Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!
Very good Restaurant Week menu!
I’ve been here twice and Isabel was my waitress both times. She is always kind, helpful, and attentive. Thank you Isabel for your service, it is very much appreciated. The food overall is pretty good. We came back specifically for the salt and melon, an interesting but delicious combination of watermelon and cheese. I love the dolma as well, a great balance of flavors. The batata hara is good and the Adana kebab is very flavorful. We have only sat outside so I can only speak...read full review

ala is a popular restaurant in DC, known for its inventive dishes and delicious flavors. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is friendly. The bottomless mimosa bar offers a unique experience, with various fruit syrup options and rose petal/spice additions. The food features standouts like fried halloumi and tasty desserts, and the buffet offers fresh, well-prepared dishes that frequently change. The restaurant is a bit tight, which may make it less ideal for those wanting to enjoy a very relaxed pace, but the overall vibe is chill and enjoyable. Guests note that brunch is only buffet, with plenty of options for both savory and sweet tastes, and the prices are reasonable for two hours of all-you-can-eat dining. The attentive service and lively atmosphere make ala a good spot for celebrating special occasions or just enjoying a tasty meal.
