Carmel transports the energy, culture, and flavor of the renowned outdoor marketplace “Shuk HaCarmel” to Melrose Avenue, in the heart of LA’s food scene.

Using some of the oldest techniques in the world— a wood-burning oven, an open flame grill— chef Asaf Maoz interprets ancient Levantine cooking traditions through a modern lens.

Dishes showcase the best of the season: farmer’s market produce, sustainably-sourced meats and seafood, all prepared with the global culinary influence of the Tel Aviv shuk. Breads are baked in-house, including a 72-hour fermented Moroccan Frena, baked to order in the wood-fire oven.

     this is the best place everthst my mom and I have ever been. We have gone to so many restaurants all over the world and this is in our top 20. The food was amazing, especially the shakshukka. Beyond good. the israeli bagel was out of this world and the service was great. Super cute inside and amazing ambiance. Will definitely return!

    Too loud and tables squished so close together you can’t even get up without rearranging the tables. Food is fantastic
