Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The standout feature at ELLA is the flavor-packed menu that never disappoints. Diners rave about the juicy kebabs and the well-seasoned shawarmas that keep them coming back for more. The ‘Meal for Two’ platter is a local favorite, showcasing a variety of meats and fresh sides, perfect for sharing. Many guests also highlight the fresh bread served with meals, describing it as 'out of this world' and a must-try.

The restaurant’s cozy ambiance also receives frequent praise, creating an inviting retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Friendly staff members add to this appeal, providing attentive service that enhances the overall experience.

Most Disliked

While many adore ELLA, a few common issues arise among reviews. Some diners express frustration over the cash-only payment policy, noting the inconvenience of needing to use nearby cash machines for card-free transactions. Additionally, during peak hours, the restaurant can become quite crowded, leading to longer wait times for food and service, which can detract from the overall experience.

The lack of alcohol licensing has also been cited as a downside, particularly for those looking to complement their meal with a drink. Such limitations can dissuade some patrons who may expect a full dining experience.

We tried it first time for pizza take away and tbh we were expecting an average taste pizza but to our pleasant surprise both chicken and pepperoni pizzas were super delicious and very tasteful. Thumps up to the chef! Its halal and make sure you have cash on you as they dun accept card but 2 cash machines are close by although one of it was out of order.

I would give more stars if I could! Me and my husband got a cosy table for two on a busy Saturday night. We loved the music and the restaurant smelled amazing. The first thing I noticed is how friendly and attentive the staff were. We ordered the platter for two and the bread which came as a started was out of this world fresh tasting and fluffy. The meat was juicy and seasoned to perfection which left me thinking about eating it every day. I honestly think this place is my new favourite restaurant and will be going back often. We ordered desert, baklava with ice-cream. The portions were perfect and service was quick and effortless. We both had a really positive experience so thank you to all the staff, front and back of house.

I was skeptical about going to this place for dinner because of all the comments on social media, but fortunately I didn’t listen and went with my family. The atmosphere is pleasant and peaceful, the waitress was warm and friendly, and the food is EXCEPTIONAL—delicious and full of flavor. The dishes are visually appealing and served in generous portions. We’ll definitely be coming back, and I recommend you do the same. Don’t let the negative reviews keep you from going! Just a small detail, there’s no baby changing available.

The bread & dips they serve is possibly the nicest bread I’ve ever tasted. And the mixed grill is 2nd best in the north west, lovely. Staff are nice and the decor is lovely.
