Loved the food and service from Mia! She was quick with service and attentive. But the new apron uniforms in my opinion arent tasteful and professional. They look tacky and uncomfortable. read more

Wow wow wow. I honestly have no words. The food was amazing, every bite was so good and perfectly made. And the atmosphere... wow. Such a great place to be, comfortable, special without trying too hard. Hands down one of the best places in LA, if not the best. I left with a huge smile and a feeling that I enjoyed every single moment. Definitely coming back again and again read more

Honestly, one of the best steakhouses I've ever been to. Every single dish was better than the one before -- the meat was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every bite. The service was excellent -- super friendly and professional staff who made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with nice lighting and music that set the perfect mood. Yes, it's a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth every penny. I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

Next Door in Los Angeles has a lively, celebratory atmosphere and truly top-notch food - ideal for a special night out. We began with the bluefin tuna sashimi and beef carpaccio, both elegantly executed. For mains, we shared the Arayes, Short Rib, and Ragu Fettuccine - each dish rich and well-seasoned, with the mint in the Arayes coming through beautifully and adding to the overall complexity. Cocktails were equally impressive - the Kokolychee with rum and coconut was smooth and tropical, while the For Goodness Sake with cucumber, sake, gin, and lime was crisp and refined. Service was attentive and polished, enhancing the experience without ever feeling rushed. The whole table savored every bite and agreed this is hands down one of the best kosher restaurants we've ever been to. read more

Staff is very nice and helpful at this kosher certified meat eatery that is very romantic and hip with both indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations are recommended. Street parking and valet parking are options. They have Monday night where they do delicious sushi. The regular menu is anything but regular. It has a lot of variety. The pricing is a little up there but you are getting quality yummy food. A great spot for date night and special occasions. Will definitely be back. read more

As a foodie who both cooks and looks for local eats, this place is a gem. It's a Kosher version of Levant cuisine, and in my opinion one of the best kosher places in this city. From flavor to presentation, this place excels in all marks. My family ordered everything off the menu for my uncle's birthday. The beef carpaccio was not what I was used to in terms of "carpaccio". But I was told that salt cured (the original) meats aren't necessarily kosher. But everyone at the table seemed to like the spin on it. Here's what was my favorite. They made chicken kabobs with fava beans, a tomato based sauce, and a vegan yogurt style dip. This was absolutely to die for. Everything else was great and I'm rather impressed by this place. Good job! read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants in LA! From the moment you walk into Next Door, the ambiance immediately stands out. The lighting is warm and inviting, the decor is modern yet cozy, and the entire atmosphere feels upscale but still comfortable. It's the perfect place for a special night out, a birthday dinner, or even just a classy evening with friends. The food is absolutely incredible. Every dish is beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can really tell that they use high-quality, fresh ingredients, and everything tastes thoughtfully prepared. The menu has such a unique and delicious selection, and each bite feels like a full experience. It's the kind of place where you're already planning what you'll order next time before you even leave. The service is also amazing. The staff is attentive, professional, and welcoming, making sure you feel taken care of throughout the entire meal. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but it is 100% worth the money. You're paying for top-tier food, a beautiful atmosphere, and an overall unforgettable dining experience. If you're looking for one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, this is it. Highly, highly recommended! read more

We came as a group of nine to celebrate a friend's birthday, and unfortunately it turned into a really disappointing experience. The Jerusalem mix was stiff, the meat in the hummus was dry, and the whole branzino was completely drowned in sauce, which took away all the flavor. The bagel was fair, but overall the food just didn't match the high prices. The place has a nice ambiance, but the service really ruined the night. Our server elbowed one of our friends by accident and never apologized, kept speaking Hebrew even after we asked several times to switch to English we had guest that dose not speak Hebrew , and ignored my drink order completely. For a birthday dinner, that kind of treatment just felt careless and disrespectful. We were all so disappointed, especially since we came in excited to celebrate. Sadly, after this experience, I'll never be back. They have only 20% top as the Lowest and I even regret giving that if I could not that I wouldn't tip I would ask for a manger as well. read more

The food here is great , you can't really go wrong with anything but the short rib pasta was my favorite dish on the menu. It is very flavorful and delicious . They also have music inside and an outdoor patio if you prefer more quiet atmosphere . The selection of kosher wine is amazing as well. Their Pinot noir is one of the best I best I ever had read more

Moroccan cigars and great food! I'm in heaven The ambience is lively yet warm. Everyone is welcome at next door. I've been here approximately five times each time with a larger group and the last time I was with a group of eight which they were easily able to accommodate. One of my friends was breast-feeding and they even took the time to help her find a safe space to do so. Above and beyond ! Food 5/5 Ambience 10/5 read more

