They tastefully combined flavors from two distinct cultures in a way that is not forced or heavy handed.

Fave spot in LA and order here at least 2-3x a week. Best, most creamiest hummus I’ve had in my life. Rice is cooked to perfection every time. Both their salads are delicious and refreshing, Tabouleh Oaxaca Salad is a must try. Taco plate with chicken and cauliflower is my go-to. Everything is fresh and packed with flavor. Prices are affordable/reasonable and portions are perfect. Owners are super friendly and you can tell they put a lot of care and passion into their food.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian friendly.Parking: Has its own parking lot. About 7 spaces.

I came for lunch and was greeted by one of the brothers who was very kind. I ate at one of the tables under the pergola. The food was fresh and flavorful. The falafel are so light but since they are made to order the outside is perfectly crispy... they were delicious!!! The hummus is smooth, the salad was perfectly dressed- in fact I was surprised at how much I liked the salad. There was probably a whole cucumber in there. The pita is large and flaky... This was divine.

Heard of this eatery via Netflix. Chef David Chang featured this restaurant on Ugly Delicious. The parking lot is tiny and there is only outdoor dining with great shade. I was very intrigued by the Mediterranean and Mexican fusion so I had to try it out. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate which includes salad, rice pilaf and hummus. The Chicken was extremely tender and seasoned beautifully. The rice was okay, it wasn't as flavorful as I expected. The salad and in house dressing was amazing and super fresh. The hummus was delicious! And texture was on point. Their homemade salsa was so damn good too!! You could definitely taste the smokiness in the chilis they used. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for authentic fusion food. I can't wait to come back and try the Mole!

The food was good with nice portions. We ordered a chicken sharma plate, chicken kabob plate, potatoes, pickled turnips, and cauliflower. I was also impressed by the amount of pita bread given. Only minus is the lack of sides that Mediterranean restaurants serve. We also wanted to try the tabbouleh salad, but were out. I will go back again when I am in the area.

A true gem! The falafel is crispy and fresh, the chicken is rich, the smoky babaghanoush is otherworldly, and the brown salsa just makes everything better. Their rotation of aguas are never overly sugary, and are always super fresh. The brothers running it are master chefs, because they manage to maximize flavor without ever making things greasy or heavy. Service is always quick and friendly too.I could rave about this place forever, but I'll just say that this is the place I insist on bringing friends from out of town to eat at because I love it so much. Give them a dang michelin star already!
Chicken tacos are a 10/10. Very generous with the portions! The service is always wonderful.

It's a really unique experience! The shawarma tacos are perfect, falafel is on point and the Oxacan taboule has a twist to it with the cactus. Service is great! Need to try more items very soon.

They were able to handle a very large order for me and my organization but they did not have the agua fresca Pina drinks that we ordered so we got stuck with the pepino but the pepino drink was still
This hidden gem has some pretty incredible Mexican-Mediterranean fusion food. The chicken shawarma taco and black bean hummus are must-tries and the combo plate is perfect if you're looking to try a little something of everything. While there's no indoor seating or public restrooms, the friendly service and fair prices make it worth the visit if you're in the area.
