Hellas Taverna in Cheshire East

Very nice food would highly recommend

The most amazing friendly restaurant I’ve been to. The staff are so welcoming and make you feel like you're part of the family!!! Also the food is to die for!!! Authentic Greek! The restaurant itself is modern and feels like you're abroad!!

We visited on a Friday evening and the place was buzzing. We received a very warm welcome into a lovely homely atmosphere. The decor is lovely and everyone was having a great time. The service and food were gorgeous with fantastic flavours and generous portions. An absolute hidden gem.

Thank you very much for the great service and food, we will make sure to be back. Would definitely recommend the meze meet!!

It was a sunny day, so we sat outside, we all had the lunchtime meal deal. It was amazing and great value.

Decided to try ela greek restaurant while visiting my daughter in Handforth This was my first time visiting a Greek restaurant and all I can say that the level of service, food choice and quality was excellent. I had the Lamb shank which fell off the bone and my wife and daughter and son in law had the giros. All were very well cooked and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be revisiting next time I'm up in Handforth. Hopefully try the breakfast as well because they look great!

I have never in my life tasted food as amazing as this. From the customer service to the beautiful taste of Greek cuisine. I am blown away. If you want amazing food, amazing atmosphere and to be full of love, please go here!!

Our first time here on Mother’s Day, and would highly recommend this place. Ela’s offers a vibrant and authentic Greek dining experience. The menu showcases fresh, high-quality ingredients with a delightful variety of dishes, from flavorful mezze platters to perfectly grilled meats and seafood. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a modern design that complements the cuisine. Attentive service adds to the experience,(although in very busy day like this) , making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. A must-visit for Greek food lovers!

All I can say is Wow! The most amazing Greek Food we have ever had! We bought a starter each, a main each and 2 Baklava Desserts. All of the dishes were absolutely incredible! £24 for a 3 course lunch, amazing service, beautifully decorated place, great portion sizes amazing food! This is the best restaurant I’ve been to in a while and will be recommending it to everyone! Food was just incredible.

This is a lovely place with amazing food. We had our Mother’s Day meal here and we so much enjoyed delicious food and great service. Will definitely come back again.

Elas Greek Restaurant in Handforth offers a taste of Greece, but our experience was a bit of a mixed bag. We had booked a table weeks in advance, but unfortunately, we still had to wait about 15 minutes at the door before being seated. It seemed our table wasn't quite ready, and we observed this hurried table arrangement happening multiple times throughout the evening. For such a small place, better table management would definitely improve the experience. The Greek music was a nice touch for ambiance, but it was much too loud, making conversation difficult. The food itself was tasty, but the meat was a bit disappointing. It seemed overcooked and lacked any distinct flavour, which is a common complaint I've seen in other reviews. The service was also quite slow and inattentive, likely due to the restaurant trying to accommodate too many diners at once. Overall, Elas is a decent option in Handforth, especially given the limited dining choices in the area beyond Guliannos. However, the restaurant could significantly improve its service, table management and food flavours. It's an average 3-star experience.

Great food and a lovely atmosphere, the staff were so attentive. Will definitely be going back.. we went early Saturday afternoon with my son and Granddaughter for pre Mother’s Day.👍

Had a great night out at Hellas Taverna service , food , seating all exceptional . It really felt like we were on holiday in Greece where we have been numerous times . The portions were huge and had to take some home for lunch next day . Prices were great on a standard to your basic Chef and Brewer etc but proper Greek cuisine . We will be back !!

Another excellent meal here, just wish we were closer, then we would be here every week .

Incredible Greek night. Great food and great fun.

Lovely food All the food was cooked to perfection

Great meal out, lovely food and good service!

Amazing food. Attention to detail fantastic. Reno the waiter was fabulous. Will definitely becoming back.

An impromptu visit by myself for dinner this evening, was greeted by a lovely gentleman who was welcoming and caring - was definitely his nature and personality. Food options were recommended upon asking, portions were in good proportion. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, decor very cute and in keeping with Greek genre of restaurant. Thank you

Wonderful food and lovely setting.

Great friendly customer service & delicious food, that seemed to be never ending. When home happy with a full belly & left overs.

We had the best time at Greek night! It was absolutely fantastic! The food was incredibly delicious, and the portions were so big that we ended up taking some home. Everyone there was super welcoming, and the friendly vibe made the night even better. We had such a great time, and we can’t wait to come back to try the breakfast too!