The are one thing to say WOW for kosher restaurants and for that matter any restaurant that is the best out of all every bite was amazing something I never has before and I bean around many quality restaurants THAT IS THE BEST worth every dollar I spent. read more

Great food, even better service Tried this spot for the first time and was really impressed. The food was super fresh and flavorful - everything came out quickly and was cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly and checked in just the right amount. I especially want to shout out Natalie - she was genuinely so sweet and helpful, made great recommendations. Definitely coming back soon. read more

This is a follow up response to my first review to the owner..... Thank you for your response, but I have to respectfully disagree with several points you made -- many of which are either inaccurate or intentionally misleading. First, no one in our group brought in outside alcohol. We inquired beforehand about the option to pay a corkage fee for bottle service and were denied. At no point did we sneak drinks into the venue as you claim. The accusation that we were "pouring tequila in the parking lot" and re-entering is absolutely false and frankly offensive. If there's surveillance footage, we ask that it be reviewed honestly and not twisted to suit a narrative. Second, the interaction about the music was never about taking over the playlist. We kindly asked if we could hear a few Persian songs to help set the mood for the birthday celebration. Instead of a polite decline, your staff escalated it into a confrontation -- completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Saying you played "several Persian songs out of respect" is simply not true. As for the candle situation -- your staff told us there were no candles left, then minutes later we watched candles being brought to another table at the request of your manager. That's not a misunderstanding; that's clear favoritism and deception. Regarding tipping: Our group tipped generously. My brother personally gave the waiter $100 on top of the group tip. The birthday girl paid the bill and left an additional gratuity. The total amount tipped was over $400 -- well above the standard 20%. Yet the waiter still had the audacity to approach two women in our group and aggressively demand even more money. That's completely unacceptable and crosses the line from "poor service" to harassment. And finally, to claim we "celebrated, danced, and smiled" is not proof we had a good time. We made the most of our night because we were there to celebrate someone special. Our joy came in spite of the treatment we received -- not because of anything your staff or management did. We left deeply disappointed, mistreated, and frankly uncomfortable -- and I stand by everything I said in my original review. Let me be honest for future patrons reading this: If you're Persian, or not part of the crowd this restaurant "favors," expect to be treated like second-class citizens. We left feeling not only disappointed, but also insulted -- and that is something we won't forget. The food was subpar (fatty steaks, fish that smelled off, terrible drinks), the service was even worse, and the attitude of the management is beyond arrogant and defensive. It's one thing to have a bad night -- it's another to lie publicly and attack customers who speak out. I would never recommend this place to anyone -- and especially not to my Persian community, who deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect as anyone else. read more

Went to dinner on a Thursday night and this place was overly crowded so much so that when your about to put your fork in your mouth the waiter hits you from the back over and over again. Not to mention them spiling drinks at you. Then a fight broke out with glasses flying, the crowd there is below level. Not worth the price of about 150$ per person read more

Absolutely amazing food. The best I've had in LA! we had a wonderful evening with our server, Noam, who is very knowledgeable and attentive. we came on Wednesday night and there was live music, a guitar player who created a beautiful ambience. We will be back soon! read more

Next Door - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We've dined here many times, and we keep coming back. Next Door is truly unique in the LA food scene. Each time we come there is something new and exciting on the menu that blows us away. The chef has mastered combining fresh herbs with pungent flavor to deliver a meal that always leaves us wanting more. Some of our favs - the Mushroom Gnocchi - ultimate comfort food, Crispy Short Rib Hummus - get every time, The Short Rib main dish - moist and delicious, the INCREDIBLE Green Pasta (even though we sometimes don't wanna be mixing our own food;), the Sea Bream - unbelievable, the Baby Kale Salad - my husband's go-to, the Bluefin Tuna is one of the most amazing bites I've ever taken, and the Chicken Thighs are underratedly so good! This list is long because seriously this food here is incredible. There are some dishes, though, that didn't blow us away as much. The Ragu Fettuccini was delicious a few months ago, but recently hasn't been as flavorful as it used it. We did not find the Burger special - we feel Next Door should have a really good burger and unfortunately they don't. We did not find the Roasted Beet and Fig appetizer and Garden Tomato Salad to be executed super well - even though they're good...they're not great. We love that Monday night there's an entirely different menu - where we have another list of our favs - like the Japanese Buns!! Drinks are always amazing and we love the bartenders there.... Especially Anastasia:)) My one request is that Next Door ups their Dessert game. Unfortunately after an amazing meal, we just can't have the date cake each time!! We need more variety! Please bring back the Pistachio Cream Puffs! Those were amazing. The chocolate mousse is good, but we also are getting bored of it. The other desserts aren't 'bad' but we are looking for some variety - change it up a bit. Thank you for all the incredible servers and managers - you guys always have a smile on your face and we love coming because of you.... and the food;) read more

