Popped in on a Saturday night for gals' dinner with a pair of friends. The location is definitely not where I'd have anticipated finding such a gem, but this place REALLY delivers! The service was top notch - attentive, friendly, & quick - all without being around too much. The potato bourekas were little puffs of heaven. The pita was so beautifully fluffy (I didn't even know it could *be* like that!!!), and the vegan labneh plate is last-meal-on-earth-worthy. I still daydream about it, & it's already been 9 days since my visit! read more

I came here just after they opened, there were already some people inside. The cheese bourekas were flakey, light, and filled with feta. The Mini falafels come with 8 and are bite size on the tahini plate- I loved putting all the tahini on it. The Charred broccoli was exactly what I wanted, it's crispy and comes with a lemon garlic aioli. The Maghrebi potatoes come in thick, crispy slices on pickled lemon red pepper tahini. The Shawarma oyster mushrooms also another hit. We also ordered flat bread special which was feta & pomegranate seeds. Overall I was just so impressed with every dish. For dessert we ordered the halva & S'mores bourekas which was light & not overly sweet for a finish. Parking- street parking read more

The best hummus in the WORLD, bar none. And the most incredible pita bread I've ever had! I love so many things on the menu that I over-order every time but the next day I'm happy to have whatever combo of leftover couscous, spicy Moroccan carrots, and kale salad (which holds up really well as leftovers because kale). This review is long overdue because I first fell in love with Mazal as I impatiently anticipated their opening. I lived nearby and watched the progress as the owner and his father spent nearly two years building out the beautiful interior of the restaurant themselves. Everything about Mazal is a labor of love involving their entire family, including menu items that are grown in their orchard. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, whether you are in the dining room or on the patio. I'm back in LA frequently now and come to Mazal nearly every time. In addition to the hummus you have to have spicy tahini (or the new-to-me adorable mini falafel and tahini plate). My other new favorite I'll definitely have again is the shawarma oyster mushrooms, air-fried and served on cannellini bean purée with mint chimichurri. Everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. You don't want to miss the bourekas (the assortment of five cheese bourekas is something I dream about), the maghrebi potatoes (on tahini!), and the marble halva (take it home if you don't have room after all of the aforementioned must-haves and thank me later). read more

Mazal Berr & Wine is an Israeli vegan vegetarian restaurant in East Los Angeles, CA. The word Mazal in Israeli means "luck" or "fortune." They serve shareable small plates with fresh Mediterranean ingredients as well as drink. Interior and exterior seats are good with relaxing atmosphere. I came after driving pass by last couple months and decided to check it out. I had a drink just because I had a long work day. Beer and wine selections were good. Female white petite bartender was nice and competent. Parking in the area can be a challenge given they're in an industrial park and next to the 5 fwy. Overall, I had a good experience. read more

Perhaps the best mediterranean veggie/vegan fare in LA. After a day at the Wi Korean spa, there's no better meal than the fresh, healthy and delicious fare at Mazal. Friendly service and a family run affair: With Tal who manages front of house, his mum Hanni cooking 5 dishes at the same time, while their dad selects fresh produce from their farm (40 miles outside LA). The food reminded us of the better farm to table restaurants in Israel. The decor is very Israeli with menorah's by the window and the setup is like a casual bistro. The menu is simple (one page) but has some gems. We couldn't decide between the dips, so we requested a dip platter (off menu, they can accommodate if the kitchen isn't too busy). It comes with 4 dips: Magreb tahini (spicy tahini), fresh cool babaganoush (eggplant), fresh whipped hummus with chickpeas and spicy tahini. The asparagus was amazing with a bed of what felt like muhamarra, made of red bell peppers from their local farm and walnuts. I could scoop that dip for days with a pita. The shawarma oyster mushrooms was our main entree, it comes with a delicate cannellini purée that definitely needs the side of mint chimichurri. The mushrooms are fried and benefit from the freshness of the puree and the freshness of the mint chimichurri. Finally we wanted to save some room for desserts so we bagged many of the dips for lunch the next day - even better the next day. Tao recommended the coconut baklava and it was gone before you can say bak la what? This promoted us to get a second dessert which we knew we'd share with the rest of the fam, and we opted for the classic marbled halva, despite being tempted by the pistachio. Of the two, the coconut baklava was my favorite. Tip: Free street parking Tip: If the weather permits, sit in the outside patio for an amazing experience. read more

