I had an amazing time at TLV tapas August 15. I celebrated my birthday with my friends! The DJ was amazing! His name is Sasha. I have never heard anything like it! He played the best isreali, persian, arabic music ever! I have heard the other Djs at tapas but he is by far the best! It felt like a club in isreal! read more

12/7/2025 - This is an upscale Kosher restaurant in Tarzana, CA with two floors for dining, which opened 3 years and 2 months ago. It has an elegant and contemporary ambience with an excellent vibe. If you like a vegan dish, must try SALAT HASHUK that is super and healthy - that tastful salad should be good for everyone! The BLUEFIN CRISPY RICE is another 5-star dish that comes with crunchy sushi rice topped with light spicy bluefin tuna. The OYSTER MUSHROOM is another 5-star dish with oily, juicy and thick body. The services are excellent! The overall experience including an awesome ambience should be rated as 5 stars+, although the price of each dish is high, which might be the main reason the Yelp overall rating is at 4.4 A valid parking is available. read more

We went to celebrate a friend's birthday and the experience was absolutely unacceptable. The server was so rude and the food was not what I expected. read more

A very romantic environment for a date! Great food, great service, great EVERYTHING!!!

My mouth is watering just thinking about their food. Everything is curated so thoughtfully, the service is always good, and I love the vibe in here it always feels like a celebration. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu in my opinion. The deal for a group of 7+ people is really great too, definitely ask your server about it. Just remember it's tapas! The best way to go about eating here is ordering a bunch of things for the table and sharing! If you're 2 people, I think around 4 dishes will have you full! read more

I don't what took me so long to get here, but now that I've tried TLV Tapas I will be back...often. I'm already a fan of Tel Aviv Grill, but this restaurant space feels elevated. The decor, music, and feel is definitely a vibe, and yes I feel ridiculous for using that term that too - except it's true! Let's get into the food because we tried a ton of dishes. Spoiler alert - we loved everything we tried, with my favorite being the short rib cigar and bluefin crispy rice. The short ribs are so tender and delicious, which leads me to believe they have been braised for a very long time. The cigar itself was perfectly crunchy and mixed with the tender short rib and dipping sauce made me want 10 more. Bluefin crispy rice at an Israeil tapas bar? Yes! The fish was so fresh and creamy, and the crispy rice was flavorful and crispy without being overly crunchy. Loved the rest of the sushi we tried as well, and they use interesting seasonings (za'atar, sumac) which ties sushi to the theme. We also tried the Zaaluk which is smoked and roasted eggplant with peppers and garlic, which paired extremely well with the chewy and crunchy jerusalem bagel. Also loved the hummus because it was creamier than many I have tried, but still had that satisfying garbanzo sumac flavor I wanted without being overpowering. Lastly, I need to talk about the oyster mushroom which comes on a skewer with an herb gremolata and looks like a meat kabob. It left us wondeirng how a mushroom could be so rich in flavor, meaty, and perfectly grilled as a skewer. There is so much more we tried (and snapped pics of), and tons more I want to try, but you'll have to get down here and see for yourself. Really nice for date nights or eating and laughing with a group of people worth eating and laughing with. read more

My first time coming to TLV was last year for our company holiday party, and I've been back several times since. Everyone in my company loved it so much that we're having our holiday party there again this year. The food is incredible--every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and absolutely amazing. I love the ambience and the overall vibe, and the waiters and waitresses are always spectacular. TLV is a great place to go out with friends, couples, or even for a girls' night out. You simply can't go wrong with TLV. read more

Such a cute spot! A little difficult to get a reservation though, seems quite busy. Rightfully so as everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We wanted to try a bit of everything and our waitress helped us pick a good variety. To drink we ordered the Nights in Tulum which basically is a spicy cucumber margarita. My goodness was this delicious! Refreshing, perfect spice and potent! We asked for tajin instead of salt and they delivered. To we went with the short rib cigar: perfectly crispy and sides complimented it nicely; having tender skewer: succulent and delicious not one crumb left behind; the bluefin lime roll and yellowtail roll: both fresh and had the perfect rice to fish ratio. The quality of the food is amazing and service was great. They ARE on the pricey side however. And when we told them it was our anniversary we weren't offered anything. Not that it's a huge deal but those little details really can make a celebratory night that much more special. read more

Located in Tarzana you can find street parking or there's a parking garage directly across the street Located in Tarzana you can find street parking or there's a parking garage directly across the street. it it's pretty spacious with seating downstairs and upstairs This restaurant left me craving more! When I say every dish was amazing, it truly was! My friend and I stopped by a few days ago for dinner. We got the oyster mushroom, grilled okra, and their specialof the night the Dubai sushi. I can't describe okra. It's a southern dish, but I highly recommend it if you've never tried it, and wow, it was my first time trying the mushroom oyster. You're eating meat. It's grilled and seasoned perfectly. We got the short rib pasta with mushrooms for entrees, and honestly, this might be the best I've ever had!! we had a few other entrées, but you must get the Arias. Overall, everything was a hit from service. Our waitress was Ciara and she was delightful and helpful with suggestions as well as the other staff. I'm already planning a trip to come here again highly recommend it, especially for special occasions. read more

