It was my first time going to a Lebanese restaurant and Hayat's Kitchen was spectacular!…read more Hayat's Kitchen located in the center corner of a mini shopping center on the corner of Vineland Avenue & Burbank Boulevard in North Hollywood. Beautifully shaded outdoor patio with lush green astroturf carpeting. The outdoor seating area is dog friendly. The tables are decorated with beautiful placemats, plates and rolled up silverware. The waiter was friendly, placed a basket of pita bread for the table and helped describe some of the Lebanese dishes for me. Ordered an iced tea, fries and a chicken wrap. Went inside of the restaurant to use the restroom and on my way I saw the amazing desserts station, vintage serving trays & gold coffee pots, some classic framed photos of Lebanon on the walls, the kitchen and the indoor dining area. This was an amazing lunch and will come back to try more of the delicious food!

We ended up getting the feast for 2 because it was a great deal to try the meats and get 2 dips. It was all so delicious, with the exception of the pitas that came in a store bought bag. We really loved everything except the pitas. Would have been nice if they were warmed up at least. Everyone was very helpful in the restaurant and we also loved the lemonade with rose water and dessert. They even gave us some ladyfingers on the house. Would definitely return!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now. I guess today was the day. I walked in at…read more3:45pm and was greeted by Vlad, the host/server. I was told that this place is open for a month. I did see reviews on Yelp from last year. This is a family owned business and it truly delivered on every level. It took me a minute to decide what I wanted to eat and went with their combo meal. I ordered one beef kebab, 2 chicken thighs, (small yet filling) Hummus, Cucumber, tomato salad that came with onions, cilantro, and the dressing I believe was lemon juice mixed in with something else. Also came with garlic sauce. Both meats came with a nice size of rice. The food was very fresh, delicious, & flavorful. Service by Argam, and the rest of the staff was on point. I ordered bottled water and Argam didn't charge me for it. I also got a complimentary dessert. Delicious Raspberry custard slice of cake. Place was very clean, shared with many other businesses and had a gender neutral restroom. Also had great music playing in the restaurant. They have extensive menu options from kebabs, to pizza, wraps, to sandwiches, seafood, salad, dessert, beverages and even make their own fresh bread. Last but not least, they deliver, do catering, pick up and 3rd party orders. Thank you all and will definitely be back next time I am craving for some great food from this place!!

We were there yesterday at 4:20pm. The minute I saw that BIG dog, not only was it scary, but the barking inside a nice, homey restaurant was very loud and unpleasant. Even one of their servers and a child got scared.(looked a lot like a wolf). They came in like 3 minutes after we were seated. I complained to our waitress, Rada, and right away she tried defending them by saying it's a service dog. It had no collar nor a vest. I know a service dog when I see one. In addition to that, there were no blind, deaf people sitting at that table. Within less than 5 minutes, the owner and the dog left the premises. The restaurant looked a lot like a Chabad where a lot of Jewish people gather together and celebrate bar/bat mitzvahs, or other gatherings. Their menu has a lot to offer. Pastries, beverages, beer and wine. Vast selection of items and also vegan, plant based and vegetarian dishes. Also organic meals. Moving on with my review. My son and I ordered their small Hummus, ($9.95), which was very bland and needed some good seasoning such as pepper, oil, garlic etc.., we also ordered the same dish. 2 orders of their Quail Dinner that came with 2 salads, rice with some raw onions on top, grilled tomatoes, with fresh, hot pita bread. For both entrées, it was ($49.90). When the bill arrived, Rada removed the hummus without telling us. That was a very nice gesture. I didn't even say anything about it not being good. Our host Melida was also sweet and kind. We also got 4 pieces of their Fried Cheese Rolls ($2 per roll). The Lentil Soup was to die for. It was a very generous bowl ($7.95). I licked the bowl, and haven't had Lentil Soup in a very long time. Food was unbelievably delicious and priced appropriately for their portions. Also very fresh. Restaurant was clean along with their restrooms. One for each gender. Parking was shared with so many other businesses, had a nice size aquarium right by the entrance, and 2 more things. Former president Bill Clinton and the one and only tenor opera singer, Andrea Boccelli were photographed with the owner and placed on a wrong wall. Photos like that should be placed somewhere where everyone can see it. I may or may not return. It was barely 5:10pm, and they closed their blinds saying the reflection of the cars is bothering the photographer, when there were no cars nearby. In their amenities section, it says that they have a patio. Please update your system. There is no patio seating.