Wow, the bread and dips was actually the highlight for me Overall great experience. Staff was super kind and attentive You can sit inside or outside in the back patio. The back patio is such a cute ambiance. It looks like they are growing their own herbs and plants. Lots to observe Food you can't go wrong with. I think everything was vegetarian and their flavors were so enhanced read more

We had lunch here today and we are blown away by the food and hospitality. We had the humus with crudite, the charred broccoli, and the mushroom shawarma, and for desert we had the grilled dates with Greek yogurt. Such a yummy experience. All the dishes are made with fresh produce and are very flavorful. The owner, Tal, is very kind and we had a great time dining here. Will revisit soon. read more

Great place for Israeli vegetarian food. Mazal is tucked away in an unassuming neighborhood, but as you enter, the space is cozy and inviting with friendly service. The menu is simple but varied. We enjoyed everything we tried. My favorite was probably the oyster mushrooms, rich and savory. The pita bread was also delicious. Plenty of street parking available. read more

And back again, Mazal remains a great place even though I found this time's choices a bit less well rounded than on previous visits. Babaganoush, hummus, and maghrebi potatoes were wonderful, the stuffed grape leaves a bit genuine. The V Steak & artichoke was mediocre, and the couscous really a bit substance and color-less. Fortunately, the chocolate bourekas made up a bit at the end. PREVIOUS REVIEW 2 Back for an encore with our visitors. The food was once again a dream - the service definitely less and remained a dream. While Mimi was on the front super nice, she was very impatient with our party of 7. And while an automatic 25% tip is added to parties of six and more, there was little attention to deserve that. Plates were not changed between main and dessert, silverware was not provided for shared items, a dirty knife was accidentally dropped on one of the participants without even an excuse or help to clean the clothes, water remained low ... Again, 5 stars for the food which asks for returns, but the guest relations and service skills are at best 3 stars and have a lot of room for improvements. PREVIOUS REVIEW 1 A gem in a place where you would not expect it. This wonderful Israel-based vegetarian restaurant offered a nice selection of food items. We chose the stuffed grape leaves and the hummus: The hummus was creamy and delicious, but the warm and fluffy pita bread was simply unbeatable. For mains, we went with the harissa sprouts - wow a nice touch of spiciness! - as well as the fig flatbread. The street appearance and entry are already a stark contrast to the neighborhood, the atmosphere on the inside is cool, modern, and there is a nice and a bit more quiet outdoor area. The staff was very attentive - maybe a touch too fast: Just having returned from a trip to Europe where one continues to sit and maybe order more after a while, the check arrived within minutes not to say seconds after swallowing the last bite. read more

The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting, with a high end vibe. The food was delicious and so hard to choose! We had the hummus and pita, beets, and potato bourekas to start. We had cilantro Tumeric cauliflower, shawarma rubbed oysters as our mains and the halva and chocolate bourekas for dessert. It was ALOT of food. The staff were friendly and helpful. Should the opportunity arise we would definitely come back to try other items and recommend to others. read more

