Came here after an event near Grand Central Market. The reviews were really good online, which piqued my interest. It's a pretty small, low key restaurant, and the only other person there seemed to be an aquaintance of the guy running the restaurant. The owner seemed to be very friendly, and he took our orders and got to work. I ordered a mixed plate, which came with their beef and chicken, rice, pita, soup, tahini, hummus, and a salad. I also grabbed a little box of baklava from the counter, but forgot to take a picture before I already ate one. The baklava was okay, seemed a bit stale and the flavor could've been better. As for the mixed plate, both the meats were a bit dry, but they had good flavor. The sauces added a lot as well, and they complimented the rice very well. The salad was fresh and bright, with a lovely dressing. The hummus was smooth and flavorful, and the soup had a lovely mix of flavors. The owner seemed quite proud of the soup as well, even offering a cup of it to my friend who didn't order the set that came with it. Overall, solid spot. If you're in the area craving halal food, you'll probably have a good time here.

11) Chicken Shawarma Plate and the 04) Lamb Kabob Wrap

THE FOOOOD IS SOOO GOOOD. Like the quality is fire and you can taste it. Super chill ambiance. Definitely a post concert meal!!! Went here post LA Historic Park to watch Chris Lake. Service is simple and great!

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, my experience was a bit of a letdown! I ordered the lamb kabob wrap and basbousa with honey online. When I arrived at the start of the pick-up window, they had not yet started preparing my order. Additionally, they gave me baklava instead of basbousa. I actually asked twice to confirm that it was the correct item, as I am fairly familiar with the desserts (my spouse is Egyptian-Palestinian, and our cat's name is Basbousa). However, I didn't want to be disrespectful in case I was misguided, so I didn't push a third time. Surely enough, when I got home, my spouse had a good laugh about it. That being said, the baklava was delicious! Unfortunately, I feel like my other order was wrong too.. The meat inside was not kabob meat but more so chunks of meat that were more stringy (see photos for comparison). I'm not sure what to make of it all!

Food was fairly priced, the staff was very on top of making sure we had everything we needed, the ambience was nice very family owned vibes and a prayer video was playing on the tv which was very calming. They make their own hot sauce too! And I was happy with my food very delicious:) I can speak on the chicken/ beef plate and the beef kabob wrap. Thanks again!

This friendly Jordanian restaurant stays open until 10pm. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma combo with fries and a canned soda. The sandwich was full of flavor and it came with a side of garlic sauce to add more flavor. The fries were perfectly crispy just the way I like them.

Happy National Shawarma Day! To celebrate, I had a shawarma, baklava and pineapple juice. I was told that the Shawarma featured a new recipe for garlic, and the garlic was the uncontested highlight. It paired perfectly with the pickles, and the chicken was floating in that delicious combination. The baklava was also outstanding, well portioned and a good honey rounded it off. Strongly recommend!

I've been living in Los Angeles for three years and I eat at restaurants almost every day, but honestly this place is on another level. The food here keeps bringing me back, especially the soup... it has a unique taste I haven't experienced anywhere except in Mauritania -- truly something special! What I also love is that this is a family-run restaurant. Everything is made with care and love, and you can really taste that in every dish. Honestly, this place deserves more than five stars I will definitely be a regular customer because you are the best Arabic restaurant in Los Angeles. Wishing you continued success read more

Best chicken shawarma joint in downtown LA. I Ordered two chicken shawarma sandwiches and fries. The sandwich was packed with flavor, the bread was soft and the garlic was delicious and very filling. I have not been this impressed with a shawarma joint in a while. I make my own shawarma so you can say I'm little picky. The service is great. You can tell it's family owned and they want to succeed. Please support this small neighborhood joint. Also if you're pressed on time call ahead, it did take about 15 mins to get my order. read more

I really wanted to like this place -- the service was friendly and the team seemed hardworking, but it looked like the restaurant was being run entirely by very young staff without much supervision. I love Mediterranean food, so I had high hopes, but a few things stood out. The rice had an odd taste, almost like it was cooked with old or stale water. The chicken kofta tasted more like lamb, and unfortunately, the tahini sauce we received was expired and even exploded when we opened it. On top of that, there was a noticeable musty smell in the dining area, like there might be mold in the ceiling. I'm sharing this with honesty because I think with better oversight and freshness checks, this place could really improve -- the friendliness is there, but the quality and environment need more attention. read more

