Perhaps on of the best meals I've had anywhere in the world on my travels. I will absolutely come back here whenever I'm in LA and I'm recommending it to all of my friends. I would recommend trying the custom in-house non-Alc drinks, and a selection of small items (each from a different African nation) There's a reason the won a Michelin star. Location wise - perfect. We went after the Hollywood sign hike and before an Observatory visit the location is quick stop in with lots of street parking on the front. read more

5 out of 5 in every aspect From the hospitality and warm welcome, to the flavor of the food and cleanliness of the restaurant. Ron was super helpful in answering all the questions I had. The Mediterranean lentil soup was soooo goood! The fries had a nice spicy kick to them but that lemon garlic vegan mayo really brought it together! The ketchup was good too but the winner without a doubt is the lemon garlic mayo. The chicken and waffles was great, next time I would just ask for extra pickled onions/jalapeño, they were kinda lemony and really brought the flavors all together on the fried chicken! read more

Flavors From Afar deserves all of the accolades in my humble opinion. There is, first of all, no other restaurant like it in Los Angeles. Operating as a social enterprise, this Michelin recognized establishment highlights global traditional recipes made by refugee and indigenous chefs. Where else could you find this in LA? Not only that, the owner is herself an Ethiopian refugee, Chef Meymuna Hussein-Cattan, who I had the pleasure of meeting upon my arrival to the restaurant. I was so fortunate to have met her in person to thank her personally for conceptualizing such an inspirational idea in the competitive culinary landscape of LA where may restaurants are struggling for survival daily. What got me from the website was a statement that to me distinctively defined the Los Angeles I know: migration is beautiful. For those of you who drink alcohol, they also have a wine list of African and Indigenous wines that add to the well-known honey wine in Little Ethiopia and can compliment the Kenyan Coconut Tilapia to the Navajo Bison. I'm so grateful that a friend of mine mentioned that she wanted to eat here for her birthday which put this place on my radar initially. I followed-up with my own reservation with friends and savored every bite of every order we tried from the Haitian Pikliz, which was the perfect appetizer to the Somali Lamb Sambusas, the Somali Rice Bowl and the Kenyan Coconut Tilapia. It was perfect for 3 people to share. The venue was spacious and I loved the added cultural details and open space. I was lucky to find a parking spot in the back and my friends also scored on parking spots in the neighborhood. I highly recommend making a reservation to secure your table and can't wait to return to try additional items on their menu. Thank you Flavors from Afar and Chef Meymuna Huseein-Cattan for bringing this beautiful concept to LA. I can't wait to share it with more people to enjoy what you're all about. read more

Food 5/5: wow. This is my first time trying Haitian food and I was truly blown away. We ordered Sambusa, chicken rice bowl, Tilapia, and Cherokee Grape dumplings. Wooooooooo my gawd. Every single dish was AMAZING. All the dish were very savory and felt like home. Not too sweet, perfect amount of sweetness. We will for sure be back for lunch menu as well. Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5: good date vibes, dim lights, chill and modern. Highly recommend it! read more

It was date night and I booked dinner reservations. We arrived 15 minutes early since there was plenty of street parking in front of the restaurant. We were greeted, then seated right away. It is a lovely, inviting space. We ordered the Three Sisters salad, Navajo Fry Bread, Haitian Short Ribs, Haitian Pikliz and the Cherokee Grape Dumpling for dessert. All the dishes were packed with flavor and seasoned well! My favorites were the Haitian Pikliz and the Three Sisters Salad. The pickling on the veggies for both dishes was so appetizing. The fried plantain was a great vessel with a crunchy texture. My husband loved the Haitian Short Ribs! Our meal was satisfying! I subtracted one star because one of the wait staff was just standing behind the counter while another was running around, handling everything! From our point of view, our server took orders, ran the food, connected with guests, did everything. The other staff member couldn't even ring us up when we were in line to pay because she didn't know our order. So she asked our server to ring us up while he was preparing drinks. We were confused as to why she couldn't just find our ticket and go from there since that is exactly what our server did. It sucked to see they were slammed, and only one of them seemed stressed. Maybe she was new or training? I don't, it was a bummer to witness it happen. Our server wished us well and thanked us for our visit, he was best! We highly recommend and will back! read more

