Elmas in Warrington

We visited Elma’s as a group of friends and were well accommodated. Considering the restaurant is not that big, our table of 9 was seated comfortably. The staff were quick to provide us with drinks and take our order despite it seeming very busy. The environment was loud which would maybe be more difficult if you were hoping for a more intimate meal but our party was not affected by this. Our order was taken quickly but our table was also cleared quite fast. I don’t consider myself a slow eater but I did feel slightly rushed. Apart from this, the staff were friendly and the food was wonderful.

This place was recommended by a local as one of the best eateries locally. When we walked in we were told to find a table (despite booking). Service was fairly quick and the food was delicious but what lets this place down is the unprofessionalism. On glancing back I noticed a member of staff (manager I think) with his foot in an ice bucket in the door way of the kitchen. It was obvious he had hurt his foot because he was limping however, you don't put your bare foot in an ice bucket in view of customers and an ice bucket you are potentially using in the bar. There were also lots of teenagers coming through a side entrance that was locked to customers but staff were letting them in. I've no idea why they were there? But they weren't there to eat as they were hanging around chatting to the waiting on staff, all of whom were of a similar age. I had heard after 9pm Elma's becomes a "Nightclub" but it was more like a "Youth Club!". Management needs address these issues as the food was exceptional but the atmosphere let it down.

Fantastic as always. Food amazing and service second to none. Drinks arrived before we ordered, knew what we had. Had fillet steak and it was fabulous

Very nice food and a lovely looking restaurant. Unfortunately our evening was spoilt by a very large table in the middle comprising three or four families with lots of children screaming and running around. The dads were sat separate doing their own thing and the mums not really paying them much notice either. The poor staff tried to dodge the kids when carrying hot food. Absolutely fine with children being out with their families but having tables with couples around a big party of children was not good planning by the restaurant. So, I appreciate business is business but it was not very relaxing for us.

Our best evening out ever,cannot fault this place from start to finish. Highly recommend from our friends and they was totally right . We waited not very long for food was very busy ,we had a lovely waitress look after us and service was with a smile which is so important these days .we will be back very soon loved the desserts and cocktails too.

The most incredible welcome and atmosphere in this restaurant. The food is gorgeous, absolutely faultless. The service was the best, so chatty, happy and made our day with the birthday song and cakes. Would certainly return Thank you Elmas!

Really nice restaurant with superb staff. The food was brilliant and all courses were nicely presented. Really enjoyable afternoon with the family

The service was very quick and food was lovely, good choices and reasonably priced. Sadly it was impossible to have a conversation without shouting as the music was so loud, perhaps the acoustics weren't the best? I politely asked if the music could be turned down a little, don't think the chap I asked was impressed as he didn't respond but thankfully turned the music down a touch. Shame as otherwise it would have been a lovely evening.

I arranged a party for 18 teenagers. The food was wonderful and the service was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble! I would highly recommend

Came for my wife’s birthday. It’s nicely decorated and has some great reviews. Had the goats cheese to start with a beetroot sauce, which was lovely and fresh. Mains were king prawn linguine with a dollop of tomato sauce. There was a lot of the sauce and we did expect that. The king prawns were very strong smelling of fish, so we left them. I had the chicken stroganoff which was ok but the chicken was overcooked. Finished with the crème brûlée. Maybe it was what we ordered, as the restaurant was busy and he a lot of great reviews, it just wasn’t the experience we were expecting.

Came over to see Mum today and took her to Elmas. We have been bringing her here since Dad died 4 years ago. Mum and Dad liked Elmas and bringing Mum here keeps the memories alive for her. Nice meal again today and good atmosphere. The Staff and the owner are always kind to Mum and it’s appreciated. See you soon.

As group of friends we all were all extremely pleased with the whole experience, Food was excellent as were the staff, a great atmosphere and music too.

We went to this restaurant on New Years Day. The staff were lovely the food excellent and the ambiance just what was required. We will be back

Have been twice in the last few weeks and also a few months ago for dinners with work colleagues. I highly recommend - the quality of the food is superb and the service is excellent also.

Discovered Elmas about six months ago and have visited on a monthly basis. The quality of the food and the friendly service is consistently brilliant. I can’t praise it highly enough.

Great tasting food served by great staff and owner, would highly recommend to anyone visiting Lymm looking to eat nice food or have a nice drink. A review I’ve been wanting to write for a while.

Great food and excellent service. We really struggled to park so had to phone ahead to say we would be late. They saved our table for us even though it was very busy. We had goats cheese starter and 2 pasta dishes they were all delicious.

