der Mike ist der allerbeste also es war sehr schöner Abend. Und die Preise sehr gut.🥰👍👍👍 Empfehle ich wirklich sehr

Sehr schickes Lokal in Mönchengladbach, wie wir fanden eine sehr nette & aufmerksame Bedienung (dem einen oder anderen eventuell etwas zu aufdringlich). Essen spitze !!! Cocktails super und Preise in Ordnung, bestes Schweinefilet gefüllt gegessen und sehr leckeres Gemüse , Portionen der Vorspeisen sehr groß und extrem gute Küche ! Das Ambiente ist ebenfalls sehr schön und modern ☺️ Wir kommen auf jedenfall wieder 👍🏻

Super Preisen

Das Essen war hervorragend und der Service sehr gut. Ein modernes Lokal mit stylischen Ambiente.

Extrem Übervoll - durcheinander wie auf dem bunten Jahrmarkt - kein angenehmes Essen zu genießen. Bierhallen-Atmosphäre - Essen war teilweise kalt , bei mehreren Gästen die verschiedene Gerichte bekamen. Bei vielen Gerichten, war das Fleisch total trocken- deutlich zu trocken .Es wurde nie nachgefragt, ab es schmeckt. Die Nachspeise war schon dreist und unverschämt - flüssige Milchbrühe mit eisenharten " Deckel " , es war absolut unmöglich dieses Dessert zu essen -Hammer und Säge wären erforderlich gewesen. Viele meiner Gruppe äußerten sich sehr unzufrieden und sagten , nie wieder.

Tolles Restaurant, tolles Ambiente. Personal außerordentlich freundlich und höflich. Alles frisch, Gemüse, Fleisch, Fisch. Preis-/Leistung ist ausgezeichnet. Für mich das beste Restaurant in der Gegend. Vielen Dank an den Inhaber.

Auch bei schlechtem Wetter kann man schön im Wintergarten sitzen.