I've been here several times but this was my first time coming to co-work. Every time I've been here it's been a wonderful experience. So much light, open flooring and spacious with a good amount of plugs for working. Staff was friendly and attentive. I could LIVE in those lamb sambosas!! Add them to my plate and I'll never share, its that serious lol. The side of fries can definitely be shared so keep that mind. Parking can be tricky so be prepared to walk or circle the block and anytime of day. read more

Absolutely delicious food! It was hard to decide but you can definitely share plates. We went with the Three Sisters soup, Halloumi salad, Somali Chicken rice bowl, and Ethiopian Berbere fries. I had Palestinian-American wine. We devoured it all. The decor was minimalist and nice. Bonus- it was a LIBRE party night so amazing DJs set the mood. I plan to go back! read more

Everything about this business is amazing. But bottom line is that the food is just as good as the staff, services, and the mission. I've been here a handful of times for special events and, combined with the amazing service provided by the staff, the amazing vibes of the space itself, it's always an amazing experience. I had a few different plates on my most recent visit, the Ethiopian Berebere Fries, Mediterranean Lentil Soup, Haitian Pikliz & Plantains, and Somali Chicken and Rice plate. They were all absolutely incredible. You should know that this place is a social enterprise and they work with refugees and displaced persons skilled in cooking, teaching them how to run a culinary business. So the food is as authentic as it gets and the quality is absolutely amazing. The sales of the food go to round the restaurant and find the programs for their organization, the TIYYA Foundation. PLEASE visit, try their food, and support their work! read more

This gem is an oasis in the city. The quiet, stylish ambiance is a welcome contrast to the bustle of Hollywood blvd just outside. The spacious, calming energy of the restaurant makes it a perfect place to relax and enjoy some tasty international cuisine from around the world. I've enjoyed authentic Egyptian, Somali, Indian, Ethiopian and Tunisian dishes here. What makes them authentic is that they work with indigenous chefs from around the world who now call LA home. This spot is a social enterprise created to support refugee chefs who spread love through their culinary talents. Every dish and beverage has a story and unique flavor that sets this place apart. Eating here feels good, and tastes amazing! read more

Very nice ambiance with friendly staff. I had the Egyptian bashari which had lentils, chicken peas, rice, and something else in a tomato sauce. It was okay but I have the problem I don't like tomato sauce that much. My fault for ordering. I also had the Somali sambusas made from lamb. Those were great but it wasn't much food for the price. Also got the Egyptian Bissap drink. That was terrific. Not sure how much I will recommend the food but I love trying new dishes so I will be back. read more

A post-Christmas treat, we went to Flavors From Afar because I had heard Evan Kleiman interviewing the owner on her KCRW radio show, Good Food. As a multicultural family, I really liked that their mission is to help refugees settling into this country--refugees who are chefs. The ambience was welcoming, helpful input from our waiter on our wine selection, and the food--what an adventure. There were ten of us (children-grandma), and we ended up sharing our menu choices with each other. I whole heartedly recommend Flavors From Afar! read more

Such an amazing cultural experience - beautiful ambience, unforgettable food & supporting a great cause.

I have been wanting to try this spot for a long time because it is right by my barber. Unfortunately he canceled on me today so it was the perfect reason to pop in for lunch! Yared was amazing and super helpful with my dietary restrictions. He was also very knowledgable about history which was fun! The venue is beautiful we ended up staying and getting some work done. I would definitley recommend this spot if you're craving comforting flavorful cuisine in a a chill environment. read more

Flavors from Afar is a gem! The space is absolutely gorgeous and the staff were friendly and helpful. I had the kosharyand the samosas, and both were absolutely divine. The koshary was comforting and perfectly seasoned, probably the best I have ever had! And I've eaten koshary in Egypt and at friends homes. The samosas were crispy and bursting with flavor and the cilantro sauce was FIRE!!! You can really taste the care and authenticity in every bite. Beyond the amazing food, I love that this place celebrates global chefs and supports refugees through the Tiyya Foundation. Delicious food with heart and purpose -- can't wait to come back and try more! read more

