Came for my boyfriend’s birthday had a perfect dinner at bavel!

I think Bavel is the best restaurant I have ever dined at. Delicious food, positive vibe, great service, fun location, great service. Book far in advance! I’m not the only one who shares this sentiment,

As always the food and over all experience was amazing!

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Get the mushroom, get the prawns and get the crudoooo

Every course was amazing. Got the malawach for the first time and it definitely wasn’t the last. Great service.

Everything was so on point. So great to see this magical place back open and clearly crushing it!

Had dinner with my family here. What an exceptional experience. Every dish was delicious. Could not recommend more.

Best of its kind, i like all the dishes we ordered especially the lamb neck.

the hostess obviously didn't read our special request to have our two parties (that was split which was fine) be seated by adjacent tables. she was very rude and her tone was condescending as she cut me off before i could make our request in person. just sad that her attitude seemed to come off from that our family was asian - she didn't seem to have issues with any other families! i don't know why she was so insistent upon this, as we were there early and there were plenty of empty seats available that were adjacent to each other.

the manager was nice and made our accommodations, but seemed to get told off by this hostess after he came back and sat us. yikes! you would think at what's considered a "fine dining" restaurant you would have good service, or at least a manager who would be able to correct the mistakes of their ill-trained staff, but that wasn't the case. the hostess was very toxic! to clarify it's the latina hostess with straight hair, not the curly haired hostess.

The food was delicious and dining experience was very pleasant.

Excellent food, gorgeous atmosphere, service was good, but not as strong as it could be given the high price of the meal.

Far exceeded my expectations. With the 1.5 hour drive. Loved the atmosphere, the vibe. Loved the open seating snd watching them cook. Jams were dope, just a bit loud. Server was very experienced and knew exactly what to suggest on the menu. I liked that he didn’t try to oversell us. Everything we ate was yummy. Lamb was incredible. Excited to finally try it, and more excited after we left. It was for my husbands bday. So it was perfect all around. We stayed 2 hours and couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Perfect place to celebrate post-vaccination with friends. Lovely, safe, socially distanced space. Great looking setting filled w happy people, thrilled to be out! Great drinks ( try the Emily and and Chana) and delicious spreads and appetizers. Hard to pick favs, but I will: try baba ganoush, cauliflower, spicy prawns.

Bavel did a really nice job of social distancing and setting up outdoor dining spaces. The service was good and the food was outstanding. Will be back again soon.

The food was very flavorful - every single thing we ordered. The waitstaff was very considerate of my son's allergies and checked with the kitchen to let us know what items to avoid on the menu so he could choose from the "safe" items. They didn't appear put out by all the allergies and were so helpful! We can't wait to come back!

Sad to see the tomatoes were not on the menu but the carrot dish we chose to replace it was wonderful. Mushrooms and prawns were the highlight of our starters with the steak as the main course, also fantastic.

Hope to get the main terrace next time.

The best meal I've had all year! Every dish was soooo delcious and the staff was so kind.

Great food and great service! Disappointed that one of my favorites (chicken tagine) was not on the menu. Hope they bring it back soon!

Both the dinner and the ambience are absolute perfection!

The food was OUTSTANDING

One of the BEST meals I have eaten. Seriously. It’s sooo good. Ambiance is gorgeous. So lush with plants hanging down from the ceiling. This restaurant will not disappoint.

Great food and service

I was my and my family's first dinner out since the pandemic begin over a year ago. It was an absolutely fantastic meal that we enjoyed! We are grateful that you are open and persevering during this rough chapter. Hoping that you are doing well and we look forward to dining with you again in the future.

Great flavors and wonderful staff! Will be back!

Server didn’t acknowledge reservation notes. Very short when he came to the table. Spoke more to the busser than our actual server.

Amazing food dish by dish. Servers were professional and attentive

Such wonderful place to dine out door or in door. Food was flavorful and that fried pita bread was delicious. Lamb neck shawarma very tasty too

It was amazing. We absolutely loved dining here.

Food was excellent and so was the service. Portions are small so you share but this also gives you the opportunity to taste several different items

My husband and I had a lovely dinner! Our waiter Michael was just great as well as the general manager we spoke with as he brought us our food! So thankful that one of favorites survived the pandemic.

Always one of my favorite places to dine! If it was closer I’d come much more often

Excellent as always from the food to the service. Truly a special place and always excited to come back

Middle eastern food on steroids.

Great experience! Delicious food and wine!

Delicious meal & great service, sat outside on the front patio area

Food was unbelievably good, service was great, & the patio was very charming!

Loved it. Great food

Bavel is one of my favorite restaurants in LA! The food is always amazing and delicious! Their outdoor patio tent set up was great and nicely spaced out. Would definitely recommend to check it out!

I have been to Bavel many many times and this time it was a huge disappointment. The quality of the food is not the same but the prices seem to have doubled. I regret my decision to bring a new friend to this restaurant as it wasn't what I had hyped it up to be anymore.
The food seemed overly spiced which is not how I remember it. The ambience was not good and although the service wasn't bad it felt a bit lackluster. You can guarantee I will not be dining here any time soon not least of all due to the fact that everyone is suffering due to the covid crisis and it is no excuse to jack up the prices. I used to order 5 dishes, but I ordered 4. I normally would have a bill of 125 or so for 2 people which is what I was expecting. To pay $175 to sit on a crack in the concrete with a cold draft from a tarp next to us and pay for spicy overpriced food is not an experience I want to repeat. This is also the third time I have ordered a pinot noir at this restaurant to find that they don't carry the selection. Then don't put it on your menu!
