   The cocktails were all delicious, well made. The food was a bit disappointing, the sweet pastries were very ordinary and all the bagels had egg in them which wasn’t appealing with drinks. Plain Ham / cheese or salmon/avocado bagels would have been better. The fruit platter was fresh and varied. Overall the drinks were great value.

   Ellora St KildaResponded on January 20, 2023HI Kara, Glad you loved the cocktails and found it to be great value. Apologies if you found the food on this occasion to not meet your expectation, we have sent the feedback to the chef to improve on our offerings. Thanks you

   Was a fantastic experience the staff were amazing and very attentive. We came for a 30th birthday and all our guests loved it. The venue has an incredible view, staff, and service all around. Highly recommended.

   Such a great little spot with an awesome balcony and great music throughout the night, my only fault would be the music was a little too loud inside, you couldn’t hear yourself talk so everyone hung out mostly outside so at times the indoor area looked deserted. But other than that fabulous staff, a big fan of the magician.

   Ellora St KildaResponded on May 17, 2022Hi! Thank you for your kind review! Glad you loved our tunes and the balcony. We are monitoring the music levels to be more comfortable. Thanks!

    Crowd was too young for us, watered down jugs of cocktails were not worth the money we paid. The music was so loud we had to yell at each other and it was early in the afternoon. The food was lovely and staff friendly but as a couple of friends that are in the over 45 age group this place was not for us. Sorry, we most likely will not return/

    Everything was so sticky that 2 of us actually broke our shoes on the dance floor - very unpleasant!! We ended up leaving after only 1 round of drinks because of it. The signature Ellora cocktail was delish! The service was actually nice from one lovely waitress who was very attentive and the view from the balcony is lovely but the place/vibe/space is a little strange….. probably alright when it’s very full but the dance floor was in an odd spot, it was all very light and open and we just couldn’t get into the vibe or the young crowd. Gave more of a young trashy vibe than the classy vibe their pictures seemed to portray.

    Ellora St KildaResponded on May 17, 2022Hi guys, Glad to hear you loved our signature cocktails and service. Sorry to hear you broke your show on the dancefloor. The crowd later at night does start getting a bit younger then say over dinner time but we are certainly not known for a trashy crowd and the photos from our website and socials are all genuine :) If you send me your details privately so I can try and rectify the issue with your broken shoes? Thanks

    A bar vibe - decent finger food, nothing substantial so don’t go here expecting dinner. Plenty of cocktails to choose from and classic alcoholic drinks. Cocktails around $18-20. Table service can be slow when busy and you’re located outside. Good vibes, with a dj and space to dance, however, inside area was basically empty and outdoor area was packed when we went so was a bit awkward inside.

    It was the first day back after lockdown, so I expected some hiccups, but this was pretty rough. The line for the bar took upwards of 40 minutes - we only got one round of drinks for the whole night. We also ordered some food, which was quite good! But there was a lot of confusion around the order, with one dish arriving only after 2 hours, and after multiple requests to the wait staff to follow up. Throughout the night, we had other orders brought to our table, with the staff unsure who had made the order. Very likely they were short-staffed, and I totally sympathise with that. But it would do a lot for the business to add table numbers to the tables, and also QR codes that people can use to order from their table. Aside from that, the ambiance was good and the music enjoyable. I would happily go again if the management addressed the issues above.

    Ellora St KildaResponded on October 25, 2021Hello! Thanks so much for attending Ellora. Apologies if our service on the night was not up to our usual high standards. It was challenging being the first night back and with the last minute backflip on only double vaxxed staff, you are correct, like many places we were short staffed. Great suggestions with QR codes and table numbers. If you would like to come again, please let me know, (my name is Ben) you will find much smoother service

    Such an amazing experience. The manager with the red hair gave the most amazing service. We will 100% be coming back. - If we didn’t have a reservation straight after we would have stayed as long as they would have let us! Food was amazing, drinks were even better. (Music could have been a tiny bit louder but we did come very early in the day so understandable for it to be a bit quieter).

    Was such a fun night and the staff were amazing. Ben helped me organise the table even though I should have done it online, he helped me anyway. The bouncers were really friendly and were making jokes with my friends. The bar tenders were really helpful. My friends phone died and the bar tenders went looking for 5 minutes to see if they had a charger cord for her. I would definitely come back to this place and would definitely recommend

    Arrived with a group of 20 people. Was advised we would be waiting 40mins for drinks... which is outrageous. We then finally started getting ours order in and there was no process. There was no names being taken everybodys orders were mixed up there was drinks being left by staff on random tables. It was a shambles!!! Loads of my guest lost out on a a lot of money from drinks not arriving ! It was very disappointing and ruined the of my birthday.

    Ellora St KildaResponded on January 18, 2021Hi Kelly, Sorry if we didn't meet your expectations. The group did arrive with signs of intoxication, which did pose a few issues for us, hence the mention of a 40min drink wait (it was about 15m after reviewing cctv). We did have you seated on time and provided free drinks for the group. We now have implemented an additional approach bar on top of table service. I've since followed you up via phone & I hope you take us up on the offer to come down and experience our hospitality again. Ben
