This place isn't on Yelp yet, so I guess it is now. First off, this spot appears to have two names. The storefront says King Kabob, but the flyer I got says Aoki Kabob. I don't know if it's a rebrand, a soft opening situation, or just unfinished business, but the identity confusion doesn't stop there. Walking in, the vibe honestly feels closer to a gas station food counter than a restaurant -- which is rough considering it's right next door to where Al Wazir used to be. That comparison hurts, and it's unavoidable if you've eaten in this area before. The menus are confusing. The menu on the wall says one thing (ramen, noodles), the menu on the table says another (gyros, kabobs). I ended up with noodles in my order, which I wasn't really expecting. This doesn't feel like a ghost kitchen exactly, but more like a place that hasn't decided what it wants to be yet. The prices are good, I'll give them that. But food like this is supposed to feel fresh -- grilled, clean, unfried. Instead, I walked away feeling kind of heavy, which defeats the point of Mediterranean food for me. Nothing was outright bad, but nothing stood out either. Between the name confusion, menu sprawl, and lack of focus, it feels like this place is still figuring itself out. For now, I'll just keep walking down the street to the other spot.

I have tried there 3 meat combo plate it was bomb I highly recommend this place the owners is very nice the staff very welcoming and for sure I will be back.

Best tasting Gyro that I have had in LA!! The beef kabob was great too. Generous portions for the price. They're very kind too.

Finally made the reservation to the LA restaurant that has been recommended everywhere on my social…read moremedia. Reservation was pretty easy to make. We went on a Sunday at 5.15pm and was seated by the chef counter area. It was only 2 of us so I wanted to make sure we ordered enough food but not too too much. Reading through the reviews, I ended up ordering the hummus duck nduja, oyster mushroom kebab, grilled prawn, and the lamb neck shawarma. First of all this restaurant seems more on the fancier side, but I appreciate that the vibe is still pretty casual and not pretentious. Even when serving the dishes, the server told us that some dishes are recommended to be enjoyed by hands. I really enjoyed the service. They served the plates in a pretty good pace, so I had plenty of time to enjoy each of them. First was the hummus duck nduja that was served with 2 bread that were freshly made. The bread was so fluffy and it went really well with the hummus. Very good appetizer. Second was the mushroom kebab. This might be my favorite plate of all. It really tasted like something else other than mushroom. It's that good. It has nice texture and flavor. Third was the grilled prawn and this one was recommended to be enjoyed by hands. It can be quite messy, but oh man it's so flavorful. I kinda wish it came with rice haha cos it's pretty rich. Very yummy. The cucumber salad that came with it was refreshing as well. The last but not least was the lamb neck shawarma. It's so so good and falls off the bone. My bf said this was his favorite. It came with bread, although again I kinda wish it came with rice! Haha but that's just cos I'm more of a rice girly. I was already full so we take it to go. Everything was so delicious and service was great. Definitely will come back again to try other dishes. Parking was difficult so we ended up using vallet for $15. Edit to add: we just enjoyed the leftover lamb the night after, and OMG it's soooooo good! I didn't do justice on my review at the restaurant cos I was already full by the time they served the lamb. Will definitely be dreaming of that lamb now..

We just got home from dinner here and my wife and I loved it. The food was absolutely top notch. We…read morestarted with the potatoes in garlic sauce and an order of the haroumi and watermelon. What a great kick off! As for our mains, we both ordered a variation of the combo plates. I had the chicken tawook and beef. The Mrs. had the chicken and lamb. All good. Based on the food alone, we would recommend this place to anyone with a beating heart and more importantly, a mouth. This is quality food at a quality price. The atmosphere? Really great. It's a little dark and twinkly inside which sets a nice tone. There is cool artwork adorning every piece of wall, the place is very easy on the eyes...including the restrooms. Very clean. Our sever, didn't catch his name, but what a nice dude. Was super helpful without being "too much" he should teach a server class. He's pretty much who you want taking care of your table. He knew the menu well and made great suggestions. It was actually refreshing. We will come back, most likely with the family. Our waiter told us that they can accommodate larger groups which is great. I recently ate food at Saffy's and I didn't enjoy it one bit. The servings there are too small, too pretentious and too overpriced. Open Sesame is the exact opposite and that's why it rules. A wonderful experience in Beverly Boulevard.

Came to eat at the actual restaurant for the first time since I'd always been ordering via delivery…read moreapps. Food with delivery has been great, but in-person was even better! Parking can be a little tough since they don't have their own parking. I was able to find a spot two blocks away so it wasn't too bad. Got their kefta plate which comes with salad, ground lamb and beef, roasted chillis, and tahina as my main. Everything was great, chillis had a good juicy kick. You get to choose a side and a sauce, I went with their garlic sauce which was a bit heavy for my liking. Their sides were amazing. We ordered their oyster mushrooms which were juicy and flavorful. Love the sauce that came under the mushrooms. Their crispy broccoli was also really good. We had some leftovers and air frying these was such a great move. Would recommend mizlala to anyone and everyone!

The patio is a cute little oasis in west Adams (but certainly toasty during a heat wave so keep that in mind). The salmon plate is my go-to and it's so much food - great value for the price. I love that you get the option to choose your sauce and a pickle and the charred lemon is a small but great addition. I've had better pita elsewhere, but theirs does the trick for dipping in their fresh dips and I've never left here unsatisfied. Some mention parking is hard but I've never had too much trouble after searching for a couple minutes on the side streets. Will absolutely keep this place is my rotation for weekend lunches.
