Ela

Ela is a Mediterranean restaurant on North Highland Avenue blending Greek, Turkish, and Middle Eastern influences into dishes like a lamb smash burger, za’atar salmon, and a sprawling mezze board. The stylish interior and shaded patio make it a go-to for both happy hour and date-night dinner, with a weekend brunch that draws crowds. Complimentary private-lot parking is a neighborhood rarity that adds to its appeal.
