Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Rolling Meadows

Today was our first time in this restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was great, the atmosphere in the restaurant was very relaxing and friendly. Highly recommend to visit and experience Mediterranean cosine.

We loved our time at Elia - the food, atmosphere, and service were all phenomenal, thank you.

We had a party of 9 with 4 adults and 5 teenagers. The burrata and suasage w/ pepper appetizers were fantastic. The waiter and chef obliged my vegetarian request for a pasta marinara dish with vegetables even though it wasn't on the menu. Most of our group ordered the rigatoni alla vodka w/ sausage. Everyone enjoyed the food and service.

They have gluten free options which is great for those of us who can’t eat gluten. Also, very nice staff!

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was a lovely afternoon. The servers were quick with anything we needed and were always friendly. They were also helpful - my husband asked for Turkish coffee and the server responded that black coffee was included but there would be an extra charge for Turkish. Totally reasonable and I appreciated not getting a surprise added charge later. The food was solid, especially the cold apps/salads, cig kofte, lentil soup, bread basket, and the two meats made from ground meat. It's tough to prepare food for such a large group, so not surprising that the chicken kebabs were drier than I'd like. I was sad not to see any lamachun available, as it was listed. But that's okay as that's also something that's better when it's piping hot. At no point did anyone indicate that they needed our table, which can be a concern both at buffets and on holidays. We were able to relax between courses and enjoy the holiday as a family. I'd happily return!
