Abu Dhabi has welcomed a new addition to its vibrant dining scene. The Greek restaurant Ela Ela has officially opened its doors, offering residents and visitors an exciting Mediterranean culinary experience.
Located in the picturesque Yas Marina, Ela Ela is part of Penelope’s network of restaurants. The establishment is the brainchild of Layla Kardan and Hamdan Al Khafaji, who are also behind Mr. Moto, a Japanese speakeasy that has simultaneously opened nearby.
Ela Ela promises a classy, fuss-free dining experience with a menu that caters to a wide range of tastes. The restaurant’s cozy interiors and warm hospitality make it an inviting destination for both families seeking a delightful Mediterranean meal and beverage connoisseurs looking for a sophisticated evening at the bar.
The menu offers a variety of dishes, from mezze specialties like Taramasalata and oysters to super starter selections such as crispy calamari with lemon mayo and Hamachi Crudo with smashed cucumber and yogurt. The main courses include grilled prawns with chili lemon butter and whole grilled sea bream. For dessert, patrons can indulge in sweet specials like baklava ice cream or Loukoumades with honey and walnuts.
With the Yas Marina Circuit, a hub of activity, in the background, the opening of Ela Ela marks another exciting expansion in Abu Dhabi’s thriving food scene. As the city continues to grow and evolve, residents and visitors alike can look forward to more innovative dining concepts making their debut in the capital.
