Reviews for Bavel in Los Angeles, CA
Absolutely amazing! Exquisite. Didn't know quite what to expect, but this went above and beyond expectations. All of the dishes... we had were so flavorful and unique. Delicious. We went early right when it opened and grabbed a seat at the bar. Livelyatmosphere. Great service. Went on a Wednesday night and it was packed... definitely a vibe! We picked a few appetizers anddessert. We had baba ghanoush, oyster mushrooms, prawns and strawberry rhubarb dessert. Did not disappoint! I already want tomake plans to come back and try the rest of the menu *chef's kiss* Read more
Definitely a trendy spot. The food is quite good, but overpriced. If you are looking for the better known Mediterranean dishes,... this is not the place. There are no chicken dishes, no kabobs. The menu items are named after people, so you have to lookclosely at the descriptions, and even then, some are quite metaphorical, so you are better off asking the staff to describe themto you. Larger dishes are made to share, though you may want to share every single dish, hummus and other dips. The drinks wereinteresting and good. Read more
Environment and service are very good. I ordered the dishes recommended by the waiter, but they all tasted heavy. BBQ Shrimp was... good, but not amazing... I have high requirements for the taste of food, not that they are not delicious. Just saying, can try,but won't be back. Read more
We had grilled prawn, eggplant humus and oxtail. Everything was sooo good. Eggplant humus and grilled prawn have nice smoky and... spicy flavors, these two are our favorite. I’ll definitely come back to eat these. Oxtail was very tender, well seasoned. Thecoconut jasmine rice on the side was very nice too. But it wasn’t that impressive than two appetizers we had earlier. Therestaurant is quite noicy and busy though. We enjoyed watching cooking at the counter. Every dish was made with a lot of care.(I saw they were brushing each lettuce leaves and plating them each by each for salad.) Great service too! Read more
I had a great time here for my birthday. The ambience was beautiful. And the food was so good. What really stood out was the... service. From the hosts, to the servers, to the bussers, everyone was really attentive without being overbearing. I wouldabsolutely comb back and try new things on the menu. Read more
I’ve been here nearly a dozen times by now, and I’m never disappointed. I always order the fried pita and the grilled... prawns, both of which are out of this world. I even bought the cookbook for these recipes but they’re just not thesame. Unless you’re in a group of 4 or more, I don’t actually recommend the larger entrees. Out of the entrees, the grilleddorade is the best, followed by the lamb neck sharwarma. Grazing is my preferred method of dining. Def try at least 2 dips anda couple of appetizers per person!

This is a hip Israeli food restaurant. A good place to go on a date or just hang around with a bunch of friends. Food is really... good portions are not too big but not too small. If you're a vegetarian you'll love this place. Definitely I would go backagain. Please make reservations in advance. There is valet parking Read more
Been here the first time. The place was bustling and vribrant, even though it was early before dinner time. The staffs all... worked effectively with passion, and they are very professional assisting you on food recommendation. We all love the foods thatwe ordered, in fact they were so good that I just simply could not skip any of them. We will come back again for sure. Read more
