A few of my girlfriends decided to try this place out for a GNO. To start the valet is $20 otherwise street parking is available. Upon entering...the vibes are everything. It feels as though you're transported to TULUM. The service was okay. Nothing extraordinary and not bad. We weren't too hungry so decided to order a few appetizers and get a Hookah. Everything was good but my absolute favorite was the afagato night cap. There was a dj playing hits and even a live singer at parts of the night. Their items are on the higher price for example a hookah was $60, lemonade was $19. In addition they do charge $18% service charge on top of the bill. Overall, it was a lovely evening and my friends and I left happy to have spent the evening in good company. read more

Oleg was a great and very friendly. Loved the Napoleon pastry and tea was delicious. It's a fun place.

We had an amazing first experience here, the shisha (hookah) was so good!! The DJ is insanely talented, the vibes are great. One of the best places to go out in LA, that's also chill. Last but not least Oleh was our really great server who made us feel welcomed!! read more

I'm not giving this place 5 stars mainly because of the valet situation and the drinks. When we pulled up, there was no valet sign or stand, just two very young guys in regular clothes, which felt a bit sketchy and confusing. We actually drove around twice because we couldn't tell if valet was even available until we finally called the restaurant. The drinks were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, they didn't taste great and seemed light on the alcohol. Now for the positives, our server was amazing! I wish I caught her name, but she was incredibly sweet and attentive. The hookah was a highlight thanks to Constantine, who set us up with a great one that didn't burn and stayed on top of the coals all night. The ambiance and vibes were top-notch definitely a unique scene with a solid DJ that kept the energy going. I'd rate the food about a 6/10, not the best I've had, but definitely not bad either. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised overall, especially since I came in with low expectations based on some of the Yelp reviews. The shrimp risotto was my favorite! read more

Kaif is easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in LA. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is super inviting--modern, stylish, but still comfortable and not overly pretentious. The food is where they really shine. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell they put a lot of thought into both the ingredients and execution. The portions were solid, and everything came out fresh and well-timed. Oleg was also top-tier. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and they were great at giving recommendations. Perfect spot whether you're going for a date night or just want a quality dinner with friends. Definitely one of those places you'll want to come back to. read more

Delicious food, AMAZING live music! Totally recommend! I came with a party of 6, and we all had a blast! The ambiance is very tropical! Like a Tulum/Cancun vibe! There was a live band that we didn't even realize was live. The woman's voice was everything! As for service, our server was super accommodating and helpful with the menu when we had questions! He also gave great drink recommendations to substitute for drinks that weren't on the menu. Now let's talk food. We started off with the fried shrimp, calamari with octopus, and edamame! The Calamari was perfect, edamame was good, but it's hard to mess that up. I will admit the fried shrimp was fried a bit too hard. For entrees, we got a variety and took bites from other friends! I personally got the lamb chops and the lobster mac and cheese. It was DELECTABLE! THE LAMB CHOPS were so flavorful! I was worried about the lobster mac and cheese at first because the lobster is shredded throughout, versus being in chunks like I'm used to, but it was DELICIOUS! Friends got a combination of the salmon, shrimp risotto, and steak! I took bites of each, amazed with every dish! For dessert, I got the warm mini cheesecake! The texture of the cheesecake was perfect, however I think we were given sour cream instead of whipped cream. That clashed with the raspberry, but I think it was a mistake. Will definitely be coming back! The restaurant gives the vibe that you're on vacation! There is hookah available at the outdoor booths for those who want to indulge. We also noticed a couple of cabanas, which I'll probably reserve for next time! read more

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The management was completely unprofessional, and the overall quality and service were awful. I absolutely would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Food was super pricey and sub par. Honey cake was stale. Music and service was good. Not worth the drive.

Check your bill carefully--we were significantly overcharged and had to return after leaving just to get a refund. I've recommended this place to many people in the past, but I've noticed it's been going downhill the last few times I've visited. We really wanted to love it; the atmosphere is great and the DJ was fantastic--he even played an instrument while DJing, which was a highlight of the night. However, the billing and service were a total nightmare. When we first arrived, we asked for hookah. The waitress said she would send the "hookah expert" over to our table, but they never showed up and the request was completely ignored. It set the tone for a very disorganized night. For dinner, we ordered the eggplant salad, dumplings, scallops, and beef kabobs. For two people, our bill came to a staggering $248, which was nearly double what it should have been. The bill was brought out on an iPad, which made it difficult to see the items listed. We weren't even shown an itemized breakdown until we specifically asked about the caviar cones, which we never ordered. Even though the waitress took them back to the kitchen earlier, they were still left on the tab. When I questioned the total, I was told the caviar wasn't on there, only to find out later that it actually was. We had already paid and left before realizing the math was still wildly off. We had to inconveniently drive back just to triple-check the bill, and only then did we get a refund of nearly $100--which still didn't cover the full discrepancy. On top of the errors, a mandatory gratuity was sneakily applied to the bill without any disclosure on the menu. Because this charge was quietly tucked away in the subtotal, we unknowingly added an additional tip on top of the one they already took. It's a deceptive practice that feels like a disguised fee rather than transparent service. The food was equally disappointing. The server raved about the dumplings, but we both found them flavorless and "just ok," and the scallops were tiny. She also pushed the beef kabob, claiming it was the "best she's ever had." We specifically mentioned we are Middle Eastern and know the cuisine, yet what arrived was just steak cut into chunks, not an actual kabob. Despite her recommendations, she only stopped by once and never asked for feedback. This follows a previous visit where I was brought the wrong beer twice; I only caught the first mistake because I was familiar enough with the bottle to recognize it wasn't the right one, and the second time they brought a cider after I specifically asked for "no cider." (This happened after I had written my previous review after our server asked us to in order to get a free cheesecake.) The music and vibe are great, but don't rely on the staff's word--insist on seeing an itemized receipt before you pay. The lack of transparency and the inconvenience of having to return to fix their "mistakes" is a major red flag. read more

Yea this place is legit. I got the beef kebab with potato gratin. The steak was incredible. My friend got the shrimp risotto and I tried that and it was very tasty. The hookah is on point. The ambiance is awesome. Live DJ came in at 9pm. Tons of beautiful people in there. Servers were good. read more

We waited for one hour and half, we asked for a booth and we still didn't get it. They definitely have their preference because the people after us got the booth!! They also messed up on our order and when we asked to be corrected and the kitchen was closed smh never again!!!!!!! Don't recommend at allllll !!!! The girl in the front is super rude!!!!!! 0/10 read more

We made dinner reservations for my best friend's birthday and we really enjoyed the service and food. They allowed us to come in and bring balloons and decorate the table we sat at. We brought a birthday cake and they stored it for us and brought it out for us when we were ready to sing. Our birthday girl was so happy and surprised. For starters, I had the calamari and when I tell you that it was seasoned to perfection, I am not exaggerating!! For my main course, I ordered the Salmon with veggies and cherries. It was cooked perfectly and the flavor was to die for. Their drinks were also very good. They have hookah and a very nice patio outside with a live violinist playing great tunes. please make sure that you reserve the hookah in advance because it does get booked. We had dinner inside and then moved out to the patio when a table opened. I must say that the vibes were great and I would absolutely return. read more
