Our Story

Welcome To Ela Mesa Taste of Greece

Creating a Greek cuisine restaurant has been our dream for many, many years. And driven by the passion for our culture, history, and the food of our country, we are thrilled to now share this dream with others. With more than twenty years of restaurant experience and hospitality, we opened the doors of Ela Mesa Taste of Greece, located in the heart of Gaithersburg Maryland in 2022.
