"Charming and modest, the host and chef were incredibly friendly and served our food promptly. The prices were a bit higher than I would have preferred, but it’s hard to find anything cheaper that offers such quality in Los Angeles. The chicken shawarma was juicy, tender, and light, seasoned with fragrant garlic-forward spices that made it hard to stop eating until it was all gone! The falafel was fresh and creamy, prepared in the traditional brown style. The cumin flavor stood out beautifully and paired well with the tahini that accompanied it. I was also treated to a sample of the hummus, served plain, and I was pleasantly surprised by its smooth, fluffy texture. It coated my mouth with a prominent tahini (sesame) flavor—possibly the best in LA, rivaled only by the hummus I make at home in Israel!"
