I would give Mazal 6/5 stars if I could!!!…read more This food is phenomenal! The Moroccan carrots and hummus are true true standouts. The mushroom shawarma was also absolutely delicious. Also, I think that was the best pita bread I've ever had, period. We also tried the borekas, and they were perfect little bites to begin. We were celebrating my co-worker/mentee's birthday, and they brought her a yummy birthday dessert as well. And we split a great bottle of wine. Mazal is an unsuspecting beautiful experience. We found street parking but we couldn't find the actual restaurant because I just assumed the building was an apartment building. Once we finally walked through the door, inside is so lovely. I LOVE their bar countertop. We sat outside which has great vibes for summer. Cute lighting, all the works. I want to sincerely thank them for a wonderful birthday dinner for my friend. And for the superior service we received. Very warm and inviting. I can't hype up the service here enough. And we accidentally stayed significantly after closing without realizing it because we were tucked in a corner and lost in our conversation so we didn't even see the time, but we were never rushed out the door (to other diners - please do not be like us, I am so sorry we stayed so late without realizing the restaurant had closed, *yes there was another straggling table next to us who were still there as well so that's why we didn't realize the time*) again, so sorry, and thank you for being so accommodating still!

The service was top notch - attentive, friendly, & quick - all without being around too much. The potato bourekas were little puffs of heaven. The pita was so beautifully fluffy (I didn't even know it could *be* like that!!!), and the vegan labneh plate is last-meal-on-earth-worthy. I still daydream about it, & it's already been 9 days since my visit!

We were in the Glassell Park area craving Mediterranean food, so we decided to stop by Kabob Bowl…read more It was almost closing time, but the man in charge of taking orders was kind enough to let us sit down and enjoy our meal. We ordered the chicken kebab and chicken lule, and both were delicious. The portions were generous, and the prices were very affordable compared to other Greek and Mediterranean restaurants in the area. Spacious and clean. In a shared parking lot.

The folks behind the counter were so helpful in helping us choose our meals which were well portioned and they wee so friendly! All in all, if you're looking for a casual bite of middle eastern food - this is a great option. Plenty of free parking and a nice, easy, tasty experience.

They have ample free parking on site and curbside delivery from the MIXT Salad Valet™. I have driven past by this spot for years but never got the chance until now. I like their breadth of vegan food items on their menu as well as customize-make your own. Its interior was chic, naturally well lit, neat and clean. Furthermore, its layout is spacious with high ceiling and few wall art decor over their large white walls. I was ebulliently greeted by a female staff with gentle eyes. After perusing the MIXT menu, I ordered a fresh lemonade and BBQ bowl which is composed of cilantro, brown rice, black beans, apple fennel slaw, cheddar, roasted potatoes, and crispy onions. Food was tasty, fresh and delightful. Drink was refreshing. Service was spot on. Staff were cordial. Atmosphere was chill. Prices were economically competitive. Food serving was abundant. Overall, this is a good place for vegans or anyone who wants to eat healthy food. I enjoyed it a lot. I recommend MIXT.

Strap in, this place is a full experience. I had posted about it and so many people hit me up…read moresaying they've always wanted to try it and live nearby. After going, I get the hype. We started with those super delicate pani puri style poppers. I've seen them on MasterClass and always wanted to try them, so finally getting them here was a moment. Filled with tandoori flavors, chutneys, mint, and a yogurt center that pops in your mouth. So good. Cocktails paired perfectly too. The pickle one and the Purple Rain were both solid gin drinks. Service was great. The bartender and server were both super knowledgeable and helped guide us through everything, which made a big difference with a menu like this. The ambience is beautiful. Big bar in the back, great lighting, a mix of natural and more moody tones that make it feel elevated but still comfortable. For mains, the pot pies are a must. We tried the biryani and the butter chicken versions, completely different but both worth it. Portions are huge, you will have leftovers. The quesadilla with fajita peppers and tandoori chicken was such a cool fusion idea and worked really well. The boneless truffle chicken had this creamy, almost alfredo style sauce with Indian spices that made it super unique. Ended with the saffron noodle pistachio ice cream dessert and that was unlike anything I've had before. Definitely something you try at least once. This is one of those spots where everything feels creative and intentional. I'll definitely be back.

I tried the papusa and the rainbow taco platter. Each of the tacos was absolutely wonderful and paired well with the salsa. I loved how fresh the ginger tasted in the B & H smoothie.

I've tried various Indian restaurants living in LA the past decade, but this is the spot for any…read morecook-free night we have. It is our comfort place. We've been going here for years. Their grocery store has everything you could want in terms of Indian ingredient selection, but the restaurant goes crazy- amazing food. They are under new management now so they're no longer called "India sweets and spices" but they are somehow even better. I've always had a hard time with spicy food and when we used to go in, they would tell us "they're all spicy" (referring to the curry) - and sometimes I'd get lucky and have less spicy curry, and other times I'd have to add a lot of yoghurt. But now they have actual mild options which means we're going there twice as often. The samosas are great (can be spicy too so always ask), the garlic naan is incredible, and if it hasn't changed, you can ask for poori instead of flatbread. The staff is super friendly and hospitality is unmatched. If you come in on Holi they sometimes have a bowl of bright powder for you to bless yourself or your friends with. Genuinely love this place. Always amazing Indian music videos playing inside too.

It took all of my willpower to not purchase the dark chocolate covered McVitties Digestive Biscuits from the UK, they really are wonderful and happy to see them in stock with many other British favorites. I also passed on the hot prepared foods, Spice District has installed dining booths, so I look forward to coming back and dining in.

Plant-it, I'm glad I planned it!…read more A full trip to cool burger joint in Downtown Los Angeles, located inside the Corporation Food Hall off Spring Street between 7th and 8th street, but much closer to 7th. You can spot PiB directly to the left of the main entrance by the exit door. Their veggie friendly menu consists of vegan and vegetarian options as well as classic options. It's burgers, sandwiches, wings, impossible nuggets, melts, fries, mac n' cheese, loaded fries (including vegan), salads, and other cool things. I went with a classic The Plant-It Burger (vegan style), Sweet Potato Fries and some water. As well as some choice dipping sauce options - you can enjoy the tree island sauce, tome of fire sauce and/or the vegan ranch sauce for instances if you're plant-based. Signature sauces feature spicy ketchup, bbq, bbq ranch, habanero aioli and in-house dressing. For dessert they offer a banana white chocolate bread pudding or a vegan flan that is on my list for next time. Easy beverages in the form of a bottle or fountain drink style (all the essentials like coke, sprite, lemonade, powerade and dr. pepper. Apple Juice via Martinelli's and sparkling (topo chico) or still (evian) water options also available. Order at the front with a great Plant-it crew member, on their kiosk to the left of the main register counter or even online. Free vegan ice cream samples for customers :D Parking is shared with the Food Hall, and they validate. P.i. Burger additionally has catering available, cool specials and a rewards/vip program I hope to enjoy more of, as well as Plant-It Burger. Definitely a fan.
