I would give Mazal 6/5 stars if I could!!!…read more This food is phenomenal! The Moroccan carrots and hummus are true true standouts. The mushroom shawarma was also absolutely delicious. Also, I think that was the best pita bread I've ever had, period. We also tried the borekas, and they were perfect little bites to begin. We were celebrating my co-worker/mentee's birthday, and they brought her a yummy birthday dessert as well. And we split a great bottle of wine. Mazal is an unsuspecting beautiful experience. We found street parking but we couldn't find the actual restaurant because I just assumed the building was an apartment building. Once we finally walked through the door, inside is so lovely. I LOVE their bar countertop. We sat outside which has great vibes for summer. Cute lighting, all the works. I want to sincerely thank them for a wonderful birthday dinner for my friend. And for the superior service we received. Very warm and inviting. I can't hype up the service here enough. And we accidentally stayed significantly after closing without realizing it because we were tucked in a corner and lost in our conversation so we didn't even see the time, but we were never rushed out the door (to other diners - please do not be like us, I am so sorry we stayed so late without realizing the restaurant had closed, *yes there was another straggling table next to us who were still there as well so that's why we didn't realize the time*) again, so sorry, and thank you for being so accommodating still!

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!

We ordered the chicken kebab and chicken lule, and both were delicious.

The folks behind the counter were so helpful in helping us choose our meals which were well portioned and they wee so friendly! All in all, if you're looking for a casual bite of middle eastern food - this is a great option. Plenty of free parking and a nice, easy, tasty experience.

Strap in, this place is a full experience. I had posted about it and so many people hit me up…read moresaying they've always wanted to try it and live nearby. After going, I get the hype. We started with those super delicate pani puri style poppers. I've seen them on MasterClass and always wanted to try them, so finally getting them here was a moment. Filled with tandoori flavors, chutneys, mint, and a yogurt center that pops in your mouth. So good. Cocktails paired perfectly too. The pickle one and the Purple Rain were both solid gin drinks. Service was great. The bartender and server were both super knowledgeable and helped guide us through everything, which made a big difference with a menu like this. The ambience is beautiful. Big bar in the back, great lighting, a mix of natural and more moody tones that make it feel elevated but still comfortable. For mains, the pot pies are a must. We tried the biryani and the butter chicken versions, completely different but both worth it. Portions are huge, you will have leftovers. The quesadilla with fajita peppers and tandoori chicken was such a cool fusion idea and worked really well. The boneless truffle chicken had this creamy, almost alfredo style sauce with Indian spices that made it super unique. Ended with the saffron noodle pistachio ice cream dessert and that was unlike anything I've had before. Definitely something you try at least once. This is one of those spots where everything feels creative and intentional. I'll definitely be back.

The owner was extremely friendly and I look forward to dining here with more of my vegetarian and vegan friends.

Lastly, the table outside provided unlimited enjoyment as people scrambled for the "best" parking spot in front of the Erewhon and others pretended not to pretentiously judge as they sipped their $20 smoothies. We really loved it and will totally revisit. Thank you Bulan!!

I've tried various Indian restaurants living in LA the past decade, but this is the spot for any…read morecook-free night we have. It is our comfort place. We've been going here for years. Their grocery store has everything you could want in terms of Indian ingredient selection, but the restaurant goes crazy- amazing food. They are under new management now so they're no longer called "India sweets and spices" but they are somehow even better. I've always had a hard time with spicy food and when we used to go in, they would tell us "they're all spicy" (referring to the curry) - and sometimes I'd get lucky and have less spicy curry, and other times I'd have to add a lot of yoghurt. But now they have actual mild options which means we're going there twice as often. The samosas are great (can be spicy too so always ask), the garlic naan is incredible, and if it hasn't changed, you can ask for poori instead of flatbread. The staff is super friendly and hospitality is unmatched. If you come in on Holi they sometimes have a bowl of bright powder for you to bless yourself or your friends with. Genuinely love this place. Always amazing Indian music videos playing inside too.

It took all of my willpower to not purchase the dark chocolate covered McVitties Digestive Biscuits from the UK, they really are wonderful and happy to see them in stock with many other British favorites.
