Elia Greek Restaurant — Restaurant in Scotland

Moldy, Expired Pita Bread. I’ve been to this place a couple of times before and my experience had previously been very good. Lovely staff, delicious food. However, I’m pretty sure that yesterday the pita bread I was served with my £5,60 hummus dish was moldy. After taking a bite of the bread and realising it tastes absolutely horrible and sour I flipped it over to find the other side completely covered in white patches. Giving it the benefit of the doubt I assumed it was flour at first, but under further inspection I can see that it was definitely mold. This is because aside from the flavour issue it also had a foul smell and the patches had dark brownish circles under them which were nestled deep inside the bread. Moreover, this was the only piece of pita with these characteristics as the others appeared fine (although they were also quite dry and stale). To be fair, I didn’t tell any restaurant staff about this issue as I don’t like confrontation and this meal had already put me off from eating further so I didn’t see a point in asking for a replacement. Now I see that it was probably a good idea to say something in order to prevent this from happening again, which is why I’m writing this review. I think a restaurant of this standard and price rage should put better care in ensuring the food they serve to customers isn’t expired and old. I apologise for the long rant and please note that I don’t mean harm to this establishment, I just thought they should know that this happened for future reference. Take care and...

I could not recommend coming here.

I came with my friend for dinner here tonight, it looked promising and my friend said he had been here before and was very forthcoming about the portions of food you get relative to the price. The prices really took me to expect that the portions of food would match the prices.

Unfortunately we were both disappointed to see that for what we payed for, the portions were well under expectations, starter sizes. I ordered the Lamb souvlaki while my friend ordered the mixed grill. My friend mentioned to me while we were puzzled by the entree sized portions that the size were double last year according to his memory.

I got a miserable plate of five bite sized portions of lamb for the 'low, low price' of £17! With 7 pieces of potato and an undressed pile of leaves as a salad on the side. Also a 'cheap' pint of Coke for £4.50!!

I usually expect Greek restaurants for being generous, being a Melburnian, a city with over half a million Greek Australians, the restaurants there just serve you with massive portions, same as the Greek restaurants in Berlin!

If you enjoy being ripped off, by all means come to this restaurant. 5 stars for the grift guys!

I am sorry guys, but because I left hungry and felt completely ripped off, I had to give you a bad review, and I am the guy who usually...
