Elia Authentic Greek Taverna

Elia Authentic Greek Taverna brings the warmth and flavors of the Greek islands to West Las Vegas, offering locals and visitors a genuine Mediterranean dining experience away from the Strip’s hustle. Located on West Sahara Avenue, this family-owned establishment has earned a devoted following with its commitment to traditional recipes and authentic preparations that transport diners straight to a seaside taverna in Santorini.

The menu showcases the best of Greek cuisine, featuring fresh seafood flown in regularly, perfectly grilled meats, and house-made specialties that honor generations-old family recipes. Diners rave about the moussaka layered with tender eggplant and rich béchamel, the grilled octopus that’s impossibly tender, and the whole branzino prepared with olive oil, lemon, and herbs. The mezze platters offer an excellent way to sample multiple flavors, while the lamb dishes showcase the kitchen’s mastery of traditional Greek cooking techniques.

The restaurant’s interior captures the essence of a Greek island taverna with whitewashed walls, blue accents, and rustic wooden furniture that creates an inviting Mediterranean atmosphere. Soft lighting and carefully chosen décor elements, including pottery and artwork from Greece, enhance the authentic ambiance without feeling overly themed. The dining room strikes the perfect balance between casual comfort and special occasion elegance.

Elia serves as an ideal destination for intimate date nights, family celebrations, or any occasion that calls for exceptional food in a welcoming environment. The restaurant’s commitment to authenticity, combined with warm hospitality and reasonable prices for the quality offered, makes it a standout choice for those seeking a memorable dining experience that feels both special and unpretentious.
