Charcoal-grilled Greek chicken with salad and lemon

All Greek food is good.
This is better.

Meat roasting over charcoal in the Ela Kendro kitchen

The Kitchen

Cooked the way it's done back home.

Our kitchen is Greek and Cypriot to the core. Fresh herbs, good olive oil, meat straight off the charcoal grill, and meze made to be shared. Come for one plate, stay for the whole table.

The Bar

Cypriot and Greek wines by the glass or bottle, chilled ouzo and zivania, Metaxa, and a champagne list for the big occasions, alongside all the usual spirits. Start with something Greek, find a favourite, and take the evening slowly.

  • Mojito with mint and lime at the bar
  • Pink cocktail in a martini glass
  • Layered coffee cocktail with foam
  • Spirit serve with stacked glasses

From Greece, With Love

“Ela” means “come.” Come in, sit down, eat with us. That's the whole idea behind Ela Kendro. A family brought the food, the hospitality and the noise of a proper Greek table from home to the heart of Gillingham, and it's been feeding the Medway towns like family ever since. A good story, a better meal.
