The Best Arts District Restaurants in Los Angeles

"Consider Bavel Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis’s love letter to the flavors of the Levant. The gorgeous space is packed to the rafters nightly with diners happily sharing large platters of lamb neck shawarma and of course, duck ‘nduja hummus served with the fluffiest pita around. Start any meal here with a selection of spreads like farm cheese with za’atar or baba ghanoush before moving on to appetizers like the flaky malawach or the oyster mushroom kebab. It’s easy to fill up on the rich mains, but save room for a tart or labneh cheesecake for dessert." - Rebecca Roland
