Short Rib Cigar and my new addiction
Mike S.

I don't what took me so long to get here, but now that I've tried TLV Tapas I will be back...often. I'm already a fan of Tel Aviv Grill, but this restaurant space feels elevated. The decor, music, and feel is definitely a vibe, and yes I feel ridiculous for using that term that too - except it's true! Let's get into the food because we tried a ton of dishes. Spoiler alert - we loved everything we tried, with my favorite being the short rib cigar and bluefin crispy rice. The short ribs are so tender and delicious, which leads me to believe they have been braised for a very long time. The cigar itself was perfectly crunchy and mixed with the tender short rib and dipping sauce made me want 10 more. Bluefin crispy rice at an Israeil tapas bar? Yes! The fish was so fresh and creamy, and the crispy rice was flavorful and crispy without being overly crunchy. Loved the rest of the sushi we tried as well, and they use interesting seasonings (za'atar, sumac) which ties sushi to the theme. We also tried the Zaaluk which is smoked and roasted eggplant with peppers and garlic, which paired extremely well with the chewy and crunchy jerusalem bagel. Also loved the hummus because it was creamier than many I have tried, but still had that satisfying garbanzo sumac flavor I wanted without being overpowering. Lastly, I need to talk about the oyster mushroom which comes on a skewer with an herb gremolata and looks like a meat kabob. It left us wondeirng how a mushroom could be so rich in flavor, meaty, and perfectly grilled as a skewer. There is so much more we tried (and snapped pics of), and tons more I want to try, but you'll have to get down here and see for yourself. Really nice for date nights or eating and laughing with a group of people worth eating and laughing with.

Such a cute spot! A little difficult to get a reservation though, seems quite busy. Rightfully so as everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We wanted to try a bit of everything and our waitress helped us pick a good variety. To drink we ordered the Nights in Tulum which basically is a spicy cucumber margarita. My goodness was this delicious! Refreshing, perfect spice and potent! We asked for tajin instead of salt and they delivered. To we went with the short rib cigar: perfectly crispy and sides complimented it nicely; having tender skewer: succulent and delicious not one crumb left behind; the bluefin lime roll and yellowtail roll: both fresh and had the perfect rice to fish ratio. The quality of the food is amazing and service was great. They ARE on the pricey side however. And when we told them it was our anniversary we weren't offered anything. Not that it's a huge deal but those little details really can make a celebratory night that much more special.

Thank you for sharing your amazing restaurant with us. My daughter and 8 of her friends enjoyed the most amazing and delicious food and entertainment. So much fun and such great ambiance and atmosphere. Wonderful birthday it was!!

Came here with a couple of friends to try it out! We sat at the only table outside, which was kind of nice. We got the bread, oyster mushrooms, and the beef cigars (I forgot what it's called). And some drinks! We were all happy with our cocktails. The food? AMAZING. So delicious and flavorful. My favorite was the oyster mushrooms. But honestly all of it. The staff were super friendly as well! I also didn't know it was kosher! That's awesome. Will def be back!

Located in Tarzana you can find street parking or there's a parking garage directly across the street Located in Tarzana you can find street parking or there's a parking garage directly across the street. it it's pretty spacious with seating downstairs and upstairs This restaurant left me craving more! When I say every dish was amazing, it truly was! My friend and I stopped by a few days ago for dinner. We got the oyster mushroom, grilled okra, and their specialof the night the Dubai sushi. I can't describe okra. It's a southern dish, but I highly recommend it if you've never tried it, and wow, it was my first time trying the mushroom oyster. You're eating meat. It's grilled and seasoned perfectly. We got the short rib pasta with mushrooms for entrees, and honestly, this might be the best I've ever had!! we had a few other entrées, but you must get the Arias. Overall, everything was a hit from service. Our waitress was Ciara and she was delightful and helpful with suggestions as well as the other staff. I'm already planning a trip to come here again highly recommend it, especially for special occasions.

TLV Tapas Bar's 2nd anniversary was very tasty. The atmosphere was electric with a live DJ and a lively crowd. The set menu (see photos) featured vibrant Mediterranean flavors, and I had the chance to try: *Jerusalem Bagel - Warm, fluffy, and perfect with za'atar olive oil and tomato purée *Tzatziki - A cashew cheese twist with cucumber, garlic, dill, and chili flakes. *Zaaluk - Smoky fire-roasted eggplant with spicy shushka peppers and garlic confit *Okra - Tossed with lemon, soy sauce, and urfa pepper for a tangy, slightly spicy bite *Oyster Mushroom - Tender, with fresh herb gremolata, citrus, and sumac *Cauliflower Steak - Hearty, with beef demi-glaze, capers, and wild dill *Salat Hashuk - Crisp and refreshing with radish, cucumber, tomatoes, mint, and citrus vinaigrette *Arugula Salad - Peppery and balanced with fennel, pomegranate, beets, pine nuts, and sumac vinaigrette *Chilean Sea Bass - Buttery and perfectly cooked, paired with charred bok choy and Persian lemon Beyond the food, TLV's partnership with the LATTC Foundation made the night even more special, supporting scholarships for aspiring chefs. Overall, a fantastic celebration of food, community, and giving back. Cheers to many more anniversaries, TLV!

Happy Birthday to mom!

Great service! Delicious food! Cesar is the best server! Ask for him! Can't believe it took me this long to try it out! Branzino and Arais is the best on the menu!

Our favorite shook salad
Mike A.

This place never disappoints and always delivers! We typically come on Saturday night early sit on the bar and enjoy really good food. The shook salad, humus, the newly added sushi rolls (so good) everything is always consistent and prepared to perfection. Overall great food, great ambiance and the service is always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Full disclosure my review is based on being a guest at a party that was held in this restaurant. I have seen this place a lot as I live around this area but first time to go to attend a party. Well first off it's a Kosher restaurant and bar so that tells you that this is probably going to be more expensive than your regular bar and restaurant. The party I attended had about 50 guests and the service was great, servers paid attention to our drinks make sure we keep getting wine (well they sell each bottle so...) and the table setting and prep was really classy. We were served a 4-course meal so the starters, appetizers and salad was a lot. There were probably about 5-7 apps - my favorites are - Jerusalem bagel (so good especially when it was hot) the oyster mushroom skewers were delish the bluefin sashimi was also good and I'm glad my section of the table most of the guests didn't eat the raw fish. For the mains - we were served ribeye steak medium rare and I think it's very well seasoned and cooked right. The branzino was perfect and was a favorite at our side of the table. The desserts were served as well - there's one that stands out - the pistachio - I've never had that before and it was definitely worth a try. Place looks like a high end date night for those who observe Kosher and music is also to their taste. It can be loud for some people but I'm fine with it - definitely giving you that party / late night vibes.

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.

Each individual item is great on its own but the combination of flavors is what really takes it over the top for me. I usually get the kefta plate, but decided to try the shewarma this time and it was great.

Very creamy and not too sweet, with the tahini flavor overpowering the cinnamon. The ambiance of this spot is great - love the intimate patio area with string lights. There was a fire going in the stove too which was super cozy. One of my go to classy-casual spots!

Mejadra rice - 4 Hummus - 4 Great. Just wish there would've been more Pita bread - 4 Just wanted to mention it separately because it was thicker than normal. I liked it but it was more filling than I expected. Baklava - 4 Flavor was really good. But it was served in too small of a dish such that it had to be crammed into it.
