The 20 Best Restaurants In Beverly Hills - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Getting brunch on Rodeo Drive usually means you’re in for an expensive (and pretty mediocre) dining experience, but Nua knows how to do it right. The Israeli spot inside the Crescent Hotel looks very, well, Beverly Hills: pop art portraits, plenty of chandeliers, and some gaudy wallpaper you’d find on a Real Housewives spin-off. Nothing about this place is subtle, but the simple, delicious shakshuka is why we come here. The tomato sauce is garlicky and not too spicy, the egg yolks are runny, and it comes with a chewy Jerusalem bagel for tearing and dipping. Nua also serves as a safe haven from the tourist hordes with a quiet outdoor patio and solid espresso martinis." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders

The 13 Best Restaurants For Lunch In Beverly Hills - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Between the selfie stick-toting tourists and rental Lamborghinis revving their engines, Rodeo Drive isn’t the first place that comes to mind when we think of a peaceful lunch. But then there’s Nua inside the Crescent Hotel, where you can collect yourself in a lush, quiet patio, sip an espresso martini, and break into a chewy Jerusalem bagel with someone who also needs a moment to themselves. Nua’s lunchtime menu is smaller than its brunch and dinner but still features many of the same homey Mediterranean staples, like warm falafel, schnitzel sandwiches on fluffy challah, and a garlic-heavy shakshuka with three sunny yolks poking through the tomato sauce." - sylvio martins, brant cox

The Best Shakshuka In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Nua is a new-ish Israeli spot inside Beverly Hills’ Crescent Hotel that is very, well, Beverly Hills. But sometimes, a little extra flair is exactly what we’re looking for, and Nua’s food matches the setting. We love their gorgeous charred eggplant that’s roasted, peeled, and butterflied before getting topped with nutty tahini, oil, date syrup, and tangy tomato salsa. Their brunchtime shakshuka might not be as avant-garde as the dissected eggplant dish, but its bright red, slow-cooked tomato sauce is good enough for us. There’s a hint of heat but the garlic really shines through and we’re here for it. Besides the eggs also being perfectly cooked, we’re really big fans of the Jerusalem bagel - its sesame-coated crust and great chewiness make it ideal for dipping into runny yolks." - sylvio martins

RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE Food Rundown Shakshuka The tomato sauce in this bubbling shakshuka is garlicky, a little tart, a bit spicy, and just the right texture to handle the poached eggs without looking like a can of tomato soup. The runny yolks are just a bonus that we love soaking up, especially with a chewy Jerusalem bagel. Jerusalem Bagel This ovular sesame bagel is chewy and perfect for tearing or dunking into shakshuka, hummus, or literally any other dippable dish on the menu. The labneh that comes with it is tangy and creamy, creating a delicious pairing that’s caused us to zone out at the table mid-story before. Charred Eggplant Besides being largely unrecognizable at first sight, this splayed eggplant is a must-try at Nua. But the toppings on this dish are what take it to a whole other level. The silky eggplant gets topped with tahini, date syrup, spring onion, and tomato salsa to create the perfect nutty/sweet/garlicky/crunchy bite. Hummus Masabacha There’s hummus, and then there’s this creamy, lemony spread that’s listed as a “shareable” on the menu, but we challenge that notion. The rich hummus is peppery and mildly smokey from a healthy drizzle of olive and a dash of cumin on top. The chickpea and parsley salad, plus the sliced hard-boiled egg, bring a lot of texture to this already delicious dip." - Sylvio Martins

Review for Nua Nua – Los Angeles My partner and I are staying at the InterContinental for a quick getaway, and we decided to try Nua Nua for dinner — easily one of the best decisions of the trip. From the moment we walked in, the entire team delivered a level of hospitality that feels genuinely world-class. The staff is warm, attentive, and dialed in without ever being overbearing. You can tell they take real pride in the experience they’re creating. The food is outstanding — thoughtful, vibrant, and full of the kind of flavors that stay with you long after the meal. There’s a depth to the menu that reflects the best of modern Israeli-inspired cuisine, and it shows in every dish. Knowing the restaurant is owned by an Israeli chef made the experience even more meaningful for us. My girlfriend Shirley and her entire family are from Israel, so there was an instant connection to the culture, the style of cooking, and the energy of the place. It felt familiar, elevated, and special all at once. This is the kind of restaurant you immediately want to recommend to everyone. Incredible service. Incredible food. Incredible people. A standout experience in LA — we’ll absolutely be back.

