"The second location Mizlala in West Adams is a little more casual than the original in Sherman Oaks, but if you're coming with a large group this works in your favor. You can all order at the counter, grab some pickled sides from the bar, then stake out one of the big tables on their covered, light-strung patio. The menu of Israeli dishes here is small, but it’s hard to go wrong: there’s great, salty chicken shawarma, and very good spiced kefta. You can get any of the main proteins in a pita, on a salad, or as a plate with rice, hummus, and veggies. Don’t skip the sides, either—the fried broccoli and Brussels sprouts are both fantastic." - Sylvio Martins, Brett Keating
