    Tiramisu
    Lynne A.

    Came here back in Feb for lunch but accidentally gave a 5 star review to a place down the street. I had the same thing today, the beef kabob with lentil soup starter, and my friend and I also had tiramasu. Service was a lot slower today but still friendly. The meat just wasn't as flavorful or tender S the last time. Lentil soup was yummy. Hot tea was nice with cloves the way I like it. Sure has changed since Feb, but was still decent. They do validate parking as well.

    Should have given it 3 stars but decided to be nice. Went there for lunch. Place looks huge, nice like they get they s*** done. Walked through the door nobody to greet me. Had to look around to see where to order from. Got to the cashier who was colder than a block of ice. "is this where I order?" "Yeah" word of advice - put a smile on your face and better interaction will avoid these poor stars. Didn't look like she was having a good day, but that's not customers' issue. Wanted a combo plate, they didn't have it. Place this big could not get beef and chicken together. Because $14 is not enough. Having said all that, chicken plate was good. Nice stage for entertainment.

    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.

The restaurant has a really homey feeling inside, with about four small tables that make it feel cozy and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. My partner and I ordered the chicken shish kebabs with mejadra rice, salad, and sumac fries. Everything was delicious! 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.

We did not really interact with anyone to order, as we had to order in a kiosk but they brought the food out to our table. The place itself had 3 tables indoors and a couple of tables outdoors!

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.

I got the schnitzel plate which came with rice, hummus, salad, pita bread, and mustard sauce. The mustard sauce really through me off since I was thinking more of toom sauce or tzatziki sauce. The rice had an odd taste, more on the bland side? However the pita was very hefty and pita pocket ready. The hummus was good with a few yellow chilies (super spicy). The schnitzel was hefty and huge portions almost like 5 pieces of chicken. With the portion size it's a decent price for it. Highly recommend trying out this new taste.