#phenomenal is what I want to express! Loved everything about this place! Food is delicious , light - not heavy , many options for vegetarians. Service is great, drinks & food were served in a timely manner. The atmosphere, decor, style, cocktails, food option, creativity, and the restroom (clean!) are all beyond excellent! Highly recommend & we will. Definitely come back here (in spite of the drive!).

Terrific Mediterranean food in a stylish space make for a wonderful meal. Nua is best with a group, so you call order multiple appetizers and multiple dishes and try it all. I loved the eggplant. The hummus came with house made pita. The kebab was perfectly cooked. Everything was so delicious. I can't wait to go back

Lovely Mediterranean spot with a lush, plant-filled patio. Drinks were delicious, food was decent but well-presented. The standout was the freshly baked pita—warm, soft, and full of flavor.

This is like the Middle East and Paris combined. The food is incredibly delicious. Staff are very friendly and apologetic (great things take time) expect to wait. Chef’s kiss! The Arayes and Jerusalem bagel are the most memorable to me.

I wish that there were more options for brunch, specifically Mediterranean styled, but what we ordered was pretty good too. I recommend the meat dish the most. Lots of people coming from XiaoHongShu (Red Note) haha. The vibe is great for a date or family dinner. I might come again to try the dinner menu.

The portions were really generous and everything tasted fresh and well-cooked. Our server (I didn’t get her name but she had tattoos) went above and beyond on every aspect possible! Price was also reasonable considering the location.

We dined in on a Friday night and were able to walk-in without a reservation. Beautiful restaurant and great food! The Arayes went perfectly with a pint of Einstok on a hot summer evening.

Incredible ambiance, lovely enclosed outdoor area with beautiful lightning and plants. Really makes you feel like you're being taken out of the city. Food is a great blend of Mediterranean-middle eastern flavors. Cocktails are good, but I didn't really taste any alcohol at all...beautiful presentation though. Even though the restaurant was busy it was easy to walk-in and get seated on the weekend, I appreciate that the tables aren't so tightly squeezed together like other high-end dining in BH. I really loved the hummus, falafel was okay I've had better, but when I came for lunch it tasted much better in the wrap - great date night spot.

Amazing spot! I was shopping nearby and this was open a little late- everything about this place is amazing! The food, the service, the beauty of the place!! I sat outside and the noise level was moderate- I still think about how delicious the charred eggplants were.. and the pita they give you is so soft and fluffy. Was a huge fan of everything.. def will be back soon to try other menu items

My friend and I absolutely loved Nua! We visited after taking a Pilates class and brought my dog to sit in the gorgeous patio in front of the restaurant; however, they have a lot of space with plenty of seating inside with cozy seats and more intimate tables for privacy. The service accommodated my dog very well and shared their top-tier recommendations such as the shipud, chicken thigh kebab, branzino, and of course, pita and hummus! I got the branzino for more fresh vegetables and fish and my friend got the chicken kebab in the lavash. We adored how flavorful and vibrant the food was without being too heavy, salty, or oily! The presentations of the dishes are also stunning with a fresh, vibrant ambiance to pair it with. Price-wise, a little bit higher since it is Beverly Hills, but it's fantastic for lunch and dinner, whether you want to be fancy or just have a fun day out!

