Went here for lunch with a couple friends the other day and honestly didn't expect to be this impressed. The food was really good. Everything we ordered had a ton of flavor and tasted super fresh. You can tell they actually care about what they're putting out. Service was great too. Friendly, quick, and on top of it without being annoying. Menu feels authentic, and they've got a lot of solid vegetarian options which I appreciate. Nothing felt like a throwaway dish. Everything hit. It's definitely the kind of place you could walk right past, but it's 100% worth going out of your way for. I'll be back! read more

AUTHENTIC!! A small but mighty place to enjoy an amazing obviously fresh meal! I randomly stumbled across this restaurant looking for a place to eat while I was in town. I come to LA regularly for work. I'm a huge fan of Lebanese foods and Mediterranean style cuisines. First of all it is own by a really lovely husband and wife couple. The wife waited on me while I watched the husband make the bread fresh in the open kitchen. As soon as I saw him toss a log of wood into the oven, I knew it was going to be a good meal. I wasn't really in the mood for much bread, but it was suggested I get the "Lebano Oregano" which is a Punic Bread. I havent had it before so wasn't sure what it would like exactly. She also recommended the "Lebano Cream Cheese" which is essentially their version of a Lebneh. The Punic bread was so soft, flavorful and freshly hot from the oven! I smeared the Lebano on it and was just mouth watering deliciousness. I would fly back here just for this combination!! It was incredible. I also ordered the hummus with a side of fresh pita. The pita was also cooked in the wood fired oven and it did not disappoint! The hummus, WOW!!! Someone else commented it was heaven and I have to agree. I'm very picky about my hummus. I travel around the world eating and I'm spoiled for choice. I know good hummus when it hits my mouth. The atmosphere was airy, clean and I love that you can see them making the bread in the wood burning stove! If you're in LA, please do yourself a favor and stop in. Apparently they cater too. I would absolutely use them if I lived here. Holy smokes I wish they had a location where I live. The wife apparently is also a chef who specializes in other cuisines too. They were so humble, kind abs warm. My kinda place. Not pretentious just real down to earth people with incredible food. read more

Dinner at Tabl M was exceptional. You walk into a nice cozy perfectly decorated dining room greeted by the very kind and friendly Chef Muna! It was my and my friend's first time at Tabl M and asked the chef what she recommended...and nothing disappointed! (The kafta plate, cream cheese, the oregano flatbread were a favorite) If you are looking for great Mediterranean food in downtown Los Angeles Tabl M should be on your list! read more

We had dinner here last night and OMG! The best food I've had in a very long time. The service is impeccable and the kindness/generosity of the owners will make you feel at home. Thank you for such a beautiful dinner! Stef read more

TABL M - The best ever and although I didn't photo the eggplant - it was divine!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Amazing local gem at the Bloc! I hope they are able to stay open for a long time. The owners are so sweet and personable. We have been twice and tried so many menu items and they're all so delicious. Most recently, my favorite dish is their pizza! The dough is one of the best and it's definitely because of their wood fire oven. Amazing. The salads are fresh, and I love all the cold mezzas - hummus and mahammara are great. Interior is spacious yet cozy. It's tucked in a quiet corner of the Bloc, so it feels private and homey. Cannot wait to come back for another great meal. read more

Tabl M is a great new addition to The Bloc. It's a bit hidden in the plaza level underneath Uniqlo, but the best restaurants are the ones that hard to find! From the moment you walk in, you are instantly greeted by the aroma of spices, along with a warm welcome from the staff. There is a good amount of seating on the inside along with outdoor patio seating. This is my first time having Lebanese food and it was an amazing experience! Our group ordered hummus with a side of pita bread. The hummus was so fresh! It tasted amazing and also came with a few pita chips. The bread was incredibly fluffy and complemented the hummus so well. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza. Made fresh from their own wood fired pizza oven, the sauce was amazing and the cheese was very cheesing! The bread was soft and fluffy. I took leftovers home and had it late at night- it was still fluffy and soft! For my main meal, I had a chicken shish taouk plate. The chicken breast was seasoned and grilled to perfection. It wasn't dry and each bite was flavorful. The grilled veggies were really fresh. I'm not sure I saw any potatoes in my dish as advertised, but i didn't even realize until I was writing this review. The food was THAT good. Anyways. The rice had a light seasoning that really enhanced the taste. Look, I'm Chinese and I love rice. But this seasoning took it to the next level! Now let's talk about the bread. Usually it's my least favorite item on the plate, but wow. The owners really curated this dish with all the details because this bread was amazing. I didn't realize it had their special hot sauce in it until I bit into it. The hot sauce honestly reminds me of my grandma's hot sauce and so maybe this biased my review? Jk. No, it's really that damn good. A must try! I'm not a sweets person but I was able to try both the chocolate cake and the carrot cake. Both were not too sweet but packed with flavor. How do they do it? Owners Joe and Muna are the nicest couple you will ever meet. They are fun to talk to and you can tell they are very passionate. They definitely put their heart and soul into this restaurant. It's in the decor and it's in the food. I highly recommend eating at Tabl M! read more

