Habayit Restaurant - Kosher Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love motto ball and falafel ! They only open until 4 so it's worth the planning !! It's the only kosher place on my way .I love to stop by there before the GROVE . read more

We came from Israel and we couldn't feel more at home like at habayit restaurant!!! Great food great service will come back every time. read more

It was in. I prefer my falafel sandwich with salad as well as cucumber salad but maybe that's not "authentic". It was good, just not amazing. I prefer more filling less wrap. I'd return, advise you to try it, but not go out of my way to go back. Prefer Hungry Pocket up the street close to SMC. Though that's Lebanese and not Israeli and I think the proprietor may have retired. It's still good, still imo better than this but it's possible there are sauces you could add to this to make it tastier... read more

This great place is small, so slow down or you will miss it. It is ever so cute inside. It has fun art that my grandson loves. It is super clean and just a fun place to go. It is Israeli food, but also quite American as well. It has a wonderful Mediterranean flare. All of their food is Kosher, which is always nice and all of it is just great. The menu is not huge, but it does not need to be. They have something for everyone. We love the service. Some of the servers have been there awhile and they know everything and if you are looking for other Kosher places or even a Temple if you are a visitor, they have you covered. The servers are always smiling and are great with kids. It is super family friendly. We love all their food, but a must have is their Matza Ball soup. It is perfection from the soup to the Matza Ball. You can get it in a cup or bowl. We have been here a few times over the years, sometimes for breakfast and other times for lunch. Their Shakshukah is a great way to start your morning. It is a wonderful breakfast item. It comes with eggs and salad with a great home made tomato sauce. They also have just eggs if you want. For lunch we love the Israeli Vegetables Salad, which has Finely cut assorted vegetables with lemon dressing, tomatoes and cucumber. It is the bomb. If you want to be daring, get their combination salad, which is a combination of all their salads. It is so good. Their Humus is great and has a wonderful lemon juice and olive oil. All of their Pita sandwiches are tasty as well. Another favorite is their grilled salmon. It is cooked perfectly and you will love the fresh flavor. There is not one thing not to like here, so go and have fun and relax. read more

Wow! I was craving matzo ball soup and this place came up and then everything else sounded SO good so I also ordered falafel and pita and wow... the matzo ball soup was delicious but it was also the best falafel I've ever had and the pita was insanely fluff... and the green spicy sauce it came with was the best. I will definitely be ordering again! read more

Habayit Restaurant - Falafel Plate - Kosher Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Overpriced and unprofessional. I ordered the Grill Combination, and it was completely burnt. For these prices, serving overcooked, tasteless meat is unacceptable. To make matters worse, there was no service to speak of, and an employee was using a dining table as a personal office, spreading paperwork everywhere while people were trying to eat. Extremely unprofessional atmosphere. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

The service at Habayit is what really makes this place special. Everyone treats you like family the moment you walk in. They're warm, patient, and actually happy to explain dishes or make recommendations. Our server kept checking in without being pushy, and the food came out fast but never felt rushed. You can feel the pride in the way they take care of guests. It's old-school hospitality in the best way. read more

Best falafel sandwich I've ever had! You can taste how fresh it is, perfectly crispy on the outside and moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious on the inside. The owner was incredibly sweet and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Habayit Restaurant - Falafel - Kosher Near Me - Los Angeles, California

5 stars - A Hidden Gem You'll Want to Keep All to Yourself! If you're craving authentic Israeli comfort food, Habayit is where it's at. Tucked away in West LA, this cozy little spot serves up some of the best Middle Eastern dishes I've had outside of Tel Aviv. The schnitzel? Perfectly golden and crispy. The hummus? Creamy, dreamy, and totally addictive. And don't even get me started on the kubbeh soup rich, hearty, and full of soul. Everything here tastes homemade, like it was cooked with love (because it probably was). The staff are warm, welcoming, and happy to walk you through the menu if it's your first time. Pro tip: Come hungry and save room for dessert. Trust me. This place is low-key, no-frills, and absolutely worth it. 10/10 would recommend--and return. Again and again. read more