The bread here is like none other I've ever tasted in my life! I've also never had Shukshuka before and this was the proper place to start. After we came home to Seattle I've been on the hunt for someplace anywhere in the ballpark as this and nothing compares. I was slightly thrown off by the huge pic of Breakfast at Tiffany's because I have the depiction of Asians in that movie. It didn't seem to fit in with the current vibe of the place and all the Asians present dining. The special framed Woody Allen piece wouldn't have caught my notice and hit so oddly if I didn't have to stare at the huge Movie Poster throughout my delicious meal. What may have been a decor anomaly became a bit of a suspicion of unawareness in judgement with the decor choices. But the food is amazing.

I love it here. The patio is gorgeous. The staff is welcoming. The babaganoush is delectable. The hummus is perfectly creamy and garlicky. (I'm very picky about hummus.) Even the bathroom is cute, and everything is super clean. The lunch prices are surprisingly great - especially for Beverly Hills. This is my second time here, and I remember loving the felafel but my aunt was rushing this time so we missed it. Oh, out of order, but the pita is fluffy and tasty. (It's not so great the next day, which is a great excuse to just indulge and eat it ALL at your meal!)

An absolute must; great for girls dinner, tons of shareable items that can be vegan / vegetarian or meat. Interior is so cute and comfortable for a long meal - our server was fantastic and appreciated the menu suggestions. Both indoor and outdoor seating, and they have heaters on the patio if you wish to be outside!

Must go for the Jerusalem Bagel. It is me and my girlfriends favorite here. We came here last weekend with her girlfriends in town, and had a good lunch here. I had not been here in awhile, so it was a blessing to come back.

Beautiful outdoor gem! Lovely ambience for day or night. Lots of vegan options. The veggie shawarma was surprisingly delicious. I would go back to try the falafel wrap, which is only offered for lunch. Offers kosher meat. Service was friendly.

I came here twice within a month; once for brunch and the other for dinner. The food is flavorful and delicious. The vibe on the outdoor patio is fabulous and I love the decor of the place. The staff is friendly but at times aloof. Both times I had incidents where they forgot to serve something and ended up removing the item from the bill. I love being left alone to enjoy my company I'm dining with but I feel they can be a little more attentive; i.e. refilling water glasses. I recommend this restaurant for its unique take on Mediterranean cuisine. My one family member said it's the best Shakshuka she's ever had, including when she's had it in the Middle East.

The best thing for people who keep Kosher, but also wanna eat out on a Saturday if that goes with their following/preferences. I've got to say their portion sizes have decreased over the years, just went recently, and I was surprised that the chicken schnitzel sandwich was smaller although for someone else in our Party, they felt bigger portions were received at other tables? Regardless, really support this institution, great location, wonderful ambience, and of course great foods! For us that Arya stole the show. They take a little bit long to wait, so get the orders in fast. If you come at a brunch time, and sit on the patio, just be aware that somehow it gets very, very hot. They have fans, but you almost need to wear hat, even though there is a pergola above you. It is connected/part of a hotel, but there is street parking available.

Came here with my wife to enjoy and late brunch and the food and ambiance did not disappoint. It was a Saturday so they only had brunch that goes until 4pm. Not a lot of options but definitely something for everyone. We ordered the Bureka and the Shakshuka. Both are served with their delicious bread that is probably made in-house because it tasted so fresh. Nice and crisp on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The sandwich was so flavorful and went really well with the shakshuka tomato sauce. We licked our plates clean and were satisfied. My wife also enjoyed a latte. It was pretty quiet because we got there around 3. It's part of a little boutique hotel and the decor and outdoor patio were nice and comforting. We valet parked for $17. There is a parking garage across the street but not sure how much that is. Service was good and prices were affordable at around $25-30 per person. There are a lot of food options in the area, but if you're looking for something with a medeteranian feel then check this place out. Hope you enjoy!

It's a bit of a hit or miss! I ordered something savory (the burger) but wasn't the biggest fan! Luckily my server noticed and offered to change it! I ordered something sweet and enjoyed my waffle much more! So it's all really dependent on what you order! It's nice and quaint in there as well!

