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 had an absolutely fantastic experience at ala in Bethesda. The food was amazing. The portion sizes were just perfect. They also have a great selection of vegetarian options.  The Kunafa is a must order for dessert. Most of all,  the service was outstanding. Kim is the best!
We are definitely going back.

Had a great first experience at Ala in Washington DC! I went with my friend and we both selected the all you can eat buffet which is setup almost like a build your own charcuterie style of portions from the buffet - with traditional middle eastern delicacies and meats and cheeses. The all you can eat brunch was $36 per person, and for $12 more I was able to add on all-you-can-drink mimosas, which was presented with my own bottle of champagne and orange juice (bloody Mary’s also an option). You also good order one main dish at the time, which I got the slider and flatbread - both great flavors.

My server was Ozlem and she was very sweet and attentive and made us feel welcome, while also providing good conversation when we initiated.

Food was good, place was cute, and prices were good! Great experience all around, and again shoutout to Ozlem for providing great customer experience.

I had the most wonderful dining experience at Ala, and it was all thanks to our amazing waitress, Vanessa. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. She made excellent recommendations from the menu, ensured our glasses were never empty, and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask.

Her positive energy and genuine care made the meal feel so much more special. It’s rare to find such outstanding service these days, and she truly went above and beyond to make our visit memorable.

Thank you, Vanessa, for your kindness and exceptional service! I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends. AND, she took a photo for us!
