Excellent place to host a party. I hosted a birthday party for 9 people. Very tasty Mediterranean food served family style and in perfect portions. Customer service was very friendly and accommodating to our needs (allergies, etc). The ambience on a Saturday night was very lively and fun. Will definitely go back.

The menu at this one of a kind restaurant on the ground floor of the Freehand Hotel has its roots in Israeli/Middle Eastern food. But the food is not traditional Israeli food. It uses that as a base from which to expand on. The Vermilion fish, deep fried and then drenched in the most delicious sweet sauce and put on a bed of noodles it their own sauce is probably the best fish dish I've ever had. The hummus is prepared in the Israeli way, with a puddle of delicious Olive oil in the center and ringed with warm chickpeas. The cauliflower is probably the best side dish, and the chicken has a delicious flavor and despite being chunks of white meat is very juicy, not dry at all. This has become one of our favorite restaurants in LA. A consistent go to that doesn't disappoint.

Wait person, Keisha, was very pleasant and a good server. The lunch "entree" of warm salmon salad was awful.. Salmon was very fatty, uncooked and a great disappointment. Portion sizes were embarrassingly small. The Yemeni rolls with farmer cheese and honey was fantastic, but o my God, that awful salty salad. 3 of the 4 Of us who dined there ordered the salmon salad and my review is actually the kindest of the 3.

Normally I'm not a fan of wood paneling, but somehow it works in this vibrant yet cozy space. The music is set at just the right level so you're not yelling at your fellow guests. The staff were a fun and eclectic group who all seemed to work very well together. The food and cocktails were outstanding! We will definitely return.

The restaurant had a great vibe. Service was good. The chicken kabob stood out but I was underwhelmed in terms of portion size and glad we ordered several side dishes with our entrees. Food was overall good but not extremely memorable - however, we might be harsh critics with our personal background close to the regional cuisine. Would come back but mainly for the atmosphere. Fun spot worth checking out.