Absolutely loved my visit to Nua! The food and service were both fantastic. I had the shakshuka, and honestly, it was one of the best I've had in a long time, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The patio is super cute and cozy, the kind of place you just want to sit and relax over great food. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! PS it's also Kosher which is an added plus.

This place is fantastic! Super sweet place for a day although I was just with a friend . We had the awesome hummus and super hi end chicken and steak kababs. all great although I would choose the steak over the chicken any day if I had to pick just one. My friend had a great margarita and I had some killer white wine great bar led by Josh. As Arnold once said: "Ill be back!"

My partner and I walked in on a busy Saturday night and they were able to seat us at the bar. The ambiance is dark but lively. This place would be great for a date night or girls night. We got the Jerusalem bagel, a salad, and the branzino. Everything was delicious, especially the branzino. The fish was served whole and was seasoned very well. The grilled vegetables that came with it had a fantastic char.

Got there around 6pm on a weekday, and it was almost empty! Service was great, and our waiter was friendly. So many great menu options... it was hard to choose! Ended up getting the branzino with a side of pita. Another person in our party got the chicken schnitzel. Everyone said their food was excellent! Would definitely recommend this spot! Seating is wonderful, and the whole place has a great vibe.

Absolutely loved Nua! I can't believe I'd never been here before. Everything--from the chic ambiance and beautiful decor to the incredible cocktails, appetizers, entrées, and desserts--was perfection. We were a large group celebrating a birthday and ended up trying most of the menu, and not a single dish disappointed. Highly, highly recommend! Can't wait to come back for brunch.

We had high hopes for this restaurant. We love Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food, but it was just OK. All the dishes we tried for dinner were average but not remarkable. The flavors were middle of the road, in most cases. An exception to that was the Sea Bass, which seemed overburdened with seasonings. Service was likewise OK. At one point, my entree was delivered but my dining companion had to wait a long time for his, which resulted in him watching me eat. The vibe is fun with a lot of celebrity posters on the walls, and there is outdoor seating.

A really nice place - beautiful decor . Located right off of rodeo drive , this place felt very down to earth and comfy . Service was great as well What we ordered : 1) hummus masabacha- was very good , came slightly warm and w two fantastic pita bread . 4.2/5 2) arrays - a good dish as well . The meat felt very fresh and the pita bread around it was excellent . I wish the dish was a little bigger (4.1/5) 3) French fries - this felt a little bit like a rip-off. 15$ for a plate of French fries ??? Also they weren't nothing to retire home about (3/5) All together a nice Mediterranean place if you're in the area and craving some Israeli cuisine

Came for an early dinner at Nua with a friend, and would recommend this place for ambiance and drinks. There is a mix of cozy indoor/bar and outdoor seating, in a OTT glam setting. We were informed that we'd caught happy hour, which applied to cocktails and beer. Drinks were great & delicious. For food we ordered: - cauliflower florets: our favorite - a nice dressing of tahini sauce - charred eggplant: our least favorite. TBH the menu did not inform us that this dish is served cold. The date sauce made it overly sweet, and the pita that was served alongside it was very flavorless. - Shipud - This was fine. Nothing really stand out, and certainly didn't feel like it warranted the (now) $39 price. Service was friendly. The entire time we were there (a bit on the earlier evening side) it was pretty empty. Maybe for early drinks or if you're hard up for a last minute reservation in the BH area?

The food was incredibly satisfying. (The hummous and pita in particular were divine.) The service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to take care of us like family. A special shoutout to Kelvin (and his grandmother) who was so attentive, considerate and service oriented, it felt like we had gone back in time to a whole other era. The ambiance and decor alone make this place worth visiting. We can't wait to go back and try their highly recommended salmon.

Somewhere btwn 4 and 5 stars. We enjoyed and would come back Delicious lunch spot. Food is tasty and the menu is distinct enough it's not just another Mediterranean / Israeli restaurant. Cauliflower and Areya apps were great; we ordered one of every sandwich and they were all also tasty though the bread on the schnitzel didn't taste like challah to us. Interior is a vibe too! Beautiful outdoor seating area, vibe-y inside seating area. Servers are attentive and quick. Reasonably priced for lunch!

