This spot is a nice short walk from the house making it one of our favorite nearby haunts where we feel neighborly. We enjoy going there for snacks and drinks. The patio is great for drinking, snacking, and smoking a hookah, cigarettes, and cigars. We generally get several appetizers to share. All are very delicious. The service is impeccable. We have always had Valentine as our server and he's friendly, professional, and will put a smile on your face and crack you up with his fun and playful sense of humor. He's a big reason we keep going back to Desert Rose. He makes you feel welcome and is happy to see you when you return making it feel more like going to a friend's house instead of a restaurant. I hope to continue enjoying this neighborhood secret for years to come.

The food was tremendous. I had salmon kebab and my date had the baked Branzino. Desert Rose is an unknown oasis in the Los Feliz area. A Must try for yourself! We Will repeat.

My Husband and i had a really good time at desert rose, we were looking for a place to eat around the area and when we found a place to eat we thought it was “Home “ restaurant that was there before desert rose… we were so surprised it was a different restaurant so we gave it a chance and boy we enjoyed it all, the food was ssooo good the atmosphere was nice and romantic with heaters over our table All in all we loved our experience here we loved to food. I’m a big fan of Mediterranean food. The server was very nice and accommodating. Thank you.

This place has a dog adjacent to the kitchen that runs up to it, near the patio, etc.
It's also a complete menace to people walking by- you can hear them scream as it lunges up at them by the gate.

If you want affordable shisha ($35) and tasty food, this is a great spot. There was a lot of hype over the short rib pasta and everyone was right! It’s so delicious 🤤 The service is kind of slow but I didn’t mind the pace. Go in with the mindset that you’ll be there for a few hours

We went to this place for Christmas day lunch on our LA trip by accident. The food, customer service, and ambiance were great. We got the penne pasta, jidori chicken, shwarma sandwich, and pita crusted salmon and got lava cake and chocolate ganache cheesecake. The owner checked if we were doing ok since the jidori chicken takes time to cook. We loved the attention, especially on Christmas day.

There’s plenty of street parking available, Desert Rose in Los Feliz is the is great. Very spacious patio that’s perfect for birthdays, holiday parties, or just hanging out a large group. They serve brunch as well as dinner. I went for dinner and sit on the patio. They do have plenty of heat lamps plus the firepits
Let’s talk food—everything was a vibe! The halloumi with Sojuk? Chef’s kiss. I even tried fried smelt for the first time, and it did not disappoint. The mushroom pizza was savory perfection, and the Khesh Khash was so good!
And for dessert? The Ashta with honey and pistachios was the sweetest way to end the night. They even have hookah if you’re in the mood to chill.
Highly recommend this hidden gem in Los Feliz

This place had some of the best Mediterranean food!! Definitely order the kabob, and their expresso martini. ❤️
Mehr, went for a work lunch , food was bland , and portions were extremely small , my coworker got a turkey sandwich and it had 1 thin slice.of turkey on it hahaha Everyone else was not very pleased with their meal. The place is nice though, beautiful atmosphere but the food is way overpriced and very unsatisfying ?

The food was delicious, but the shrimp pasta only came with about 5 shrimp. Bummer! The Humus was great and tasted very fresh. The service was superb; our waitress was friendly and patient with our requests. This was a great dinner experience.

Just left on 8/3 and had an amazing experience for lunch. Ordered the potato pizza, crispy goat cheese salad, espresso martinis, and sangrias and the gentleman that took care of us provided outstanding service. 10/10 recommend. I wish I would’ve taken pics but I left my phone in the car :(

The food at this place is delicious. Go here late on a summer afternoon for a shady courtyard and tasty food. The crispy goat cheese salad is amazing. We, despite the obvious fact that this is not a pizza restaurant, ordered pizza with our salad. The portobello pizza with truffle oil has fantastic flavors. To be truly too notch they need to add less sauce and cheese to bring out the star flavors, but we still ate every bit of it and wanted more. Oh, and the prices are good for a date night!
