KISMET
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.

Cucumbers- this is a great dish to start the meal. It is super light and refreshing, loved the zatar seasoning.
Lemony chicken pies- these pies are puff pastry stuffed with lemony chicken and pine nuts, super delicious!
Carrots- the carrots were super smoky with Moroccan spices. The sweetness of the carrots paired nicely with the spice, incredible dish!
Chile Chicken Skewers- the chicken was very moist and flavorful. Each order comes with 2 skewers, I could’ve definitely had more!
Persian Crispy Rice- this was my dish of the night. I’ve never had anything like it. The rice was buttery and had good texture with the crisped rice on the top. The rice was topped with currants and pumpkin seeds, a must have!
Overall, loved my time here. I can definitely see why it is a Michelin bib gourmand rated restaurant!
