Shrimp Ceviche  &  Beef Bureka
Lulu F.

Beautiful ambience. Tapas style small plate plates. Great for brunch. Friendly staff! Valet takes credit card .. drinks did not disappoint

Bacari Burger
Sabrina B.

The vibes are amazing bc it's very treehouse coded but we need to get serious about the food DO NOT ORDER THE BURGER!!! it is served open face (first offense) on the uglier cousin of the ciabatta roll. and the sauce is sweet and balsamic-y. The choices made with this burger were not avant- garde enough to be an interesting new take on the burger, but also too strange to satiate the craving for a classic. the 'best cake' is PHENOMENAL I love her so bad yes i paid $7 for olives and almonds yes im unemployed no i dont regret it the pita bread that came with the vegan cashew hummus starter was sooooo pillowy. if I had been more resourceful I would have abandoned that horrible bread on my burger and just wrapped the patty in this pita instead the chicken wings are good but the sauce is quite smoky and i do feel they're cheaping out on the blue cheese bc it was watery with minimal chunks. chunkless blue cheese is very sad. overall i do think this is a classic spot for drinks and a light dinner (tapas style portions but not tapas style prices bc why did I pay $16 for six chicken wings??) but I wanted to warn the community about burger gate

Socal Staple
Joy C.

I went to Bacari again for a birthday dinner and we sat upstairs at the outside patio and it was a lovely experience! The greenery and the foliage was beautiful. Our server was super attentive and kind and made sure that we had enough food and drink! My favorites still are the Lamb pizza and the Bacari fries. The pizza has such a good flavor and topped with the egg, it feels indulgent in the best way! The fries have the perfect crisp and the gravy/sauce is SO good! I could do with or without the egg on top but it was delicious! I got the Socal Staple for my drink and it was a great balance of sweetness. I had a refill of it and preferred it with crushed ice vs cubed ice! It also comes with a beautiful slice of watermelon.

Expresso martini
Marshay D.

My first time at Bacari and I really enjoyed myself!! My friends and I decide to come here and it was a great idea!!! We came at 4:00 pm after brunch and it was still crowded! I ordered the grilled chicken breast which was phenomenal and I had some of my friend fries, which was very good and fresh! For our drink we all opt in on the 90 minutes open bar for $37 which is such a great deal!! It's rare when restaurants have this! I tried the espresso martini, you can get cocktails with this open bar and wine etc. the sparkling wine was great, and red sangria. 5/5 for the food and drinks. The service was phenomenal the servers was very nice and patient. If someone at our table did not like something they switched it and recommended something else. Attentive the entire time and gave great food suggestions. The ambiance was nice we sat outside at the outdoor patio upstairs. The only thing I feel is that it could have more handicap options for those who have disabilities and strollers. It can be more modern but it's nothing too great to elaborate on the decor. It is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. I will come back here to have the best service again! My friends and I had a great time! -Marshay D.

Sea Bass with shishito peppers, corn, and grilled lemon
Josie T.

Amazing service. The all you can drink special is a TRAPPPPP because everything you taste is so well made. All the food and drinks were amazing. I came down and had a catch up dinner with 4 of my friends here. We stayed for over 2 hours just enjoying the view, trying new plates, and hanging out. I think the star of the show, for me, was the Asian Pear pizza which was kindly recommended by our server. There's so many different foods to try and the workers will help you choose if you need. The place itself is gorgeous whether you're sitting inside or outside. All the servers are so kind and down to earth. This is a great place you can dress up at or have a casual dinner with friends. I will definitely be back. Thanks Bacari.

Bacari Fries
Caitlin D.

Incredibly cool ambiance, but mostly terrible food. We got: the Mediterranean street corn (the only true excellent dish,) Bacari fries (awful, soggy fries with a random, non-runny egg on top,) and sea bass (tasteless.) The fried chicken sliders were so awful we sent them back (I so rarely do that). Even the bread with olive oil was gross which feels like it should be impossible?? For a tapas place the table sizes are tiny so there's a crowded, claustrophobic feeling. Two stars because the location is gorgeous but phewwwww the food needs work.

Interior -- the place had a lot of people in it, and I didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable by taking a wide shot of the place.
Elizabeth S.

3.5 stars rounded up. First time to Bacari, and I wish we'd gone with a group. That seemed to be the vibe of the place. It's big, open-air, with different seating areas -- and even with the openness of it, it gets LOUD. We were two people and it was difficult for us to hear each other between the larger groups and the music. The dishes range from shareable "tapas" (or the Mediterranean version) to main courses. The person I was with had a personal mushroom flatbread/pizza, which clearly had a homemade crust and fresh veggies on it. I had the lamb hummus, which I really enjoyed -- came with pita bread that was also fresh and tasted homemade (whether it was or not!) and veggies for dipping. It doesn't look very large, but in the end I couldn't finish it, it was so filling! The hummus was very flavorful and had a nice little kick to it as well. If I get to go here again, I'll be glad to update my review with more info. But if you're looking for a place for a celebration or bringing a group, this is your place. If it's a quieter date or evening you're looking for, I might suggest trying someplace else and returning here when you're in the mood for a bit more of an exuberant atmosphere.

