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.

Really enjoyed my visit here!…read more I came here in a Saturday night with a friend. Parking was relatively easy and we were able to find a spot near the restaurant. When we walked in, we were greeted by the staff and immediately sat at a table near the patio. We were able to meet the manager who was very kind and assisted us on our order for food and drink orders. For food, we ordered the French fries and the bread. The bread came out like a pizza and was really delicious. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. It was really pretty inside and we loved how chill it felt. It was a great night and I'll definitely be back.

The meat was dry and lacked seasoning, the rice was bland, and several dishes arrived barely warm. Nothing felt freshly prepared. The ingredients seemed low quality, and the presentation could not hide the fact that the food simply lacked flavor. Even basic items that are difficult to get wrong were forgettable. The menu looks impressive, but the actual food does not live up to the description. It feels like you're paying for the location and atmosphere rather than for quality cuisine. There are many Persian and Mediterranean restaurants in Los Angeles that serve far better food for the same price or less. Unfortunately, this was one of the most underwhelming meals I've had in a long time, and I would not return.

It's incredibly rare to find a restaurant that gets every one of those things right. Casa Madera is one of those rare places. My wife and I travel extensively and have been fortunate to dine at some of the most celebrated restaurants around the world. As food lovers and frequent travelers, we've learned that creating a truly memorable dining experience is about much more than what's on the plate. It's the energy, the people, the service, the attention to detail, and the feeling you have from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. Casa Madera executes every one of those elements flawlessly. The atmosphere is absolutely electric. Sophisticated without being pretentious, energetic without being overwhelming, and undeniably one of the sexiest restaurant environments we've experienced anywhere in the world. It's the kind of place where every table seems to be celebrating something, the music sets the perfect mood, and you find yourself wanting the evening to last just a little longer. The food is every bit as impressive as the setting. Beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and packed with flavor, every dish reflected the same commitment to excellence that's evident throughout the restaurant. The service was equally exceptional. Every interaction felt genuine, attentive, and perfectly timed. A special thank you to Simmie, the Operations and Guest Relations Manager, who took the time to personally ensure our evening was nothing short of extraordinary. Great managers don't just solve problems, they create experiences, and Simmie is clearly one of the reasons Casa Madera operates at such a remarkably high level. My wife and I have long been fans of Toca Madera, another outstanding restaurant in the group, so our expectations were already high. Somehow, Casa Madera exceeded them. In hospitality, perfection is almost impossible to achieve because there are so many moving parts. Yet somehow, Casa Madera makes it look effortless. From the cuisine and cocktails to the ambiance, service, management, and overall experience, they simply get everything right. We'll absolutely be back, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Casa Madera to anyone looking for one of the finest dining experiences Los Angeles has to offer.

Everything we ordered was outstanding--the Casa Guacamole, sea bass tacos, steak tacos, Caesar salad, Caesar Mexicana, street corn, truffle fries, and everything else we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Jungle Nectar cocktails were absolutely delicious (pictured!) and paired perfectly with the meal. The ambiance is upscale, vibrant, and perfect for a date night, celebration, or just an amazing dinner. The service was attentive, and the overall experience was top-notch from start to finish. If you're looking for a high-end Mexican-inspired restaurant with incredible food, craft cocktails, and a beautiful atmosphere, Casa Madera is definitely the place to go. We'll definitely be back!

Had fabulous drinks; the Oasis cocktail was refreshing and reminded us of Agua Fresca de Pepino. The Ambrosia. Fri j was my favorite!

They were eager to greet me as soon as I sat down at the bar. Great vibe going on for a Friday night; what started as moderately loud music does tend to vary decibels throughout the night. The live musician walking around with a Darbuka is fun. Food: portions are small and food is good. Value for quality and quantity isn't there but this is just my opinion. Can be a fun spot for large groups, just expect to pay a lot for not a whole lot. All the waiting staff was amazing and on their "top game".

