We are named after the word ala, a Turkish saying that translates to a mix of all the colors. This idea represents the journey we are each on to taste the many cultures & recipes from different areas of the world while inviting people in from all backgrounds. We offer the full Levant experience - everything from mouth-watering cooking to specialty wine, liquor and cocktails...

Many Colors. We welcome you to experience ala: where unique food, rare drinks, loving hospitality, and an atmosphere of color and excitement will greet you.

Layali Lubnan, or “Nights of Lebanon,” is a timeless Levantine dessert traditionally served to celebrate hospitality and shared gatherings. Our vegan version pairs delicate semolina and coconut milk with pistachios and fragrant jallab—a rose-infused date and tamarind molasses—for a light, nostalgic finish to your meal.

Carrot Mahamas — a bright balance of sweet and savory. Roasted carrots meet tangy tamarind, creamy tahini-labneh, fragrant chermoula, feta, and pistachio dukkah for a dish that’s textured, bold, and quietly addictive. The perfect, bright side.
