Al's Good Food

We had such an amazing time at ALA Mediterranean Grill. We were sitting at their outdoor patio it was super cozy space. Kids had wonderful time. Food and service was amazing!! Highly recommend it!!

Can’t say enough great things about this place. Food was seasoned and cooked to perfection and the staff was as attentive yet not over bearing. Highly recommend for a date night out or even a business dinner. Will be back

The food, service, and atmosphere were perfectly delicious!🤤 We had a party of 13 on a Saturday night, and the service was top notch our food arrived timely, hot, and delicious. You know the food is good when the table goes silent until the food is finished! I’ll be back and recommend it to others

Food is worth to try! We’ll definitely go back for hummus and pita. Serving time isn’t so long when we visited 5:30pm weekday

We were seated promptly. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Appetizers came out quickly and were very tasty. We had the chicken and lamb kabobs. Both cooked perfectly.

The plan was to go to a different restaurant but it was closed. Quickly searched for something nearby and decided to visit Ala Mediterranean. I decided to have Karniyarik w/ side rice and man, the dish was something very unique and never had anything like that. It was outstanding!

Great place to eat with some co-worker friends! The owners gave excellent suggestions. Got the Trio appetizer and Lamb skewers - all flavors were fantastic! Was so enthralled, forgot to take pics. Now at dessert and baklava and rice pudding is excellent!! Love the atmosphere!

The menu at Ala never disappoints. I tried almost half of the menu to taste everything they have. I still have other half to try. Last night’s delight was Manti and Istanbul trio plus Mucver. All were made to perfection felt like in Istanbul.

Giving it a 5-star only because I can’t give 6. Best Turkish food I’ve had outside of Turkey. The chef / owner Serkan Yilmaz’s attention to detail is impeccable. We had the butcher kofte, “imam fainted”, lamb kebab and a couple of appetizers and they were all perfect. It was almost closing time so had to skip desserts but will be back for those. Prices are very reasonable for the high quality. Unfortunately I don’t live nearby otherwise I’d be eating here at least once a week.

Daniel and his staff were absolutely amazing to us, they were very attentive and celebrated my birthday with their delicious food and dessert. The salmon was wonderful, the fish was moist, fresh and the sauce was fabulous! Thank you so much for the great experience! Can’t wait to go back!

Delicious, unpretentious, and home style cooking. The lamb was mouth watering! We ate outside and the heaters were perfect in their back patio. They were a coma dating and friendly. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Support your hometown businesses and keep our downtowns vibrant! This was my second visit; the first being soon after they opened. They've really upped their game! The decor is soothing yet interesting, and they have a nice outdoor space in the back. This time I was grabbing take out dinner, and it was delicious. I'd never had a lamb burger before, and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. It was juicy and flavorful, on a sweet bun with delicious slaw and tangy yogurt. Really good!

Love this place - the food, the owners and staff, the atmosphere - good, friendly, delicious, great family owned local spot. But this is what motivated me to leave a review. I went in last night with a hankering for lamb kebab. As I'm chatting with the guy at the register he starts telling me about the daily special. Another guy comes out from the kitchen, says the same. Chef's kiss they say, it's their new favorite dish. Thin sliced filet beef, marinated in soy and (something else), cooked to perfection. It sounded so amazing, but I really wanted the lamb so I stuck with my order. While I'm waiting, they came out with a sample. OMG. SO. GOOD. Perfect marinade, the meat perfectly cooked and just melts in your mouth. I will never not regret changing my order - the lamb kebab was great and exactly what I was craving when I walked in, but that little sample of the beef dish - OMG. Highly recommend everything on their menu - beet salad, hummus, kebabs, kofte, baklava. But if they start hyping the daily special, trust me on this, GO FOR IT!!!

Phenomenal place to go out! Service was friendly, nice atmosphere, and the food is fantastic. I'm writing this review to highlight the great service and experience. I ordered the Ala Burger - a few minutes later, a server came by and let me know they were out of buns and asked if they could substitute pita bread which was fine by me. It tasted great and at the end of the meal, they comp'd some baklava due to being out of buns. It was a pleasant surprise and I'm impressed by the service. The baklava was great as well! Would highly recommend!

This is my favorite local restaurant. The food is always terrific. But I'm writing to rave about their catering! They did the food for a non-profit event I organized a few weeks ago for 70 people. They provided just the right amount of food, for exactly the budget we set. It was ready in time. Everyone loved it. I was very happy I brought some of their cards to hand out. Thanks!! I only wish I had taken some photos to include!

We have been 4 times for dinner service. Each experience has been incredible. The food is excellent. We are working our way through the menu. Hummus is outstanding!!

Delicious food, will return to try more dishes. Service was excellent. Prices are very reasonable too. Loved the decor.

Wonderful Mediterranean restaurant serving the Alameda west side. It’s a very friendly local place with wonderful decor. The outside patio is accommodating and you will not want to leave. The menu is well priced with lots of choices. Try the beet salad for an appetizer and the lamb kebab as an entree. You will not be disappointed. Definitely will visit again to try the rest of the menu.

This place is very nice. Came here around 5pm, for dinner service (when they open) on a weekday, not busy at all. Street parking was easy, and a dollar an hour, free after 6pm and there's a parking lot behind the building. First visit, and while the atmosphere and service are great, food is very tasty, I felt a little like it wasn't worthy of 5* but maybe 4.5. If you enjoy this type of food, definitely try this place and the lamb kebab was excellent. Food was cooked and seasoned very good, portion might be a bit lacking probably for some, overall I say that it's a good value and the dining experience was really enjoyable.

We chose this establishment based on its reviews, but unfortunately, we were slightly disappointed with the service. Throughout our visit, we had to remind the staff a few times that our party needed attention. However, the food was excellent, although the prices were high. Despite this, it was still worth it. Our dining experience for three people totaled over $200, including appetizers and wine. I highly recommend trying the Istanbul Trio, falafel, and lamb kebab as main courses. The house Cabernet Sauvignon was also enjoyable. The service was lacking, and the staff's attire could have been sharper; they seemed like they had just stepped in from the street. On Thursday night, the restaurant ran out of baklava. Towards the end of our meal, a strong smell of smoke emanated from the kitchen, forcing us to leave quickly as our clothes began to absorb the odor. Overall, I would recommend giving it a try, but perhaps only once.
