A Lebanese husband-and-wife operation where the menu draws directly from Bekaa Valley family recipes—chef Eli Berchan trained at César Ritz in Switzerland and cooked at Raffles Dubai before opening in Hollywood during COVID. The shawarma and housemade baklava from a 1967 family recipe anchor a compact, pomegranate-heavy menu of traditional meze and wraps. Expect a casual, home-like setting with well-executed flavors but modestly portioned plates in the $18-22 entree range.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hummus, Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Baba Ganoush
What Makes it Special: Lebanese husband-and-wife team cooking only the family recipes they grew up eating, including baklava from a 1967 family recipe.

Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken breast kabob plate, Beef shish kabob plate, Falafel plate with hummus
What Makes it Special: Mall-deck Mediterranean spot delivering surprisingly fresh kabob and falafel plates.
Operating out of the same Sunset address as several virtual concepts, Pita Mediterranean Bowls & Brochette focuses on build-your-own bowls, wraps, and burritos built around kabobs, shawarma, and falafel.

Must-Try Dishes:
Falafel Burrito, Chicken Kabob Bowl, Shawarma Mixed Burrito
What Makes it Special: Virtual-kitchen–style bowls and burritos with Mediterranean proteins and toppings.
