The pronunciation "wah-lah" is the French word voila(vwah-LAH). It is used to mean "here" and is used to call attention or express satisfaction, as a slang term similar to "ta da". The colloquial pronunciation usually misses the V sound.

"Voila" is used to call attention to or express satisfaction over something.

Example: "Then you add onions and tomatoes to it and, voila!, you have a delicious Pizza!"

In Arabic, walla (والله) is an idiom that means "I swear to God". Many Arabs will use this idiom even outside of Arabic, i.e. Walla, I told him not to do it!
