Perhaps the best mediterranean veggie/vegan fare in LA. After a day at the Wi Korean spa, there’s no better meal than the fresh, healthy and delicious fare at Mazal. Friendly service and a family run affair: With Tal who manages front of house, his mum Hanni cooking 5 dishes at the same time, while their dad selects fresh produce from their farm (40 miles outside LA). The food reminded us of the better farm to table restaurants in Israel. The decor is very Israeli with menorah's by the window and the setup is like a casual bistro. The menu is simple (one page) but has some gems. We couldn't decide between the dips, so we requested a dip platter (off menu, they can accommodate if the kitchen isn't too busy). It comes with 4 dips: Magreb tahini (spicy tahini), fresh cool babaganoush (eggplant), fresh whipped hummus with chickpeas and spicy tahini. The asparagus was amazing with a bed of what felt like muhamarra, made of red bell peppers from their local farm and walnuts. I could scoop that dip for days with a pita. The shawarma oyster mushrooms was our main entree, it comes with a delicate cannellini purée that definitely needs the side of mint chimichurri. The mushrooms are fried and benefit from the freshness of the puree and the freshness of the mint chimichurri. Finally we wanted to save some room for desserts so we bagged many of the dips for lunch the next day - even better the next day. Tao recommended the coconut baklava and it was gone before you can say bak la what? This promoted us to get a second dessert which we knew we’d share with the rest of the fam, and we opted for the classic marbled halva, despite being tempted by the pistachio. Of the two, the coconut baklava was my favorite. Tip: Free street parking Tip: If the weather permits, sit in the outside patio for an amazing experience. Read less

Food was great but a bit salty. I found myself thirsty the entire night after this. Highly recommend the potatoes and the couscous. The eggplant was not to our taste. It has a very strong cheesy taste that we cannot tell what it is, but did not like it. Service was good and ambience was good. Read less

Very beautiful restaurant. Everything was exceptional- the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was flawless. We are definitely coming back. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. This is what we ordered: Hummus, Babaganoush, Spicy Tahini, Maghrebi Potatoes, Jerusalem Bagel Toast, Couscous, and the new V-Steak & Artichoke Bottoms. I have to say, the Babaganoush is probably the best I have ever had—and I have tried quite a few. The restaurant is so beautiful—we love the vibe, the beautiful wall decor, lighting and great music.

The mushrooms were so light and slightly crispy texture, I thought I was full, I couldn't stop eating it? Read less
