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.

    Sorry to say that I do not see how eater atlanta decided that this place was new restaurant of the year. So many better restaurants were available for restaurant of the year.

    Great date night place. There are several cozy small high tables in the bar area that are energetic but also far enough away from others that you aren't up in someone business and vice a versa. The food is so delicious and much of the menu is perfect for sharing. We has the hummus trio and ordered crudite on the side, then split a couple kabobs over a plate of cous cous.

    The hummus appetizer was delicious as was my lamb burger. Too much sugar in the Brussel sprouts. Salad was not anything special. Spinach-feta hand pie was amazing. Service was spot on.

    We had such a great time celebrating a birthday with a large group! The staff were extra accommodating in making sure we were the most comfortable. Service was truly incredible. We felt that Nick was the most charming and professional server we have had somewhere in a long time. He was knowledgable and easy to talk to. The cocktails came out quickly and the food arrived hot and delicious. We sorta passed some things around and had a bit of everything so it’s definitely shareable. Donuts are a must! Will definitely be back many times I’m sure.