Ate here at 6pm. Chose from the early bird menu and full menu. All food was great and really good value. Will definitely go back

Elmas is a lovely business as a vivacious restaurant-bar concept at the centre of a beautiful village Lymm in Cheshire. I occasionally give a visit to this place whenever I get the chance to travel to Lymm either myself or with my family. With always friendly and welcoming staff I enjoy the great food along with a few drinks. What is particularly I love about this place is that it is like a meeting spot for the whole village and everybody in the restaurant mostly look like they enjoy the peace and happiness of this small but beautiful village all together. It always seems to me like a great social club offering great food and drink options as well. I can't imagine in how lovely atmosphere the special days such as Christmas etc. being enjoyed in this cosy but also stylist environment. One extra plus as well is that as far as I heard that this is a family run business for years and I observe that the management is always hands on and they are so much caring to ensure you leave the place happy and satisfied. It is a surprising business too as during my last visit, I suddenly found a lovely plate on my table while I was enjoying my beer towards the nice village view. The manager told me that the chef had just tried a new dish and they would be happy if I could enjoy it and share my thoughts with them. Well enjoyed in minutes! =) Briefly, if you would like to enjoy your time in cosy, friendly but beautifully designed restaurant bar with great food options mostly Mediterranean, whatever your occasion is, I would hundred percent recommend to give a visit to Elmas!

EXCELLENT MEAL i had a the meat platter for my starter , rigatoni Filetto for my main and i fully enjoyed the whole thing. Me and my friends loved the homely atmosphere and would come again and again .Loved it here

Honestly cannot fault this restaurant! We came for dinner (no special occasion) and were made to feel so special whilst we were there, we had the best time!! The food was amazing, atmosphere was perfect and the staff were so friendly and attentive. I have booked again for a few weeks and cannot wait - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Me and my family came here last Sunday day for a evening meal . There was a lovely warm welcome from burak whom we know and always looks after use . Service and food is always a high standard , and cannot fault it at all .we even booked for Christmas with the family .we are lucky as it’s nearly fully booked which says it all .see you soon.

My 83 year old mother had been wanting to visit this restaurant after hearing good reviews from her friends . We decided to treat her for her birthday . Arrived to empty restaurant at 1pm on a Friday . Not made to feel welcome , ordered some water whilst reading menu . Realised we only had A la carte one and my mum had seen an ‘early bird ‘ menu on the board outside . We asked about this and one menu was thrown on the table as if it were an inferior thing to ask for , no explanation , no advice as to what the soup was or anything on menu . We weren’t given a menu each . We tried to get the waiters attention for some time but he was looking at his phone behind the bar . Decided it was just too difficult to get any form of service so we left . We were hoping to have a champagne celebration but decided to take our business elsewhere . Had a delightful meal and service at an establishment round the corner . It was completely full of customers so doing something right . Perhaps the staff at Elma should look at what other establishments are doing to attract customers . Shame as it looks like it is a lovely place inside . Doesn’t take much to welcome customers and advise about the menu particularly when we are the only customers !

Arrived for mums birthday lunch. Waiter couldn’t be bothered to serve us. Didn’t offer the lunch menu. Then stood on his phone for ages while we sat waiting. We left without bothering to order. Didn’t want to inconvenience him. Can see why it was empty.

Absolutely horrendous ! I would not even give it one star !, the manager needs to decide whether it’s a restaurant where you can hear your friend across the table or it’s a nightclub!, I had booked a table to be at the side of the restaurant. We arrived to a member if staff that could not give a toss I would have said he was Turkish he was not English did not even look at our booking and did not even say hello just flicked his hand to the nearest table . Customer service zero. There was a woman literally screaming at the bar !! The music was very loud. I could not even hear my husband and friend and we were totally utterly disappointed. As I said before the management need to decide what this place is as I will never set foot inside it again and would recommend anyone who wants to chat please don’t book at this place whatever it is.

Lovely restaurant in the centre of Lymm with great service, delicious food, I had the stuffed aubergine and it was delicious. The others had pizza and meatball calzone, empty plates! Greta cocktails to boot. We will be back

Family visit for a mid week feed Very good and attentive service .. the food was delicious Would highly recommend a visit

Where to start? The casual approach of service is too casual! Long wait between courses , waitress chewing gum and incorrect bill.. the food is nothing more than any average home cook can produce so don't expect to be wowed..it all feels a bit like a pretend "good" restaurant I'm afraid.

