Levant Bistro + Bake Shop

WOW. Seriously impressed by this dedicated gluten free Lebanese restaurant and bakery. Authentic flavors and delicious food. Favorites were the Egg Pie and Lahmajeen. The dough was so fluffy and delicious. Hadn’t had Knafeh in ages, really good not too sweet. If you’re Celiac, GF or just want great food that’s easy on the tummy you have to try this place.

So much food for the price. I really enjoyed the spiced crusted chicken and my friend got an off the grill with lamb and the lamb was perfect. My only complaint is they didn’t have the dessert I wanted to try but everything was perfect. I would come here again the atmosphere is amazing and parking was ample on a Thursday night. The service was great too. The staff is lovely and very attentive.

Everything was 10/10. Amazing, strong flavors, beautiful presentation, super allergy friendly. This gluten free and dairy free eater was able to eat a lunch where her non-gf friends enjoyed the food as much as she did. The flatbread (manoush) was so soft and pliable, I was surprised it was gluten free. Everything on the menu is 100% gluten free and they have a lot of dairy free versions. Free parking out front if you’re lucky and some side street parking as well. We ordered the goat fig manoush, short rib scramble, and eggs and batata harra. All were super tasty. The rose cake is seriously amazing. My spouse loved the gf DF bread pudding, and the baklava tart is a short bread tart with subtle good flavors. I highly recommend. Bruce was an amazing server with attention to detail.

Came for lunch. After scouring the Dine LA offerings, my friend found this place. We both loved the flavorful food with generous portions. She is a vegetarian and we both found great options. My fave was the pistachio carrots with labneh.

The food here is DELICIOUS. The entire menu is dedicated gluten free, even the beer. The staff were friendly, mellow, and clearly proud of their food (and they should be). I had the garlic bread (comes in a sizzling hot skillet with crispy edge of cheese all around), the shawarma hummus with veggies (delicious), and the trio of sambousek (cheese, spinach, and chicken + goat cheese). The bread is warm and light and chewy just the way you want it to be. The flavors are excellent. Got the Lebanese coffee too and it’s two cups worth! Spacious interior and great outdoor patio seating with a gentle cross-breeze and plenty of trees and umbrellas for shade. Very relaxed atmosphere overall.

Chicken kabob was okay. Pretty dry all together. In addition, the chicken itself didn’t taste great chard taste over power the whole dish. Felt like I bit into charcoal on some bites. Favorite part was hummus and pickles with warmed crispy pita bread.

**(4.5/5) Levant Bistro and Bake Shop: A Near-Perfect Mediterranean Gem ** Nestled in the heart of the city, Levant Bistro and Bake Shop is a delightful fusion of vibrant Mediterranean flavors and cozy ambiance that transports you straight to the sun-drenched coasts of the Levant. From the moment you step inside, the aroma of freshly baked flatbreads, spiced meats, and sweet pastries envelops you, promising an authentic culinary adventure. I visited on a bustling weekend evening, and the warm lighting, rustic wooden tables, and friendly staff created an inviting atmosphere perfect for a casual dinner or a sweet treat stop. The bistro menu shines with its bold, herbaceous dishes. I started with the fattoush salad—crisp greens, tangy sumac, pomegranate seeds, and toasted pita crisps that added the ideal crunch. It was refreshingly light yet packed with flavor. The star of the show was the lamb kofta platter: juicy, perfectly seasoned ground lamb skewers served with fluffy rice, garlicky tahini, and a side of pickled vegetables. Each bite was a harmonious blend of smokiness, spice, and freshness that left me savoring every morsel. The portions are generous, and the prices feel fair for the quality—around $18-25 for mains. Venturing into the bake shop side, the display case is a temptation overload: flaky borek, pistachio-laden baklava, and the infamous knafeh. I couldn't resist the knafeh, a cheesy pastry soaked in rose-scented syrup and topped with crushed pistachios. Sadly, this was the one misstep—mine tasted slightly rancid, likely from old cheese or oil, which dulled the otherwise heavenly sweetness. It knocked what could have been a 4.7/5 experience down to a solid 4.5. The baklava, however, redeemed the sweets with its buttery layers and nutty perfection. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the outdoor patio is a bonus for people-watching. Levant excels in the bistro department, delivering consistent, soul-warming meals that make it a standout. I'd absolutely return—and next time, I'll stick to the savory bistro offerings while eyeing safer pastry picks. If you're craving Middle Eastern cuisine with heart, this spot is a must-try. Just double-check that knafeh!

