Rooted in Tradition, Made for Today
For generations, we’ve been crafting meals with passion, using time-honored recipes and fresh ingredients. Our story is about family, culture, and a love for great food shared with our community.
A Legacy of Mediterranean Cooking
Elena’s began with a simple idea—bringing the warmth of Greek and Armenian home-cooked meals to the heart of Glendale, California. Since 1976, our restaurant has been a place where family recipes, time-honored traditions, and the comfort of a shared meal come together. What started as a dream has grown into a neighborhood staple, where generations gather to enjoy flavors that feel both familiar and special.
More Than a Meal—An Experience
Dining at Elena’s is about more than just food. It’s about the lively conversations, the warm hospitality, and the sense of belonging that fills our intimate space. Whether you're here for a quick lunch or a family gathering, you’ll always be welcomed like an old friend.
A Sweet Tradition of Good Food & Good Times
For nearly five decades, Elena’s has been a cherished part of the Glendale community, serving authentic Greek and Armenian flavors with warm hospitality. No meal is complete without a sweet ending—cinnamon-dusted rice pudding, flaky honey-soaked baklava, and a bold cup of Armenian coffee. Whether you’re dining in or ordering for delivery, we invite you to be part of our story—one meal, one memory at a time.