I must have DoorDash-ed this place 20 times thus far. The food is wonderful and the portions are large. I've eaten falafel all over the world. Habayit's ranks right up there in excellence. One thing about falafel, however, is that is doesn't travel very well. If you don't eat it as it just comes out of the oil and take it home or have it delivered, it's just not very good. But this place has a secret: it's the only falafel I've ever experienced that travels wonderfully. I highly recommend it for take-out or delivery. But the star attraction at Habayit's is it's chicken soup. It's expensive as hell but worth every penny. Truth be told, it's an elixir on a par with my late, great grandmother's. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. read more

Really disappointed in this place. Ordered falafel sandwich and fries. Falafel was burnt and nasty. Lettuce was soggy and pickles werent fresh. Fries were greasy and undercooked. Disgusting! read more

Habayit Restaurant - Kosher Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Extremely speedy pickup service. Like within 10 minutes type of speedy. The food is phenomenal Israeli classics like schnitzel and kabob. The flavors were awesome The place is a literal hole in the wall in a plaza corner so don't miss it! read more

Love this small neighborhood spot. Hours of operation are a bit tricky. Good service, Great falafel.

Excellent service makes up for disappointing soup. Going to try some other items since the owners are super nice and everyone has an off day now and again. And, maybe my grandma's chicken soup is totally different and I am just used to what I grew up with. read more

Habayit (pronounced Ha ba yeet, meaning "The House" in Hebrew)) serves authentic, outstanding Israeli food--what people think of as "Greek" but with my favorite flavors of foods such as falafel, baba ghanoush, hummus, salat--made with fresh vegetables--and endless, fluffy, warm pita bread. As a vegetarian, I was in heaven. My spouse had matzah ball soup with tender, shredded chicken to make a wholesome meal, and the guests we brought (a family from China who were down for an eating adventure) enjoyed the spicy meatballs. We stayed until close to closing time, but the server was friendly and patient with our ongoing ordering, and the chef kept the comida coming. We devoured everything we ordered. I'll definitely be going back to Habayit whenever I'm in L.A. read more

Bad food, extremely average quality food. Overpriced and rude waiters and staff. Small overcrowded space.

Well, for starters, the food isn't Israeli or Jewish, it's Lebanese. But in addition to that, the service was slow and the shawarma was dry. read more

we had our second return here and I ordered some Matzo Ball Soup and Schitzel in which it was slamming good. Packed with lots of good Kosher chicken, and the rice here is delicious. Have such a nice family vibe of food here. Always a pleasure to visit again. read more

They did a very nice job for my kosher guests. I will use them in the future. Ordered through yelp/ grub hub, food came in a very timely manner. read more

Food is delicious and truly tastes like homemade. Friendly service and casual atmosphere. Usually do takeout here. If you want down-to-earth food that is tasty, this is your place. read more

Went there for lunch with my friend. Ordered shawarma in a pita... Got dry pita with pan fried chicken pieces (salt and pepper) no shawarma seasoning and a bit of salad... no hummus nothing else... don't know how they can even call this shawarma pita.., this is the worst pita I've ever had!!! My friend ordered Kabob I. Pita - got 2 small kabobs and bit if salad dry just like my pita... no hummus no nothing- will never go back there again. read more

We just love Habayit food. Best falafel balls in Los Angeles (and we've tried most), fantastic falafel plate, amazing Sabich, great shakshukah. Love the hummus, love the tehina. Schug to die for, fluffy pitas. Always fresh and delicious. We order from them several times a month. No one else compares. Attentive and prompt service, nice people. read more

Super delicious and fresh food. Their falafel is without a doubt the BEST in L.A. Love their grilled schnitzel and matzo ball soup too. The staff is very fast, friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!!! read more

Great kosher food with an Israeli twist. I recommend it even if you don't keep kosher. Fun tip for non-Hebrew speakers. The restaurant name is Hebrew for The House. read more

Was craving a matzo ball soup. Looked at reviews and this one looked promising so I checked it out. The matzo ball was flavorful as was the soup. The teen kid that took my order (I'm assuming owners son?) was such a sweetheart. Adorable and polite. Great food and service to boot! read more