This restaurant is in an unassuming area. It looks like closed warehouses at night. Parking is available on the street. It's free. On Google, it says vegetarian Israeli. I was excited to try. I made a reservation for a party of six, but it wasn't crowded inside at the time of my visit. Upon entering, I could smell roasted deliciousness. The server recommended getting several items to share. We almost ordered more pita because the spreads were so good. This is the food we ordered for six people (plus drinks): -Spicy tahini spread $14 (comes with 2 pita), 5/5 - I would get this again! -Sweet potato hummus $18 (comes with 2 pita), 3/5 - Good, but the spicy tahini was better. -Cheese boureka $12, 3/5 - This was just ok. It's got flavor, but other dishes were better in comparison. I wouldn't get this again. -Charred broccoli $17, 6/5 - This was a crowd favorite. I don't even know how to describe it - like broccoli that is so crispy it crumbles because it's charred. Why is something so simple like this the best dish we had that night! -Eggplant steaks with falafel $23, 4/5 - This was surprisingly flavorful. People who don't usually like eggplant thought it tasted good. -Shwarma oyster mushrooms $28, 4/5 - I wish this dish was a bigger portion size. This was tasty. When we left, our clothes smelled so strongly of smoke. We had an outside cake for the table. They brought it out for us with the candles lit. There is a cake fee of $3 per person. read more

I thought that the food was INCREDIBLE. It was probably the best Israeli, vegetarian combo I have ever had. The servers were very nice and we got our food pretty quickly, the workers were SO nice and looked like they were actually HAPPY to be there. It had beautiful lighting and a nice outdoor area complete with a cool basketball hoop decoration. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is interested. Quinn (11) read more

Overall everything was just fine here. The hummus was good, and we quite liked the Sharma oyster mushrooms but there weren't any dishes that really stood out. I was also pretty disappointed by the wine serving - for as expensive as this glass of wine was it would have been nice to be able to drink more than a few sips. read more

It's an absolutely cozy & cute place. The service was great. The hummus and Pita were really good. Israeli Salad was fresh but it didn't have much seasoning on it. We also ordered Potato Bourekas, Shawarma Rubbed Oyster Mushrooms, Cumin Beets. They were all ok. Cilantro Turmeric Cauliflower had nice flavor. Overall, everything was fresh. But my friend makes these dishes better., Would I go back? Probably not :-( read more

Yum and had a really nice time here! Great food and nice place to catch up or have a nice meal out. The area isn't really much so if you are going out here then probably just going to this restaurant. Once inside however it seems like you are transported somewhere else, the decor is really nice and open kitchen concept gives you a peek in the kitchen. They also have a pretty decent outdoor dining area behind the restaurant which is where we dined. Service is pretty good and relatively fast. If you got some active little kids, the outdoor area might be for you since the kids can run around back there since it's enclosed and especially if the place isn't too crowded, it may seem like you have it almost to yourself! Parking is just on the street and it wasn't too hard to find on a Sunday evening. read more

Everything was so good. We had the hummus, babaganush, the mushrooms, broccoli and vegan steak. Will definitely be back soon!

Super healthy and clean dishes that are tasty and nutritious. We've only ordered to go but hope to make it to the restaurant soon!

Mazal is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. Whether you sit inside or in the patio..it's such a chill vibe. The air-fried olives with vegan labneh (crispy onions are delicious) and the charred broccoli (lemon garlic aioli is bomb) are my go-to order. It was my bf's first time, so we ordered the steak.. which was new to me.. and we loved it, along with the cheese bourekas and pita. The server was super sweet and attentive. It's always such a great experience. Parking is easy too. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came back for a large birthday dinner and the staff was so accommodating, I have to give this spot another 5 star review! I booked a table for 14, but when 17 of us showed up, they managed to fit an extra table in so all of our friends could join. They also helped us with splitting credit cards beyond just 2 cards which we greatly appreciated, and they didn't force us to do a pre-fix menu which was great, considering that some of my friends attending had significant allergies. The food is delicious. Potatoes and hummus were highlights, but we enjoyed almost everything we ordered. The only thing I didn't love was the eggplant and falafel. The spaces outside and inside are both very well designed, and we all loved the vibe of the outdoor space on one of the first nights this year that felt like summer. Thanks Mazal for helping make my birthday a night to remember!! read more