Best food served nice atmosphere and served on time

Myself and my husband took our five children aged between 3-11 out for tea , the restaraunt was lovely , we went on a Saturday evening and it was busy but this just added to a great experience and atmosphere, Greek music in the background , the tables well placed so you feel like you have your own little spot, the staff friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and had plenty of traditional Greek options, the children’s menu was brilliant £9.99 for a meal drink and a dessert , pencil crayons offered and something to draw on for the children, service was great, the menu was well priced for adults also, will definitely be going back was an fantastic experience all round

Embarrassed me as a customer because they don't want to help you if you are on your own. Definitely won't be going back as any sort of a group again. Guess they don't care!

First time here and will definitely be back !!! Fantastic food and staff

We had the Greek breakfast plate which we understand is a new offering. This is a meal for 2 and comes on serving plates. It was nicely cooked and presented. We also had fresh fruit smoothies which were freshly made and very nice. Service was pleasant and efficient. The halloumi and pittas are lovely too when they arrive warm but of course they do toughen when they cool down.

First time visiting, what a great place. Great food, huge portions and great staff. 100% will be returning.

The food (mixed gyros platter) was delicious and portion was large and satisfying. Prices were fine.

What can i say? It was my second time here and loved it again! Tried Lord of the grill for two people and jesus! It was so delicious and you get so much for a great price! Definitely will be going again. We went on a Sunday so there wasn't really an atmosphere but it won't stop me!

Had an incredible 'Greek Night' at this lovely place run by beautiful people. Amazing food (even though it came *very* late - there was a mix up in the kitchen and the staff were very apologetic about it but all was forgiven once we ate) - I was there with a Greek friend who said it was the first Greek food he'd enjoyed in the UK since being here >7 years. The vibe was excellent: brilliant music and entertainment from the Greek Folks band; and the plate smashing?! Lifelong goal achieved! Will definitely be back to this place again with more friends and will just hope we get fed more quickly next time (the late food definitely doesn't deserve to lose a star; hence my rating)

Having a love of Greek food and seeing the positive reviews thought would give this place a try. A bit of a delay getting a table (we had booked) but not a problem as they were really busy. Food was lovely and good attentive service the problem was the live music which unfortunately was much too loud and what should have been a relaxing meal ended up being a bit of a battle to have any form of conversation. It was a relief to leave to be honest. Sorry Hellas taverna background music is ok but your restaurant a bit small for these levels even though the performers were good.

This was our 1st time here and it was absolutely perfect. I've never had Greek food before, but friends made some recommendations for me to try. Our waiter also helped us decide what dishes to try and was extremely polite and helpful with our choices. He told us about the special nights held here, so we've decided we're coming back to experience more great food with a taste of Greek entertainment.

We gave this restaurant a try and it did not disappoint- great place, perfect food and lovely staff!! Will definitely be coming back!!

Great food. Great atmosphere. Love dining here!

Had such a lovely brunch, service and food was brill

This place has undergone a really elegant refurbishment. Excellent food, huge portions, attentive, friendly staff. A great night.

Amazing lunch, lovely food. Great portion sizes and flavours. Service was very attentive. Will come back for breakfast sometime for sure

Fab food and staff- now do breakfast and a set lunch menu which is really good value! Best Greek food in cheshire

Really enjoy this restaurant and the Greek cuisine

Added photos of Ashford on the water village, it's so beautiful.

My new favourite place to eat, food and hospitality is as amazing as always!

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Handforth. The interior design is beautifully Greek style. The staff are friendly and served us very well. The food is tasty and appetising. Dinning there is a wonderful experience

Came in the early evening on NYE without reservation, table for 7!!! Get extraordinary service with extreme food! Have a happy new year you all!

We could not fault the food here, it was delicious very generous portions, so go here hungry! The service was not so good! Our starter took 50 mins to arrive, whilst customers who arrived after us were served. After the main course was finished, our plates were cleared, 15mins later we asked for the bill, having not been asked if we wanted desert. So, in summary, the food is really good however, the day we were there the service was not good or friendly. Having said that we will go back, to enjoy the food.

Food was excellent i had the salmon which was exceptional and everyone else had the share boards which were spot on too great value for money and top class service

Amazing! Great food + big portions! Service was good and the staff were all really friendly. Thank you for the lovely cake and singing for dads big birthday!

Amazing restaurant!! Very good value for money! Overall a beautiful place, especially for a date night

Absolutely fantastic food, service and atmosphere! You won’t be disappointed We had the lord of the grill huge portions

Lovely decoration of restaurant, after a wonderful trip to Tsvilli Zaykinthos a few months ago I felt I was back there with my mythos and the the vibe! Had a gyros platter super filling and had to take it home! Great portion for cost! Recommend this little taste of Greece!

