We just ordered takeout after a week in Paris where we had eaten some amazing falafel in the Marais - and I was craving more. It was delicious!!! We tried the falafel pitas which were perfect - and this spot will definitely enter my weekly takeout rotation moving forward. Note - my husband found it a bit too spicy - they def have spice/kick! read more

Decent food no more than that Fresh salad Kinda of slow service Sometimes the chicken tastes old read more

Ahhhhh I can't believe I haven't written a review for this spot, I've been here at least 5-6 times now. When in Sherman oaks this has become one of my go-to spots for flavorful Mediterranean food. My must-order items are the hummus, Brussels sprouts, Moroccan fried chicken, rice, and of course the pita you absolutely have to get the pita. I've also tried the watermelon salad, which was excellent, though I think it's seasonal. The fried cauliflower, however, is a hard pass for me. Something about the Brussels sprouts here is next-level, they're honestly some of the most flavorful I've ever had in my life. I could easily eat the whole dish myself. I also love that many items come as small plates, which makes them perfect for sharing. The Moroccan fried chicken is another standout it is super flavorful and pairs perfectly with the rice, hummus, and pita. Now, the service is where this place falls short. The last few times I've visited, the experience hasn't been great. The older blonde woman with very short hair has been particularly unpleasant, and when I visited the week before Thanksgiving, the overall service was especially bad. They have parking in the back and it's shared with other businesses and it is a paid parking so you pay at the little parking kiosk. Even with the inconsistent service, the food keeps me coming back. All in all, Mizlala is a great place for delicious dishes, and I would still recommend it just be prepared for service that can be hit or miss. read more

Really really good spot. The Moroccan fried chicken is unique and delicious -- definitely try it if you like fried chicken at all. The appetizer we got was good too, but the Moroccan fried chicken was the star of the meal. The service is friendly and welcoming as well. The location is a bit tough to get to parking-wise, but you can park in the neighborhood nearby and walk across the street read more

Omg I've lived in this area for years and discovered this gem! Super affordable and out of this world flavor! I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend the Lamb with onion shawarma and sweet pudding with ice cream for dessert! Great ambiance too read more

Pretty solid Mediterranean food! I had the chicken shwarma plate - food was fresh and portion sizes were generous. The plate comes with your main dish, hummus, pita, side of fried egg plant, and choice of salad, soup, or rice. The pita felt as if it was made in a stone oven and was super fluffy. I felt really full and satisfied with my meal afterwards! read more

This branch of Mizlala is in a quiet corner of Sherman Oaks. As you walk beneath hanging basket lamps and plants, the sounds of 70s grooves provides a welcoming entrance. This amazing Mediterranean cuisine offers chicken in delectable grilled, shawarma, and Moroccan fried variants. Pargiyot Chicken: Before your plate arrives, you receive a dish of pickled pink turnips, cucumbers, olives, and spiced cabbage. The grilled chicken thighs are cooked to tender perfection. They seem to ooze with juice and flavor in every bite. A slab of crispy, fried, paprika-dusted eggplant goes well with the tangy dill arugula salad. My favorite part of this feast is the pita bread, which arrives in a towel covered basket. The pita is warm, thick as a deflated football, and so fluffy and soft. Tear off chunks of it and dip it in the stellar hummus topped with olive oil, lemon, and creamy tahini. To top it off, you also get rice, salad, or soup. Parking: There's a lot in the back, accessible by Dickens Street. There's also plenty of street parking near Whole Foods. read more

This place has never stood out every time I drove by until one day it did and then I hadn't been able to stop thinking about it. Headed home one night when I know I didn't have groceries so I decided to pop in.. There is a parking lot in the back that is shared with all the other restaurants . I ordered the chicken Shawarma plate that came with hummus, a side salad, order Jerusalem salad as a side, super fluffy, pita, and this crispy eggplant thing that is now one of my new favorite things in the world . The chicken Shawarma was served on top of chilies and onions, which I wasn't expecting, but it was all delicious. The chicken had such great flavor.. The crispy eggplant is one of my new favorite things. I could've had like 10 more, and I used it to pile all my food on. The hummus is absolutely delightful, it was so incredibly creamy . The side salad and the Jerusalem salad added pops of freshness . And the pita was beyond fluffy . They serve complementary pickles when you sit down, and they were also delicious, and I surprised he really liked the cabbage. I can't remember what it was seasoned with.. This was also a great value. I got this whole plate for less than $22 I think. read more

