4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: March 21 | Eater LA

"A favorite quick and affordable lunch-and-dinner option near the Culver City office, this spot pairs excellent cooking with a top-tier patio and a central location that’s easy to reach. Chef Danny Elmaleh — who opened his first location in Sherman Oaks, developed Cleo, and shaped dishes at Vicky’s All-Day — draws on a Moroccan father, Japanese mother, and an upbringing in Israel to inform the menu; he has also worked with CIM, the major real estate player in West Adams. The food is fun and shareable: chicken shawarma is shaved thin and seasoned with an aggressive spice mix of cumin and coriander, while beef and lamb kofta come in large nuggets, grilled over charcoal, and placed over softened onions and Anaheim chiles. Not quite traditional brunch fare, but a great weekend hang. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
