THIS RESTAURANT HAS CHANGED LOCATIONS Momed Restaurant Review:

This bright and modern Mediterranean café, marketplace and wine bar bustles with a casual Beverly Hills crowd. Relax indoors amid sleek modern décor or on the lively sidewalk patio and discover interesting boutique wines and craft beers from Greece, Israel, Morocco or France. Don’t expect plates like those of a typical local kebab joint --- this is a sophisticated take on the region’s cuisine. Classic mezze like hummus and baba ghanouj reach an apex here, but don’t miss the avocado hummus or baleela, warm chickpeas and pine nuts in melted brown butter with preserved lemon. Breakfasts from the wood oven include organic egg dishes and house-made merguez sausage. Lunch options range from pide, traditional Turkish flatbreads, to a lamb burger on a house-baked challah bun. Dinner might involve wood-roasted salmon with cashew salsa verde or pan-roasted organic lemon chicken with za’atar, concluded with baklava bread pudding with date syrup or pistachio cheesecake.