We went to TLV Tapas for the first time last night and absolutely loved it. We've been hearing great things about this place for a while, so we finally decided to check it out--and it definitely lived up to the hype. The décor is beautiful and the vibe is great. I know it turns more nightclub-like on Thursdays and Saturdays, but even on a Wednesday it felt lively and fun. The music was good and there were lots of birthday celebrations, which added to the festive atmosphere. We started with the bluefin crispy rice and the truffle sashimi from the specials menu. Both were good, but honestly I'd probably skip the raw bar next time because some of the other dishes were even better. The short rib cigar and the arais were fantastic. The real standouts were the oyster mushrooms--arguably the best mushrooms I've ever had--and the hanging tender skewer. Both were absolutely delicious and must-orders. We finished with the bread pudding, which was probably the least impressive dish of the night, but overall the meal and drinks were excellent. Huge shout-out to our waiter, Cesar, who made the experience even better. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely great at what he does. When we come back, we'll definitely be asking to sit in his section! read more

We had an amazing time, Cesar was an amazing host. Ambience was nice, food was yummy. read more

TLV Tapas Bar's 2nd anniversary was very tasty. The atmosphere was electric with a live DJ and a lively crowd. The set menu (see photos) featured vibrant Mediterranean flavors, and I had the chance to try: *Jerusalem Bagel - Warm, fluffy, and perfect with za'atar olive oil and tomato purée *Tzatziki - A cashew cheese twist with cucumber, garlic, dill, and chili flakes. *Zaaluk - Smoky fire-roasted eggplant with spicy shushka peppers and garlic confit *Okra - Tossed with lemon, soy sauce, and urfa pepper for a tangy, slightly spicy bite *Oyster Mushroom - Tender, with fresh herb gremolata, citrus, and sumac *Cauliflower Steak - Hearty, with beef demi-glaze, capers, and wild dill *Salat Hashuk - Crisp and refreshing with radish, cucumber, tomatoes, mint, and citrus vinaigrette *Arugula Salad - Peppery and balanced with fennel, pomegranate, beets, pine nuts, and sumac vinaigrette *Chilean Sea Bass - Buttery and perfectly cooked, paired with charred bok choy and Persian lemon Beyond the food, TLV's partnership with the LATTC Foundation made the night even more special, supporting scholarships for aspiring chefs. Overall, a fantastic celebration of food, community, and giving back. Cheers to many more anniversaries, TLV! read more

TLV Tapas Bar - Deserts - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Full disclosure my review is based on being a guest at a party that was held in this restaurant. I have seen this place a lot as I live around this area but first time to go to attend a party. Well first off it's a Kosher restaurant and bar so that tells you that this is probably going to be more expensive than your regular bar and restaurant. The party I attended had about 50 guests and the service was great, servers paid attention to our drinks make sure we keep getting wine (well they sell each bottle so...) and the table setting and prep was really classy. We were served a 4-course meal so the starters, appetizers and salad was a lot. There were probably about 5-7 apps - my favorites are - Jerusalem bagel (so good especially when it was hot) the oyster mushroom skewers were delish the bluefin sashimi was also good and I'm glad my section of the table most of the guests didn't eat the raw fish. For the mains - we were served ribeye steak medium rare and I think it's very well seasoned and cooked right. The branzino was perfect and was a favorite at our side of the table. The desserts were served as well - there's one that stands out - the pistachio - I've never had that before and it was definitely worth a try. Place looks like a high end date night for those who observe Kosher and music is also to their taste. It can be loud for some people but I'm fine with it - definitely giving you that party / late night vibes. read more

Hello... Hello... Is there anyone IN THERE? Just shout if you can hear me... IS ANYONE HOME? This place is either permanently closed, if so, please kindly post it on here.... The website listed hours for dinner until 11:pm We drove all the way there at 8:30 pm. for some "great kosher dining" Place was dark, no hours listed on the door, tried to see if I could reserve a table for another day and NO DAY AVAILABLE.. Wondering if this place is a front? All the five star reviews look fake and same exact excellent detailed "experience" in each one of those. And interesting that the 1 star reviews the reply from owner was "We have so many five star reviews!" No apology, no "hey, I'll check in with my staff and see what happened" They just wasted our time, gas, etc by not being honest and listing no hours, looks like it's just a shut down place operating something else. read more

Came here to celebrate my boyfriends son's birthday. We came on a Thursday. The restaurant messaged me a couple of times about their 21 and over on Thursday. Since me and he's dad are there it was OK. We did Valle parking. We got there on time and they took us in right away. We sat on the mezzanine level. It was nice to be able to see the whole beautiful restaurant. They had a great DJ and people were dancing at the entrance later on in the evening. I loved the ambiance and the service was really good. The drinks was so delicious and they even had great tasting mortals. The food was amazing. And the desserts were so good, we ended finishing the desserts even though we were so full. read more
