Beautiful, airy setting, super service, interesting wines , unique, enjoyable flavors. Faves: baba ghanoush and tender grilled octopus . Chameleon-like Canary Island rosé great with everything.
Get the Baba ghanoush , extra friend pita , the mushroom kebab - oh my it was delicious. Tasted like meat! And try the cauliflower and the butternut squash thing. Both fantastic as well .
A really beautiful + huge space serving delicious, authentic food. Favorites include: the baba ghanoush w fried pita , tomato & plum salad , grilled prawns , & the vanilla date crème brûlée for dessert !
Gorgeous and delicious! Great vibe. Loved the duck hummus , lamb neck schwarma , foie gras , beef tangine, oyster mushrooms , and grilled prawns . All amazing flavors and textures.
Buzzy scene. Food is awesome. Farm cheese , hummus , lamb schwarma , fried bread , prawns….everything was ace
The mushroom kabob is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. As is the baba ghanouj! As a vegetarian , I thought the food was fantastic and the staff makes you feel at home!
Everything was delicious! The lamb schwarma is excellent. All of the hummus and farm cheese . The salad was delicious. Seriously everything was amazing

#FabuLIST #DubiDO get the babaganoush , hummus , and cheese mezzes . Then the cauliflower , butternut squash flat bread , and prawns . DubiDONT get the cucumber and artichoke .
Space is, as la spaces are, quite expansive. Food was fine but not every dish was magically memorable. Order the mushrooms and the baba . Great wine list . Four stars. Would return but not rush back
liver pate and duck hummus and oyster mushroom and grilled prawns were ???? lamb neck was a lot
Lamb shawarma was amazing. Grilled prawns were sublime. Both desserts were excellent, with unusual, contrasting flavors.
Alert. The food is incredible here. Try the spreads, the lamb , and the octopus . Everything was top notch.
Good vibes, simply delicious food, awesome service, and a refreshing mixture of elegant interior and hip hop beats.
BABA GHANOUSHtunisian eggplant salad , pine nuts , herbs, fried pita , kashmiri lemon salt
Overrated. Had the lamb , the mushrooms , the scallops , and the babaganoush which was by far the best thing but then again you can make it at home or just get it at any middle eastern cafe .
Grilled prawns were my favorite, oyster mushroom kebab , strawberry pastry and rose chocolate donut
Food could be served out of a dirty garage and there would be a line , but it’s not, it’s a really beautiful spot with amazing music and service. 5/5.
The grilled prawns , lamb’s neck @ oyster mushroom kebab are delish
WHOLE TE MANA LAMB RACKgreen amba spiced, yogurt , tomatoes , purple daikon , tarragon
GRILLED CELERY ROOThoney mushroom tzatziki , brown butter , burnt harissa , soft herb
Great place for Middle Eastern food : chill spaces, savoury dishes and cool music .
OYSTER MUSHROOM KEBABlovage & avocado purée, sumac, meyer lemon , cilantro
Duck hummus , oyster mushroom skewers , and the wagyu oxtail tagone were delicious
Prawns , heirloom tomato salad and lamb neck !! Hottest restaurants in town
@chandavkl "One of LA's finest restaurants ". Slow roasted lamb neck . @joeancowitz It was amazing
Hummus and pita were great! Oyster mushroom kebabs too. Lamb Chops and Cauliflower were good - solid, but nothing extraordinary. Lamb flatbread was okay but too salty for my taste.
Run, don’t walk here! And get the babaganoush for sure!
Foie gras , duck hummus , prawns , lamb shawarma were all so good
Try the potato flat bread as well as the farm cheese????????
Baba Ghanoush , Prawns and Cauliflower .
Amazing. Hummus , quail , donuts .
Can select anything that’s not good. It’s awesome
Whatever you do, get the prawns !
The vegetarian starters!!

FYI They do not make ANY changes to the menu, chef’s decision bc of the risk of “integrity” of the food not bc they can’t, despite any allergies, no exceptions.
Oyster mushrooms !
The scallop crudo is really fantastic - save the broth and ask them to mix their mezcal in
La comida espectacular!
Red Snapper tagine was so good! They don’t accept resy’s but can accommodate you fairly quickly around the bar dining area. - Debs
get the Classic Döner meal with lightly fried pita strips & hummus - Gregg Hartling
The absolute best. Chocolate chip cookie dough cinnatopia combo was creamy, chunky, and delicious. - Lauren Mac
Best cocktails in town, so far. Check the menu, there is a cocktail for every mood and taste. - Bianca
The Affogato (vanilla ice cream with espresso poured over top) is soo good! - Kyle Chadwick
