Open Sesame

This place is awesome. Their food is super delicious and it is one of the few places on Beverly Blvd, that actually are not only affordable, but also have a stunning ambiance with plenty of indoor and outdoor options. A perfectly romantic place to enjoy some Mediterranean food. The staff is super friendly, and the manager will likely come by at some point to ensure all is well. I highly recommend the Sultan Platter and the cheesecake like desert. So yummy!

Enjoyed the atmosphere and attentive & friendly service. My tabouleh salad ($11 including fresh green leaf lettuce) was fresh and delicious, my partner's Vegetarian Entree ($16) was yummy and well presented, and our cocktails--"Fresh Prince of Beirut" ($12) and "A-Roc Star" ($13) were soooo good (though the former was on the small side, served in a champagne glass). Though the baklawa/baklava ($7) was super small and drier than I'm used to (perhaps it just wasn't a good night for it), my partner enjoyed his Turkish coffee ($5), and we devoured the Lebanese ice cream ($6. We chose ashta, pistachio, and almond, and they were all incredibly creamy). We sat in the back by the small fountain and kitchen--it was secluded and comfortable. Already looking forward to our next visit!

I’m Lebanese & this is the best Middle Eastern food in the area. Food here is authentic as it could get. The garlic sauce is the best tasting one I’ve had so far here WEHO, not too strong like other places. The meat and vegetables are good quality. Plenty of Vegan options to choose from! I’m surprised this place doesn’t have a line, Hollywood’s best kept secret. Food is amazing I got the Foul and the Open Sesame platter and it’s my second time coming in 5 days.

Took me forever to write this…. Hands down the best Mediterranean food in Central LA! But… you have to call the order in and make sure you tell them exactly how you want it prepared. A few times, my sultan platter had dry steak pieces. The people working here are always nice even though I’ve only picked up. Don’t get it delivered, if there is a mistake you will be mad and it will take forever to fix. Just order over the phone and come in to pick it up. They are fast. Food portions are perfect. Price is on the higher side but it’s worth it. I’d rather pay $4 extra and be satisfied than save $4 and be upset

Has to be some of the worst Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. First off, they don’t even make their own pita bread. I got a delivery and they sent a bag of pita bought from the grocery store, still in the bag. If i had known that’s what i was going to get, i could have ordered the dips, falafel, vegetables and pita bread all from Whole Foods for a better price and better quality. A rip off, like most restaurants in LA.