This was so good that I visited two night’s running. Once on my own and then with friends who joined me on my recommendation.

We really enjoyed the food and wine here a couple of days ago. Our waitress was helpful and friendly. It’s a shame that the place was nearly empty when the food is so good

Great location for Mediterranean food. Lasagne and salad delicious - good portion and sauce. Good service and great value for money. Excellent Malbec to accompany excellent food.

We had the pizza and it was one of the best we have ever had. The service was attentive without being too much. The white wine as cold.

Booked for a table for 16 for my nephew's 21st birthday. Service was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. Food, as always was really nice! Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon!

We went to Elmas for lunch on Friday and were greeted by friendly staff, there's so much choice on the menu, something for everyone. The meatball starter was especially delicious, & the portion sizes are more than enough. Had a cheeky cocktail too 🍹 will...

A very pleasant restaurant serving excellent food. Really enjoyed our main courses - I had the chicken cacciatore which was delicious, beautifully flavoured and quite a large portion size as well I thought. The dessert menu was a little uninspiring though. It would be nice...

Food is amazing as always, one of the best Rissoto I have had. Food is reasonably priced for the quality of the food and restaurant design is very good.

Excellent restaurant, great food and very attentive staff. Selected from Specials Board and homemade tiramisu finishes off a great meal. I will definitely be returning when next in Lymm

Another super family meal at Elmas. We ordered a few starters to share between us. [Ribs, meatballs, hummus, olives]. All divine. Our mains were faultless and included the butternut squash canneloni, seafood risotto, pizza, calzone. The staff were cheerful and attentive.

Excellent food, friendly and caring staff, nice ambience. We were a family of six, two with coeliac disease and all accommodated for efficiently.

This is the place that can’t decide if it’s a mediterranean or Italian and if it’s a restaurant or a gym. We decided to eat here after always walking past and seeing it fairly busy. Mediterranean cuisine it says on their website. So without looking...

The food here is generally good. However, this is the second time I’ve eaten here amidst very noisy customers. I had to leave early to get some peace over the road at the local pub! I love music but the ‘background’ music is obviously played...

We only came for coffee which was good but we wished we could have had a meal here. A beautifully appointed restaurant which we will come back for a meal as the menu looks brilliant. Can’t wait to report back. I know it will be...

Highly recommend. It was a very pleasant service, good food & tasty Pornstar Martinis!! Tzatziki starter was to die for and mushrooms risotto was very tasty!

Wonderful welcome and delicious, eclectic menu. Really great and relaxing atmosphere and fab music. Perfect location to watch the world go by!

I’ve never really wrote a review but I feel after my visit here last night it’s only fair, we walked into a busy and lively restaurant around 7pm without booking with my family of 5 and straight away was directed to newly cleared table by...

Visited Saturday 9 th with family. No greeting when arrived , table wasn’t set up , absolute chaos , wrong drink arrived and waited half an hour for another . Got starters after an hour and half waiting , cancelled main courses and walked out...

Went on Mothering Sunday, 5 adults and 1 todder. It was very busy so I make no judgement on slowness of the service - it is to be expected. However, when we asked if we could order a drink the waitress's response was "yeh, what...

Lovely evening with wonderful company. Looked after by lovely staff and excellent food. What more could you want for a romantic evening.

Never tried here before but booked it for a family birthday meal after reading good reviews. Can unfortunately say we will not be returning. Our table was booked for 6:30 which we arrived on time yet we were stood at the bar for 25minutes waiting...

We visited Elma's this evening for dinner. The welcome was very warm. The waiter was really good and his humour and taking music requests added to the value of the experience. Food was obviously fresh and really tasty. I will visit again.

Had lunch here, excellent. Very good ingredients and obviously someone in the kitchen who knows what they are doing. Each dish was well presented,sauces were lovely, and food was piping hot. Just visiting Lymm, so first time here. Will come again if in the area....

We came here after being at the HP Forbidden Forrest experience down the road (it was really bad by the the way don’t waste your money). I found this place with just a quick Google search of places nearby and we really enjoyed ourselves. We...

We went for lunch with a view to booking a table for 10 for my birthday on a later date. We were not disappointed, good customer service from the moment we walked in to leaving. Food was absolutely delicious, really enjoyed it. Needless to say...

Just been for New Year’s Eve. Great menu. Food was lush. Service as expected. Would highly recommend and will be returning xx

Warm friendly atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Attentive and very warm service. Delicious food and great wine. Plenty of choice on the menu and i would certainly return again as one of my favourites around.

