EllaEm's Soul Food is a restaurant located in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving authentic soul food. The restaurant's story is rooted in the family history of Ella Rea Gray, who was born in Mississippi in 1913. She learned to cook from her mother and passed down her recipes to her family, including her grandson Pierre and his wife Aem.
Aem, who comes from an Asian-Pacific heritage, was already an excellent cook in her native cuisine and was eager to learn how to cook soul food. She quickly picked up the secret family recipes and, together with Pierre, decided to open a restaurant. With Ella Rea's blessing, EllaEm's was born.
The restaurant offers a variety of soul food dishes, including Pork Chops, Oxtails, Catfish, and Fried Chicken. They also have a range of sides, such as Macaroni & Cheese, Collard Greens, and Fried Okra. In addition to their regular menu, they offer catering services for events such as birthday parties, holiday parties, and corporate events.
EllaEm's is committed to serving fresh, delicious, and quality food. They strive to make their customers feel at home and invite them to take their time and indulge in their meals with care. The restaurant is located at 775 West Craig Road, Ste 146, in North Las Vegas, and can be contacted by phone or email for reservations or catering inquiries.
The restaurant's atmosphere is welcoming, and they encourage their customers to say a prayer before eating, just as Ella Rea's mother taught her. With its rich family history and commitment to serving authentic soul food, EllaEm's is a unique and special dining experience in North Las Vegas.
