Akasha

Review of the Week

Focusing its menu on organic and sustainable products, Akasha in Culver City offers New American comfort food with an eco-friendly spin. Even the impressive interior design reflects the restaurant's love of the earth: the walls are fashioned from reclaimed barn wood and recycled glass tiles were used for the floor. After your meal, make it a Dinner and a Movie night with one of our featured films.
