In most such places, there is always something available off menu and the chefs are good at making something simple. When I informed the waiter that I was vegetarian, he said.. very snootily "oh you are one of those people, I am not sure what we can do". I should have walked out right then, but I did not want to offend the hosts or make a scene. If you like to be served by snooty wait staff go for it. My colleagues said the food was good, I will take their word on it. The ambience was great. "Vegetarian sides" were meh!!!

This is the kind of place everyone should experience at least once. The atmosphere, service, and food are all top tier. It will always be one of my go to spots for brunch.

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.

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.

The…read morerestaurant is not huge so it was a bit cramped in there because I think there were four groups that day. It was definitely bustling with energy and good vibes. The waiter took a little bit of time to get to us, I think, because it was so busy. Once he took our order, he was super attentive and on top of it and the food started coming out really quickly. Now they will tell you that the dishes are tapas style but as you can see from the pictures, they're actually maybe two to three times what tapas style really is. Just be mindful of that. I ordered four dishes thinking that it was going to be small plates and it actually turned out to be like regular-sized plates of food. I definitely ended up taking a bunch of stuff home. However every single thing that I ordered was really good and that was the hard part because I wanted to eat all of it but I also didn't want to be a fatty especially in front of new people. My most favorite dish was the broccoli. It was so well flavored and perfectly cooked. My next favorite dish was the oyster mushroom dish. I thought it was going to be oyster mushroom kebabs but it actually turned out to be like an oyster mushroom flatbread. The oyster mushroom was seasoned so well that it actually looked like meat and had to use a flashlight to really look closely at it. When I bit into it it was definitely an oyster mushroom and tasted so good. My next favorite dish was the beets. I got it without the cream. I also got the broccoli without the dairy as well. The beets were really fresh and delicious. I also got the bread, which I didn't expect to be as good as it was especially with that garlic oil that was so good. The bread was fresh and warm so I would definitely get that again. My least favorite dish is actually the sea bass. That's not to say that it was nasty or anything but I feel like the skin could have been crispier throughout. The skin was only crispy on the thinner end of the fish and not really on the wider end of the fish. The sea bass wasn't really well flavored in my opinion. The corn and the shishito peppers were definitely a really nice touch to the dish so I appreciated that. I also really liked that it had those tomatoes in there. All in all I would definitely come back here. I also learned that there's multiple locations so I would definitely try out one of those. I was just very well pleased with my experience.

I got the Moroccan cigars ($14) for myself, and she got the seabass ($19). My fave was the Moroccan cigars. It was basically like a spring roll with lamb and chicken inside. The side sauce was too spicy for me though. I also enjoyed the kale salad - super refreshing. The oyster mushroom dish was interesting - the spices covered the mushroom taste, so it kinda tasted like chewy chicken. The sabich was also interesting - there was a hard boiled egg, eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes on top of a pita. It was fun to try these different dishes and different flavors. Service was quite slow despite the restaurant not seeming to be super busy.

Tear off some pita, scoop up some of the dips, and embrace the delicious small bites. Stuffed Squash and Eggplant: You can get either squash or eggplant, or both. I prefer the squash. The zucchini is firm, just soft enough, but still with the perfect amount of structure. It has been hollowed out and stuffed with ingredients similar to a dolma (stuffed grape leaf). The filling of rice and ground beef is soft. The eggplant is much softer. They are cooked in a tomato sauce and served with a cool creamy yogurt. Babaganouj: This mezze is a roasted eggplant dip. The eggplant is mashed with tahini and lemon juice for a smoky and slightly bitter flavor. It's smooth, creamy, and a bit chunky. Parking: There's a little lot to the side. There's also metered street parking on Westwood Blvd.
