    Chicken Kebab Plate
    Amy N.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this place! It's a small fast food kind of establishment. Food was solid and service was very fast. We ordered the chicken kabob plate and the beef shawarma wrap, both of which were quite good. I wish the beef shawarma was a little softer but otherwise it was good. There is a limited time offer for BOGO wraps but we sadly didn't see it until after we had ordered.

    Food is just ok. It used to be better. Today it seemed somewhat dry. The shawarma plate includes a generous portion. I do not recommend the shawarma fries. The service is ok and the ambiance is very casual. There is a kiosk tablet to order on your own.

    Combo plate !

    The last time I visited this location was about 3+ years ago and it was called Z falafel. I see that it's still Mediterranean food but now it's (rebranded???) to killer kabab and it looks like z falafel moved to another location. Both their websites look the same. Sad to say but quality is not the same and the portions were like half of what I remembered from my last visit. Flavor of the meat was super light, did not really taste much seasoning. I don't see myself coming back. The place was clean and the service was quick.

    Beef Kofta Pita Wrap

    BEWARE MISLEADING PICTURES! Ordered a sandwich/wrap pictured with lettuce, tomato, and more... got just a kabob wrapped in thin dough. So misleading I got a refund from Uber.

    quite red and moist in the center, and the texture looks a bit mushy. If I get sick I just want to post this for my record... smh ima throw this $29 to the trash

    We chose this place because dude it was walking distance from our other event so we wouldn't have to re-park. It was clean and bright. The staff were friendly. You order on a tap screen which is easy enough and they bring bout the good. I requested water which they provided but they had no ice. The shawerma fries were ok though the fries were not crisp, the salmon plate was ok though the rice tasted bland, the chicken kabab wrap was ok though the pickles in it had a strange texture. The best items we tried were the grape leaves and the garlic sauce that accompanied the food. The food was satisfying though not the best Mediterranean food I've had.

    Chicken Shawarma  Wrap

    Came here because the reviews were really good, and I left disappointed and underwhelmed. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap. The photos made it look extremely appealing, however what I received was not anything like what was advertised. The Chicken Shawarma is supposed to have fries in it and there was literally only two fries in my wrap, the chicken was dry, the wrap was dry, there was hardly any sauce on it, and the flavor was extremely underwhelming. The lady that assisted me with ordering also prepared the meal and the customer service was equivalent to what I was served.

    Had the pleasure of visiting @zfalafel8 during my work lunch hour for their delicious Chicken Shawarma and Chicken Kabob ! It was served with pita, hummus, rice, pickled veggies, and falafel on this aesthetic square plate! Just take a look at these platings!! They have two locations in Downtown LA so if you're nearby make sure to visit your closest location. My coworker Alexis and I are huge fans of Mediterranean food so we devoured our meals! We still had food leftover so we were able eat more for dinner!! location #1 806 W 8th St Unit A Los Angeles, CA 90017 location #2 725 S Hill St Los Angeles, CA 90014 FEATURING-- Chicken Shawarma Chicken Kabob

    I ordered to go and the food was tasteless. Not worth the $20 for the mixed shawarma. You can skip this one. It does come with rice and a pita.

    Good place and good service. The wraps are very small and skinny so I would opt for a plate or a bowl if I was hungry. Very clean and safe.

    Hands down the worst sandwich I've ever had. Calling this a shawarma is an insult to the dish.

    Chicken Shwarma wrap is too small. Not even a kids meal. Even two wraps isn't a meal. And it isn't quite that tasty either.

