The Best Restaurants On Melrose Avenue - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The stretch of Melrose between La Brea and Fairfax often smells of car exhaust and Arizona tourists “smoking loud”—or at least until you walk past Zira Uzbek Kitchen. This colorful, family-owned Uzbek spot smells of homey, well-seasoned comfort food, like juicy lula kebab that glistens on the plate, piles of plov seasoned with warm spices, and freshly baked bread that doubles as an extra utensil. Zira is casual enough for a mid-shopping day lunch break but nice enough for a date, so keep this place in your back pocket for any last-minute walk-ins." - brant cox
