About

Ala serves Levantine and Middle Eastern small plates, including vegan-labeled hummus, falafel, golden cauliflower, and fattoush, alongside meat and seafood dishes. The stylish dining room has a street-side terrace, and Saturday brunch can be a buffet; dinner prices include entrées around $30, so it’s a more planned night out than a quick meal.
