Carmel offers perfect drinks and unbelievable food, including the IYKYK cocktail, spicy platter with feta, fish schnitzel, and tortellini. The friendly staff, like Emma, provides incredible service with arak shots to start. The ambiance takes guests to Tel Aviv with amazing vibes, making it a must-visit for a great dining experience. Recent reviews highlight the vibrant atmosphere, with music and vibe that make visitors happy. The food is described as phenomenal, with dishes like mushroom cigar, ceviche, beets salad, and lemon pasta receiving high praise. The Jerusalem artichoke tortellini is considered a must-try, with some saying it changed their life and is the best they’ve ever had. The bread, shrimp, and octopus, cooked in a brick oven to add smokiness, are also favorites. While the serving sizes are sometimes small for the price, guests look forward to trying more dishes and enjoying the lively, flavorful experience Carmel offers. The food consistently impresses, and the service is highly attentive, especially when the owner is present. The atmosphere is always amazing with great energy, often enhanced by live music. Many guests appreciate the unique drinks, like the house margarita, and the variety of shareable dishes that create a party on the palate. The chef’s skill and passion are evident, making Carmel a hidden gem in LA, known for its great Mediterranean food with Mykonos vibes.
