It's hard to say exactly what's Greek about Elena's Greek and Armenian Cuisine. It does have gyros, but that sort of kebab sliced from a vertical spit is not unknown in Armenian (or Lebanese) cuisine, and neither are stuffed grape leaves. Maybe it's just the copies of classical statuary that adorn this otherwise plain, institutional-green room. The food is quite good--the luleh kebab rather spicy, the beef kebab very tender. You get a little plate of pickled cabbage along with the usual rice and grilled vegetables.

i finally went to this place after knowing about it for some 18 years as it is on my in-laws street. it is a quaint dwelling, although i thought they should have a few traditional greek foods. anyway, the food was good, very reasonable, but waaayyyy too salty and they undercooked the "greek" hamburger. so if you have blood pressure issues, think twice about going.

We have been going to this wonderful restaurant for 28 of their 30 years. It is very low key and inexpensive, but they make the most tender and moist chicken kabob you will ever have. The stuffed grape leaves are served warm with a yogurt sauce, absoultely wonderful. It is worth driving to from the westside.

I love the gyros at this place, most of the time I order the gyros. They put yogurt sauce and cucumbers on in, and its to die for. The pork chops are good too, well done. I would recommend this place. But they do get busy at lunch time.
