Mizlala is a cozy, low-key Mediterranean gem in Sherman Oaks, whipping up mouthwatering Moroccan fried chicken and vibrant dishes that elevate classic Israeli flavors, perfect for a quick bite or a casual hangout.
"Mizlala makes vegetables taste so incredibly interesting, it's like the Men In Black have zapped bland, boiled veggies from the collective consciousness of the place. This casual Israeli spot has three locations across town (in Sherman Oaks, West Adams, and Sycamore), and serves plates of chicken shawarma and juicy lamb-beef keftas. The vegetable sides steal the show, though. Crunchy brussel sprouts come coated in smoked paprika and lemony broccoli with capers is a must-order. (Yes, it’s fried. Yes, live a little!)" - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Both the Sherman Oaks and West Adams locations of Mizlala are available for delivery/takeout. The menus differ slightly - the West Adams outpost focuses on plates and proteins, while Sherman Oaks offers wraps and kebabs - but the through line here is an emphasis on well-made Mediterranean food. You can’t go wrong with anything involving their Moroccan chicken, and their hummus selection is one of the best in town." - kat hong
"Mizlala is a casual Mediterranean spot a few blocks down from The Galleria mall that works for just about every occasion. Maybe you’re craving Moroccan chicken and solitude on your lunch hour, or are trying to find a non-intimidating spot for a first date with someone who’s probably catfishing you. Mizlala’s bright, modern space and delicious food will make it work. Get the sumac fries, a tahini shake, and the aforementioned Moroccan chicken." - brant cox
"With three locations across LA, Mizlala has grown a lot since it first opened in 2016—but one thing hasn’t changed: excellent Israeli food. Order everything at the counter, grab some pickled sides from the condiments bar, and take a seat on the patio. It’s the ideal place for a quick weeknight meal or a last-minute group dinner that won’t break the bank. The menu is small but effective—any of the main proteins can be ordered as a pita, salad, or plate with rice, hummus, and veggies. We especially love their well-seasoned chicken shawarma, and the spiced kefta is a good bet, too." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren
