    Beyti

    A little diner that turned out to be Turkish cuisine, family owned. Didn't know what to order, so upon the staff recommendation we had Beyti, chicken kebab, chicken wrap, and baklava. To our surprise, it was very filling and delicious. The home made chili sauce was awesome!!! The place is clean and service was great. I would give you guys a 4.8 score. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend it. Also there is parking on the side... Thank you so much for a very nice lunch.

    Came here on a late Sunday evening, surprised it was Still open despite arriving around 9:45/10pm. The waitress lead us to our seats and was very courteous. We got the the muma feast, and that thing can feed a group of 4. If you like Turkish food or Mediterranean food then this spot is for you Only downside is they served in foil tray as compared to like a large plate/platter as I recall 5years ago when I came here. The Turkish coffee came in a regular cup (not even a coffee cup but water cup with a sleeve), would recommend getting coffee cups as it keeps the heat inside and not making it difficult to hold for customer. Other than that good halal Turkish food in good part of La

    Had dinner last night here with my cousin, The place was empty .We asked the old man who was there if they are opened and he said yes so we sat in . He was rude to us and ignorant . We made our order and respectfully left our table to another group of older clients who stepped in ( one of them was using a walking stick ) as the table next to us was full of playing cards and other tables were way far in the front section for them to walk .we didn't wanted them to stand and wait until he clears the table . The food came in -to go - paper plates and with a plastic forks inside a plastic bags ! But why? We were dining in ! Food was average ( and salty ) . Baklava looked good in the tray so I decided to try it , Very disappointing the top was hard but the bottom layers were SUPER mushy , chewy and drowned in syrup.. When I checked in I've received a Yelp voucher for a free Turkish tea but the man said they don't have tea lol ! No one has visited our table after that . We waited to then went ourselves to the cashier to pay and the man behind the counter had a problem with his system. We waited for sometime then offered him to pay in cash , he said ok but didn't had a change for our $100. My cousin went out and tried to break it with no results. Non of his neighbors wanted to help . After almost an hour .. his son finally has shown up and was able to charge our card and we left! They didn't even said any kind word to us after all , on the contrary they had a weird attitude. Going there again? Hmmm Nah the area is full of a better options !

    Friends in from out of town, and one was from Turkey. He suggested this place. DO NOT make my initial mistake of seeing the cracked plastic of the menu pages, the very small size of the interior, or all the empty cooler cases, and thinking you'd be better off anywhere else. Seems they mostly do take-out. The food is plentiful and very delicious!! Everything is made fresh. Started with dolmas and some hummus/pita for the table. The dolmas was wonderfully moist - not dry. Hummus was excellent. I then had the lamb skewer - served on a bed of rice with a nice little side salad. All in a plastic to-go container. I'm not taking off points for any lack of presentation - you don't even notice it once you start eating. After that, even though we were all stuffed, we had to have the baklava. We had to wait a few minutes since a new batch was being made fresh. I learned that Turkish baklava generally used pistachios and had a sweet syrup (sugar water?) drizzled all over it, while the Greek version often used walnuts and was made with honey. This was definitely Turkish - perfectly flakey crust, warm from the oven, sweet and gooey. And a huge piece for each of us! The husband and wife running the place could not be more kind. They obviously love what they do. And my Turkish friend had a great time speaking to the husband in their native language. Ignore the divey atmosphere - this is perfect for foodies!

    Since I eat this food at home, I don't eat Mediterranean food from restaurants very often. As a result, a restaurant has to look pretty good in order for me to try it. Muma Kitchen definitely had that appeal, so I chose to meet a friend here for dinner. They have a little parking lot in the back with spots specifically for their customers, so parking was very easy. I ordered at the table they set up by the door and then had a seat outside. Our food came out pretty soon after. I went with the Veggie Plate since I wasn't feeling super hungry. Everything on it was delicious. My favorite part was definitely the eggplant dip. The woman working was so friendly and came to check on us very often. I will definitely be back!

    Hummus side
    Brittany K.

    I consider myself a kind and generous yelper, but I have to be honest and admit that I wasn't feeling this meal at all. And I was pretty hungry by time the meal was delivered so to be underwhelmed in a vicious state of hunger really says something coming from me. Anyways I ordered delivery via Grubhub so I can't comment about the service or condition of the restaurant itself. All of my feedback is based purely on the meal itself. I ordered the salmon kabob plate and the hummus. The salad was lightly dressed in an oil based something or other and wasn't bad but was definitely soggy. If I'd known they dressed the salad before serving it, I would have specified to leave the dressing on the side. The greens lost any crispness they may have had. Once the salad was cleared from the plate, I dug into the salmon. Again- not bad but not quite enjoyable. It was border-lining on dry and was under seasoned for sure. To keep my salmon company, I decided to get a side of hummus. The hummus was on par with everything else so far... fine. It was underwhelming. It was runny and the seasoning used wasn't my favorite blend. But what really bugged me about the side of hummus was the ONE sorry pita that they sent with it. Like, the hummus portion was quite generous which is nice. But ONE pita?! For like 8 ounces of hummus?! Every other Mediterranean restaurant practically sends ya a Halloween pillowcase portion of the stuff. It's the equivalent of Olive Garden bread sticks. Come on! I find a lot of fault with that. Unforgivable. Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't share the one redeeming quality this meal had to offer. The rice. It was honestly the best portion of rice I've ever had. The flavor was spot on and the addition of the beans was a nice and unexpected touch. I practically made a meal out of the rice since everything else was meh. If I could order several portions of just the rice, I would. Unfortunately though, I don't see myself making future orders or pit stops here. A side dish, no matter how good, doesn't warrant another order.