We visit LA once/year from "Back East" and always book at least one meal at Mazal during our trip. The food is THAT good, along with great atmosphere, service and value. From the appetizers to the mains (especially like the charred brocolli, maghrebi potatoes and the shwarma oyster mushrooms) to the fluffy, warm, freshly made pita, to the desserts (including delicious halvah and this year tried the air-fried dates) it's a fabulous meal. Lovely patio setting and extensive, reasonable beer/wine list plus lots of other drink options like the homemade mint lemonade make it a truly special meal. Obviously a great place for vegans and vegetarians, but even the carnivores in our group love Mazal. read more

Came here for date night on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised. Parking in this area can be difficult, but the vibes here are so unique. Stepping inside, it feels very homey and smells delicious. The hummus with the pita bread was bursting with flavor and I enjoyed every bite. Same with the potatoes and the sauce it came on! The falafel on eggplant was the main star and I really liked this one. Everything including the sauce just came together and melted perfectly in my mouth. read more

It's ok. Several other option nearby. This place sorely lacks authenticity and flavor.

Simply fantastic. In every possible way. Again. I am not a vegetarian and I've still had some of my best meals in Los Angeles here. My goodness, that special of Fig Flatbread with cheeses is, as the saying goes, to die for. So are the Jerusalem toast; Cilantro Turmeric cauliflower; all the bourekas (including the dessert ones); the hummus, and spicy tahini. As with many Mediterranean and Israeli places, ordering a lot for the table is the way to go. The food is let's-order-another-one delicious; beautiful presentation -- creamy labneh laid on with a sweeping flourish; friendly, attentive service, as one can expect from a family place; laid back atmosphere, especially in the back patio, with its collection of seats and tables. Our friends and we came early, ordered a lot, and closed the place--and time flew. It's worth a trip from across town. read more

The food was basic and a bit under salted. I appreciate the vegetarian/vegan approach but you have to work to make this the veg options sing! And they didn't. There was effort to the interior design, but if felt predictable at best and cheesy at worst. I was excited to sit on the outdoor patio, but the amount of cement made it feel like barracks with patio lights. The server put in her all, which was appreciated. Unfortunately I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

A true hidden gem! If you're looking for fresh, flavorful vegetarian Israeli food, this place is a must. Everything we had was delicious, but the standouts were the hummus (creamy and perfectly seasoned), the roasted eggplant (smoky, tender, and full of flavor), and the beets (bright, earthy, and beautifully prepared). You can really taste the freshness in every dish. Tal, the owner, was incredibly warm and attentive, which made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. It's rare to find a spot that feels this authentic and cared for--definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. read more

Amazing food every thing is fresh and flavor packed. Babaganoush is the best in town. I can't wait to go back

A great spot for vegetarians. Everything in the menu was delicious and as a big party of 7, we pretty much ordered everything. The ambiance was very cozy and patio that they have at the back is really pretty. The service was very prompt and they even made us the beets that were no longer on the menu. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!! read more

My friends took me to Mazal for the amazing hummus and Israeli-inspired Mediterranean food selection. The whole experience from entering the restaurant to enjoying the food to leaving with yummy leftovers was such a delight. This experience will be one I'll always remember! We ordered based on my friend's recommendations, which was spot-on to what I enjoy in Mediterranean food. Everything was served hot & fluffy like the pita, or refreshing like the hummus and cauliflower dish. My favorite would be the cilantro turmeric cauliflower dish. I couldn't get enough bites in and it was unlike any cauliflower dish I'm used to. The charred cauliflower with turmeric was the perfect pairing to a bed of cilantro based sauce za'atar labneh to dip. The fun bites such as the borekas and grapeleaves added more delight to the meal. These dishes all have such a warmth and love to them, it made me so happy to eat them! The overall experience at Mazal was great. The food is made with love, the waitresses provided such great service and the outdoor seating was the perfect setting to a fun night with friends. My friends and I had such a great time and my first time here was one to remember. I'll definitely be back with more friends in the future. read more
