An unmistakable Greek island ambience in the heart of Kuta

There is no shortage of global tastes to sample in Kuta, but few can replicate the authenticity like Elamu. Elamu Greek Home Cooking delivers the promise of genuine Greek cuisine and it also has a real look and feel of the quintessential Greek taverna. You’ll definitely sense that unmistakable Eastern Mediterranean vibe. The décor and layout have been designed with ultimate precision to literally transport diners to a small, sleepy fishing village somewhere in the Aegean Sea.

The main interior dining space features a range of seating options with rustic tables, low cushioned benches, cozy alcoves and corner sofa units for convivial dining in a larger group. Old sepia tinted photos from times gone hang on the walls and there are many retro items giving a sense you are enjoying an evening meal during a Greek island vacation. The overall design artfully blends the classic whitewashed Greek architecture with familiar rustic furnishings found throughout Lombok.

This indoor dining space has an informal open plan style which leads onto the very eye-catching outdoor courtyard. This courtyard looks the part with whitewashed stone walls featuring hanging vines, colourful bougainvillea and mango plants. It’s the ideal place for more intimate al fresco dining. Elamu also offers this as an event space for small scale private gatherings of all kinds. There is also a co-working space.

The Elamu menu spans breakfast, lunch, dinner and late evening bites with all the well know Greek classics like beef moussaka, Greek salad and souvlaki. There is a comprehensive choice of sharing plates encompassing mixed grill platters, seafood, vegetarian and vegan options. In fact, there is a commendable array of good options for vegetarians across the menu

Breakfast fare includes Greek pancakes, poached and Kayana eggs, while afternoon light bites range from salads, soups, haloumi wraps and much more. The main menu is an all-day one so can be enjoyed day or night. Other standouts include the Greek meatballs, Beefteki and grilled mackerel.  

Needless to say, all the classic Greek appetizers, dips and sides you know and love are here, like Taramosalata, Greek Falafel, Hummus and Tzatziki. The beverage choice is unsurprisingly extensive with unique cocktail creations, beer, wines and spirits.

Elamu is open from early morning for breakfast until 11:00pm and offers delivery to your door. Dinner reservations can also be booked in advance via Whatsapp.