    What a fantastic meal we had here!…read more Felt like Mediterranean so decided to check out this place. First of all service was absolutely phenomenal. They want to ensure that you're having a great food experience. As for the food everything hit it out of the park! The Cretan Feta was potentially the most tasty appetizer I've ever had in all my life. The pita that came with it was freshly made when we ordered it and it was so soft and tasty. The feta itself was whipped perfection! They recommended drizzling their olive oil on it and what a game changer that was! Side note: they make their own olive oil! Apparently you can buy it on Amazon but we took some home direct from the restaurant. Back to the food - had their lamb chops (that came with perfectly cooked potatoes and veggies) and their meatballs. Both were outstanding. Finished it off with their baklava which was the perfect consistency and level of sweetness. The perfect end to our night. This is a small cute and perfect place to go with your girlfriends or on a date. Plenty of street parking (and we went at 6pm on a Wednesday). Will absolutely come back for their breakfast! Apparently they do brunch on Saturdays and Sundays!

    I went to this restaurant on a Sunday in the early evening with a friend. It was not crowded at…read moreall, which is great because it's a pretty small restaurant. We had a reservation, so it would have been fine anyway. The menu is super simple in the sense that it's not very descriptive and doesn't have a lot of words, but the servers are very nice and helpful. For example, I told the server that I had dietary restrictions, and I told them what they were. He took my menu and marked it up with what I could and could not eat and what could be turned vegan for me, which was super helpful. The food was also really good. My favorite dish was actually the crispy potatoes. I didn't expect the level of flavor that came on them. The cabbage was good as well. I've never had cabbage layered with flavor and infused with herbs like that, so that was cool. I've also never had crispy rice, so that was a good experience. We had ours without the egg yolk in it. The fish, which is listed as a yellowtail, was pretty good. The cauliflower was one of my favorites, along with the potatoes, and I like the olives. It was a nice touch as a quick appetizer while you wait for your food. The service was just really good. They were very accommodating and very patient, and the restaurant is very clean. The bathrooms are clean as well, so I would definitely come back here. I thought the vibe was welcoming and nice, and the quality of the food was delicious.

My favorite thing on the menu is the crispy rice. My only qualm is that they charge what they do simply because they can. I've accepted that the food and the prices don't match when I decide to go here. A $36 cabbage steak and a $24.00 artichoke feel hard to justify (the best wood-grilled artichoke is up the street for $15.00 at Little Dom's). I also frequent Kismet Rotisserie next door, which makes the pricing even more noticeable. My second favorite dish here is the braised half chicken leg, $36.00. It's delicious, but on my last visit I couldn't help thinking that I could walk 20 feet next door and get a whole chicken from the same people for $29.50. I think for $36.00 it should at least be half chicken and more lima-beans or something. That said, it's still a super cute spot for date night, dinner with friends, or even dining solo. I definitely recommend it, just go in knowing the prices are a little audacious.

It's best to make a reservation in advance if you plan to dine here as they are almost always fully at capacity. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. If the weather is not too hot, I recommend sitting outside. Our mistake was choosing the indoors because it gets awfully loud to the point where you can't even hear the server(s) or your own party speak. Truth be told that's the major factor in the minus 1 star as it negatively affected our overall dining experience. 1. Farm Cheese Spread (5/5) The farm cheese was super light and airy. It's seasoned with sumac/fig leaf za'atar, rose petal (mostly for decor than taste) and fresh rosemary. It's served with 2 slices of crispy edged, doughy centered, black sesame bread that's toasted to perfection. 2. Baba Ghanoush (5/5) This is a dip dish made of smoked eggplant, Jimmy Nardello peppers (adds sweetness and smoky flavor), fennel escabeche, dill and olive oil. It's served with sites of fried pita bread. The eggplant was perfectly savory from the grilled onions and non-spicy, smoky flavor of the peppers. The Pita bread is like a fried beignet donut in terms of flavor. Another enjoyable appetizer to share. 3. Oyster Mushroom Kebab (5/5) Amazing smokey, well-charred and juicy mushroom with a nice price tag attached to it, but still worth to enjoy. It's served with avocado-lovage puree and sumac, which paired well with the mushroom flavor. 4. Grilled Octopus (5/5): The octopus tentacles were cooked to perfection - soft & melts in your mouth. It's almost like eating a very soft rice cake with a hint of seafood flavor note. It's served with sides of skordalia potato puree, brocooli, lamb xo sauce and coated in dill to give it a slightly spicy and savory profile. 5. Slow-Roasted Lamb Neck Shawarma (4.5/5) Super tender lamb meat that's also very fatty. It's served with a side of basil-cilantro like sauce, pickled vegetables and tahini sauce which was super creamy and helped to cut the gaminess of the lamb. The dish also comes with a full size laffa bread, which was fresh (made in-house; you can literally see them making it in the background) and pillowy-soft to wrap the lamb meat in. 6. Cherry Sumac & Ricotta cheese pastry (4/5) We ended with a crispy Cherry jam tart. The puff pastry was flaky puff while the cherry jam was tart and sweet. It paired well with their ricotta cheese, which was light and airy and sprinkled with sumac. It also comes with a scoop of Pistachio ice cream that's subtly nutty and floral but was a bit too sweet for our liking. Overall, the food here was good, but the dining environment was too loud for our liking. This place is often compared to Bestia, which we prefer. Fun fact - Bavel and Bestia are owned by the same owners.
