Restaurants Near and Middle East cuisine Los Angeles

Located just a few streets from Weswood Village in the heart of the Tehrut district, Shamshiri Grill is the ideal place to discover the Persian cuisine. The servings are very generous and go mainly to one of the city's best Shish Kebab. The delicious mint tea completes a rich meal with a sweet note.

This little place has been attracting falafel lovers for nearly three decades. It makes sense: they may be the best in Los Angeles. Crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, these dumplings rival shawarma - the traditional kebab of the Middle East - as delicious. Also on the menu: hummus and shish kebab, among others. All at very affordable prices. At lunchtime, it is not uncommon for a long line to stretch out in front of Falafel Arax; it would be a shame not to wait.

South of Wilshire Avenue, Westwood Boulevard is a long succession of oriental restaurants and stores. The aroma of falafels leads you to Sunnin Leban Cafe. Among the specialties, we particularly recommend the moujadara - a lentil puree prepared with rice and caramelized onions - and the houmous kawarma - with beef fillet. Although the prices seem rather affordable, Lebanese food lovers will quickly run up the bill, curious to try several preparations.
