From the moment we arrived the service was fantastic, and the safety precautions in place re COVID made us feel very safe. Our waiter, Neil, was so friendly and took time to explain the menu to us. We chose 3 starters - meatballs, garlic prawns and patatas bravas and they were delicious, the meatballs in particular were a highlight. We then had a mixed paella - wow! So tasty - be prepared it is a LARGE paella. We had it between 2 but could easily feed 4 - we took the remainder home! 5 star from start to finish and I can't wait to return. read less

Came here before and enjoyed it and it was our first revisit since lockdown. When we arrived we waited outside and someone came immediately to check we had booked, show us to a table and take our contact details. He explained that the table had been wiped down and offered an extra wipe down if we’d like it.

Looking around i noticed the place has had a bit of a makeover since last visit. Very nice! Tables were more spaced out because of distancing. Our drinks order was taken quickly and shortly after our food order was taken. There was no problem of excessive wait. People were arriving, being told the safety procedures and shown to tables as we waited so there seemed to be a good system in place.

Our food came out in good time. Clams were delicious and we ordered bread to mop up that amazing sauce. The fried courgettes in red wine glaze are fantastic.

After our food we ordered another couple of glasses of wine and chilled before moving on. A really good and enjoyable meal and i have to say in total contrast to some recent reviews and this was a Saturday night. Remains a firm favourite and the effort to keep people safe and happy appreciated. Back soon! read less

Once we arrived we waited outside for a few moments before being greeted and brought to our table.

Having never eaten tapas before I asked a member of staff, an older gentleman, who was more than happy to provide recommendations. We ended up getting a few dishes which were all lovely and the portion sizes were definitely on the larger side! Our favourites were the meatballs in tomato sauce and the patatas bravas.

Overall we really enjoyed our first dinner out since before lockdown and the food was beautiful. The service was fantastic and both the gentleman and the young Spanish girl never made us feel that anything was too much of a bother. This will be the first of many trips. read less

It was very busy when we were there but the guys serving us managed to deal with all the Covid tracing stuff and all the customers and still had the time to keep a smile on their faces and put us at ease. Yes we had to wait a little bit longer for food and drinks but you have to accept that where ever you are these days. With the dine out we had pre-dinner mojitos, a seafood paella, a couple of dishes as a starter and a bottle of a decent house white. Even without the £20 discount it would have been reasonable value for what we got. All in all a nice night and Elenas remains the best Spanish restaurant in Glasgow.

I have only one gripe and it is not with the restaurant. I’ve been reading some of the reviews on here of recent and take major issue with some of the reviewers. Guys have you been living on a different planet for the last few months? Every shop, bank whatever has had to change how they do things but you guys just seem to think that everything should be the same as it was before. We all have to adapt and the staff at Elenas still do a fantastic job despite what you might think! read less

I was ready for some of the fresh paella, and my favourite, patatas bravas (with Aioli of course). The team took safety measures seriously and seemed to be doing a great job of keeping the place running with good spacing between tables etc.

The food here is FRESH and portion sizes are much more generous than average tapas. read less

Particularly enjoyed the garlic prawns and the calamari, and a couple of the spanish reds. The restaurant is large, and we felt safe, being at least 2 meters from anyone else, and complied with covid guidelines with trace and protect info gathering. Our waiter, Neil, was attentive and although he was clearly run off his feet, he remained professional and friendly when speaking with us. Hopefully they will get some temp staff or something to help with service, as although ours was good, it was clear more staff were needed. Understand that it's difficult during this time though, and most importantly the food was great and we were safe .. so will be back!! read less

My husband and I went for lunch around 3PM on Tuesday 28th July. The restaurant was busy and thankfully we where able to get a table without a booking. Our host was friendly and attentive despite doing all front of house duties solo. This man never stopped the whole time we where there. Service was fast and friendly and despite how busy our host was he still made sure we where enjoying our meal and quickly responded to additional food and drinks requests. We ordered a variety of dishes including, chicken, prawns, tortilla and goat's cheese everything was delicious. The bread basket was fresh, tasty and plentiful, perfect to mop up the oil from our delicious garlic prawns. The little Russian salad presented by our host was a delicious surprise, a nice little touch. I'm sure this will be the 1st of many visits to Elena's as we thoroughly enjoyed every dish, drinks, service and the atmosphere all for a very reasonable price. Great value for money. read less