Mizlala is in the sweet spot for casual Mediterranean food. The seasonings and cookery far exceeds the corner kebab shop and really reminds me of a neighborhood version of Bavel. While we were in the area, we ordered takeout from Mizlala - Sherman Oaks. They have an online ordering option on the website, which was easy. We picked up the Chicken Pargiyot salad, the Chicken Shewarma plate, Moroccan Fried Chicken, and Hen of the Wood Mushrooms. Absolutely everything was so fresh - from the herbs and the salad to the freshly grilled meats. In general, the food was seasoned pretty aggressively. Combined with the multiple condiments per plate (aioli! special salt), it was always a lot going on, in a good way. The meal felt very special, as if a lot thought had been put into the recipes and the end result reflected the care. read more

Wow guys- what happened? This is my people's food and over the last year this place went from gentrified Middle Eastern food to just a flat out downright horrible mockery of the cuisine. Entire pitas swimming in "herbs" that don't traditionally come on pitas. Enough Amba to make the sandwich drip. Squishy, cold/tough to chew in the middle falafel. Flavorless pargiyot. Dry Merguez. The list goes on and on. My husband is Moroccan/Israeli and he was also mortified by his pita as well- taking out more than half of the pita's contents just by removing the non-traditional herbs. For being stationed in an area where thousands of us Middle Easterners live and thrive we used to put up with this gentrified nonsense due to the pricing- but now it's not even worth that. I've got an entire pita I've tossed in the garbage it was sooo bad. read more

Mizlala - Pita in the trash - Middle Eastern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Mizlala in Van Nuys completely lived up to the hype. I ordered the falafels and a side of the fried eggplant, and both were incredible. The falafels were crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside--easily some of the best I've had ever. Not dry, not bland, just perfectly done. The fried eggplant was simple but flavorful. It had that perfect balance of crispy edges and soft center, and paired so well with the sauces. The space is casual but stylish, and the service was quick and friendly. Portions are generous, everything tasted super fresh, and I left already planning what I'd try next. If you're even remotely in the area, Mizlala is 100% worth checking out. read more

I LOVE this place. The food is always great. It has never disappointed. The potion sizes are big (when you get a plate option), and it tastes wonderful. I can get busy quickly, and it can get loud, but you'll see all walks of life in here. I totally recommend as a hidden small business. read more

What happened to this place? I came here with my family and ordered a bunch of dishes. Everything was insanely off, either too much spice, or none at all. the chicken for example had so much smoke flavor that it was impossible to eat. The beef and lamb sausages, again, extremely spicy to point where I could not taste any flavor. Overall the quality has gone down, and I'll stay away from this place. Such a shame, because at the beginning it was delicious. read more

Great hidden gem of Mediterranean food. Staff was fast to greet me and have me seated. Started with the complementary pickled veggies which were great. Ordered the broccoli with caper aioli, Brussels sprouts, sumac fries, salmon kabob with Majadra. Flavors were great, food was fresh. Do be sure to try all the dipping sauces including The Amba (Pickled Mango). Wasn't too loud even thought the restaurant was packed. Note: parking in the rear lot can be a bit scarce during the dinner rush. read more

A hidden little spot in Sherman oaks, perfect for take out or a quick meal in a homey setting. Affordable prices, large sized plates, and yummy food! Brussels: crispy and flavorful Kefta plate: comes with beef/lamb patties cooked to ~medium rare/medium, a crispy eggplant, salad, and your choice of mixed rice/lentil soup/Jerusalem salad. Served with hot, fluffy pitas. I got the lentil soup and it was great. My friends love their rice. Looked like all choices would've been yummy. The plates were about $20, and it was such great value. It could easily be 1.5meals. Overall, homey vibes and delicious food. read more

Found this place by chance and I'm so glad I did as this is one of my go to places in Sherman Oaks. Every single dish I've ordered has been phenomenal. Service is great.