There's almost never anyone here, yet the food still takes forever to come out. Portions have gotten smaller, and prices keep going up. It's a nice space, but something's off -- it shouldn't take this long when the restaurant's nearly empty. Used to enjoy it, but it's just not worth it anymore.

Excellent food and ambiance! The servers have always been really nice too. The food is some of the best in Beverly Hills with reasonable prices for the 90210. We love love the eggplant, favorite dish by far and unique. We have probably tried 80% of the menu and havent had a bad dish. Favorites include the eggplant, arayes & hummus as apps, and main meals are shipud and branzino. We have brought several people here and everyone has loved it. The ambiance is so nice and something special - beautiful outdoor zen space with gardens where you dont feel like you are right on the street. Drinks are great too. highly recommend this place. Great for a romantic evening or a group.

Wanted to go for brunch there. But there was some baby shower going and they had closed it for others! It seemed very unprofessional. They should at least keep open small portion for non party attendees. It was frustrating specially because we had to spend time finding parking first, and after we paid for the parking we came to know that we cannot get a seat there!

Due for an update as it's been almost four years since I wrote my (and apparently Nua's) first review. I didn't really eat much this go-round, but I've also been here pretty consistently over the last few years, so this is something of an aggregate review. Firstly, the ribeye is to die for, especially medium or medium rare. I've also gotten into the habit of ordering a side of the cauliflower florets to go with it, and so far I've never gone wrong with this combo. But it's a bit much for a single person when you also add the florets, so be prepared to split it unless you're routinely used to crushing 16oz ribeyes and still being hungry. Secondly, in the past four years Nua developed a bit of a reputation for being fairly secluded, at least in Rodeo Drive terms. So you'll occasionally find folks here who value their privacy. If you respect it, you'll probably get to enjoy the time you spend with them. Thirdly, Josh somehow continues to do wonders behind the bar. I trust his hand with the drinks. Fourthly, they haven't tampered much with the original Crescent Hotel styling other than swapping the furnishings, which is for the best for the moody feel it's got. I'm eternally a fan of the vibe. Fifthly, the Harira might be the value meal here. If you just need something light, it's (as of writing) $9 for a cup of brutally savory lentil chickpea tomato soup. And the deep fried pita was a surprise. Was trying to be healthy, but alas. Only drawback, but not enough for me to dock a star especially considering how much fixing this would cost: I do wish the bar was longer and could seat more people. 5 stars, even still.

Came here fore brunch and ordered three incredible dishes: Hummus Masabacha, Shuk Salad, and Arayes. The Hummus Masabacha was creamy and rich with a hint of tang, it was topped with chickpeas, herbs, eggs and a drizzle of olive oil that elevated the flavor. It paired perfectly with the fresh pita. The Shuk Salad with Chicken breast was fresh, vibrant and full of color. The Arayes, which were pita pockets stuffed with spiced meat and grilled to crispy perfection, were fantastic. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy fresh, healthy brunch.

Nua is a little gem of a restaurant located on the edge of the Beverly Hills triangle, and is attached to the Crescent Hotel. The atmosphere is very charming and whimsical, with modern art prints on the walls, chandeliers, plush velvet chairs and sofas, a fireplace, and a reflective ceiling. There is also a large outdoor dining area, and a separate bar area. The menu is on the small side but is fairly reasonably priced given the location. There is something for everyone from fish to beef to vegetarian. We shared 3 dishes: the cauliflower florets which were delicious, and the charred eggplant and the Shipud which is a skewer of chicken thighs. The latter two dishes we didn't care for. The eggplant is served cold and is covered in a sweet date syrup which overwhelms the flavor of the eggplant. The craft cocktails were fantastic. The bartender was very accommodating in making them less sweet to serve our taste. Overall, I would given Nua another try but would try some of the other dishes.

