Arts District, Los Angeles · restaurant
Middle Eastern flavors anchor the menu at this Arts District warehouse, running from malawach (a flaky layered flatbread with grated tomato, dill crème fraîche, and a soft-boiled egg) to slow-cooked large-format meats and spreads meant to fill the whole table. The cooking leans on aromatic wood smoke and house-cured charcuterie, and the room (exposed brick, double-height ceilings) stays full deep into the evening.