After a long conference day exploring downtown LA, TABL M was exactly what I needed. The food was fresh, flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. I ordered the tabbouleh and hummus, and every bite tasted vibrant and homemade. Fresh herbs, balanced seasoning, quality ingredients... you can truly taste the care in the food. The service was impeccable as well -- warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. As someone who loves Lebanese and Mediterranean cuisine, this place absolutely delivered. Healthy, delicious, comforting, and authentic. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Los Angeles. read more

This is delightful little Lebanese restaurant tucked in a corner of The Bloc offers great service and amazing food. Many of the dishes come with various breads, and which they shape and cook on demand in a wood oven, so they come out amazingly fresh. We ordered a couple hot and cold mezza, a pubic bread, and one of the mains, and it made for an exceptional meal. The couple who run the restaurant are friendly and attentive. We keep going back for more, now having eaten there three times. Highly recommended! read more

TABL M - 8" Pepperoni Pizza - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Saturday evening I was getting cold in the courtyard when my teen texted they were still going to get dinner with their friends. Tabl M tucked away in a corner caught my eye. It seems to be run by a friendly couple. I started eating alone then my teens friends parent joined me. We shared the cafe Blanc which as it turns out is not coffee. More of a very fragrant sweetened rose water. I had the red lentil soup with a delicious pita bread. Then wood fired pizza. I saw them get the the wood for the oven. I hope to be back and bring the rest of the family. read more

s a distinctly fresh Mediterranean dining experience, supported by genuinely warm and attentive staff. the Tabbouleh was notably vibrant and fresh, providing a sharp and perfectly seasoned counterpoint to the meal. The daily lentil soup special proved remarkably flavorful, the Shawarma was the most compelling dish on the menu, presenting a uniquely rich profile.

This new place knows how to do Mediterranean/Lebanese food as it is super easy to get to. I took the Red Line from Hollywood/Highland and was there in under 20 minutes. It's right on the first floor of The Bloc Shopping Center in DTLA. I went with two friends and we shared a bunch of dishes. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. We tried: *Hummus - Smooth chickpea purée with tahini, lemon, and olive oil. *Baba Ghannouj - Fire-roasted eggplant blended with tahini and olive oil. *Lebano Garden Salad - A colorful mix of fresh produce tossed with sumac, lemon, olive oil, and crunchy pita bread. *Tabbouleh - Chopped parsley, tomato, onion, bulgur, and lemon. *Batenjein Mekleh - Fried eggplant drizzled with pomegranate molasses, tahini sauce, and parsley. *Tabl M Shawarma - Oven-roasted meat with tomato, parsley, onion, sumac, pickles, radish, and a creamy tahini sauce. *Falafel - Crispy, fried, and donut-shaped made of chickpeas and fava beans, served with fresh greens, lemon, and tahini. *Lebano Oregano Pizza - A simple dish with thyme, sesame seeds, sumac, and olive oil. *Vegetarian Pizza - Topped with tomato sauce, cheese, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, olives, corn, and olive oil. *Baklava - Flaky layers of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts. The Batenjein Mekleh and Lebano Garden Salad were probably my favorite dishes. I wanted to like the Falafel but it was a little to fried for me. Shoutout to the executive chef Muna Fargo, who came by our table and was super warm and welcoming. Everyone was very attentive! Definitely planning to come back soon and try more! If you're in DTLA and craving Lebanese food, this place is worth checking out. read more

10/10 the hospitality was top notch and yet took a backseat to the food. We shared everything and the standouts were the hummus (creamiest I've ever seen), falafel, tabbouleh and mahammara. Absolutely outstanding and we will 100% be back. You'd be missing out if you did go after reading this.... read more

Loved the wood smell and cozy feelings. Food was delicious and great portion. The service was excellent and overall I loved their food and vibe. I will be back for sure for their pizza! I will highly recommend them to anyone who appreciates the cook! read more

Went there for dinner and tried the rose water lemonade and the clay pot Tabl M shawarma dish with a side of fattoush salad. Each and every bite was full of freshness and flavor - the meat was incredibly tender. The Lebanese restaurant is tucked away in a corner of the Bloc (next to the udon place) and I was so happy to find it. You can smell the firewood once you enter the restaurant, which adds even more flavor to the dishes. Can't wait to return and try everything else on the menu...and have everything I had today all over again. Service was also superb! read more