We were in the area and looking for a place with good food for lunch and found this place. It's inside a hotel. We enjoyed everything about it. We were happy to find 1hr street parking. There's also valet and free a 2hrs at the public parking garage 2 blocks away. For lunch, we ordered off the brunch menu, which is different than dinner time, but still really good. The star of the meal was the Israeli bagel. I'm not sure who the pastry chef is, but they are very talented. I may have to go back just for another bagel. The outside was perfectly firm with toasted sesame seeds. The inside was the lightest bread I've ever had. I was very happy it was the size of a loaf pan and not a typical New York bagel. The bagel came as a side with the Shakshuka. We also ordered the Borekas Sabih, a sandwich on a pastry. The flavor and texture combination was different than I have had, but it worked. It had something spicy on it, which I wasn't expecting.

Decided to try it based on searching Yelp while in the area. Another hit, thank you Yelp! I was alone and I like to eat dinner early so I showed up around 5 p.m. and quickly got a table for one outside. A warm summer evening and I had the whole place to myself. My server (Alexander) greeted me promptly and answered all my questions. He was perfectly attentive throughout my meal and I enjoyed chatting with him. I had the hummus machabacha and the Shipud. Hummus: I have had a lot of very good hummus in my day and this is right up there. I have never seen a hard boiled egg in it but this really works. The tahini, olive oil, lemon and cumin were great. The pita bread is fresh made and came out piping hot. The Shipud is a unique spin on a classic chicken skewer dish. They go with a tortilla of all things with a few veggies and tahini sauces. The chicken is marinated, grilled and seasoned perfectly. Pro tip: order a side of Zhoug, which is spicy cilantro sauce. It pairs perfectly with this dish and if you like some heat it is awesome. I was too full to even think about dessert but I think this place has very reasonable prices, has a charming atmosphere and the food is fantastic.

Went here mid afternoon. Great ambiance! Pretty and lots of space and plants. I love it. The service was wonderful. We were well taken care of. The food is delicious! My sandwich was humongous, delicious but hard to bite into because it was a thick one. We'll be back.

Great food. We ordered a bunch of food to share family style: Jerusalem Bagel: 10/10 - came out hot and the bread was so fluffy Cauliflower: 9/10 - Love cauliflower, thought it was really great and could have eaten more. Charred Eggplant: 7/10 - Tastes great especially on the pita bread. Hummus: 10/10 - Amazing hummus with chickpeas and egg. Arayes: 10/10 - Best starter we ordered! Saw most other tables also ordered them, definitely a must have if you go. Chicken Schnitzel: 5/10 - Not bad, just a standard schnitzel. Also wasn't ideal for sharing. Shipud: 7/10 1 Chicken was good, tender and flavorful. Also ordered the Branzino, didn't personally try it but the table enjoyed. Only thing I didn't enjoy was the drinks were so small and stacked with ice I felt like I needed a refill every sip. If I were to go back, I'd probably just order more of the starters and share with the table.

First time here and it was amazing! The hummus was the most hearty, filling, unique and delicious hummus I've ever had. It was addictive. Also had the shashouka (first time ever trying) and it was super flavorful and hearty. The portions here weee just insane. The atmosphere was not too busy at the early lunch hour on a Friday. Service was friendly, prompt, and great with recommendations. Definitely will come here again!

Had a lovely dinner here on a Saturday night with friends! Our waitress was nice and extremely helpful as we decided between dishes. She encouraged us to share and was very affirming of what we decided to order - everything was absolutely delicious and very easy to share! The patio seating was nice with ample heaters that staff were adjusting by request. However, as we were wrapping up and getting ready to pay, it began to drizzle. Staff were opening the umbrellas and helping tables relocate inside, but no one checked on our table where we were getting drizzled on! Maybe because we were close to the end of our meal, but it would have been nice to have the option to move out of the rain. Definitely recommend for an upscale Middle Eastern meal!

