I miss the old Elatos. I grew up in this area & loved visiting Elatos. During my lunch break, I was close by & decided to stop in. I noticed they have made a few changes to the food. While it was still good, it wasn't quite what I remembered from my childhood. I would still recommend this place. I dined in, but I believe they also have promotions for takeout. If you're in the Park Extension area, give them a try!
The souvlakis lived up to the standard of the Elatos reputation, whereas the service was lacklustre, the server seemingly uninspired & uninterested in being there. Shortly before we left, the 2 employees began to bicker openly in our presence. Not very professional or encouraging for us to return anytime soon.
Elatos was one of my go to restaurants.. Until a couple of days ago, i ordered a gyro loose meat plate & i was very dissapointed! The gyro came in dry, burnt crumbles.. i understand that this happens sometimes at the end when the gyro is finishing but c'mon at least tell us when we called to order! Because i sometimes order gyro pitas from here i wasnt aware the loose meat plate doesnt come with tzatziki on the side.. Ate a couple of dry crumbles , fries & salad & threw the rest away!
J'y suis allé sur l'heure du midi donc il y avait plusieurs commande de livraison qui explique le temps d'attente mais ça vaut le coup car le gyros est délectable! I went at noon so they had a couple of delivery orders to make so it was not crazy fast but the gyros was delicious way better than a lot of places!
We really liked this place even though the inside is not modern, the souvlakis were always great. But it's been a few times now that the quality has been below par. I hope this changes back, I will be glad to modify my review. But as of today I was disappointed.
Elatos mon premier amour leurs gyros fait avec amour quel délice. Si vous n'avez pas encore essayer allez y vite mon restaurant favori à vie je ne vous trahirais jamais 🖤