Bavel has been at the top of our list of places we've all wanted to try, so we were very excited to finally make it happen. Walking in, the space is beautiful and feels very elevated while still having that open-concept feel. There are cute plants and vines hanging from the ceiling and an open kitchen where you can see everything happening. The lighting was interesting though. Our table was lit very brightly, while some of the other tables looked much more dimly lit and intimate. Our server was great, and the sommelier was wonderful as well. We went with wine pairings throughout our meal, starting with a splash of sparkling white wine. HUMMUS DUCK 'NDUJA (tahini, parsley, cilantro, sumac, blistered pita)10/10. This was DELICIOUS. The texture and flavors were everything. SILKY smooth hummus with that fatty, deep flavor from the duck 'nduja. My goodness, I would like to drink it. The warm pita that came with it was pillowy soft and perfect for scooping everything up. Amazing dish. I would order this every single time, hands down. DRY AGED TROUT CRUDO (coconut citrus broth, charred chill & onion, mandarinquat, turmeric ginger oil, kaffir lime) 8/10. Crudo was yummy with the coconut citrus sauce. Tangy, a little sweet, herby, zesty, with the fattiness of the fish. But I didn't taste anything especially different even if it was dry aged. ROASTED CAULIFLOWER (vegetable curry sauce, rose pickled beets, garam masala, horseradish, cilantro)7.5/10. This dish was good, but nothing spectacular compared to everything else we had. The flavors were there, but overall it tasted a little more muted in comparison to the rest of the meal. GRILLED OCTOPUS (skordalia potatoes, broccoli, lamb XO, dill, lemon, olive oil)9/10. Loved! SO TENDER. I've had plenty of octopus that ends up chewy or overcooked, so I really appreciated how perfectly this was cooked. ROMANO BEAN TEMPURA (cashew cardamom cream, tomato date chutney, black garlic aioli, smoked habanero)8/10. The sauces were SO good with the tempura beans. The batter was very light and crispy, while the beans themselves were cooked until just tender enough. Such a good bite in terms of both texture and flavor. SLOW ROASTED LAMB NECK SHAWARMA (tahini, ajika, pickled vegetables, carob molasses, laffa)10/10. AMAZING DISH. The meat literally fell off the bone. I already love the flavor of lamb, and this one was just chef's kiss. The tangy pickled vegetables paired with the rich lamb and tahini worked so well together and made for the perfect bite. 10/10 would recommend if you like lamb and have people to share it with! 22OZ BONELESS MARGARET RIVER RIBEYE (fermented mushroom cream, marinated cucumbers, dill)9.5/10. This was cooked SO WELL. The fermented mushroom cream was an amazing sauce to pair with the steak. There are a lot of rich, fatty elements here, so the marinated cucumbers were perfect for breaking everything up and balancing the bite. One of my biggest takeaways from the entire meal: DO NOT SKIP THE SAUCES. Every sauce, condiment, and side that came with the dishes felt intentional and elevated the flavors exponentially. 10/10 sauce situation going on at Bavel. For dessert: STRAWBERRY SUMAC & SWEET CHEESE PASTRY (pistachio ice cream, sheep's milk ricotta, cured sumac)9/10. I'm not a huge sweets person, but this really hit the spot. I do love a good pastry, and the ricotta was just sweet enough without being too sweet, which in my eyes makes for a perfect dessert. NOUGAT ICE CREAM BAR (dark pecan caramel, chocolate butter cake, chocolate shell)9/10. Another great dessert. Loved the chocolate, the deep caramel flavor, and the nuttiness from the pecan. Great textures too, although the chocolate shell made it a little difficult to cut and share! Honestly, I want to come back just for the hummus. Everything was delicious, the wine pairings were great, portions were generous enough for sharing, and the service was wonderful. Bavel is such a lovely spot for an elevated dining experience, whether you're coming with a group or for a date night. Loved our experience here. Thanks for a great meal, Bavel!

    the good: mushroom kebab was nicely seared with crisp edges (waiter suggested a pistachio sauce…read morerather than cream); the pinkish trout was pretty much a cebiche in a coconut-type marinade. didn't try the salad nor the pâté, but sitting at the counter watched both being made and they seemed appealing. the mediocre: the shawarma is the most written-about item. it's a sizeable lump of very fatty meat, and treated as such--more akin to the most gelatinous cut brisket or pastrami than to shawarma. ok, but not keen to eat this again. the bad: mostly the price...ok, it's not street shawarma or cebiche, so one would certainly pay far more in for the restaurant versions. but this is now about double even the inflated pricing. the place is hopping with a mostly younger crowd and just enough tourists to keep it filled...

One thing you absolutely cannot skip is the edamame hummus. I had never even heard of edamame hummus before coming here, and now I can't believe I went so long without trying it.

It's one of those dishes that completely changes your expectations and has you thinking about it long after you've left the restaurant. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding.