Couldn’t be happier with our meal and service at Levant. I’m gluten free and my boyfriend is Lebanese and we were both blown away. We had the cheese bread, spinach sambousek, lamb kibbeh, and zaatar + labneh. I was also so excited to finally have a good GF beer. The staff and owner were all so sweet and great to talk to. Really can’t wait to go back and try all of the dishes. Highly recommend!!!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Levant Bistro and Bake Shop, and it was an experience worth savoring. One of the standout items was the lahmajeen. It was superbly crafted, with flavors that were both rich and perfectly balanced. It truly offered a delightful taste of the region, making it a must-try for any visitor. Complementing the meal was their exquisite coffee, which was brewed to perfection. It had a robust flavor that wasn't too overpowering, providing a soothing accompaniment to the meal. The atmosphere at Levant is another highlight it's remarkably peaceful, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed dining experience. The service was impressively fast without sacrificing quality, ensuring that everything arrived promptly and with a smile. To cap off the meal, I indulged in their apple crumble for a little dessert, which was simply delicious. It provided a sweet and satisfying conclusion to an already wonderful dining experience. Overall, Levant Bistro and Bake Shop is truly a gem, offering delightful cuisine in a serene setting.

Second time and the service and food are still amazing. It is an amazing great place to visit and try different plates. The ambiance is super cool (beautiful music selection too) A place with a pin on our roadmap for sure!

I took my husband here since it's fully gluten free and we had a fantastic time! Its such a cool place inside and they have a nice outdoor area as well - we ate outside. Everyone was so so kind and attentive to us. Truly fantastic customer service! I got the chicken kabob with pita and garlic whip too. We shared the garlic cheese bread and spinach and cheese sambousek. I really liked the cheese one. My husband got the sausage manoush. I could not taste the difference in bread (im not gluten free) at all because it was so soft and fluffy and not dry at all. The only thing i could tell the difference in was the pita, but i still snarfed all my pieces. Excellent hummus and garlic whip! My chicken was not dry at all and a good portion size too. We ended up taking some home! Unfortunately neither of us were wild about the baklava "tart" which i felt bad for my husband because i dont think hes ever had baklava and i love it. I would love to come back for brunch!! Despite its location there is actually parking (gasp). So please make sure to visit here if you love lebanese or are gluten free!

This place is one of Echo Park's precious gems! Boss lady (mom) and I love it. We always have to order their hummus with shawerma which is to die for! Very well seasoned with pickled red onion and lemony flavored. Trust me I'm salivating just thinking about it! Some of other favorite stuff from here are their sambousek which is Lebanese style empanadas. The lentil and veggie turmeric soups are comforting and hearty. The ambiance is so nice and armonious that you can totally feel how everyone around you is enjoying their food. My all time favorite stuff from here is no doubt their knafeh. It tastes both doughy and with the crunchiness of the kataifi, the not overly sweetness of the syrup with hint of rose extract and crushed pistachios perfectly balance with the cheese inside! I swear this place's knafeh should be on top 10 of best desserts in LA... not only of LA but of the entire country! I'd totally have it as part of my last meal ever! Everyone in here is so nice and attentive. Clean restroom and parking onsite as it is located in a plaza with other businesses but street parking is another option. Go try this place and if you order their knafeh please dedicate a bite to yours truly.

A friend of mine with gluten sensitivities was interested in trying Levant Bistro + Bake Shop and I was happy to accompany her. The restaurant is open, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, and the menu is expansive, organic, and seasonal. The owner was our server, and he was warm, friendly, and happy to answer questions and make recommendations. I started off with an iced oat chai, which was nicely spiced and not too sweet. My friend and I both went for the Lamb Kafta wrap and enjoyed it. It was super fresh and bursting with flavorful herbs and spices. The texture of the pita was unbelievably soft and I forgot many times that it was gluten free. We also tried their cinnamon roll, chocolate hazelnut brookie (which reminded me of a Ferraro Rocher candy) and a baklava tart. All were quite tasty and we were so eager to try that I forgot to snap a pic. A yummy spot for those with celiac and those without.