Fantastic menu and great customer service. Unfortunately we only booked this restaurant as I really wanted to practice my Greek . I’ve been practicing my Greek for 380 days on Duolingo but unfortunately no one could speak Greek to me . Maybe we will book again but I really expected someone to be able to take my order in Greek

Absolutely amazing food. The chef is so lovely and was great help with the menu as I'm coeliac. Would recommend to everyone what an amazing team with brilliant atmosphere.

Fantastic Greek food, cooked to perfection, quick and friendly service. Will eat here again and again. Top nosh. Please try it.

gorgeous place. the food is unbelievable, customer service is amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. 😍

The food was absolutely lovely. The gyros was spot on. The staff were friendly and attentative. Would recommend this place to all.

Great place and the food was excellent, The service was really good, I'm looking forward to going again soon.

We found this restaurant by chance while staying overnight in Manchester before our early morning flight. We looked around the Wilmslow area for dinner but most restaurants were full and not taking walk ins. We saw Ela whilst driving around and saw the reviews which were really positive The restaurant was full but they managed to get us a table and I’m really glad they did. We shared a King of the grill platter - it was excellent. The staff were welcoming and attentive, the food excellent. Brilliant meal and now our ‘go to’ restaurant when flying from Manchester.

Great food with fantastic service

We had an amazing experience at this Greek restaurant! The food was incredibly tasty—authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and every dish was cooked to perfection. From the appetizers to the mains, each bite was packed with flavor. On top of that, the customer service was exceptional. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome, adding to the entire dining experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal or atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fantastic Greek food and excellent service!

One of the best places I’ve been to. Great food and awesome atmosphere. The staff is really friendly and nice. Definitely coming back!

Couldn’t ask for anymore, great food at a reasonable price

Fantastic night and amazing food. Will be back for sure.

Fab food and service, 100% recommend!

Huge vegetarian options. A delight. Good service, friendly staff.

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend

Beautiful new refurb, amazing food - portions are HUGE so great value and brilliant service !

Sooooo good, we will visit again. Definitely worth trying, it ticks all the boxes for me; great food, drinks and service plus child friendly, relaxed atmosphere

1st visit BUT I cannot believe it was a lucky first visit! Went in on 22nd Oct 2024. Thank You to Ela's we will be back! The food was amazing! "Ela's Secret" for Starters WOW! Need that as a main. Everything cooked perfectly and hot (not warmed up) just fresh and wow! Service excellent. We were looked after by 2 waiters and both super friendly, attentive and knew how to have a laugh. (Genuinely top service). Price: Very reasonable. Not cheap but then quality food, service and atmosphere must be paid for and staff aren't free! So for me it was fair price for starters x 2, Mains x 2 and Drinks. (£66) Thank You again.

This is my second time coming here, the food, service and atmosphere are amazing. Richard served me and topped up the tzaziki when it was almost finished. Would definitely recommend going if you are in the area.

Fantastic restaurant! We had a table for 13 to celebrate a birthday and it was perfect from start to finish. Service was great and the food was delicious! Thanks so much, we will be back.

Fantastic local family run restaurant with fresh and delicious food

Had a brilliant experience. We ordered the meat platter. Food was amazing

Amazing food and generous portions.

A real taste of Greece in the heart of Handforth! We enjoyed the service and the platters for two are more than enough food.

What a find in Handforth! Delicious authentic Greek food. Fantastic atmosphere and attentive staff. Thanks to Ela and her staff for making it our special place to eat.

Had a refurb since time we visited so we’re worrying it wasn’t going to be the same or have the same ambience… totally wrong… great atmosphere lovely service and amazing food

Amazing food and service. Managed to squeeze us in last minute on a Saturday night and it was fabulous thank you.

Amazing food. Staff are good but just too busy

Great food, great service.cocktails were mint!!!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff!

Visited on numerous occasions food and service is exceptional as always. Friendly staff that go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.

1st time here, food was average, the spanakopita pies had been reheated in the microwave & didn't have much flavour. The lamb kleftico was basically a lamb shank, which was disappointing when we have experienced true Greek food in Greece. The service was good though & our food was served at good timings

Fabulous food, fabulous service

Food and staff were amazing you need to try this place!

Top notch authentic cuisine. Mouth watering dishes. Family friendly! Reasonable prices. Make sure you book - the place is ALWAYS fully booked. Truly remarkable, all plates I saw being cleared were licked clean! The revamp is delightful & the staff are happy to be there 😀 get a baklava from the bakery next door 👌 perfection!

Good food shame about getting order wrong but still being charged more for a meal I didn’t have and not willing to change the bill. Staff not overly attentive.