I would give this place 10 Stars if possible!…read more A real hidden gem in Beverly hills and I would highly recommend going here! A very exclusive Brunch menu but everything was a major hit! HUMMUS MASBACHA 10/10 was so smooth! Really flavorful and everyone wanted more of this! This was a vegetarian option which came with some chickpeas and a boiled egg on top. Just a heads up in case you don't eat egg that you should ask to take it off. PITA BREAD - This game with the hummus and it was perfectly warm and toasted and soft on the inside and crispy and the outside and just a mind-blowing pita bread! CHARRED EGGPLANT 9/10 was really soft and had a mild sweet flavor. It was cold which I was a little surprised by, but it went well with the warm Pita that came with the hummus! Only reason I took off a point is because it felt a little oily and it was the only item that didn't get fully wiped off the plate. CAULIFLOWER FLORETS 10/10 So flavorful and I think this might have been the family's favorite on the menu because it just disappeared. BREAKFAST BURRITO with FALAFEL 11/10 My in-laws don't eat meat or egg and wanted a proper vegetarian item for breakfast and we asked to customerize the burrito by replacing the eggs and bacon with falafel. Father in the thought he would not eat any of the burrito but ended up actually finishing his half of it! The restaurant needs to add this as an item on the menu! SHAKSHUKA with MERGUEZ SAUSAGE 10/10 What are really delicious and hearty breakfast item here. Husband and I shared this one and it was really flavorful and a good portion size as well. Good amount of sausage in there that went with the egg and the tomato sauce. JERUSALEM BAGEL - 12/10 This game along with the shakshuka and I think everyone on the table wanted more of it! It was actually warm and so huge and had that perfect crisp outside and a really lovely flavor. Cannot say enough good stuff for this one. SHUK SALAD with CHICKEN BREAST 10/10 Just a simple and healthy salad here but I would highly let the money if you want to balance out some of the heavy items on the menu but still get some vegetables and protein in. We did not use any of the dressing.

What happened to Nua???…read more It used to be a hidden gem; a warm, welcoming restaurant with exceptional food, genuine family-like service, and generous, satisfying portions. All of that is gone. The food is unrecognizable. The Israeli breakfast looked like a sad box lunch. The shook salad was essentially a bowl of arugula with a few stray vegetables hiding somewhere inside. And the famous Hummus Masabaha, once a signature dish worth returning for, has been reduced to a small cup of garbanzo beans with a drizzle of olive oil and a single egg, at less than half the size it used to be. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone who remembers what it once was. Bring back the real Nua!

We started with the Zaa'tar Ma'noushe, recommended by our server, and it was the perfect way to kick off the meal. The Olive-Crusted Rack of Lamb my father-in-law ordered was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Two of us ordered the Half Chicken, which was incredibly crispy and paired beautifully with the accompanying sides. My sister-in-law's Dry-Aged Wagyu was rich, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. However, the true standout was my mother's Whole Daurade. The seasoning and bright pickled sauce elevated the dish and made it the star of the table. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the entire meal made for a memorable celebration.

The lights and ambiance are truly insane. I have never experienced anything like it. Let me backtrack too and say that I paid $14 for valet which tbh is not too bad considering I didn't have to worry about my car or anything so it was worth it. Okay the food. We got Parker rolls and the Mezze plate for the table. Wow, the Parker rolls were as you would expect. Buttery goodness. French butter as you know...top tier. Okay the Mezze plate? Every single sauce was so good. The little cous cous thing in the Mezze plate was so cute and yummy. Then the main dishes. Seven vegetable couscous was great. As a Moroccan, I can say it was a great vegetarian version of the dish. Has the staple veggies you look for in a cous cous. My friend got the vegan cauliflower steak and that was so beautiful and tasted delicious. It was a great dish for my vegan friend. Our waiter was so nice and really personable as well. From start to finish, he was there for us when we needed him and we really enjoyed our dining experience because of him. I forgot his name but he's a star. I have already recommended this place to others because it really was so incredible. I am so happy I got to come here.
