Elmas — Restaurant in England

Clearly everyone that goes here is local for the good reviews. We just moved here three weeks ago and 5 minutes down the road from the restaurant . It’s busy each time we pass. Amazing reviews as we have seen ,and the food looks amazing on the website so we were eager to visit. We pre booked . They struggled to find us a table when we arrived . I took two sips of my drink and we were told the kitchen were struggling and stopping orders as they weren’t coping.this came from the bar staff . We then eventually got the starters . The prawns were rubbery and full of garlic . That much it was too over bearing to eat . But I did any way, as I was starving . My bf chipped his tooth on the main dish which was lamb chops on the special menu. My lamb shank was cold in the middle which was disgusting . It wasn’t cooked. Which makes me believe it was done in the microwave ,we will never go here again . It was the worst experience I have ever had and we have come home starving and having to cook after a £120 bill . Never again

This is to the reply from the staff who has sent me a reply to my review . We didn’t get a table straight away the staff had to separate tables for us to sit down leaving a random table in the middle of the walk way that your staff put two ladies on ,who then asked to move S they were getting squashed by the next table . Does this show on the cctv ? Your kitchen, as we were told had to stop taking orders as you were struggling . You know this to be true as the bar staff told us. You have had no reply to give me for this or the fact my lamb was stone cold In the middle which can cause food poisoning. My boyfriend also chipped his tooth on something in the food . We paid the bill and made no fuss ,but we definitely won’t be returning and your lack of empathy to the bad experience shows a lot about the...

WOW! Absolutely stunning, everything from the atmosphere to the decor, the staff were friendly, attentive & welcoming. My mum ate the garlic mushrooms & garlic bread which she said were delicious, my brother ate the cheesy garlic bread & Pizza which were full of flavour, a great size, the base was perfect the nicest he'd had, I ate the sirloin steak, seasonal vegetables and salad, and I cannot fault it at all, the vegetables were so delicious, honestly I don't like broccoli or parsnips but I ate them today! My grandad ate the lamb which when he went to cut a piece off it fell off the bone, it was so tender, the gravy was rich in flavour & a dish i need to go back for. Overall we'd give 5* definitely worth a visit, the nicest food we've...

Lively buzzing little place to eat. Place was packed at 7pm on Saturday night, and still full when we left a couple of hours later. Service friendly and not intrusive. Complimentary humous and bread to start with, followed by fillet steaks, mushrooms, thick cut chips and pepper sauce. Steaks cooked perfectly to order, mushrooms were a standout. Finished off with apple crumble (proper crumble not that oat based imposter) and tiramisu. Washed down with Peroni and merlot. Excellent food, service and an evening out. Parking just opposite in a pay and display car park,...
