My M and I had a wonderful dining experience at Taboon Mediterranean Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — the hummus with chicken was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the lamb was perfectly tender and cooked just right. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The restaurant itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy your meal. The staff was also friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean flavors!

Hollywood

About the restaurant

Carmel transports the energy, culture, and flavor of the renowned outdoor marketplace “Shuk HaCarmel” to Melrose Avenue, in the heart of LA’s food scene.

Using some of the oldest techniques in the world— a wood-burning oven, an open flame grill— chef Asaf Maoz interprets ancient Levantine cooking traditions through a modern lens.

Dishes showcase the best of the season: farmer’s market produce, sustainably-sourced meats and seafood, all prepared with the global culinary influence of the Tel Aviv shuk. Breads are baked in-house, including a 72-hour fermented Moroccan Frena, baked to order in the wood-fire oven.

About the restaurant

Delicious and colorful California-fresh ingredients are the soul of our thoughtfully crafted and constantly evolving Mediterranean-inspired menu. Savor the spectacular array of seasonal vegetables, lean proteins, seafood, whole grains and artisanal pasta, breads and cheeses that invigorate our kitchen in healthy and exciting ways. Steps away, our comfortable and welcoming dining room is complemented by a bar/lounge and two outdoor patios that take full advantage of Southern California’s mild climate and the vibrancy of the UCLA campus to create an unforgettable year-round al fresco dining experience.

Seating at Plateia is first come first serve, as we don't guarantee location of table with a reservation, but if you have a reservation, you are guaranteed a table!
Plateia is a dog friendly restaurant, but even with a reservation, a wait may be necessary if the patio is full.
