Celebrated our anniversary here last night and loved everything. Staff is super kind, space is gorgeous, and food is packed with flavor. Every bite was delicious. Highly recommend!

This place converted me from someone who didn’t think much of Mediterranean food to someone is LOVES it. Turns out I’ve just never had good Mediterranean food.
The pita bread was mind blowing. It was soft, fluffy, toasty, and warm. It’s ruined grocery store pita bread for me. It went perfectly with the vegan “Labneh” which in my option is the one thing you NEED to try when you go there. Also had the couscous and hummus but those are not on the same level as the “Labneh” imo. #Veganuary

This restaurant is in an unassuming area. It looks like closed warehouses at night. Parking is available on the street. It's free.
On Google, it says vegetarian Israeli. I was excited to try. I made a reservation for a party of six, but it wasn't crowded inside at the time of my visit. Upon entering, I could smell roasted deliciousness. The server recommended getting several items to share. We almost ordered more pita because the spreads were so good.
This is the food we ordered for six people (plus drinks): -Spicy tahini spread $14 (comes with 2 pita), 5/5 - I would get this again! -Sweet potato hummus $18 (comes with 2 pita), 3/5 - Good, but the spicy tahini was better. -Cheese boureka $12, 3/5 - This was just ok. It's got flavor, but other dishes were better in comparison. I wouldn't get this again. -Charred broccoli $17, 6/5 - This was a crowd favorite. I don't even know how to describe it - like broccoli that is so crispy it crumbles because it's charred. Why is something so simple like this the best dish we had that night! -Eggplant steaks with falafel $23, 4/5 - This was surprisingly flavorful. People who don't usually like eggplant thought it tasted good. -Shwarma oyster mushrooms $28, 4/5 - I wish this dish was a bigger portion size. This was tasty.
When we left, our clothes smelled so strongly of smoke.
We had an outside cake for the table. They brought it out for us with the candles lit. There is a cake fee of $3 per person.

I'm the furtherst thing from a vegan/vegetarian and I have to saybthis was still one of the best places I've been to in LA. The esthetic of the place is very bohemian and the flavors were absolutely out of control. Definitely a hidden gem.

Far from true israeli as reviews prior stated. Much more morrocan clearly than israeli which leads me to believe owner is Morrocan origin. Which is fine. Food is good for most part but I was hoping for something more authentic israeli. Which seems almost impossible to find. Everything tends to be what you can find anywhere else from mid east. Give me actual israeli please

Such a great meal! Really enjoyed the bourekas and stuffed grape leaves. Everything was so tasty and a great hidden gem.

Amazing food and service! A real LA gem that is perfect for groups and people who want to try some inventive but comforting spins on some classic Israeli dishes. Highly recommend any of the dips with some zhoug!