I had norovirus so only ate mashed potatoes and my husband spent the night revisiting his dinner..., so no. It was not a success. We'd normally give them another try, but the service was so terribly slow that we won't go back.

A great Middle Eastern restaurant in Beverly Hills, located at the Old Crescent Hotel. The food is absolutely delicious, and the drinks are fantastic. It has a cozy interior and a lovely outdoor patio. The prices are very reasonable, and the quality of the food is exceptional. We'll definitely be back soon!

We were in town for the Beverly Hills Art Show and decided to try Nua since it was nearby and had outdoor seating and a menu that appealed to our very particular child. They were hopping busy when we arrived. Initially the hostess said we could get a patio table if we waited 15-20 minutes, then she rearranged the seating for another reservation and gave us the last small table on the patio almost immediately. Our server was kind but incredibly busy, so we waited a while to order, a long time to get water, and an even longer time for our food. When it finally arrived, it was only my husband's and child's orders, and the hostess regretfully informed me that they had run out of the dish I wanted. To make up for that, however, she said they would comp another entree for me and have it cooked immediately and they would also comp dessert. That more than made up for the disappointment, IMO - I have so much respect for restaurants that can handle their mistakes with such grace. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and it indeed arrived quickly and was delicious. The challah bread was very light and easy to eat with a fork and knife. The avocado was high quality and I loved the radishes and the smoked salmon, which didn't have that fishy quality it does at some places. The salad that accompanied it was also tasty with perfectly ripe strawberry pieces. Child loved her Israeli breakfast - the Jerusalem bagel was much lighter than a typical bagel, and it was delicious eaten with the hummus. The eggs were also outstanding - nice and fluffy. Husband was happy with his chicken schnitzel sandwich as well. The desserts were outstanding, and here is where I am actually happy that they didn't have what I wanted and comped some desserts for us because I never would have ordered them otherwise, and they were worth a trip in and of themselves. The saffron pistachio ice cream tasted exactly like the ingredients and was cold and sweet but not too sweet. The halva cake was like nothing that I've ever had before - it was light and barely sweet at all (I think the server said the only sugar came from the dates that went into making it). And the berries that came with it were high quality as well. We are definitely adding Nua to our must repeat list. High quality food and service in a charming setting - you really can't go wrong

I came to Nua a few weeks ago for dinner on a Monday night. It was hidden in a small hotel and had a very cute ambiance. Even for a Monday, seemed a little empty and quiet for LA. I came here because my brother was visiting and really wanted an Israeli restaurant. I'm giving it 4 stars because although the food was good, I can't really say it was super Israeli - more like American with some Israeli fusion. As a child of an Israeli immigrant, when I say I want Israeli - I mean everything - food, ambiance, music, kinda rude service - but you could honestly come to Nua and not realize it has any connection to Israeli food/culture aside from some of the dishes - and only if you really knew your stuff. The arayes were the star of the show and I'd definitely recommend them. Everything else was good, but not stand out good. For a great Israeli ambiance, I'd go to the chef's other restaurant, Carmel!

Went to Nua for dinner last night. Fist time and I want to go back ASAP. It was an incredible experience! The eggplant was cooked to perfection. I have never that it prepared this way. The pita was simply amazing--soft, warm, puffy and perfect for dipping. The hummus had a lot of flavor and textures. It was creamy and flavorful, and the Shuk Salad was a fresh and vibrant complement to the meal. Our waiter was outstanding, providing impeccable service and even bringing us a different sauce to try, which was unbelievably good. Although I wish I remembered his name, his attentiveness and friendliness made our meal even more enjoyable. For dessert, we had the Havali with date syrup drizzle and fruit, which was the perfect light and sweet treat to end our meal. The location is fantastic, giving off the vibe of a charming cafe in Israel, and loved dining al fresco, enjoying the beautiful atmosphere. Sorry I didn't take photos. I was so into the meal.... Overall, everything was delicious, and the entire experience was delightful. I highly recommend Nua for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!
