"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, sylvio martins
"Danny Elmaleh worked for SBE for years, designing modern Moroccan and eastern Mediterranean flavors at Cleo and other large-scale restaurants before opening a humble hideaway in Sherman Oaks called Mizlala. The menu’s been streamlined into an array of proteins like falafel, chicken shawarma, lamb and beef kofta, salmon, and merguez sausage served in pita sandwiches, plates, or salads. Meats are either grilled over charcoal or roasted on a rotating spit, resulting in smoky, profound flavors that come through regardless of the carb or vegetable vehicle. Seasoned sides like crispy croccolo, oyster mushrooms, and shawarma-spiced cauliflower add heft, even if the generously portioned dishes don’t need them. Thanks to Elmaleh’s experience with high-volume, everything works well delivered or taken away. Mizlala also operates daily in West Adams and along Hollywood’s Sycamore Avenue. Order takeout or delivery directly through Mizlala.— Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Rebecca Roland
"Mizlala’s Sycamore Ave. space is the third location in this casual Mediterranean spot’s growing grilled meat empire. As far as the menu goes, it’s similar to their West Adams location, which is to say, it’s filled with delicious, simple plates like chicken shawarma or schnitzel, falafel, and lamb kefta that all cost around $15. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but if you’re particularly low on time, there’s a self-ordering kiosk so you can be in and out in under five minutes. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