Absolutely delicious, wonderful service, and great music!! The food is beyond expectations in terms of flavor and some of the best I've had at a kosher meat restaurant. Will be back! read more

Well the evening started amazingly A fresh strawberry tequila based drink that was spicy and flavorful The appetizers included Moroccan cigars with side tahini flavored with true beef flavor The Jerusalem bagel was like a large Italian roll but warm and delicious But we waited and waited and waited for our cowboy steak more than 65 minutes and we waited and waited This was the evening before the Seder and I felt Like I was waiting for the plagues to start The burger that came as large and dry on a soft roll French fries were Fresh and zatar seasoned The wait was incorrigible and horrible Apparently they overcooked the steak and ordered a new one They offered us free drinks and a plate of eggplant carpaccio which was seasoned cooked eggplant herbs and tomatoes with a side of warm bread Apparently the steak was overcooked? How can you overcook a medium steak temperature? I was feeling unloved The place was otherwise bright and loud When the steak finally came I felt like the plagues ended read more

This restaurant knocks it outta the park every.single.time.!!!! Kosher or not, my husband and I are convinced Next Door is the BEST RESTAURANT in Los Angeles. Tonight was our 4th time dining at Next Door. Three of our guests shared the 36 oz Cowboy Steak ($236) and they raved at every bite. Tender and cooked to perfection! I had the burger + fries ($39) and it was delicious! Perhaps the BEST part of our meal were the apps. Sashimi, crispy rice, Moroccan cigars YUM!, and yellowtail - so freakin' good! We also had the lamb chops and kale salad. Amazing! The drinks were perfection, too! We shared a dessert - can't remember the name - it was like a bird's nest with cream, on top of raspberry sauce. Delicious! After tax + 22% tip, our bill came to $805 for the 4 of us. Worth every penny! Absolutely delicious and the service was perfect, too! We will be back! Soon, I hope! Side note: Towards the end of our meal, it did seem like the music kept getting louder + louder, which impedes on conversation and slightly annoying. It felt like the restaurant was turning into a night club. Our meal ended slightly before 9pm on a Monday night, so if you anticipate talking during dinner, come earlier in the evening. read more

Delicious food great vibes. Highly recommended to try their drinks and appetizers. Service is decent.

I've heard about this place and seen their instagram page and thought I'd check it out. It was Sushi Monday which I didn't know they did! They hired sushi specialists that came to make the sushi which I thought was very impressive I ordered the Salmon Dragon roll and it was TOP NOTCH, I'm very grateful I had a patient and knowledgeable server, Noam? He was so so sweet and guided me through this process. Because I wanted to not only indulged in their sushi night but also get a taste of the Israeli cuisine- and to add, the Moroccan cigars. WOAH! It completely renewed my palate, I've never had anything like this so it was very good to try out Mondays are very popular and alive! It got very very busy, and luckily I was able to sit in their cute tented area. I sat by this big beautiful tree and they had lights- honestly so cute and a lot quieter which was great because it was just me. And I have to highlight their managing staff. Before i left, I got a chance to speak to Amir and Sean. I thanked them for making me feel so comfortable and welcomed. And might I add- the professionalism these two displayed, top tier Mondays seem to be one of their popular days and they handled it like pure professionals. High volume restaurant with specific requests from guest can make many crumble, and I've seen it plenty. But these two! Unshakable I do plan on coming back!!!! So basically, yes I recommend 10000000% read more

This experience was alright, the music was so loud on a Saturday night I could barely taste my food. I know the food was good I just left with a migraine so I couldn't say for sure. We had to be switched to sit outside and then they raised the volume out there too. The service was good, waiters were attentive, I'll give them that! Wouldn't come back. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. Tried the rib eye and the Moroccan cigars. Loved it. Also our waitress (Mor) was great.

My friend and I came here last Saturday night for dinner. It was both our first times. I only go to glatt kosher restaurants with her since she is glatt kosher and she said it was her favorite restaurant compared to the other fine dining restaurants we have been to. We sat inside. The decor was cool/funky. We shared the bluefin tuna sashimi which was amazing and very fresh highly recommend it. We each got the burger with zaatar fries and it was the best burger we thought compared to other glatt kosher restaurants. We definitely will come back and even maybe on a Thursday night when they have a DJ. Definitely make advance reservations for Thursdays and Saturdays since those are popular nights to dine. read more
