Best WLM Reviews
Absolutely loved Ala in DC! We went for their bottomless brunch, which was an incredible experience. They have a fantastic buffet with a wide variety of fresh and flavorful dishes. There were so many sides, cheeses, dips, and delicious fish appetizers – I was genuinely surprised at the variety and quality, especially for the price. The food was filling, and each dish was a treat.
The cocktails were fantastic too, perfectly crafted and full of flavor. The ambiance and music added to the whole experience, creating a vibrant, inviting atmosphere. They have a cute inside but we sat outside and it’s definitely a vibe! Truly top-notch staff – attentive, friendly, and so welcoming. Ala is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable brunch in DC!
They have a fun happy hour deal which I’ll check out next time!
We were a group of 5 people and had a fabulous experience at ala. the small dishes were so tasty. We were actually quite full by the time the big plates arrived. Ever was yummy. Berna, the waitress, made wonderful recommendations to our choices. We were happy with this find and definitely come back.
We had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant! Every dish we ordered was not only delicious but also expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding, with friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Despite a minor inconvenience, the manager and our waiter promptly made amends, including comping our bill and treating us to a sampling of all their desserts - a true testament to the high level of service expected from a Michelin-starred establishment. The location is ideal, just a short walk from DuPont Circle, and the ambiance is enhanced by a cool music selection (I even discovered a few new songs to add to my playlist!). If you're craving authentic Levantine cuisine in the heart of DC, look no further. This restaurant truly excels in both food and service!
We took some out of town guests to Ala this past weekend and it didn’t disappoint! Everything we tried was delicious. The service was friendly and helpful and the restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere.
Very mediocre for a weekend brunch in this price range. Expect to spend $60 - $70 for a meal with tax and tip. Delicious desserts and good starters. (there are few places in DC that do this platter style even better - Ambar). The main course on the brunch menu is just okay.
The tawook chicken strips are very sweet and very mild on the spice. The spinach shakshuka is just okay on the flavor profile too.
The baklava is delicious. Their zalabia is even better. Delicious compote and fried dough.
The place is a bit cramped with tables so not the most relaxed brunch environment. May be better for an a la carte visit. Which they do not allow during brunch timings.
4 stars just because of the desert, Turkish coffee, the cocktail - Levant and the manager, who is from Algeria and was so nice to compensate for a ???? service. I came for the Turkish tea, but they are no longer serving it, which was disappointing
So many great flavors! Lots of great things to try and wonderful service. Berna helped us pick some fabulous dishes, and we had a truly enjoyable evening.
We had a group of 6 for dinner. The atmosphere is very inviting and even though it was busy it wasn't loud at all inside. They recommended sharing plates and we ordered several small bites and three main plates for the table which was enough food. Everything was tasty, especially the Adana Kebab, which was my favorite.
