Delectable, convivial, and most relaxing inside or out; hubby and I have done both and prefer outside in their garden. Brian, our server was a delight! This is no doubt a hidden gem; tucked in silver lake. Come for the food and stay for the warm welcome as we've experienced each visit!

We were so happy here! Made it to a date high and every dish had us happy. We started with the beet salad...I say this as someone who doesn't love beets but I really enjoyed this one. Then we got the baba ganoush, and while that was good, the fresh warm bread it came with was the winner. That was followed by the lamb shank dinner...the lamb itself was tender and delicious but the stew was spicy! Skip the red peppers if you can't or don't want to tolerate the spice. The final dish we had with barely space left to eat was the beef tongue gnocchi. The crunch at the end of it had us so happy. We sadly had no space for desserts We will be happy to come back here, the patio was super cute with ambiance. Service was great, the only thing that might be an issue is the street parking situation

As my partner says, "phone eats last" so we didn't capture the dishes in their glory but damn.

Listen to me! There is nooooo reason why All Time is poppin 24/7 and this place isn't. I'm probably going to regret saying this as I work my way out of getting an easy reservation, but if you're sleeping on this place it's a mistake! The food is soooo good and fresh and unique! Never in my life have I had something like the flavor profile of the tahini toast. Everything we had was so yummy and for me a huge bonus was the generosity of herbs on every plate. The ambiance in the garden is so good and of course the wait staff was so wonderful. Will definitely be back.

My friend picked Bowery Bungalow to celebrate her birthday. Super cute and cozy restaurant. We sat at the patio and the heat lamps kept us warm on a chilly night. Staff did a great job recommending different dishes to try. We did family style and had a blast tasting everything! + Market fatoush 5/5: Server said this tasted like the "sunshine" from the lemony vinaigrette and he was not kidding. The freshest salad! + Fried cauliflower 5/5: Wow, the cauliflower was so flavorful with spice and tahini. It tasted better than I expected. + Beef tongue shawarma gnocchi 5/5: Beef tongue was so tender! I think our server provided some sauce on the side saying that some customers think it's not salty enough... it was fine without the additional sauce. + Hanger steak 5/5: Well-cooked steak with crispy brussel sprouts on the side. + Seared scallop 5/5: The scallops looked overcooked and dry but it was actually cooked just right and super soft. Roasted parsnips were a great addition. Overall, we had a wonderful and fun dinner! Glad I got to try this restaurant out!

Love this place! It doesn't seem like much from outside but it was insanely good. I loved how they brought out the dishes as they were ready and the whole team was super sweet. I highly recommend the pork ribs and babaganoush!

This place is so dear to me and holds a special place in my heart. I've eaten here more than any other restaurant, probably somewhere in the range of 100-200 times. We don't live down the street anymore but still make the drive from the valley every few weeks. The food is so wonderful, as are the employees. I love you Bowery Bungalow!!! Don't ever change!!!

This place is great. Everything we tried was bursting with flavor, and you can tell they put a lot of care into their dishes. You really can't go wrong picking anything off the menu. The staff here are so friendly and accommodating. The cozy vibes inside make it the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner or a casual night out. It feels warm and inviting, like you're dining in someone's small home.

Yes. This place is amazing. Super cute location and vibe and delicious food. My cousin and I ordered the fried cauliflower (they actually fry the cauliflower without batter - which was delicious), the babaganoush (amazing!), and their Hanger Steak with roasted brussell sprouts. Everything we had was so good. But the standout for me was the Hanger Steak and the Cauliflower. The steak was perfectly cooked and all the flavors and textures were there. The service was also top notch. They were so attentive and on top of things the "sipping" soup once you sit down was also a nice touch. Also, and most importantly, do not miss the kunefe/knuafeh. I've travelled to Turkey, Egypt, and Greece so I've had a lot of this dessert in my time and I can say that their take on the dessert is so unique. I loved it! It's lighter than others I've had but just as delicious. I can't wait to come back!

This is my new favorite spot in Silver Lake. I've already dined there several times this year. The food here is delicious and I can't wait to try everything they have on their menu. Among my favorite dishes: Beets Salad with dates Shawarma Gnocchi Lamb shank. We always like to sit in the outside patio and they do have heaters out there. Will definitely come again and try more of their dishes

I love Lebanese, Israeli, and Armenian cuisine, so seeing it elevated in a modern fine-dining way…read morewas a lot of fun. The duck hummus, shawarma neck, and tuna kibbeh were all standout dishes. Why overpay at places like Raffi's Place, where the food feels overpriced without showing where the extra money went? Here, you can actually see the quality, creativity, and presentation that justify the price, and the packed dining room proves it. 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. Also, because the restaurant stays so busy, don't expect much small talk with the staff. It's very efficient and businesslike, but your food arrives quickly and on time.

Our server pushed for us to order another app/entree even after I told them that we were happy with the amount we ordered. Afterwards, when it was time to pay the bill they "accidentally" added a $315 bottle of wine on our bill which we did not order. This definitely impacted our overall experience negatively.

I had such a great experience at Lucia Mediterranean Grill. I paid $1.25 for an hour of parking,…read morebut it was absolutely money well spent. 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. It had the most soft, chewy texture with just enough sweetness. When I asked her what the secret ingredient was, she just smiled and said she couldn't spoil it so you'll have to try it for yourself! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

We did not really interact with anyone to order, as we had to order in a kiosk but they brought the food out to our table. The place itself had 3 tables indoors and a couple of tables outdoors! We came during the rain so it was pretty empty but still a nice vibe.

Love love love this spot. I've dined in numerous times and also ordered delivery from here…read more The food is always shockingly delicious! Each individual item is great on its own but the combination of flavors is what really takes it over the top for me. I usually get the kefta plate, but decided to try the shewarma this time and it was great. Boyfriend loved his salmon plate and insisted we come back :) We also tried the cinnamon halva shakes (not pictured) which were interesting, but not what either of us expected. Very creamy and not too sweet, with the tahini flavor overpowering the cinnamon. The ambiance of this spot is great - love the intimate patio area with string lights. There was a fire going in the stove too which was super cozy. One of my go to classy-casual spots!

I got the schnitzel plate which came with rice, hummus, salad, pita bread, and mustard sauce. The mustard sauce really through me off since I was thinking more of toom sauce or tzatziki sauce. The rice had an odd taste, more on the bland side? However the pita was very hefty and pita pocket ready. The hummus was good with a few yellow chilies (super spicy). The schnitzel was hefty and huge portions almost like 5 pieces of chicken. With the portion size it's a decent price for it. Highly recommend trying out this new taste.
