ALA
1320 19th Street NW
The team behind Ankara has just launched their latest concept: Ala. The new Levantine-cuisine establishment is dedicated to focusing on cooking with color and mixology as a whole. In terms of the menu, Ala is split into different categories: charcuterie, hot mezze, salads, spreads, sweets, and mengal (meaning from the fire). Standouts include fried haloumi, freekeh tabouleh, chard flatbread, and harissa hummus. For drinks, patrons can also choose from an impressive selection like The Golden Horn (tequila, tumeric, urfa pepper, lime), Strawberry Fields (rum, malibu, strawberry, lime), and Kerasi (whiskey, smoked cherry syrup, and lemon). www.ala-dc.com ; 202-717-1166.
