ALA Mediterranean Grill & Mezzes

Outstanding quality and a fun neighborhood place for Mediterranean food. Try the Turkish wine and coffee, the lamb, and rice pudding. Dare I say a Turkish Delight?

Very impressed by the taste of food and friendly staff. This may be the best Mediterranean restaurant in the Bay Area! Not kidding!!!

Last night we had the chance to try out boutique style restaurant that opened recent year. I like to try different Turkish restaurants in different cities so we were eager to go there. First of all, this restaurant having been completely renovated, this turned into a beautiful cozy setting for warm get-togethers.
Second, food is hands down best food I’ve had in a while. Delicious Greek salads, mezzes (small shared portions) -especially hummus- and chicken kebab literally melting in your mouth are absolutely amazing.
I know the owners being local Alameda for over a decade and handcrafting the food, adds to the excellence of the food experience. Must go!

Wow!! Such delicious and fresh food!! Hands down my favorite Mediterranean in the East Bay. Everything was so juicy and perfectly seasoned. If you have never tried Turkish style cuisine, do yourself(and your taste buds) a favor and enjoy a meal here. They are new and have less reviews but the 4.9 star rating is well deserved.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of being their second customers during their soft opening. Truly a wonderful experience! The service was top notch, the owner was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the Lamb was the best I have ever had! I cannot wait to visit again, and will definitely be doing so in the near future.