So so sooooo good we had the chicken Somali rice bowl, Haitian ribs, and lamb sambusa and each was beyond flavorful!!! The new location is such a glow up too - love to see this restaurant continue to grow and support refugee chefs! Love that it feels like a cozy lounge. Me and my husband went after a long day of moving and it was the perfect meal and vibe. And the service - omg - the absolute best. So sweet and attentive. Can't wait to come back and even chill in the day with some lemonade or a tea. read more

This restaurant needs training, badly! 1st, the appetizer came after the food after we told the waitress how hungry we were! The waitress was confused as to where to seat us after we told her we had a reservation. No decor whatsoever! No artwork, it looked like they were not ready to open! No ambiance! Food was flavorless. we order 3 Sisters Soup and Salad. I have never tasted anything so bland. We couldn't eat our food after two bites. We devoured the fries when they showed up. The waitress had some wild hair ad a shirt that was too small. Not a good experience at all! The smallest water glasses I have ever seen. No vibe at all. I will never go back and am so mad that I spent my hard earned money there. No music from afar, only regular R&B. read more

I've been a long-time fan of this place. Their dishes are on the saltier side but always so flavorful. I haven't been back for a little while and this time I returned to order food to take out. My friend and I love their lamb shank so I picked one up for him on my way home one night out in LA. Not only was I surprised at the price increase a huge jump from $20 to $28 (yeah, I understand the cost of living went up, etc) but there's a MANDATORY 20% tip for takeout orders too. The staff was very courteous so I didn't mind until we got home and saw that the portion has shrunken. My friend opened up the box and had thought I brought home my leftovers for him. The "EGYPTIAN GRAVY SMOTHERED LAMB SHANK" was not only one lamb shank short compared from my past order but there was no gravy at all. There use to be 2 lamb shanks and now there is only 1. (I did read on the menu additional lamb shank is $10 but never crossed my mind that they took one away from the plate.) For about $35 for a half-full takeout entree, it's not an affordable place to dine anymore. I'm all for supporting small businesses and especially small business like theirs that supports a good deed, but who's going to support the customer? sadly it's not affordable anymore. Street parking only. Incredibly hard and very inconvenient to find a spot. read more

The main idea behind this restaurant is not only incredibly humanitarian but also really interesting. Every week they feature a different chef refugee cooking the typical dishes from their country and culture. Something definitely to behold and experience. My group and I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Sonia, a chef from Guatemala. We had chicken, the best chow mein I've ever had (Guatemalan style) mashed potatoes, plantains, amongst other things. The ambiance is also great. The whole restaurant has a "dining room of my favorite aunt's house" vibe. It is welcoming and cozy, yet still well-lit and professional. The staff was courteous and excellent. Taking care of a 15 of us with ease. They even gave us takeout boxes for the rest of the food. 10/10. Would eat there again. read more

Flavors from Afar in Little Ethiopia is my jam. The concept here is really cool. The chefs are refugees who have brought recipes and culinary traditions from their homelands. They have an amazing classic menu from around seven different cultures. They also have a rotating menu from other global traditions. If you bring enough people, you can order an international feast! Kenyan Pan Fried Coconut Tilapia: The tilapia is large and plump and fried with spices until slightly crispy on the edges. The fish is firm, moist, and juicy. The filet is smothered with a thick orange gravy of coconut milk, tomato, onion, and garlic. The broken grain rice is brothy. On the side are soft and sweet stewed cabbages and tomatoes. In the corner, there is a round ball of ugali. The ugali is like polenta, but much grittier, and it soaks up all the flavors. Dining Area: It's a small space with half a dozen tables. I think it's possible to make a reservation here. Parking: There's metered parking on the side streets. read more