Staff friendly. Food delicious. The salmon pizza and the spread were some of the best items I've ever had. Highly recommend to anyone! The place is bright with window walls and ample light throughout.

This place was delicious and definitely worth the parking hassle. We thought there would be easier parking because there was a parking lot but there are other high traffic businesses in the same lot so it was busy. I found parking on San Fernando and there is an opening that opens to the back area as well with outdoor seating. The staff was really friendly and answered questions. We tried the egg pie, flat bread, fattoush salad, meze plate. The cheese filled bread on the meze plate was my favorite and so good. Also amazing that everything is gluten free?! There were plenty of vegetarian options and delicious drinks. I tried the peach Italian soda and loved that real fruit puree was used. The egg pie was very good but a little dry. You can add toppings to it which may have been better. It was a nice peaceful lunch with friends and great food. Definitely a place to try!

Despite being understaffed when we visited, the food and ambiance were spectacular! I left a very happy camper. As someone who's gluten intolerant my usual restaurant checklist is no cross contamination, no cardboard flavor and please let there be something I can eat and this place checked every box. I've also really missed being able to sip on a beer while I eat, so getting to do that here made the experience even better.

Dined here for lunch. They have a lot but its kinda small and its shared with lots of other restaurants. Your best bet is street by the school or metered. My wife and I shared a few dishes and all of them were pretty good. My only complaint is that it was a busy Friday rush and literally had 1 person doing the waiting, serving, cleaning, bartending, etc. so service took long - but not the mans fault they are understaffed.

Ordered DoorDash from here for the first time last night. Here's what I tried: -Grilled Chicken Tawook: the green sauce on here is so good! 10/10 for the sauce but the chicken was a bit too dry. -Garlic Herb Bread: cheesy, crispy edges, buttery goodness. I'm not gluten free but would happily order this over and over. Arrived piping hot and fresh and I'm thinking about reordering as I'm writing this -Chocolate cake: again, I'm not on any dietary restrictions and this cake was still so decadent and rich for a vegan dessert. Absolutely would order again as well! Overall very solid, healthier menu options here - looking forward to trying some of the other items!

Great stop into LA. Amazing delicious fresh food. **Gluten free restaurant good for those with celiac. Including beer! Also clearly labeled menu for other dietary restrictions. (DF-dairy free, nf-nut free, ef, egg free). Pita bread was gf delicious when warm but hardens when cold, typical of gf breads. Service this day was a little slow, one waiter working all the tables for inside and outside eating. But it was fine, we were in no rush. Waiter was friendly and working hard to care for the needs of the patrons. We sat outside. The weather was pleasant and seating was shaded by the trees. We ordered the mezza sampler ($23), the lamb kibbeh ($18), extra pita ($4), off the grill lamb kafta ($23). Gf beer - ipa. Loved our food. This day we saw people ordering the sandwiches, so I want to try that next time. Parking lot was full but we managed to find a spot. There was security for the parking area so we felt safe leaving our car full of luggage in the back. (Always park at your own risk). Overall great experience and will definitely hit this spot when next in LA.

Food was an explosion of flavors that blended perfectly and I was in gluten free heaven!

Levant Bistro and Bake Shop is an absolute gem! We came on a Friday night without a reservation (which is recommended) and were lucky to get seated in the bar area overlooking the kitchen. Watching the chefs put together the dishes added to the experience, and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Everything here is gluten-free, making it a dream spot for anyone with dietary restrictions but a love for carbs. We had the merguez sausage, a Lebanese flatbread with cheese and sausage, and for dessert, the knafeh and baklava tart--all of which were absolutely delicious. The ambiance was warm and welcoming! The owner, Danny, was so welcoming and took the time to explain the dishes and their incredible coffee selection. You can tell the passion and care that goes into everything they serve. Can't wait to come back!

Always incredible; easy for celiac & vegetarian and vegan options - incredible Lebanese food with everything homemade. Their pastries and desserts are to die for. Easy for brunch (no vegan options for brunch) and great for lunch and dinner. Notes vegetarian/ vegan/ nut free on menu - fantastic service and beautiful patio!

