Ela Mezze + Spirits is a culinary journey through the diverse tapestry of the Mediterranean, with a welcoming twist that beckons you to explore further. Situated in the vibrant neighborhood of VaHi, Ela takes patrons on a Grand Tour of flavors including charcoal-grilled meats, fresh seafood, spices, regional wines and curated cocktails influenced by travels from Morocco to Greece, Israel, Turkey and back. A testament to the region’s history of trade and cultural exchange, Ela’s offerings result in a sensory mosaic as vast and intricate as the sea itself and the lands surrounding it. At Ela everything is shareable, because to us, the best dishes spark the best stories, especially when surrounded by friends -- both old and new.

Our first time at this restaurant. We tried the brunch menu. The food and service was wonderful. I had the Turkish Hash and it was delicious. The portions were great for brunch. I highly recommend Ela.

Such a great vibe & food was delicious! My fiancé & I started with the mezze platter and the dips were just perfect. The hot pockets are a must!! Lamb burger was also super juicy & delish. We will be back for the kabobs!

Ela was amazing. The service and food were outstanding. The only issue was that it was VaHi restaurant week and with only 3 items on the menu - it was disappointing that the main item, the skewer, the restaurant was out of at 7p. But, it was our first time there and other than that we had a great time! Would highly recommend!

The food was excellent and the flavors encapsulated the Mediterranean inspiration with unique flavors. The staff was extremely well versed on the menu and was extremely attentive. I came here for my birthday and I was amazing. They had a signed birthday card of the staff and gave us free dessert. The cost was extremely good for the quality of the food.