We tried Flavors From Afar on the tail end of a road trip where we spent the last few nights in LA. This restaurant was listed as a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin app: great food at a great price point and those listings in the app have been gold in the past. Another hit. I love the mission of this restaurant: they work with refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants to highlight recipes from their native countries. I had the West African Bissap to drink and my wife had the Tropical Tamarindo. These non-alcoholic beverages were exploding with flavor, some of the best juice-based drinks I've ever had. We started with Somali sambusas and Haitian Pikliz, which are twice fried plantains with a tangy blend of picked cabbage+peppers. Both were amazing. For the main, we split the Somali rice bowl which was a beautifully spiced rice (turmeric, warming spices) with a quarter chicken (drumstick, thigh). The chicken was so tender and nicely spiced. We ate every grain of rice and piece of meat. Everything on the menu looked amazing and I wish I was in LA longer so that we could try all of the things. Our server Jonathan was amazing, really warm and inviting. Parking in the neighborhood was a bit tight but the restaurant has free parking out back. Highly recommend this place! read more

I needed a place to take a lunch meeting in Hollywood and I stumbled upon Flavors From Afar after seeing restaurants near me. LET ME TELL YOU, not only were there outlets a plenty - but the food was BOMB. I got the lamb sambusa bc I was trying to be dainty and not eat too much but I could have literally eaten 87 of those things. I washed it down with a hibiscus drink which was SO refreshing. They do a coworking membership too I think. Not sure what it comes with but honestly it's the perfect place to work with good prices and a fire vibe. Not to mention everyone was so friendly and kind. DEFINITELY coming back with my laptop!!! read more

Came to the new location on their first day. Spent just under $100 for 2 drinks, 3 appetizers and 1 main. I would come back to support the social enterprise and the food is tasty. The service was lacking as it appears the roles are still undefined for the front of house. I sat for a bit waiting for our table to be bussed and the barista had to tag in and serve our food to us as it sat on the counter unclaimed for a bit. The host also had to give us our utensils, which they only gave us one incomplete set for two patrons. Shame on me for coming on the first day. I'm sure they'll get it figured out soon. read more

I can't believe I haven't done a review of this place yet. They do a rotating menu that features different cuisines on a monthly basis. I think the first time I went, they had Fiijian food and the second time they had Haitian. Their classic menu includes Somalian, Egyptian, Kenyan. They hire immigrant chefs that highlight their cultures which I thought was pretty dang cool. I got their pita chips with Baba ghanoush. They deep fry their pita bread but also give unfried pita bread if you prefer. But their pita chips are SO GOOD. it's like... crunchy but also chewy. kind of the best of both worlds. I got a lamb stew one time. or was it goat... It came with rice and a giant lamb shank or something. Bone was still on... kinda cut open and the marrow was still inside! Hell yeah. It was full of flavor. Lots of spice to it but not spice-y. I'm thinking maybe it was the Egyptian smothered lamb shank now that I think about it. I remember also trying some of the sambusas. Deep fried triangles filled with spiced, amazing, piping hot goodness. I love that they allow you to mix and match whatever filling you want... unlike other restaurants that make you order them in batches of 3 or whatever. Service was great. We had THE Christian Davis serving us, bringing us all the plates, describing what everything was and how it was made. An extremely pleasant experience... all for a great cause. read more

Went with friends for a late lunch. It's a cozy space with beautiful artwork throughout. Because of the time of day, parking was not an issue. There was ample street metered parking close by. I had the vegetable samosas which were really good. My friends ordered a salad and steamed greens. We ate family style so that we were able to sample. This restaurant is a modern take on Ethiopian food (utensil place settings). The food was delicious and the staff provided great service. read more

Travel to distant lands for the price of a nice dinner date! Flavors from Afar is possibly the most unique restaurant in Los Angeles, offering authentic perspectives on food from around the world. We have been here for many culinary "trips" taking our taste buds to Senegal, Zimbabwe, Congo and Lebanon. Every dinner has been unbelievable and unforgettable. Delicious flavors, textures and food genres, completely new to me. As a lifelong Angeleno who feels very entitled to our native diversity of authentic ethnic cuisines, Flavors from Afar really levels up, answering the question of where do we go from here. Flavors creates full bodied dining experiences by curating carefully crafted and wonderfully balanced courses. The ambiance is cozy elegance, as appealing for dates as it is for a family night out. The social enterprise aspect of the restaurant and mission to help refugees makes it all the more meaningful. It is a beautiful thing to see people sharing love through sharing their food and culture. Come experience the adventure! Hats off to the genius founder Meymuna Cattan. Best dishes: everything Best time to go: whenever there's a new menu Best Attire: people watching worthy Best for: special friends read more

