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.

    High quality ingredients and an amazing menu. Brought me back to my childhood with one bite of the biscuit cake. Our server was kind, informative and welcoming. 5 ⭐️

    The food was incredible, loved the shared plates for the table. The ambiance and vibe was cool, eclectic and we felt like we were in a NYC SoHO restaurant. I can’t wait to come back. 10 out of 10.

    Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, and the wait staff was wonderful. The bread (Moroccan frena) is not to be missed. Also amazing was the red snapper schnitzel. Although small, the artichoke tortellini was rich and yummy. We loved the apple salad, and the Malabi sundae was a great way to end the dinner. Super unique menu and very friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. Looking forward to my next meal here!

    The food is very good but the noise level is horrendous. There’s something wrong when you have to ask the waiter three times to repeat what he just said. It would be noisy enough with just the number of patrons and the fact that the tables are close together, but the music, with a very loud, constant unending beat, makes it completely impossible to hear one’s dining partner or anything else. As much as we like the food, we will not go back because this is not the way good dining is really supposed to be. People want to speak to each other during dinner and this is close to impossible.
    CarmelResponded on 17 December 2024
    Thanks you for the feedback, Jane. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our food at Carmel. We're sorry to hear that the noise level affected your dining experience. We appreciate your comments about the music and we're always looking for ways to improve our guests' experience.