Nailed the Preparation and Flavors of authentic Mediterranean Middle Eastern cuisine. from the Pita itself to the Shewarma turning on the spit, and the small plates of pickled veggies - it all comes together! The place is located almost by the entrance to the freeway so keep in my to find the entrance to the parking lot though the ally in the back, one street parallel behind. Or street parking across the way from the front entrance. Casual and pleasant setting, with nice background music. Server was very kind and polite and had the patience to make sure I understood each dish and how it's served. read more

Let me start by saying the food is excellent, and if you are looking for good Mediterranean take out, then Mizlala is a solid choice. However this review is for a dine-in experience, and there is definitely room for improvement in the dining room. There is a pay lot behind the restaurant, and it is a bit confusing because there is a valet there for a neighboring restaurant, and it isn't really clear what spaces are self park, and which are reserved for valet, I ended up parking on Sepulveda, across from the restaurant, but a short walk. The decor is charming, but dated, and a bit dingy. The tabletop was sticky. The server was nice, but seemed a bit overwhelmed. The kitchen made a mistake with one of our appetizers, but it was quickly corrected and they let us keep the incorrect item at no charge. As others have mentioned, the servers aren't too attentive here, you have to be vocal to get their attention. When we were visibly done with our meal it took about 15 minutes to flag down a server for the check. All that said; the food is outstanding, and a great value, so that offsets a lot of the negatives of the dining room experience. The shawarma is fantastic, as is the fried chicken. The bourekas is really good, as is the watermelon salad. The Jerusalem salad is delicious, everything was wonderful and we were stuffed with 2 bags of leftovers when we left. They have wine and beer, plus lemonade, hibiscus tea, and tahini shakes. read more

Such a gem in Sherman Oaks! I hadn't been to Mizlala in years back when they had a much bigger menu, so it was fun to come back and see how it's evolved. Even with the more streamlined options now, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic and super warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. You can tell the staff really cares about creating a great experience. Every dish was full of bold, fresh flavors and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous, and the ingredients tasted high-quality and well-balanced. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Still one of the best Mediterranean spots in the Valley! read more

I've Postmated delicious food from here for years now, & have loved every bite. Today we came for lunch in person for the first time, to have some things we always order & try new things. We were shocked that in person, the food is even better! Spanakopita gnocchi - chewy gnocchi, spinach, fresh dill, feta, & almond slices make each bite amazing. Fish plate - super fresh chunks of salmon, their amazing herb salad, Jerusalem salad, their velvety hummus, a slab of lightly battered crispy eggplant, & their super fresh, hot, fluffy pita. Kefta plate - a hearty helping of delicious lamb & beef patties, served with the same delicious things as the salmon. Baklava - omg the best - cinnamony, nutty, topped with whole pistachios, & lightly sweet with a subtle orange blossom flavor. I do love the ease of Postmates, & all their food travels really well. But dining in person, you really see how steaming hot & fluffy the fresh pillowy pita is. Service is warm & it's good to know there is parking in their lot in the back. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be back! read more

I'm so disappointed. I really wanted to love this place. I was looking forward to it for weeks. We finally went. we ordered Shawarma schnitzel paragiot peta. The hummus was very good and so was the pita bread. the lentil soup had too much lemon All the dishes could have been fantastic, but they seasoned it too much to the point where it's incredibly salty The eggplant that is served on the side of all the dishes look like they just put all seasoning bottle and spread it on top after they cooked it. too salty. Too many flavors happening at once. Sorry. I really wanted to love this place read more

Food delicious customer service amazing... well worth the price orders are done in minutes I love to walk in and feel appreciated by staff

I placed an order through Uber Eats and the restaurant canceled it almost 45 minutes after I originally placed it. Approximately the time my family would've been eating. Completely unacceptable. Order at your own risk! read more

One of my favorite restaurants. The food is just really yummy. I love to eat vegetarian, though I'm not a strict vegetarian. Their crispy broccoli and their Brussels sprouts, are delicious. The non-veg me loves their Moroccan fried chicken. I have never seen hen of the woods mushrooms before but they were really good. read more