Chilaquiles

Chilaquiles were tasty and different from other places! One of my go to's! First time getting matcha latte and it was pretty good! Oscar provided great service! Ambiance is always upbeat and relaxed at the same time!

Lamb Hummus, Shrimp Ceviche
Yvonne D.

I love Bacari! Staff was so friendly, the ambiance and restaurant itself was beautiful! I got the Stuffed Mushrooms: 10/10 soo flavorful (I also just love mushrooms ) Lamb Hummus: 10/10 delicious Skirt Steak: 8/10 decent! Shrimp Ceviche: 9/10 very refreshing & was a good light edition to the other heavier choices I ordered

Shrimp Ceviche
Cher M.

We visited Bacari Silver Lake today on Mother's Day and had a mostly enjoyable experience thanks to the food. My son ordered the cheese pizza, which was very well made and delicious. We started with the ceviche, and not only was it fresh and flavorful, but it was also very reasonably priced. Honestly, all of the dishes felt well priced and easily shareable for two people, which makes it easy to try a variety of items from the menu. We also ordered the seared sea bass and the beet gnocchi. The sea bass was flavorful and cooked really well, and the ricotta beet gnocchi was, as always, full of flavor and one of the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Considering it was Mother's Day, it was disappointing to have to ask for assistance five separate times throughout our meal. One staff member in particular seemed irritated that we even needed help, which made the experience feel unwelcoming. The food keeps us coming back, but the service this visit definitely missed the mark.

Pork chop was amazing with the crunch on top
Carrie A.

Such a beautiful setting! You feel like you're in a literal treehouse surrounded by beautiful ambiance. Our server MYRA! Someone please give her a raise. She was so sweet and attentive. She took her time explaining and suggesting items to try. We loved her service. The tapas are all so creative and delicious. But just know, you're gonna spend alot of money. We went for our anniversary and knew that going in. For a party of 4 we spent $230. We got 5 tapas and a pizza, 1 cocktail each, and dessert. It was a special night so we splurged and loved everything about it. **The only reason for one star getting knocked off of the accessibility of the place is if you have any physical limitations you need to disclose that when making your reservation because the upper dining area is treacherous with the stairs.

Burrata Caprese and Shawarma Tacos
Liv M.

Tree-house dining with a beautiful setting, delicious food, and great service. We sampled Brussels sprouts, shawarma chicken tacos, burrata, pork belly, stuffed mushrooms, and bread pudding for dessert. The tapa style servings are perfect sharing size. Our favorites were the shawarma tacos, the chicken was flavorful, topped with cabbage, the Brussels sprouts were crispy, charred and drizzled with a creamy topping, and burrata with pesto and vibrant heirloom tomatoes. I had the strawberry fizz cocktail which was well-balanced and refreshing. Our server, Drake was attentive, friendly, and ensured we were good throughout the night. Bacari is lively in a candle-lit setting, the only drawback is the small two stall bathrooms for the busy and packed restaurant. Shoutout to the attentive and prompt parking staff. Overall, we are so glad we visited and enjoyed Bacari.

This place is very busy, food is usually really good but I took my mom here for Mother's Day and service was okay, and the food got cold so fast. Kale salad was actually delicious, Server kept forgetting about us and when we finally got her attention to ask for a box a third time her attitude was a little stand off ish. It is Mother's Day so ik it can be really busy but tbh the restaurant didn't do anything to make it special. It was like any other dinner experience

The only downside was that the waitress pushed an appetizer on us twice when we really didn't need it. Two entrées are more than enough to fill you up.

The restaurant has a really homey feeling inside, with about four small tables that make it feel cozy and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. My partner and I ordered the chicken shish kebabs with mejadra rice, salad, and sumac fries. Everything was delicious! The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing.

The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!

This review is long overdue because I first fell in love with Mazal as I impatiently anticipated their opening. I lived nearby and watched the progress as the owner and his father spent nearly two years building out the beautiful interior of the restaurant themselves. Everything about Mazal is a labor of love involving their entire family, including menu items that are grown in their orchard. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, whether you are in the dining room or on the patio. I'm back in LA frequently now and come to Mazal nearly every time. In addition to the hummus you have to have spicy tahini (or the new-to-me adorable mini falafel and tahini plate). My other new favorite I'll definitely have again is the shawarma oyster mushrooms, air-fried and served on cannellini bean purée with mint chimichurri. Everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. You don't want to miss the bourekas (the assortment of five cheese bourekas is something I dream about), the maghrebi potatoes (on tahini!), and the marble halva (take it home if you don't have room after all of the aforementioned must-haves and thank me later).