Middle Eastern restaurant in downtown LA. I didn't realize this was the sister restaurant of…read moreBestia. Overall, I enjoyed every dish we got. I would consider reordering everything we got. Definitely on our list of restaurants to visit again when we're in the area. Ordered: - Hummus Duck 'Nduja - First off, we need to take a moment for the blistered pita. That stuff was soooooo yummy might be my favorite pita I ever consumed. Hummus was also good, nice balance of flavors that complimented each other well. - Grilled Octopus - Had a good amount of chew and wasn't too chewy. Dill flavor was a bit on the strong side but I don't mind it. - Potato Flatbread - Very light and also good. - Slow Roast Lamb Neck Shawarma - Soooo tender fell off the bone so nicely. My favorite dishes were the lamb neck shawarma and the blistered pita. Family style restaurant. We were recommended to order 2 spreads, 3 appetizers, and 1 entree for 3 people. We ended up doing 1 spread, 2 appetizers, and 1 entree and I'm very happy with our decision. We were soooo full after our meal. I think if we did the 2 spread and 3 appetizers as recommend we wouldn't be able to eat the entree at all. Seems like a really popular celebration restaurant (saw many graduations). We did make a reservation and I would recommend doing that. All tables were filled when we were there, not sure how the walk in situation is. Music is a bit loud inside the restaurant but I don't think it was as bad as Bestia. The outside patio was good though in my opinion. I didn't feel like i was yelling across the table to talk on the patio.

The food is still stellar - updating to state that the new-to-me-menu items (peach salad, smoked…read moretrout, chicken tagine and whole lamb rack) are all superb. The tagine in particular was a pleasant surprise; I almost never order chicken, I can cook it plenty fine at home. However: this dish was a revelation (the olives transform during the braise - so creamy/delicious). The only nit to pick: Bavel please change up the playlist; I enjoy Bad Bunny as much as the next person, but the same 4 songs were on repeat all night long.

We ordered the two-person combo, which was about $95 per person and included all the appetizers they recommended, plus two skewers each, with additional upcharges for certain protein choices like beef. On top of that, we each got drinks that were around $15-20 each, and after parking and a 20% tip, the final bill came out to roughly $350 for two people. I normally don't focus too much on pricing at restaurants, but the final bill on this one had me do a double glance. I get that you're in the LA Arts District and paying for the location and ambiance, but the pricing seems a bit excessive. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd honestly love to come back and bring friends because the restaurant itself is nice and the food was genuinely good. At the same time, I do feel like I can get similar quality food in a similar comfortable environment for a fraction of the price.

What a great kick off! As for our mains, we both ordered a variation of the combo plates. I had the chicken tawook and beef. The Mrs. had the chicken and lamb. All good. Based on the food alone, we would recommend this place to anyone with a beating heart and more importantly, a mouth. This is quality food at a quality price. The atmosphere? Really great. It's a little dark and twinkly inside which sets a nice tone. There is cool artwork adorning every piece of wall, the place is very easy on the eyes...including the restrooms. Very clean. Our sever, didn't catch his name, but what a nice dude. Was super helpful without being "too much" he should teach a server class. He's pretty much who you want taking care of your table. He knew the menu well and made great suggestions. It was actually refreshing. We will come back, most likely with the family. Our waiter told us that they can accommodate larger groups which is great. I recently ate food at Saffy's and I didn't enjoy it one bit. The servings there are too small, too pretentious and too overpriced. Open Sesame is the exact opposite and that's why it rules. A wonderful experience in Beverly Boulevard.

How Do I Start This Rationally ? Atmosphere Is A 5/5. Service Is 5/5. Food was 2.5/5. I Will…read moreExplain. If You A Charging $145 For A Group Platter, Then Everything Must Me PERFECT ! The Chicken Shawarma Was Inedible Because Is Was Obviously Dry And Lying Around For The Next Customer. The Beef Was Good. The Beef Shawarma Was AMAZING ! Probably The Best Thing. On The Menu. Tabouli Was Great. $260 With Tip Divided By Three Is Too Expensive For My First Experience Here. I Told The Manager That They Shouldn't Have Served The Chicken Shawarma If It Was Dry. Anyways.

The quality of the ingredients are very high at this restaraunt, they could have been a bit more generous with the meat on the fries but im not taking that away from the overall flavor bomb that were these fries. Service is at a Window, you get a buzzer for when it's ready, exterior eating area with umbrellas by the sidewalk and on the side of the restaurant. We ended up parking on the street as there is no dedicated parking lot. Give em a try! They have loads of great Mediterranean options here.

Carousel is hands down the best Mediterranean spot. I've been coming here for years and it never…read moredisappoints. Their arayes are a must -- it's basically like a lahmajun with two pieces pressed together, and it's insanely good. I usually go all in and order the tabbouleh, babaganoush, a pound of lula kebab, and shish kebab. Honestly, if you're with 2+ people (or even just really hungry), ordering by the pound with sides is way better value than getting individual plates. You get more variety and it just feels like the right way to eat here. Every now and then I'll switch it up and get the liver plate -- it comes with tons of greens and onions, and when you wrap everything in their fresh pita, it's incredible. Not an everyday order, but when you're in the mood for it, it hits. If you dine in, the indoor decor is super nice and really gives that authentic Mediterranean vibe. They also play a lot of 90s music, which somehow fits perfectly and adds to the whole experience. I've dined in plenty of times and the service is always solid -- staff is friendly and attentive. Just a heads up, food can take a little longer sometimes, but that's because they're always busy and everything is made fresh, so it's worth the wait. I've also done takeout here more times than I can count -- probably over 100 orders at this point -- which says everything. This is easily one of my go-to spots and I keep coming back for a reason.

The food was okay, nothing extraordinary, but decent. Unfortunately, the service was, without…read moreexaggeration, one of the worst I've ever experienced in my life. From the moment we arrived, the vibe felt off. The host who seated us (who later turned out to also be a server) left us at the table, and no one approached us for about 10 minutes. When a server finally came over, the first thing she said was "Ready? Ready?", no greeting, no welcome, nothing. We were never brought water. I had to ask a busser for it because the server walked past our table multiple times, clearly saw us, and chose to ignore us. The food runner was also rude, he dropped the plates on the table without saying a single word. Throughout the entire meal, no one checked on us. No "How is everything?" No "Do you need anything?" Nothing at all. Meanwhile, we noticed that nearby tables were being greeted, checked on, and treated kindly. When we asked for the check, the server literally threw it on the table without saying a word. The experience was so bad that we decided not to leave a tip; Something we never do, especially since we truly value good service and I personally work in the restaurant industry. I don't know if the treatment had anything to do with how we looked or how we were dressed, but I've never felt so ignored and uncomfortable in a restaurant before. The food may be fine, but the service completely ruins the experience. I would not return or recommend this place.

Out server Emily was a delight. So friendly and accommodating (and thanks again for the Baklava!) We had the lamb shwarma plate and the fried chicken plate, both with hummus. Also a side of the Za'atar/sumac fries. Fries came out first PIPING hot, crispy, seasoned perfectly nom nom. The entrees quickly followed. The lamb was so tender and juicy and bursting with flavor. And the fried chicken was AMAZING. Shwarma that is breaded with an amazing mixture and fried. Genius! The plates also came with hummus topped with whole chickpeas (YUM), dilled rice, a cabbage salad and other greens, grilled pita bread, olives and my personal favorite, pickled radishes. Many reviews describe them as beets (which I also love) but these are radishes and they pair so well with the rich meat. An umami bomb! Portions HUGE (we have a full meal waiting in the fridge) and prices very reasonable. Patio is a very fun hang with pretty lights. My only knock is on the chairs which are not exactly "comfy." But that's a trivial issue. Service was attentive and staff so friendly and helpful. I can't remember Emily's colleague's name but shout out to her and her Rasputin's shirt (yay Berkeley vibes.) She was great. We will definitely be back at Dune soon!

I almost always go for the hummus meze platter which comes with hummus, rice, salad, pita, falafel, and your choice of protein. I usually get the fried chicken which is crispy on the outside and moist inside. I also like to order a side of fries to share. They come out nice and crispy and are topped with sumac which gives them a really nice flavor. One thing to note is that seating is all outdoors, so if it's cold just bring a jacket. Overall I like this place a lot and I'll definitely keep coming back.

The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

The drink wasn't sweet at all which I didn't expect, but it wasn't a bad thing. I wouldn't make any adjustments next time. The matcha was astringent, bitter, and umami. I did taste some slight graininess, but nothing too bad. I think they prepare the matcha as a paste then add it to the top of the milk. I've never seen other places prepare their drinks like this before! Overall, it was a solid drink for an decent price.
