About Us
Our Story
Chellas Arepa Kitchen is thrilled to introduce a vibrant menu of South American-inspired comfort cuisine to the Lancaster area. "Chellas" was our beloved grandmother's endearing nickname, and this restaurant serves as a heartfelt tribute to her. It is her enduring legacy that taught us the art of cooking and ignited our shared passion for gastronomy.
At Chellas home, it was never just about the food; it was an experience steeped in rich flavors and lively conversation. Friends and family would frequently gather to commemorate life's simple moments, which lingered in memory long after indulging in a tantalizing feast.
Having been born and raised in Peru, we were privileged to witness Grandma Chellas craft an array of traditional dishes that have now found a home on our menu. We cherish the opportunity to share these cherished family recipes with you.
So, who is Chellas? Chellas is not only the name of our beloved grandma but also the embodiment of our culinary inspiration. As we continue to serve her cherished recipes, we hope Chella's Arepa Kitchen becomes your preferred destination for savoring delicious meals with your loved ones.
More About Us
Combining our love for cooking with our Latin heritage, we set out to bring something new to Lancaster. The result was fresh Venezuelan-inspired arepas with a South American Twist. Those who’ve taken their taste buds on a trip to the southern hemisphere are blown away by the unique tastes and sensations. We put pride into every meal prepared in our kitchen and use only quality ingredients – something that makes a big difference when it comes to taste. We want every Pennsylvanian to be able to gather and enjoy our food: That’s why all of our meals are completely gluten-free, and we offer options for vegans and vegetarians. So come on by our little island and try something new – you’ll be glad you did.