Great authentic home style Kosher food. Family owned and operated. The food is always amazing. Gladly would return and highly recommend to anyone that appreciates good Mediterranean food. Take out and delivery available to make things better. read more

Habayit Restaurant - Grilled chicken breast in a pita bread and salad - Kosher Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been waiting to visit LA to try this spot for a long time. We had the kebab sandwich, falafel sandwich and hot dog sandwich for my boys. Everything was fresh and delicious. The young man who served us was very pleasant. The dining area is small, it seems to be more of a take out place. I hope to come back again before we go read more

Habayit Restaurant - Kebab sandwich - Kosher Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Some of the best Israeli food I've had outside of Israel. Food was fresh, service was great. Highly recommend!

I was craving for a good middle eastern food... I looked for a kosher place in the west side of LA and habayit popped out right away... I ordered the beef kebab... it was so juicy, fresh and delicious. The owner gave a couple of falafel to try on the house... no words can describe!!!!! Thank you habayit... I will be back very soon! read more

Habayit Restaurant - People annoying a great meal...!!! - Kosher Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Having tried the majority of mediterranean food on the Westside, Habayit is my #1 choice for sandwiches (goodbye Bay Cities). The falafel sandwich is a well executed classic. Everything tastes so fresh I would have thought they had a garden in the back. As someone who is picky about falafel, Habayit does it right. The outside has the right crispness while the inside tastes fresh - not dry at all. For an adventurous vegetarian option, I recommend the Sabih which is a mixed of hard boiled eggs, fried eggplant, hummus and veggies. A light yet energizing option that hits the spot. I always opt for extra pickles which are a myriad of pickled vegetables, and would buy them by the jar if possible read more

This is the best Mediterranean place on the west side and kosher doesn't get much better than that. The daughter and father combo make the best kebab falafel balls and have the fluffiest pita. Everything is amazing you can't go wrong. I love this place wish they're hours were a bit longer, but hey that's my only criticism, not too bad. B read more

We wanted to like this place so bad based on the reviews... but it's completely over priced and mediocre. Absolute robbery. The best part is their pita bread. Otherwise, the $25 underwhelming grilled chicken schnitzel was burnt, dry and had no flavor, and the $16 "large" matzoh ball soup is by all standards small, comes with one tiny matzoh ball and the soup was full of little chicken bones. I'm sitting here wondering what the hell just cost us $90. Super disappointing. read more

Habayit Restaurant - $16 for the "large" soup? Total rip off. It's tiny and comes with one small matzoh ball. - Kosher Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Had never heard of this place but ordered on Grubhub and the matzoh ball soup and hummus were incredible. Will definitely go there in person soon. read more

The BEST Matzo Ball Soup! Every time I get sick, my husband picks this up for me and it's like a miracle - Feeling so much better the very next day. It tastes absolutely delicious and has so much flavor. The staff is really nice and I love that it's on the Westside. read more

Tried and true, never misses. When we had to go to the ER for an unexpected medical emergency on NYE, we were craving comfort food after the ordeal. Not only were they open but they had food ready for us in 10 min. That post-ER matzah ball soup turned the whole day around. read more

Unfortunately, the proprietors have elected to use a hechsher that is far from universally accepted, leaving many observant Jews unable to eat here. There is no judgment whatsoever of anyone who chooses to eat here; just suggesting you ask your local Orthodox (or Conservative) rabbi first. read more

Love the falafel amazing food will be back again if you like good kosher food and great service go there yami

Service- Decent but that's about as much as I can say about it. The Place- pretty small and they did not have the air conditioning on the day I was there and it was pretty hot. Food- I had the Combination Salad and it was pretty good. Parking- Can be challenging as the parking lot is small and shares with other businesses. I have to find parking in the neighborhood and walk over. read more

Their location off an unassuming area of Pico Blvd., in a sleepy strip mall, is still unassuming. The food on repeat visits tho... hasn't matched up to the first visit's mind-blowingly good beef kebab. In particular the grill combo plate was pricey and decidedly underwhelming. Consistency is the hallmark that's difficult to achieve for a lot of places, and as superb as Habayit is capable of being, they aren't always on their A-game. 3.5 stars, but I will round up. read more
