The Best Restaurants & Bars In The Arts District - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Bavel is the middle child restaurant from the people behind Bestia and Saffy’s, two very popular restaurants. Having such well-regarded siblings might seem like a tough gig, but Bavel is our favorite of the family. This upscale Middle Eastern restaurant in the Arts District is a model of consistency, serving deeply personal food that tastes incredible, with reliably great service and a stunning, blockbuster space that still buzzes with the same energy it did when it opened in 2018. The menu is packed with hits, but if it’s your first time, prioritize the malawach platter, grilled prawns with tzatziki, and lamb neck shawarma." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder
