About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions

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.

Had a really good experience here to celebrate my partner’s birthday. I requested for outdoor/patio seating two weeks in advance but unfortunately was still seated at a booth indoors due to a larger party reserving the entire patio that same evening. However, the service was excellent and the food was really well cooked. Everything tasted great and my favorite part was the Greek fro-yo; highly recommend. Would go here again!
