Having loved and enjoyed Elia in Mankhool Road, I am equally enchanted by its successor Desi Firangi Restaurant. The ambience and décor have been maintained, preserving a spacious dining area with a Taverna effect. The food is really good; I recommend the Butter Chicken, or...the spicy lamb chops...This lovely restaurant also has a full drinks menu. Our dear friend George is extremely efficient and the service is swift. We shall visit again in May. Thank you George.More

Dimitris the manager was fabulous from start to end in assisting me with a takeaway order for a Greek themed party. He went out of his way to be helpful and follow up as required. The food was excellent and all our guests were very...impressed. The rest of the staff at the restaurant were happy and helpful. Although we didn’t dine in, I thought the decor of the restaurant was very authentic and I look forward to visiting sometime soon when we can dine outdoors.More

Hidden gem in Dubai! From the starters to the desserts you will find only mouthwatering and authentic Greek dishes, the grilled octopus left me speechless. Mr Raafat who attend us was very friendly and made us feel at home. Lovely experience, we will come back...soon!More

Prefect Greek restaurant with wide selection of food and drinks. Very readable for money and great service ! Tuesday’s are ladies nights when you can get either 3 red wines or 3 ouzo’s 👍🏼

We visited the restaurant in June and since I am greek my review is based on high expectations which were not met. The taste wasn't close to the greek food and for some dishes there was no taste at all....fava not good, burgers nothing special,...French fries they were fresh and nice, greek salad not good, tzatziki was nice, meat balls not nice at all, the bread was very nice, herbs were tasteless.... Overall I would say below average.... However the surrounding area is very nice, but we pay for the food and not for the environment mainly. This isnthe second time I visit the place and even the first time we were not satisfied. You can do better!More

Excellent Greek food, inspired by traditional dishes with a modern twist. Pleasantly arranged and decorated environment that leads the guests to think they dine in a Greek island tavern without looking kitschy. Best Greek food I had in the UAE.

The hotel this restaurant is in is beyond sketchy. The food was subpar and the service was worse. They set us in a weird dark corner. I kept looking over my shoulder to make sure I was not going to get shanked.

We went back to Elia after a couple of years and to our utter delight, it has remained as charming as ever. Unpretentious, totally not Dubai, Elia makes for a pleasant evening. The décor in whites is a perfect balance of simplicity and charm. The...service is friendly and efficient. The food is not dramatic, it is lightly seasoned, plentiful, of good quality with plenty of variety. It may not be a screaming bargain, but it is a good value.More

The ambiance is very pleasant. The staff is kind and efficient. The cuisine is delicious. I had the grilled calamari. This was a delight. Then the prawns were succulent. I imagine this is the same for the rest of the menu. Then the singer arrived...and the noise he made was unbearable. I had to relocate. He was obviously singing for himself not for the customers. All in all, it is a good address if you are far from the singer.More

Great meal in this hidden gem of a Greek restaurant in Bur Dubai. Our daughter found this while looking for Greek restaurants on line and it was great. Food was very good and service was excellent and pricing very reasonable for Dubai. It has been...open for thirteen years already but it was our first try, we will definitely return.More

Approachable staff with friendly attitude. Food is served hot and freshly cooked. We were served by Robert, who's on the spot with orders and service, even though it was a busy dinner night, Robert managed to attend all requests professionally. Thanks to Robert and the...rest of the team, our dinner experience was amazing.More

Don't be put off by Elia's location, the food is excellent and reasonably priced. It's a hidden gem that is well worth going across town for. It has the feel of a family-run restaurant and never disappoints! Already looking forward to my next visit.
