- SShaunavipLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined todayThis place is absolutely my favorite restaurant in LA! Every dish on the menu is delicious. You just can’t go wrong with anything!! My favorites are hummus with pita, king oyster mushroom kebab, grilled prawns, and whole lamb rack. The pita bread is freshly baked and it’s so soft that I want to scream when I dip it in the hummus! The mushroom kebab has a good balance between the smoky flavor and fresh lemon zest on top. The avocado sauce on the bottom also has a refreshing touch to it. And the whole lamb rack - you need to order this. Period. Unfortunately, they don’t have the braised beef cheek with coconut rice anymore… But they now have pomegranate sauced ox tail, which I need to try next time I go. Service is good. My server always checks to make sure everything is good. Every dish is introduced and explained when they are presented to the table. The atmosphere is great as well. The patio seating has heaters on so you don’t get cold at night. I absolutely enjoy every single bit of my dinner at this place every time! Not to mention I really like their hand soap… I need to get those for my own place.More infoBavelPrice: Expensive• Middle Eastern• Downtown•4.8

- LLauravipLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoBestia is a sleek restaurant with an industrial chic vibe. The ambiance of this place is energetic with high end quality food. It is one of my favorite places to go have dinner and the drinks are on point! The food is Italian inspired with innovative flavors making your palate salivate for more! Some of my favorite dishes that I would recommend from the menu are the bone marrow, homemade ricotta, cavatelli, branzino, and the ribeye. Whatever you choose from the menu you won’t be disappointed! I would definitely recommend Bestia over and over again but make sure to get reservations in advance!More infoBestiaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.7
- AAngelLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoThe food is always amazing! The carnitas are fall of the bone tender and the orange glaze is beyond. The venue is super cute but what made the night was out server Denae D. Her personality shines and she can work a table like I’ve never seen before! She charmed my mom and dad, which is not an easy thing to do, and she managed to consistently check on us while managing other tables and being amazing over there as well. 10/10 will return again AND make sure I sit in Denaes area! I hope the restaurant acknowledges the amazing staff they have and keep her for as long as she needs the gig (:More infoLA Cha Cha CháPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Arts District•4.5
