"We celebrated my wife’s birthday at Ala, I saw them on Resy through Amex and it turned out to be one of the most refreshing dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. The Levantine atmosphere was mind-bending modern, elegant, and full of sensory detail that makes you feel momentarily transported somewhere in the Mediterranean coast. We had both had the $58 dollars tasting experience were you get to pick 3 hot mezze and 3 cold mezze, we had tried the Salmon Kibbeh Nayeh(our favorite), Tuna Tartare Dolmades, batata hara, with dolma bi lahm and some others stuff we forgot , the whole thing accompanied by a Mishmish cocktail and Acqua Panna water. The cocktail had smoke inside lol I was impressed, it also had a sweet and smoking flavor. Every bite was layered with texture, flavor, and artistry. The presentation alone felt like a form of storytelling bold colors, refined plating, and spices that awaken curiosity. I know they had a chef in the back because that was 5 stars presentation. Our server Oumar was excellent attentive, warm, and genuinely proud of the food he was serving. His energy made the night even more enjoyable. The meal ended on a sweet note with complimentary browny for my wife’s birthday. We had to take our deserts which were baklavas home because we were way too full! I would definitely go again"

"Huge thanks to Yeymi for such a great experience. 🩵 We had a great time at this restaurant. We loved the tapas/mezze style mini dishes because it made it easy to try a bunch of different things. I have digestive issues so I am usually really careful about what I eat. From the first bite I could tell everything was made with high quality oils and ingredients. The food was rich and flavorful but still felt really clean and light and I knew it wasn’t going to cause any issues for me. No heartburn at all which honestly says a lot. The kunefe was amazing and the hazelnut semolina halva was one of our favorites. For the main dishes we tried the Adana kebab and the Batinjan Sini kebab and both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The service honestly made the experience even better. The manager (Mustafa) and the entire staff(especially Yeymi) were super friendly attentive, and genuinely nice which made us feel really welcome. The rakı (beylerbeyi gobek which is my favorite and gold standard in Turkey) was excellent too and paired so well with the food. Overall it was a really enjoyable Turkish/Mediterranean/Lebanese dining experience, and we loved every minute of it. Definitely recommend checking this place out."

"Absolutely loved our experience. The service was amazing from start to finish. My date and I arrived within the last hour, about 10 minutes before the kitchen closed, and the staff was still incredibly kind and accommodating. Our waiter made sure everything came out on time and never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable. The food was delicious, and while the dumplings were just slightly warm, it was very understandable given how close it was to closing and didn’t take away from the experience at all. The space itself is beautiful, the ambiance is so inviting, and everyone was extremely friendly. Such a perfect spot for an intimate date night or a relaxed catch-up with friends. Would definitely come back."

"Oumar was my server. He was very attentive and made me feel like royalty! The brunch buffet is simply spectacular!!! The price is well worth it and the food is all phenomenal. Beyond food and service, the vibes are emasculate. You can tell the owners put their blood sweat and tears into creating a magical dining experience in a beautiful environment with excellent food and beverages. Looking for a top of the line place to eat or party with friends? Looking no further!! And they won’t break the bank"

"Made reservations blindly to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday and so glad I did! My first time here and I have already planned a return trip for later this week with more friends. The food is gorgeous and delicious! We had exceptional customer service from beginning to end! They have definitely gained a fan."
