Mizlala

First off, do NOT drive to the front of the restaurant. The front entrance is on the lane to the On Ramp of the freeway. You will be forced to take the freeway and drive around a few extra miles. There's a nice paid parking lot behind the restaurant. Once you get to the restaurant, though, you're greeted by friendly staff. The service is great and fast. The food is awesome. Everything we ordered tasted very nice, and the portions are pretty big. I would definitely recommend the Brussel sprouts and the chicken shawarma. The Babaganoush is delicious as well.

I’ve only ever gone to the West Adams Mizlala, but came to this location recently. I’m happy to say that the food is still as delicious and consistent as WA. That being said, the vibe of the place is quite a bit more plain. The service staff was nice, but they had forgotten some things for which they had to be reminded. At the end of the day the food matters the most, but with some sprucing up of the venue itself and service, this location can be unstoppable. 🏼 PS: I think Mizlala has probably the best falafel in LA. 🧆

Chicken plate, fried chicken side and broccoli was good, but then a green live bug fell out of my fork as I was trying to eat the salad. The chicken plate was remade for us which was nice, but I lost my appetite. The staff seemed unfazed and asked if it flew in. So maybe it's a normal occurrence Paid parking available behind the restaurant. It's 1.00/hr up to 2 hrs which is enough time. Got there at 7:15pm so there were spots to park

The brilliant Chef Danny Elmalah takes overs over his family cafe and instills it with refined Japanese technique too the Mediterranean food. It does not get better than this. Casual, friendly service. Paid parking out back. Practical prices; Chef Danny is also the chef at CLEO

4.5 stars - delicious sharable plates yet small portions for price. Identity of the food seems to be a pan-middle Eastern mix of Israeli, Moroccan, Turkish, and etc. dishes. All the dishes were enhanced by sauces and fresh herbs that was paired with the plates. Hummus masabacha was great because it was served with fresh laffa bread. The Jerusalem chopped salad was very simple and lacked distinctive flavor beyond the cucumber and tomato. Albeit small portions, the lamb Kefta kebab and spicy Merguez sausage were delicious and served with fresh dill and cilantro (be aware I believe the sausage has cayenne pepper that added a kick). Vegetable couscous was tasty in a tomato base served with eggplant and red bell peppers. The skillet haloumi was flambé tableside with brandy and was fun to watch (plus fried cheese is always a crowd pleaser). The restaurant automatically adds a 14% service gratuity in the bill. Service was friendly yet at times slow. Parking lot in the back charges $1 an hour at metered spaces (credit cards okay).