This restaurant highlights recipes from countries around the world that you usually don't find around town. A couple of weekends a month, they feature cuisine from one country, complete with authentic beverages and live music. In April, I attended a dinner from their Zimbabwe Dinner Series. Their 4 course meal included a kiwano horned kale salad, a choice of stew, a choice of grilled meat, and masawu pie w/house made vegan vanilla ice cream. It made for a lovely evening. During the week, from 11-5, they have a lunch menu with beverages and dishes from countries like Ethiopia, Cuba, Morocco, Kenya, Egypt, Tunisia, Haiti, etc. They serve some Somali sambusas w lamb, 3 crispy stuffed pastries served w Somali hot sauce, that are amazing. They are the tastiest turnovers of any kind that I've tried. Their Mediterranean lentil soup is fantastic, one of the best lentil soups I've had. Their Ethiopian pour over coffee is quite good also. I love the idea of different cuisines from around the world in one place. If I lived or worked nearby, I would be in there more often. read more

I finally got the chance to visit Flavors From Afar and am so grateful I did. They've recently launched their Global Series, highlighting delicious cuisines from various parts of the world every Friday evening, which is such a great way to introduce diverse communities to one another. The space is easy to find with plenty of free street parking in the neighborhoods, as well as metered parking on the main street. The ambience is quite minimalist, which amplifies its classy and clean appeal. It is quite serene with a beautiful layout that makes the colorful array of the cuisines they serve stand out. I was able to attend the Guatemalan night (and will be attending their Congo night), and I also had the chance to visit the space for a networking event. It is always so well maintained, with friendly efficient service, and of course, delicious food. I was thoroughly impressed by the five-course meal. The portions are decently sized and everything was served in a timely and professional manner. I also appreciated that they had substitutions for those who have various dietary restrictions. So I'm looking forward to many more events and seeing this space flourish! read more

Amazing! From the concept to the menu my friend and I were in love. Rotating chefs that get to bring their culture to the menu and the best stick around? Brilliant. - The sambusas had a delightful crunch to them. I think the beef and cheese was better than the chicken and the beef only one. Beef was well seasoned but meat was on the leaner side. 4/5 - The baba ghanoush came with soooo much dip and crispy but fluffy pita chips on the side. Crazy how much you get for the price. 4/5 - Kenyan tilapia was so tender! Might be one of the best tilapias I've ever had. Adding an additional fillet is certainly worth $5 as it consists of most of the dish cost. The rest is just... a mountain of rice? 4.5/5 - Maqluba was very interesting. An upside down presentation filled with a variety of veggies and tender lamb. The gamey flavor of the lamb was not present. A bit hard to eat but otherwise great flavors. 4.5/5 The food was soooo good yet the final bill only came out to around $35pp after tip n tax. I can't believe I've never tried this spot before. Looking forward to coming back each month to see what each chef brings to the menu. read more

Doing good and eating delicious food exists in harmony at this casual eatery in Little Ethiopia. Came here on a Thursday evening for (second) dinner in a group of four. Street parking. Credit cards accepted. Indoor and outdoor dining available, as is takeout. They share a restroom with Rosalind's, so you'll go to a separate restaurant. They have a rotating menu, and a variety of cuisines that are uncommon. We got an order of the baba ganoush (the fried pita was amazing) and potato & cheese sambuchas (they come in 3) for our appetizers. The passionfruit slush was refreshing, and we had some hibiscus added for tartness. The Somalian chicken was delicious as was the goat pulao (there was a delicious smokiness to the meat). There are vegetarian options, including the Pooja Prayer Plate. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Shoutout to Christian for the warm hospitality! You'll definitely have a great time here. read more

