Almaza

Been coming here for over 10 years and Almaza always has good food and good vibes. Excellent Hookah lounge and restaurant serving authentic Lebanese cuisine. Their salads and sauces have a tang to them, a bright and complimentary flavor to the food. The Hookah lounge is on their patio so if you’re not a smoker you can sit inside the restaurant away from the hookah. Recommend dishes are the Spicy Creamy Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Lamb chops and their Cheese Roll appetizer - basically like a Lebanese version of a spring roll, it’s so good! Beer and wine are available for alcohol. Parking is free on the street or in the parking lot adjacent. Came here recently for a birthday dinner with 10 people. With drinks, appetizers and courses our bill was a very reasonable $420.

Great Hookah place, and if you like kabobs then this is it. One of the best kabobs in LA. The kofta kabobs are the best.

This hidden gem offers a taste of Traditional Mediterranean cuisine that truly impressed me. The ambiance is relaxed, making it a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some flavorful dishes. Their Mediterranean fare is top-notch, and I particularly enjoyed their selection of kabobs. The flavors were authentic and satisfying. To add to the experience, they also offer hookah pipes for those interested in that.

Delicious, I love Mediterranean food, and this spot was a cool vibe. The hookah was a bonus if u like to shisha. I'm definitely going back! Service was on point. Everyone smiled and greeted us.

Great Mediterranean restaurant. I had Lamb Chops, they were a bit burnt but the taste was good. The salad and hummus sides were also very tasty. I also had the Almaza platter which had lots of different hot appetizers including felafels,.... The shawarma was also fine. So i guess the food is great in general. The service was a bit off, I ordered 2 lamp chops, but they only brought one in the first serve. So it took a bit of time to make the 2nd one ready.
