ala

Featured in the Michelin guide as a “gastronomic gem,” Ala is a completely halal kitchen bringing the Levantine experience to DC - incorporating authentic Middle Eastern recipes into innovative small plates. It is a blend of the favorites that you know, including hummus and baba ghanoush (Riya may have a small obsession tbh - there is always hummus in her fridge) and dishes you may have never tried, like zaytoon and batinjan.