I've come here for years - a great local spot. Skip the steak and focus on falafel, chicken kebab or chicken shawarma are my top picks. They usually give you a yummy bowl of pickled vegetables when you eat-in. You can also order them if you order pick-up. The Moroccan fried chicken is the star of the appetizers followed by the broccoli and brussel sprouts. You pretty much can't miss. It's a cute spot to enjoy with friends or family. I went big and got a chocolate almond tahini shake. Just as delicious as it looks. Tastes like a chocolate milkshake. read more

Ordered takeout here and it had been awhile. The last time or two, the dishes were not consistent so took a break. Glad to be back as this last experience was as good as we remember. Still sad that some items from their previous menu have disappeared but there is still plenty to love. We had: lamb merguez pita chicken shawarma pita chicken parygot pita hen of the woods cauliflower broccolli hummus tzatziki baba ghanoush The pitas were HUGE and absolutely stuffed with meat, herbs, pickles. SO MUCH FLAVOR. The vegetable dishes SHINE with intricate sauces that match each one. Although they are pricey relative to the sandwiches, they take technique and time and are not to be missed. The smoke, char and layers of flavor they achieve on all of their food is something of a WONDER. Orders are consistently accurate and ready when promised. Th only room for improvement is that they takeout containers seep and leak over time. Not sure if they are an environmentally friendly material (if so, BRAVO), but they are not as practical for their sauce-heavy vegetable dishes. Hoping they look into this. Support this wonderful restaurant in this part of the Valley. It is a GEM and we are so lucky to have it. read more

I've gone back a couple times since my original review, and happy to say it's been excellent every time. Sometimes the service is a little odd, but never actively bad, and I'm here for the food which is always top-notch. Get the halva shake. It's ridiculously good. read more

We had a very pleasant evening with excellent food. We tried five different items and they were all good I particularly enjoyed a chicken grilled on the charcoal. Excellent. Even the fries isn't with the dust of sumac we really fun All the staff was caring and prompt in their service. read more

First off parking is in back of the Resturant what you think is a driveway to the left is a wheelchair ramp not a driveway. Entry is off Dickens. The Resturant is informal. We had several items. The dried chicken is great I had a lamb and beef switch is spicy along with a soup which had Harrisa . The pita is excellent. We also had a chicken which was moist. Plates are served with Cilantro and a lite dressing. The food is reasonable plates are about 15 dollars. They do have wine and beer Serves was fast and the perfect spot after a long day. read more

Mizlala - Chicken, rice - Middle Eastern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came back here in person and like folks say, it's definitely more of a takeout place as we were the only ones, granted we were there at 5pm on a Friday. Two of us shared: - The chicken Schwarma salad: I would get the salad which has such a nice assortment of different flavors and herbs; all of their vegetable/salad sides are so refreshing. However, the chicken itself I thought was not as tender as I'm used to - maybe I'm spoiled by the schwarma in NYC. - the falafel plate: falafels came out hot, but the exterior was a bit more hard than I like the falafels to be. The plate itself seems to have downgraded, since you have to pick a side of rice, soup, or salad, whereas the plate used to come with all 3 last time I ordered. I ordered the rice again, which I liked the most last time. It comes with pita as well, and the waitress was super nice and offered a 2nd one, seeing my friend. The hummus is chalkier than most and could have more flavor, but the tahina sauce under the falafel was really refreshing with the herb garnish that they have with it. The fried eggplant slice was actually my favorite thing out of the entire meal. - the Moroccan fried chicken was decent. I don't think it deserve the hype it receives, but it's a good fried chicken, and the harissa aioli and the apricot mustard it comes with are interesting sauces to try it with. - Ordered a glass of the pinot grigio, which has more flavor than most of that varietal. All in all, I think Mizlala does their sides/veggies better than the actual entrees. read more

Miz La La made me feel like I was in the streets of Israel eating! The food blew my taste buds it was very ethnic and flavorful. I truly enjoyed it and highly recommend you try this spot if you like Mediterranean. The chicken and house sauces use curry. Homemade salad dressing I truly appreciated. These people are very generous and not cheap with their portions and supplies to go. Tahini sauce smoothest I ever had and I have tried plenty of Mediterranean spots. Plus the name is cool! Looks like they have 3 locations and it's no wonder they are successful. Food is amazing!! read more