We love this place! We live in San Diego, but we drive up to L.A. to eat here. The garlic cheese bread is to die for, and we love the cheese sambousek, which we eat with either shwarma or kofta, both of which are delicious! Make sure you get a side of their garlic sauce, which goes well with everything! We also make sure to get falafel every time. And the HAZELNUT BROOKIES!!! To die for. The outdoor seating area is lovely, sitting under the shade of the olive trees. So glad this restaurant exists!!!

I've been here a few times and I think that the vibe is quiet and tucks you away from the echo park grime but not extra ordinarily transformative. The food is okay but not out of this world either. And as far as the service goes, is at its best, okay. There always seems to just be one person working the whole floor along a manager who just deals with the wine. My last visit on Tuesday might just be my last in a while. The mediocrity of it all just became more disappointing when my friend commented on the wine not being cold enough and the somm/manager didn't seem that interested in making things better.

Everything is gluten free here, which is very cool. Happy hour 3-6pm Tuesday - Friday $3 off their mezze, apps. Pancakes with chocolate chips was very filling but not my favorite. The servers were great and attentive. Parking lot is there but good luck! Had to park 3 blocks away.

We are a usual here. Love everything on the menu! The coffee is great as well unlike most other restaurants.

I'm going to start by saying that this place is amazing. All of the food is super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff is very friendly and offered great suggestions for dishes and wines to try. This restaurant has a sultry middle eastern inspired vibe. My table had the herb crusted chicken, chicken kabob, and knafeh. The herb crusted chicken was delicious, the herbs were strong yet well balanced and the chicken was very juicy. The potatoes that come with are delicious and pair well with the garlic sauce. The chicken kabob was very flavorful and the Lebanese rice had a warm cinnamon flavor. The knafeh was really really nice, the pistachios were crunchy and fresh and the rose petals had almost a jammy flavor. Overall this place is absolutely worth a visit!

Delicious food and drinks! I'm gluten free so it was nice to relax. We sat outside in the shaded patio and our server was warm and upbeat. The owner even stopped by to ask how we liked everything. My husband had the Bellini cocktail and I had the juniper cucumber Collins mocktail, very refreshing. We ordered the Mezza sampler as an appetizer and I was very happy with the pita bread. My husband couldn't tell the difference! The falafels and sambousek were tasty with a nice texture. My husband ate up the olives and the tomatoes. For dinner hubby had the braised short ribs and I had the halibut, very flavorful! Must see the beautiful presentation! For dessert we sampled the knafeh, rose cake and the baklava tart. Hubby also ordered a French vanilla latte and said it was delicious. We were very pleased with our meal and desserts. I'm so glad I found this Lebanese bistro!

Beautiful experience sipping Lebanese coffee in this hidden gem, garden setting off of Sunset. Take a detour and delight in their gluten free baked goods too. Getting the rose pistachio muffin to go! Thank you, @Michelle_merchantservices

I love this place! The food is incredible, the servers are kind, and the place is beautiful! As someone that isn't gluten free but eats out a lot with people who are gluten free, it's nice to be able to share and enjoy everything (including bread and baked goods)!

This place could easily be a five-star restaurant if they had a bit more staff. The team that is here does an excellent job, the food is delicious, and the lavender latte is a must-try!

What a gem! Levant Bistro & Bake Shop is a delicious, fully gluten-free kitchen tucked away in Echo Park. The outdoor patio is absolutely lovely -- olive trees, warm sunlight, and an easy, relaxed vibe that makes it the perfect spot for lunch. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food is fresh, flavorful, and great for sharing. We ordered a spread of appetizers, flatbreads, and entrées -- everything came out beautifully presented and piping hot. The mezze sampler, artichoke flatbread, halloumi, and fattoush salad were all standouts. I'd skip the fig and goat cheese flatbread next time -- it leaned a little too sweet for my taste. The drinks here are just as thoughtful as the food. The lavender honey latte over ice was a total crowd pleaser -- lightly floral, not too sweet, and super refreshing. We ordered a chocolate cake to go, and hours later, it was still decadent and rich. Overall, a gorgeous, welcoming spot with vibrant Mediterranean flavors and great vibes all around.