Been here tonight, fantastic food great staff, great atmosphere, the young lad who's father, owns the restaurant made the tiramasu, and recommended it and it was delicious, will definitely be coming back

We booked a table for 13 people at quite short notice to celebrate our Grandchildren’s birthdays. We cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and the staff are amazing! We were served promptly and nothing was too much trouble. We had my elderly Mum with us...

Having travelled to Lymm on a canal boat in the pouring rain we were keen for an evening treat. We couldn’t have been made more welcome and the food was absolutely delicious. The wine was exquisite and we felt spoiled and special throughout our visit....

Only reason we stayed here was to visit Elmas restaurant. We weren’t disappointed, as usual food was excellent, great value for money, fantastic atmosphere and great staff. The success of Almas is most likely helped by the ever presence of its owner Burak, who is...

Lovely place, food ok nothing special, I do like the atmosphere here, the older server lady with blonde hair was a bit much, very erratic! The younger server’s were excellent, very professional

Visited with my husband and we sat by the bifold doors which was great, overlooking the Cross. We really enjoyed our meal; I had a lovely goats cheese starter and the pizzas we had as mains were spot on. Great service; cannot remember the name...

Busy Saturday evening with plenty of staff but there was a lack of organisation and the service was poor and chaotic. We had four different members of staff ask if we had ordered drinks/food as soon as we sat down, give us a chance to...

A nice restaurant with great service and food. There is a good selection of dishes available plus some specials available.

Excellent vibe restaurant. Good music, great staff and food. Wide menu choice but even so the quality was good. Very glad we went there. Our bill was £75 incl wine and cocktails which we thought was pretty good value.

During the lockdown we have ordered several takeaways from Elmas. The food has always been delivered on time and the food is well cooked, delicious and hot. The online ordering system is very well designed and easy to use. Fabulous food and great service.

Ordered a take away with delivery and it was excellent. Food arrived within an hour and was delicious. The aubergine dish was amazing. Highly recommended

As the restaurant is currently closed due to Coronavirus restrictions we ordered a take away meal last Saturday. The web site is clear and very easy to use. Our meals were delivered on time to our door and the food was well packaged and hot....

Second visit to elmas and was great, had garlic mushrooms as starters, lamb knuckle and pizza calzone as mains, both fabulous. Excellent service, good drinks, will be back.highly recommended

Excellent service. Great menu and food quality. Recommend. Large portions and very competitive within the local area.

We called in for an impromptu dinner - we had no booking but the friendly staff found us a great table. We both chose the vegan risotto and it was superb. Perfectly cooked and delicious. We also had a coffee and tiramisu - excellent. I’m...

This is the first time we have been out socially since lockdown. Food seemed even more delicious than usual! So fresh. It was just great to be back in Lymm, great atmosphere and felt totally self. Team were full of smiles too. Thank you!

Visited on a Sunday afternoon so fairly quiet. I had the BBQ meatball pizza which was lovely. Generous amount of meat and sauce, along with a fairly thin base, just right.My date had the tagliatelli but barely ate half so didn't enjoy it much.Service wasn't the fastest despite it being quiet but the staff were very friendly.

Had a fantastic meal here food excellent staff really friendly, lovely feel to the place we will definitely go back again soon

This restaurant in the middle of Lymm is family owned and run, and always busy. So book. The food is just excellent. I had hummus with pitta bread, and a very nice King Prawn linguini and tiramisu. The son of the owner served us and was fun and knowledgable. All in all, a very nice evening meal.

Popped in while in Lymm,glad we did, food was lovely, lamb knuckle and chicken sate, both delicious,garlic bread starter,good service and drinks too,will definitely be back

Food and service very good, can be quite noisy because of the acoustics of the room. Make sure you get a table away from the doors or you will be sat in a draft most of the night.

We spent Christmas day here and the staff were brilliant with the young ones. Service was quick with a smile and food as good as any. Not the cheapest but that goes with the trend of Lymm

The service was quite good but food terrible and overpriced. It was probably the worse Sunday roast we ever had. The veg and the Yorkshire pudding reminded me of frozen stuff from Iceland. The profiteroles again looked like a cheap frozen supermarket one.

Second visit and much better than before this restaurant s best in Lymm I been on Monday ate sirloin steak and my wife ate chicken risotto which was amazing well presented and perfectly cooked superb ambiance and service highly recommended definitely ll be back

The service was quite good but food terrible and overpriced. It was probably the worse Sunday roast we ever had. The veg and the Yorkshire pudding reminded me of frozen stuff from Iceland. The profiteroles again looked like a cheap frozen supermarket one.

