jquery metismenu not working loading data async with AngularJS controller

I have a problem with Jquerymetis menu. I want to load menu elements from Database and I'm using AngujarJS controller to get the JSON with menu elements.

Here is AngularJSController

var appControllers = angular.module('appControllers', []);

appControllers.controller('MenuCtrl', ['$scope', '$http',
  function ($scope, $http) {
      var url = "/api/Menus/GetMenuElements";
      $http.post(url).
        success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
            $scope.menuElements = data;
            console.log("Success");
        }).
        error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
            console.log("Error");
        });
  }]);

Then in a PartialView of my ASP.NET MVC project I have the Angular directives to add the elements to menu.

<ul class="nav" id="side-menu">
    <li ng-repeat="elementL1 in menuElements" ng-init="menuElements != null">
        <a ng-if="elementL1.LINK !== null" href="{{elementL1.LINK}}"><i class="fa fa-home"></i> <span class="nav-label">{{elementL1.NAME}}</span><span class="fa arrow"></span></a>
        <a ng-if="elementL1.LINK == null"><i class="fa fa-home"></i> <span class="nav-label">{{elementL1.NAME}}</span> </a>

        <ul ng-repeat="elementL2 in elementL1.ChildMenu" ng-if="elementL1.ChildMenu.length > 0" class="nav nav-second-level">
            <li class="primerLi">
                <a>{{elementL2.NAME}}<span class="fa arrow"></span></a>
                <ul ng-if="elementL2.ChildMenu.length > 0" class="nav nav-third-level">
                    <li ng-repeat="elementL3 in elementL2.ChildMenu">
                        <a href="{{elementL3.LINK}}">{{elementL3.NAME}}</a>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

This is adding fine the elements to the menu but it doesn't work the collapse and expand. It apear expanded and I can't collapse the elements.

I think that the problem is that I have to call $('#side-menu').metisMenu(); after loading elements but if i call this on the browser console it doesn't work.

How can achieve this? I'm new with Angular. Here I have seen the same issue but I could't solve the problem. https://github.com/onokumus/metisMenu/issues/22
