Elia

You'll find Elia tucked away on Commercial Way, in that stretch of Woking where the town actually feels like it's got something going on. Walk in and it's all warm lighting and the kind of buzzy atmosphere that comes from people genuinely enjoying their food. The menu reads like a love letter to the Aegean—think whole sea bass, lamb chops that have seen proper heat, and proper Greek salads that aren't an afterthought. Service moves at the right pace, staff know what they're talking about, and the wine list leans into Greek bottles you won't find everywhere. It's the sort of place locals book for occasions but also just turn up to on a Tuesday because they fancy something proper good.