Pleasant, sweet vibes all around. Service is serene, funny, and kind but can be slow sometimes. Food is good but the desserts excellent. We first ordered the octopus. Far from the best and it was tad too citrusy but the char on the octopus made up for it. The tentacles were the best part. We then got the grilled mixed plate. Lamb was great and gamey and cooked well. The rice loose and a tad unseasoned. The real star of the dish was the baba ganoush. We also got the fig and cheese manoush which was decent but nothing special. It added a nice finish to our meal. For our dessert we got the baklava tart which was quite the best. Had hints of rose and the texture was a nice balance of dense and soft and was not too sweet. Excellent pistachio flavor and delicate flavor all around. Would definitely come back to try more dishes. Nutella latte was also good.

Delicious. Food is incredible! I came here to celebrate my boss and her work anniversary, my team had the cutest working lunch/brunch. They got the pancakes and the egg quiche pizza dish. I can't wait to come back to try those as well! This is such a cute spot to work from, date night, girly brunch really any occasion. The vibe is super dreamy inside, clean decor, plants hanging it's like you're in a garden. Parking...I mean it's on sunset so if you get lucky you get lucky lol other than that it's definitely worth trying.

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is very welcoming. The food is spectacular!!! I don't live in this area and will definitely be back!!! As a celiac, I truly enjoyed everything

If you are gluten-free and never tasted bread, that was gluten-free and amazing. I recommend this place! I have ordered the egg pie, the cheese empanada, salad , hummus and pita bread! Everything was delicious! My boyfriend couldn't tell the difference between gluten-free bread from here and regular bread! I recommend this place to anyone that is gluten-free or not!

Wonderful place and staff. They are soy and gluten free automatically. Beyond that, they have markings for vegan, vegetarian, dairy, and nut free options on the menu. And one step further, they were even able to tell me what had potato (including starch and flour) or parsnip in it as I'm allergic to those as well. I ate here twice. First time with only one other person and next day with 4 other people. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food and enthusiastically consume it and mine was wonderful and didn't negativity impact my gut or my vacation! On top of that, the waitress we had was super kind, patient, and looked everything up for me to see if I could have it. I've bookmarked the place for future trips. My only wish would be having a few options that used something other than potato flour for the dessert that remained stocked past breakfast. I never did get to try the hazelnut item that was the only non-potatoed dessert since it was sold out both days lol!

Lovely, upscale ambiance with a bar! The knafeh was top tier and service was extremely friendly. I want to try their main food next time I'm in the area.

While visiting in LA - I was looking for the best gluten free lunch and I found it! The food was amazing. I have been celiac for 15 years and the cheesy garlic bread was incredible. I wish I lived closer - I would be there all the time. I was by myself and sat at the bar. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended some of his favorites as I was completely overwhelmed by having too many choices - the entire menu is gluten free. Some other people were there celebrating a birthday and I think it would be perfect place for someone with dietary restrictions as you could order a gluten free cake. I hope next time I am in LA to return with my husband. He did get to try some of my leftover bread and thought it was very good.

OMG they have a parking lot! What a wonder for this part of town! It's a shared passing lot for the plaza, but a lot more spaces than I would have guessed from the outside. I parked on the street because I didn't know, but never time I will use the lot! Amazing. The space is bigger than expected, very nice, bright and beautifully appointed. This is an upscale casual place, imo. They have a nice generous space outdoor patio in a shady alcove with umbrellas & trees. I would definitely eat out there on a less windy day than the one I dined here on. I came at an off hour and basically had the staff all to myself everyone who helped me put checked on me was very kind, friendly, knowledgeable and made great recommendations. I got the goat cheese & fig flat bread and the shawarma hummus. The shawarma is grass fed and it was SO delicious. I'd get that again in a heartbeat! Excellent spices all around and came with a choice of vegetables or pita, so I chose the veggies, which were carrot & celery sticks. The fig & goat cheese flat bread was too sweet for me - a dessert flatbread! If you love fig and sweet things, tho, this is definitely for you! They were generous with all the toppings. There was a ton of fig on there and lots of walnuts, which I loved. The flatbread dough was so good, though. Did not taste gluten free at all. Lovely texture and flavor. I would try other more savory flat breads here in the future! So happy to have more and more fully alternative diets restaurants available where I can relax knowing that I don't have to read ingredients as carefully or ask as many questions... And if I do have questions, they will have answers! Such a relief. Thank you!

