★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gina Rehoseni · Sep 2025

First time visiting this restaurant. I sat in the non-smoking/family area, the atmosphere was a bit different than what I expected for a Mediterranean restaurant. The food was good! I tried the grilled chicken plate, the mixed combo, and the lamb — all were flavorful and fresh. The service was different from what I'm used to, but still decent. One thing to note: the place has a lot of space, so it's a good option for large parties or events. Just be aware that the food takes a little longer since everything is made fresh to order — nothing is pre-cooked. Overall, worth a visit if you're not in a rush and want Mediterranean food.

★★★★★ 5.0 Heba Ibrahim · Nov 2025

My sisters came to visit me for the first time in Rhode Island, and we decided to go to Ellaham it was absolutely amazing! The food was so delicious and full of authentic Middle Eastern flavor; it truly reminded us of home. The service was excellent, everyone was so kind and welcoming, and the table was beautifully organized. My family couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved everything. Thank you, Ellaham, for giving us such a wonderful experience that made us feel close to our roots. Highly recommended! 🌟❤️

★★★★★ 5.0 Ibrahim Badr · Feb 2026

Let me tell you about this restaurant , we had a great time! The food was absolutely delicious, and we truly enjoyed our experience. We will definitely be coming back again. The only small issue was the parking, which felt a bit tight, but that may have been because we visited on a busy Saturday night. Inside the restaurant, I think the lighting could use some improvement. It’s not bad, but it could be adjusted , either made brighter with more modern LED lighting or dimmed slightly to create a more romantic and comfortable atmosphere. Especially in the family dining area (separate from the smoking/lounge section), a lighting update would really enhance the experience. Overall, we had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Bashir Baseem · Jan 2025

Our family dinner at this restaurant was underwhelming. They brought an extra dish we didn’t order, and when I informed the waitress, she was dismissive and insisted we had ordered it. Although they eventually took it back, the interaction felt unprofessional. The food quality didn’t help either—dry shish kebabs, cold bread, and overpriced lamb chops that didn’t justify the cost. Adding to the disappointment, the staff never checked on us after serving the food, giving the place more of a fast-food vibe than a proper dining experience. Overall, I’d recommend considering other dining options. This was not worth the price or the experience.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Muaoz Talat · Dec 2025

Not the same service as it used to be. Soon to be out of business. I have been going to this place since the old location. It's been over 8-9 years. It used to be our go to place on weekends and Ramadan.The whole staff have changed and food quality is not the same as it used to be, but last night we had the worse experience. My brother brought the drink from outside without knowing no outside drinks are allowed. Mind you, thats not how it used to be. Rules must have changed recently. When the staff reminded us, we apologized and said we were not aware but when it came time to pay, they charged us for the drink and said it doesn't matter even if the drink is from outside we still charge for it as no outside drinks policy is mentioned on the door. Instant of telling us not to bring outside