Flavors from Afar gets me and is totally my kind of spot. As a self-proclaimed food adventurer, I love being able to try dishes from different parts of the world that are not as represented in the LA/American dining scene while giving back to the community. I've been to Flavors from Afar twice, both times to try different dishes from the international holiday menu. Unlike past months when only one country/region was highlighted, December and January featured an international holiday menu with dishes from Palestine, Guatemala, Haiti, Eritrea, Lebanon, Chechnya, Venezuela, etc. My absolute favorite dish that I've tried here is the Somali pan seared chicken fried rice. I love spicy food, and this dish had the perfect spiciness level for me and was so flavorful. It absolutely deserves its spot in the permanent rotation. I also liked the handmade Afghan mantu (dumplings). It's similar but a little different from wontons. Loved the sauce and filling! We all wished this one came with more dumplings. Only six dumplings for $27. BUT their other dishes have such huge portions (enough for 2) that you'll still be full if this is not the only dish you order. The house-made baba ghanouj comes with freshly fried pita chips that are really amazing. A great appetizer to snack on while waiting for your entrees to come out. While it's not one of my favorites, the Lebanese chicken tawook was one friend's favorite. The garlic whip that comes with the dish is powerful, so a small amount is recommended. I'm not a big fan of fish, especially when it's not deboned, but I ordered the Haitian poisson fri (fried snapper) anyway because I saw pictures of it on Instagram. It was good--the fish stayed crispy for a long time--but it's difficult to eat with the bones. I've also tried the Palestinian maqluba (upside down lamb plate), which has a gorgeous Instagram-worthy presentation. Unfortunately it's not a dish I would order again since I prefer stronger flavors. The flavor profile of the Venezuelan pot pie is not my cup of tea, but I would totally just get the plantains because they're so good. The crispy sambusas are similar to samosas but way bigger, oilier, and come with different fillings. They can fill up one person for sure. Besides the good food, service was impeccable. Our server, who was also one of the co-founders, was friendly and patient with our large group. We were ready to just do one check and venmo, but he offered to split our bill seven ways and run each of our credit card. While most things about the restaurant are great, there are a few downsides. There is no restroom at Flavors from Afar itself, so you have to go to the restaurant next door to use the restroom. It can feel awkward, but the two restaurants share the restroom so don't feel shy. Another thing that can be tricky is parking. It was surprisingly easy to find metered street parking for a weekend lunch, but it was very challenging to find any parking around dinner time. Be prepared to circle around for a while. TL;DR: Innovative concept, great food, impeccable service--just an all-around wonderful dining experience. Can't wait to try more dishes here! read more

Truly an inspiring business model for a restaurant. They donate a portion of sales to refugees or refugee NGOs! Oh and by the way, our food was excellent.

Service was provided by business owner Christian and his amazing waitress Lauren. Hopefully we can return soon to try more dishes! read more

I cannot emphasize how much I LOVE this place. I come here to work almost every day. The vibes are just generally so good, I love the music they play and the staff is super friendly. It's also way cheaper than other coworking spaces-- you can do a daily pass for $15 dollars or a monthly pass for $100 (it evens out to like 5 bucks a day), which is half as much as the cheapest alternative. Plus the food and drinks are amazing. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Really enjoyed this place and really love the concept and aspect of getting a "home cooked meal". Located in little Ethiopia, the restaurant is very simple and very chill, I suggest and encourage a reservation but totally worth the extra 1min 22sec it takes to get that done. So hopefully I Remeber this correctly. But every month the owners partner with a chef from another country that has come to LA and dedicate a page of their menu for them to cook meals that come from their home country. So really amazing way of displaying opportunity and exposure for not only the chef but also the customer. So this evening we had Afghan style food and I was greatly satisfied with my meal! We had quite a large party of 8 but they were able to accomdinate us and also our waitress was very patience in explaining everything to us and keeping water on the table. Shoutout to the restaurant also allowing us to split checks *a very undervalued concept* Overall really liked this place and the food I got , I would come back in another month to try something new again not only for the food but also to support a chef Because the saying " it takes a Village" isn't only words, it's actions involved read more
