Kismet is one of the landmarks of East L.A. hipsters. We can prove them right, because these little plates to share are simply perfect. Inspired by Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine, lemon and sesame chicken, falafel vegans, hummus with pesto and fresh onion and eggplant salads are modern, creative and exquisite. The blond wood decor is refreshing and the minimalist atmosphere enhances these well-crafted dishes. The restaurant is small, so a reservation is essential in the evening, unless you are only two guests: in this case, you can try your luck at the last minute.

Phenomenal, everything was delicious. Went for dinner and we were not disappointed. The beans in many dishes were cooked perfectly and created a nice base of flavor and texture. The salmon was also cooked perfectly. Nice variety of flavors and great service.

The food is not good not bad, it's ok. You have to order a series of dishes in order to get a full meal, it's very difficult to find someone who shares your taste in food to share everything like that. The waiter named Carrie was super nice a little busy but nice, the other one shaved big muscled guy was either really tired or had a bad attitude in general, not very welcome, like if Regina George was working there. The layout is very packed and it gets loud, we got a table in the middle of other two groups, when I say in the middle is in the middle you are like 30 cms away from the other table, we had to move cause it was unbearable, like on of those family reunions with a bunch of loud kids, and everybody speaking loud to make themselves understood at the same time. We were two people trying to have dinner and a normal talk so it didn't really work out. There's no cocktails only wine. Dessert menu was OK, I got something like icecream/cheescake/cake/with marshmallow it was ok. I had to order the chicken to go because it took forever as we were being served after the 30 people group.