I've been to this great restaurant several times now and the meals are always lovely, staff friendly and attentive. The garlic mushrooms are awesome and so is everything I've tried, best Tiramisu too

Having not being here with family for a while ,we came back and loved the addition of the tree and decor what a great feel to relax and unwind .Excellent service and food amazing we love the tapas and knuckle of lamb plus many more .’We where full but still manage desserts and coffee .We will be back very soon we hope Thankyou to staff always high standards .

It's just nice to get away somewhere peaceful like Lymm at the weekend and if you eat early enough this restaurant is reasonably quiet. There was a large party on our last visit but it was still a relaxing meal and child friendly. The early set menu is good value and even if you choose something from the regular menu it's still worth the money. The service is always friendly without being overbearing. The sharing platter starter was really delicious and a great way to start the meal. The steak was cooked to my husbands liking as to was my seabass. The kids meal was pretty much all eaten and there was no room for dessert which doesn't happen very often. We did end up sharing a dessert in the end between three of us, it would have been rude not to order the chocolate orange cake.

Monday is always a quiet night in Lymm but Elmas was the busiest as usual for good reason. We have eaten here many many times and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent steak, beautifully cooked. Happy day’s!

We called in by chance without knowing anything about the restaurant, we were just hungry, but WOW .What a treat. Everything was cooked fresh, everything was delicious. My husband and I shared Tapas and a pizza. We shall return and try more delicious food. Clever chef

We have eaten here a few times and every time we are so happy to be treated as old friends. The food is lovely, the service is fast, or slower if you want a rest between courses. Burak the owner is very friendly and sociable.

Great food and great atmosphere also superb service Burak is doing fantastic jobs here well done 👍 place to visit and have nice food

My family and lots of friends all round up on Christmas Eve and the kids will sit on one table, the adults on the other. Lovely to sit there before carols on the cross. The food is delicious and we were well looked after (we were there for 3 hours!) it was a bit noisy but what can you except? Everyone’s simply having a wonderful Christmas time it has a nice almost homey feel to it and the lighting is so calming. As I mentioned the noise before, it’s not normally like that and it didn’t bother me as it got me more excited. Already booked up for this year! Staff are lovely xxxx

I went here with my partner and small child for an early dinner. The food was excellent we had the prawn linguine, steak and some calamari and breads on the side. This was followed by creme brûlée for dessert . My daughter had the kids meat balls. The food was lovely, the calamari I would especially recommend it was light and crispy not rubbery unlike other places. The prawn linguine was also excellently done and the prawns were fresh and well cooked. The kids menu is pleasant and the food is fresh and homemade. The service was very good and the staff were very friendly. Would very much recommend this restaurant if you are in the lymm area. Prices are fair.

Rest menu choices for a group who can’t decide where to eat.. and everything we’ve had has been great, from pizza to houmous!

Love this place food is always fantastic.. Same with the service thanks to Burak the owner i would 100% recommend here if you havnt previously visited!

Well looked after polite and helpful staff. Food amazing and the little touch of mentioned it was our wedding anniversary and they gave us our desserts free with a heart drawn on our plates! Wonderful lovely atmosphere

We went for a walk around Lymm as it was such a lovely warm day when my daughter told us we haven't eaten desert and could we go somewhere. There are quite a few places to choose from in the centre of Lymm but we hadn't tried Elmas so have it a go. We asked the waitress if it was okay just to have desserts before we were seated. We were given menus quickly and our order was taken. Being lactose intolerant means I miss out on dessert when eating out but they had a orange sponge cake with a dark chocolate sauce. How could I say no. I'm glad I ordered it as it was delicious and even though my husband enjoyed his tiramisu he still helped himself to my cake. The restaurant was busy and you would probably have to book at the weekend. It had a nice, friendly vibe to it and the service was excellent.

The food was tasty, with good portion sizes. The actual venue is quite small & on the night we had our meal, very noisy!

Really impressed, great food and really good with the kids , nothing was too much trouble. Friendly , welcoming and well worth a visit, definately calling in again

Saturday night, really busy so I would recommend to book a table! We had meatballs and mussels for starters and they were absolutely delicious! Also had pasta! Yummy! Portions are generous! Service is quick and pleasant and the decoration inside the restaurant is really nice! Loved it!

I went with 5 friends for a get together one evening. The manager made us very welcome. He was very helpful with our order and when the food arrived, on each course, it was superb. Certainly worth further visits.