I just adore this spot. Check out its little outdoor patio, hidden off to the side. The lentil soup and turmeric soups are excellent starters. The mezze platter is yummy. I got the eggplant sandwich, and while not enthralling, was pretty. The bakery items --- worth saving space for!!! Lots of vegan goodies too. The parking lot is kinda a scene, but if patient you can nab a spot. There is a Starbucks, Chipotle, and Hamburget Habit among other busy, high turnover businesses. This place is a bit emblematic of the gentrification of the hood. A good and bad thing, I guess. But check out Levant. A winner !!!

The server was pleasant, but the food was dry. It was easy to tell that it was not made to order, but prepared earlier (who knows when?) and reheated. I ordered the lamb plate, and would not recommend it. With the peta bread, the meal cost $30-not worth it.

A gluten free destination--everything on the menu is gluten free, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options as well, and other allergens denoted on their menu. Everything I've had from Levant has been fantastic. I love the flavor of their meats (maybe baharat seasoning?), and their flatbreads are delicious too. The service can be slow at times, so maybe plan to not be in a hurry if you're dining in haha, but I'm not knocking any stars off for that, because the food is great, and I still really enjoy any time I can stop by.

Wow! This place was great. My husband and I came in for a late lunch/early dinner and sat at the bar. Service was excellent from our server to everyone else that made sure our meal was great. Both the shawarma and lamb kafla were amazing. The hummus,baba ganoush, pickles, and rice all complimented the delicious meat perfectly. I enjoyed some Jasmine green tea and my husband chose one of the delicious elixirs. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a casual but elegant style. They have a whole pasty counter with gluten free snacks and bread. This is a great place to stop if you are gluten free or not! Yummy!

Ordered lunch for pick-up today, and I will without a doubt be frequently coming back to Levant Bistro moving forward. Getting to experience a fully gluten-free and soy-free restaurant was such a gift with my dietary restrictions. It is a rarity that I am able to order what I want on a menu. My husband and I both had the chicken tawook wraps and shared an order of falafel. The wrap itself was so amazing. It was pillowy soft with a delicious chew. The chicken inside was cooked to perfection and was a generous portion. I also really appreciate that the chicken is organic and non-gmo. I admittedly am picky about my falafel, but the falafel here was amazing. The best texture I've had and not oily at all. Levant's pricing is very fair for the quality of ingredients. We did not have extensive experience with the service since it was a pick-up order, but we were warmly welcomed by staff when we came in for our order. I look forward to coming back and dining in!

The entire menu is gluten free, every dish is amazing! The desserts and coffee after lunch is a must.

A lovely family establishment with decadent and delicious pastries, wonderful service and a nice brunch menu. They have gluten and dairy free options and are educated about food allergies. Their outside seating area is really cute and their service is on point. I'd definitely recommend it!

Found a charming spot for brunch, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. Tried the LEBANESE EGG PIE for a delightful twist on breakfast--it was truly unique. We also shared the SHAKSHUKA, a flavorful addition to the table. Ended on a sweet note with the BAKLAVA TART. Already planning to return and explore their lunch and dinner offerings. ENJOY! PS: They have a parking lot, however spots can quickly fill up.

first experience was somewhat dreadful. ordered the eggplant mezze platter to go and it was awful. 3 big chunks of half-uncooked eggplant, tiny portions of hummus, babaganoush, 2 stale, cold falafel balls, a few weird pickles, and some stale cold rice. there is no reason a kitchen cannot make fresh rice or falafel balls, daily. needs improvement. good news is, dining area is nice and spacious, maybe food is better eaten inside the restaurant? bad news is, probably won't be back to find out.

Colleagues and I came for the DineLA lunch of 4 courses at $35/person. We shared the Merquez Manoush (homemade lamb sausage), grass-fed Kafta sandwich (ground lamb), roasted heirloom carrots, hummus, baba ghanoush, date cookie and fig scone. Everything was delicious. Nice ambience. Great service. Free parking in the mini mall.

