It was actually very subtle and so creamy. Romano bean tempura - does it count as a vegetable if it's fried? Flavor was good, texture was surprisingly good. Also toddler approved! Grilled prawns - well cooked! I don't usually like Harissa but I didn't find it over powering. I HATE when shrimp is overcooked but this was just right. Chicken Tangine - this was probably my least favorite. It was tasty but it didn't have any of the complex flavor profiles the other dishes did Lamb Neck - hands down the best dish. So tender, well flavored, and I liked the accompaniments even more. I would've preferred the l pita come on the side vs soaked in sauce but I'm just grasping at straws at this point.

And boy did I love our group dinner here. Every course, every shared plate was absolutely outstanding with the highlights being the various breads, flatbreads, steak and lamb. I also loved the mushroom kabob and grilled octopus. The service was on point and the sommelier was extremely helpful with off menu wine choices including a Cannonau from Sardinia that was so good we bought (and drank) a second bottle. The restaurant is cool and lovely inside, the outside patio looked like a good space too. Valet parking is $13 but there is plenty of street parking too. Outstanding quintessential LA restaurant!!! Highly recommended!

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.

Tender, boldly seasoned chicken that stays moist and flavorful in every bite. Fluffy basmati rice topped with saffron, fire roasted vegetables that actually taste fire roasted, and a grilled tomato that melts into the rice beautifully. The hummus is smooth and rich, the pink garlic sauce is bright and addictive, and the fresh salad with lemon ties everything together. Every detail feels intentional and homemade. Even the bathroom is impeccably clean, which says everything about the pride they take in this place. I was in the area for training, just eight minutes away, decided to give it a shot and was not disappointed. If you are anywhere near this part of town, come to this spot. I highly recommend it. The service beyond amazing. Thank you

There are so many different kebabs to choose from, and I've yet to have one that wasn't delicious. My personal favorites are the steak and the chicken--both are incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. One thing you absolutely cannot skip is the edamame hummus. I had never even heard of edamame hummus before coming here, and now I can't believe I went so long without trying it. It was smooth, fresh, and full of flavor while putting such a unique twist on traditional hummus. It's one of those dishes that completely changes your expectations and has you thinking about it long after you've left the restaurant. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Everyone made us feel genuinely welcome, and the atmosphere was warm, relaxing, and perfect whether you're grabbing a casual lunch or having dinner with friends or family. The menu is packed with so many dishes that I still want to try, which just gives me another reason to keep coming back.

It's very cute with a garden'y feel. Wonderful for summer nights, but the flies and random gnats are OVERLY annoying while eating. They do not have inside seating. Service was lovely and they even made wine suggestions with my meal. Parking is potentially an issue, as the restaurant is in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Be aware of street signs.
