Bavel had been hyped up to me not only by the population of Los Angeles, but also by my two foodie…read morefriends who said this was their favorite restaurant. I heard Bavel is the sister restaurant to Bestia, so I didn't know what to expect because I thought Bestia was overhyped in the sense that it's good but not "THE best restaurant in LA". I can see why so many people love this restaurant. It is not only creatively distinct from the commonly available Italian, Japanese, or Korea restaurants, it also does a great job at the food. Often times I find myself craving something new, something different, something delicious, and Bavel delivered on those fronts. For the dress code - this is LA. And this place is where people like to have fun, go out, socialize, eat good food. As in, people are coming dressed up here. That being said, certain dishes definitely stood out from the crowd, while others were a bit of a let down. Quail - 9/10 absolutely amazing. I've had quail cooked Vietnamese style and quail cooked french style. Bavel's style of quail had tons of spices that create a nice new flavor I've never had with quail before. Hummus Masabacha - 8/10 - I normally don't like hummus, and I enjoyed this hummus. Hummus Duck Nduja - 8/10 Malawach - 6/10 - The crispy bread is what you expect of crispy bread. The creme fraiche and strawberry zhoug just did not pair well with the egg together with the malawach. I've never had a dish like this before so I don't know how it's supposed to be. Oyster Mushroom Kebab 7/10 - it's okay. We were told it would taste like a steak, which I agree it did have the same season as a steak. It was still oyster mushroom. It was good but not outstanding. Baked Alaska 8/10 - I normally don't like to order ice cream for dessert, but this baked alaska was delicious and a creative twist on the baked alaska. I enjoyed every bite. I'd love to go back to try other dishes. I would get the quail again and skip the other dishes so I can new dishes. I would recommend the baked alaska for those who have not had it before.

The food took around 15 minutes to be prepared and came out wonderful. A kind gentleman brought out our plates along with some iced waters. He was extremely polite and served us with a smile and such an amazing attitude! I ordered the falafel and it was delicious!! crispy and delectable. The salad on the side was light and fresh and not to mention the hummus was an amazing pair. Everything tied so so well together. Try this place out for some dinner or a quick bite!

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.

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.

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've had better pita elsewhere, but theirs does the trick for dipping in their fresh dips and I've never left here unsatisfied.
