Wasn't feeling to good but really was in the mood for some chicken over rice so called and picked up that and a middle east platter for all of us to munch on. Everything was delicious. My kids are now fans. Will be eating there again!
Very good overall. The grape leaves are ok, but a little on the mushy side for me. The fatoosh, tabouli, rice, kibbee and meat pies were all very good.
This is the best Mediterranean option in town. Great menu selection, great portions. I judge a place like this by their kibbie, grape leaves, and hummus. Elham wins in every category. Service could be a little better sometimes.
I wasn't overly familiar with Middle Eastern food but went in with an open mind. Loved it so much I was sampling from my friends' plates!! What a yummy and pleasant surprise...I'll definitely visit again
Good food. I am well traveled and have dined in linen service restaurants, boutique eateries, and have feasted om made from scratch Mediterranean meals. Elhams lamb is top shelf and the grape leaves are the finest you will taste. The hummus and tabbouleh are quite nice as well. Great place modest prices clean and friendly.
Wonderful Surprise!. Ever since Crystal's went under new ownership, I have been dying for another good middle eastern restaurant. I cannot believe that my favorite spot is up north by me! Everything was excellent, but you must get the lamb on a rod as they do a fabulous job cooking it to a perfect medium rare (per my request). Really have great flavors at this little "dive."
We ordered take out. The one word of caution I would offer, is that they get busy and on a Friday night seemed to have 2-3 very flustered waitresses . As a 10 year veteran to the service industry (front of the house), my assessment tells me that ordering take out is the way to go at Elhams on the weekend.
Great food, Great Staff. Elham's is the best in town. We are constantly at this resturant when we eat out. Food portions are fantastic and you always have left overs for the next day. I love their grape leaves.
Wonderful. My office frequently gets take out from Elham Restaurant. I absolutely love everything I have tried from there and have become known to much of their friendly staff. I highly recommend Elham's to anyone who is not afraid to try or loves middle-eastern food. The chicken over rice is amazing, as are the grape leaves!
Great tasting mid-eastern food. My family frequents Elham and we have always found their food to be fresh and prepared to our liking. If you are the type of person who has an affinity towards mixing everything on your plate together try the lamb with rice and vegetables and smother it with both garlic and pepper sauce. Luxury! They also have a lamb "Pittsburgher" that I have yet to try, but aim to in the near future. FYI: this place is byob. Bottoms up!
Edit: tried the Pittsburgher and loved it. The mix of lamb, fried egg, lettuce, fries, Syrian bread, garlic and pepper sauce was a party for my taste buds. They never wanted it to end.
Best of the Best. This is a excellent restaurant there food is great never had a bad meal here. service is good but homey when they have time . My opinion is the best lamb in town. Just love it.
atmosphere is irrelevant when it comes to the food.
Delicious Food. We have several mid east restaurants around this town and the Elham has the most delicious food. The best Kibbe and the best Grape Leaves for sure. If you have tried mid eastern food in the past and are so-so about it then you need to try the Elham because it is just that good that you may become a fan of Kibbee and Lamb and Stuffed Grape Leaves. The last couple of times I have ordered their Chicken House Platter and now it is my favorite dish there. The portions are so big that I can take part home and have it for a meal the following day. The servers have always been pleasant and do the best that they can when things get busy. The atmosphere here is just ok but the food makes up for it.
