   Excellent service and ambiance. Quiet. We all enjoyed all recommendations from our delightful waiter. She gave us great advice! The various flavors of the dishes blended well and we enjoyed them all! They also prepared a special birthday dessert with candles for my daughter's birthday. Will definitely come again.

    Reported allergy at the beginning of meal and was promised that food would be prepared accordingly. Two bites in and my food gave me an allergic reaction prompting a trip to the hospital. The manager contacted me and offered to cover my party/table the next time, but when I came in only offered to cover 40% of my bill. Food was average at best- suffice to say, not worth risking your life.

    We went to Ala for restaurant week. I enjoyed the watermelon feta salad, the lamb chop/shrimp dish, and the baklava. Wasn’t a big fan of the dips—I feel like mezze tastes better elsewhere. Our server was attentive, and I appreciated that. The unique wines were also good.

    Such an amazing experience at Ala! We ordered mainly meze dishes and very full for the hot plates- I got the Pandora coctail and hubby went for more traditional raki. We got all the cheese dishes, lahmacun, hummus and lot of pita ! The ambience and service are top notch. Their brunch is amazing and their dinner definjtely matches it. Highly recommend - there is street parking and Colonial parking garage right next door so very convenient!

    When I looked at reviews online one of the first things I saw was how hospitable the staff were. This was extremely correct. Our server was extremely kind & patient, and so was the manager. This was my date & I’s first time at the restaurant so the server took their time to explain all our questions. Food was good, but had a snack before at another stop so we did not eat as much as originally intended. The surf and turf was super tasty and the Pandora drink was delicious and smelled amazing. It helps that the Pandora was made and I believe supports financially, the efforts to stop violence against women. We also ordered something that was grains and tomatoes with cilantro. It was super tasty as well. We will definitely return to this spot to explore more of their menu.

We also had some delicious cocktails and a glass of rose.. They have a great selection of wines. Service was great and everyone was pleasant.