I was looking for a new restaurant that offers gluten free options, and discovered Levant Bistro. Their cuisine is Lebanese inspired and everything on the menu is gluten free. I saw a few of their beef options are grass fed as well. It is rare to find a restaurant that truly cares about health. I walked in without a reservation on a Wednesday night, the place was not very crowded. I could easily get a table inside or outside. They have a really nice patio in the back. The waitress was very nice and answered my questions about the menu. I ordered two flatbreads: lahmajeen and zaatar. Both were really good and tasted authentic. The zaatar comes with cucumber, tomato and mint, and the lahmajeen comes with a cucumber yoghurt sauce. I am excited to go back and try more of their dishes!

Back home in texas and still thinking about this wonderful little restaurant. We started off with some hummus, Mediterranean and fatoosh Salad and talked about superbly prepared. Absolutely delicious and so fresh. I noticed they had my favorite Shashuka and couldn't resist. It too was scrumptious and I was so happy with the experience. I will be back. Service was impeccable and super friendly.

Superb service from beginning to end! The waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu. She was very kind too! The best part is EVERYTHING IS GLUTEN FREE!! Not only is everything gluten-free but the bread is made IN HOUSE making it hands down the best quality! It was our first time but we will be back to try out the happy hour not only for the insane happy hour prices but the gluten free beer! Which is from a local brewery! I will also be back to buy the homemade dough to make my own pizza at home! I also purchased a HOMEMADE IN HOUSE GLUTEN FREE Blueberry muffin. It was FIRE. There is a parking lot directly in front and additional parking on the street.

I've been looking forward to going here as they are fully gluten free and I'm a celiac. I finally made it today at lunch and I have to say I was disappointed. I ordered a lahmajoon which was on a thick pizza crust instead of a thin flat bread. It was so salty it was hard to eat and the spices weren't authentic. I also ordered a samouseh which the menu said had cheese and cilantro. They basically took the pizza dough, put some cheese in it with no cilantro. When I pointed out there was no cilantro to the waiter, he said the menu was wrong. Then I ordered the kenafeh which they charged $14 for a dessert. I didn't mind paying it as I was so excited to finally eat a gluten free version. What they brought out was NOT a kenafeh. It was dough with mozzarella type cheese instead of a ricotta type cheese on it. The top should have had phyllo dough strips but it was some kind of custard. I was sssoooo disappointed. The ambiance wasn't bad. It definitely gave no Levantine Lebanese vibes. It was more of a modern bar/eatery. Then I bought some pita bread to take home. It looks like styrofoam and tastes like it too. Overall a disappointing experience.

Coming here as a person of color we received a very different experience than others. We sat for 15 minutes without anyone coming to our table to even give water. There are two servers walking past our table multiple times not saying a word. The owner was a lovely man who finally took our order. After he took our order we went another 30 minutes without not one server coming to our table. We wanted to place a to go order so once our food finally came I asked the server if he is our server and he looked dumbfounded that I called him out. He said well we all do the tables and said in a sarcastic tone "didn't someone take your order." Mind you there was a table who came after us who immediately was served water and was waited on so quickly. The waiter walked past our table multiple times to get to this table and tend to their needs. This is highly offensive and if this is the service you all are proud of I will never be here again. As an owner you should be speaking to your staff and ensuring that they are treating all customers with the same level of respect. Being the only person of color there and being ignored is truly saddening. Do better.

thank you for making my graduation lunch special, the food took a bit to come out which was fine because we came as a party of like 10 people wow it was so tasty, the lamb plate was delicious and the chai was equally yummy! don't sit outside under the tree though, because leaves and petals will fall on your table will come back in the future!

I cannot say enough good things about Levant. It is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in LA. The food is delicious, everyone I've met who works there is kind, knowledgeable, and seems genuinely passionate about the cuisine, and both the inside and outside area are super cute. Everything is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. The Lebanese egg pie with kashkaval (cheese) is a standout: the dough is light and fluffy and the kashkaval is delicious. I also love the Merguez sausage manoush (it's like a dreamy delicious flatbread). They did a wonderful job accommodating my party of 10 people today. All of us left feeling so satisfied and joyful. Thank you!