An absolute gem. My colleague and I are from the Midwest and spending one night in downtown LA for a meeting the next morning. The 4.9 rating caught my eye and the reviews seemed authentic and peaked our interest. Right out of the gate this is a 5.0 dining experience. We walked in and were warmly greeted by Chef Mona and her husband Joe. The interior is comfortable, clean, and well designed. Neither my friend or me had much experience eating Lebanese cuisine so we asked for their help in giving us a quick overview of the menu and dishes they were most proud of. We started with the Lahm bi ajeen Punic Bread (Lebanese flatbread cooked in a wood burning stove with fresh handmade dough). This punic bread is a mildly spiced minced beef & vegetable Lebanese pizza. We also enjoyed the Baba Ghannouj with freshly made pita bread. I wanted to lick the bowl it was so good. For dinner we ordered the Lebano Garden Salad and two orders of the shish Tauk (grilled chicken served with Rice and marinated grilled vegetables and chili bread. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Oh and for my drink I had the most refreshing ice tea & lemonade. The tea and lemonade were homemade with fresh ingredients including mild herbs. It was sublime. Chef Mona and Joe surprised us at the end with fresh homemade Lebanese baklava. It was the perfect sweet treat to close a truly memorable dining experience. I waited 24 hours to write this review. One day later I am so happy we decided to try something new. I feel like I was welcomed into Chef Mona and Joe's home, but yet both are skilled and experienced restaurant professionals. They are so proud of Tabl M and they should be. They create a warm, inviting environment and deliver a truly memorable dining experience. Oh and if you are wondering about pricing - it is one of the best dining values I can remember. LA - give Tabl M a shot. You can thank me later! read more

Didn't get a chance to snap pics (I know, rookie move ), but I had to leave a review because this place truly touched my heart. From the moment we walked in, Joe and Mona made us feel like family. The hospitality here is on another level--so warm, so genuine, and full of laughter. You can just feel the love they put into everything. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, and the food... absolutely incredible. Some of the best Lebanese food I've had in downtown LA--every bite felt homemade and full of flavor. We ended the night with something sweet, and it was the perfect finish to such a beautiful experience. If you're looking for amazing food and even better people, this is the spot. Can't wait to come back read more

We stumbled upon Tabl M on a rainy day near our hotel, and it turned out to be such a hidden gem. We didn't expect much at first, but we were pleasantly surprised by how amazing the food was. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Even my child, who normally doesn't like mushrooms, tried the mushroom soup and loved it! That alone says a lot about how good their flavors are. To finish, we had the baklava and the chocolate balls, and both were outstanding, the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal. Great food, service, cozy atmosphere, and a lovely surprise overall. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby! read more

high quality ingredients and a really nice atmosphere. unfortunately for my friend and i, the food didn't live up to our expectations. the salad gave us a lot of hope but our main courses just felt very unmemorable and bland. i had the beef shwarma and the bread was plain, the beef felt a bit uninspired and dry, and it overall just wasn't the juicy, bold dish i would expect from this kind of place. maybe we went on an off day, because everyone seems to like it, but i was very underwhelmed read more

Everything was delicious, especially the pizza! Service was great. Will be back next time I'm in town.

Excellent!! From beginning to end, the experience at Tabl M was superb. The food is authentic; made with quality ingredients, presented beautifully, and incredibly satisfying. The tabbouleh is top tier!! The hummus was luxuriously creamy, smooth, and flavored perfectly. The pita bread was so fresh and hot from the oven, it was too good to be true! Everything else we had was simply excellent. And don't forget dessert. The chocolate cake and cinnamon roll can bring happiness to anyone's soul! Tabl M represents Lebanese food in a way that makes Lebanese people proud. If you are looking for authentic LEBANESE food, Tabl M is a must try. read more

The food at Tabl M is absolutely delicious! One of the best authentic dining experiences you can have in DTLA.

What an unexpected gem! We ordered a ton of food and everything was phenomenal... we especially, especially loved the Lebano Oregano + Lebano Cream Cheese combo, which was highly recommended by the chef and we are glad we listened to her! The hummus is some of the creamiest, richest I've ever had. The cheese rolls and fried eggplant starters were great and highly recommend those, the eggplant dish in particular had some flavors I don't think I've ever had! The chef and her husband are so warm and you can tell they put a lot of heart and pride into the food. Highly recommend! read more

Love this new spot. Foods great, atmosphere is great, staff is really polite. We ordered the Brasaola pizza, Muhammarah, Tabouleh, Kafta, and the Batenjein Mekleh. All of it was excellent.
