Elie and Stephanie B.
Stephanie and Eli Berchan met when they were little children running through the grapevine fields in their little hometown in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon. As young adults, life had taken them to different places in the world only to be reunited once again at the shores of the Mediterranean. A love affair for the sea, for the food, and for each other was born and they tied the knot. A common dream of opening a family-owned restaurant moved their lovenest to the beautiful Los Angeles. In a city that graciously welcomes new flavors and embraces creativity, Sumac Cuisine opens its doors to the public in 2021.

a month agoWhen my business partner bit into the kebeh that we ordered he made a face of delight that I’ve never seen him make before. I laughed out loud. He said, “This is the best kebeh I’ve ever had” and I said, “I can tell!” He was right. What a beautiful experience it was to dine at Sumac. This place is special. This isn’t just authentic Lebanese food, it’s curated recipes from Lebanese Mom and Grandma and Great Grandma, or at least that’s what I imagined. I’m already craving more Babaganoush topped with pomegranate seeds. The chicken shawarma sandwich was fresh and tender and delicious. The owner Eli and staff are lovely and welcoming. I can’t wait to try other items on the menu in the future. Today I just wanted my favorite Lebanese comfort food items and I succeeded in getting them. Easy parking, patio, bar, good vibes all around. I loved sitting in the window and looking at the flowering geraniums just on the window sill. It’s the details.

2 months agoDelicious food; major bonus points for shawarma served the right way. Garlic sauce is great as is the house hummus. Service was the cherry on top, felt like a guest at a family member's home.

a month agoWe ordered 5-6 shareable items for a casual birthday dinner at Sumac. All the Mediterranean dishes were really delicious! The food arrived quickly and tasted authentic. Eli was a very friendly host and we enjoyed getting to know him. We found the ambience at his restaurant very serene. There was plenty of parking around the restaurant making it a very convenient location for us to get to. We'll be returning on our next trip to LA!

a month agoSo happy I finally tried this place after hearing so many great things. This is 100% the best Lebanese/Mediterranean food I’ve ever had in Los Angeles. This is a family owned spot with authentic, home style food and you can tell that it’s made with love. We got to meet the owner, Eli, who stopped by our table and made sure we were taken care of the whole night. We got the chicken shawarma wrap and plate, the tabbouleh and the side of fried potatoes. Everything was fresh and delicious and the portions were generous. We will definitely be back soon!

a year agoWe stopped in this delightful Lebanese restaurant on our way to Hollywood Bowl. The owner was super friendly and the food was very tasty and flavorful. The fatoush salad with the Pomegranate dressing was outstanding. They also have fresh homemade lemonade and mint inched tea. Both were awesome. Highly recommended.
