A Newton dining spot that features a mix of cuisines is shutting down.
According to a couple of sources, Ellana's Kitchen & More in Newton Centre is closing its doors, with a Facebook post from the Pelham Street eatery saying the following:
With great sadness, we would like to announce that we have decided to permanently close Ellana's Kitchen. Unfortunately, the owner of the building has a new project for it, so we must hand over the premises. After analyzing our options, we think it is our time to complete this period of our lives. The last day that we will be open to the public is Sunday, June 5th of 2022.
Ellana's first opened in 2017, taking over the space that had been home to Inna's Kitchen before it moved to a nearby location. The eatery has been known for its Venezuelan and Mediterranean fare, including such items as arepas, empanadas, falafel, chicken shawarma, and baklava.
The address for Ellana's Kitchen & More is 19 Pelham Street, Newton, MA, 02459. Its website can be found at https://www.ellanaskitchen.com/