what an amazing Mediterranean restaurant that is located in studio city! i did not know about this…read moreplace until my friend mentioned about it. what won me over about this place is the fattoush salad. it is a salad inside a pita and you break the pita from the top. booking reservations for 2 was really easy. my friend booked our reservation online and was able to pick the time we wanted to come. Upon arrival, they do have valet & parking structure that is for the general public. the valet guy was nice but we ended up parking at the general parking. i love hearing the music play when walking in the restaurant. check in process was really easy & we were sat at our table immediately. the table set up was really nice. i really like that they give you a fan as a free gift. it does get hot in there. the gentleman standing at the podium was very nice and welcoming. i LOVE live dancers / performers. once we were seated, the beautiful belly dance walked over to us and she was so amazing!!! also want to give a shoutout to the gentleman playing the guitar. really lovely music he was playing. our waiter, his name is ruben and he was absolutely amazing. such nice & lovely gentleman. for our first time he really made our time memorable. he was very attentive & reassured us to make sure we were enjoying everything. we first ordered our drinks. i got the yerevan, which was really smooth. my friend got the tequila summer, it was good & refreshing. as appetizers, we got the Soujoukh with Hummus with pita breads on the side. the soujoukh was absolutely delicious and you can't really go wrong with hummus. then we got the popular fattoush salad. my goodness, that salad left us speechless..in a good way. it was refreshingly delicious. i love when a salad has bell peppers, it's soo good! the pita itself with the olive oil drizzled on top was amazing. it had this yummy crunch which i looved. then for entree, i got the chicken combo plate and my friend got the shrimp plate. both plates were 10/10. the rice was so good, loved the seasoning on top. the Lula chicken and the 5 piece chicken on the skewers were soo good! i love how the lula chicken just slides off the skewers!! it was so yum!! i most definitely recommend! my friend enjoyed his plate as well, especially the shrimp. said, shrimp was cooked perfectly. the food was absolutely amazingly delicious that we were too full to get dessert. most definitely will try their dessert next time. i hope the next time we come ruben is our waiter again!

Absolutely a fan of my local Bacari…read more This super cool and inviting eatery is located on Ventura Blvd and Hazeltine across from Ralph's and a beat away from the central Whole Foods in Sherman Oaks. Extensive menu with so much variety including lots of delicious finds for all. Team green falafel all the way!!

And let's not forget about that vegan double chocolate cake :) Enjoy the full dine in experience as well as delivery or pickup - Bacari does it all yall. Incredible cocktails as well as mocktails, inclusive wine, beer and non-alcohol beverages which include classic like juice, cold brew, other coffee like favs and teas. Super gluten free friendly, vegetarian friendly and vegan friendly across the board. Indoor cozy seating as well as intimate stylish patio seating that's beyond dreamy when the weather is nice. It's casual, trendy, and enchanting all at once. Service is typically pretty great. ADA entrance, restrooms and paths. Parking is valet or local street and lot, typically meter or flat rate. During the week they're only open for dinner at 4:30PM until 10:30 PM which makes a weekday lunch craving unfortunate. Friday through Sunday is a different story as the AM to PM is abundant, with a small gap between 230PM til 4PM where they close on Saturday and Sunday only for the change over. Large parties should absolutely make reservation in advanced as this is a very popular and frequently busy location. Bottomless mimosas are available (for a 90 minute time window during you meal)!!

It was a bit low on Tzatziki sauce though. When I got there it wasn't too crowded, but as the afternoon was approaching it got very busy very fast and the place is not that big, so at the end it felt crowded. I left as the live music was setting up so didn't get to hear them, but they are supposed to be good. The service was ok, but lagged at times. The only think I can complain is the prices. Coming from Miami, I found that $53 for a gyro sandwich with fries, a Greek salad and a tea was waaaay too expensive. Granted, the restaurant is gourmet level and is in Los Angeles, but in Miami it would have been about as good for less than half. I still recommend it though, the food is great and you'll have to decide if it is too expensive for you all things considered.
