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.

    Omgggg I cannot say enough about Ela. The food amazingggg… from the hummus to the lamb skewers and lamb burger…. Celebrated fiancé bday and they gave him a bday card with all their signatures plus dessert… it was so thoughtful… the drinks were amazing… had the capri son and he had the rise and fall. Cannot wait to go back. The manager came over personally and welcomed us. Everything was perfect! It’s our new favorite restaurant!

    This was our first time at Ela and we were extremely happy with all the dishes we had! The brunch menu offered a lot of dishes not just breakfast. The fish sandwich and fries were especially delicious. Coffee and donuts were a perfect end to a great meal. We will definitely be back (with friends). Ela is on our go to Atlanta restaurant list.

    Always a great experience. It was a Friday night, so it got a little loud! They were having a busy night.

    The food, service and vibe were all outstanding! I only took three photos because we dove right into the Lamb Belly and the brunch French Toast because they looked so good and forgot to take pics. So good! We’re excited about returning for more!

    The flavors were unique and captivating. We love Mediterranean food and Ela ticked all the boxes. Customer service was on point from the time we checked in to the time we got to the parking lot. We had plans after dinner but contemplated cancelling them just to stay at Ela the rest of the night.
