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.

昨晚朋友約食飯,去食地中海菜,我在地中海兩個禮拜,完全未見過這些菜式,那唯有用全新的心情去試吓啦。
咁當然唔合我口味喇,雖然生意不錯,但係我真係唔識欣賞。

Sadly very disappointed. Was visiting from the East Coast, and had read a lot about Kismet so was excited to try. My friend and I got take-out and I went all out since I was on vacation and everything sounded great. It was so oily, and not flavorful. The flakey bread reminded me of a sponge- I wanted to wring it out and get the excess oil out. The crispy rice was similarly oily and not flavorful. The greens were overcooked. I actually made myself a peanut butter sandwich and didn't eat most of the food. Makes me appreciate Oleana in Boston and other authentic middle eastern spots.

I had a wonderful meal here last night with friends. We ordered a wonderful feast of veggie items. The waiter was super kind and shared his favorites and best options for us. We got the Persian rice that never misses, marinated feta, flaky bread, labneh, gem salad and some other dishes. I’ve been here many times over the years and always so good. Don’t miss out on the passionfruit cheesecake, a must!

Visited for the first time a few weeks ago. The dinner was spoiled from one server who was incredibly rude to my friend, who was visiting from overseas and simply asked about wifi. I asked to speak with a manager about this - and somebody came over - who was nonchalant and said “there was an incident earlier this evening involving him”. Very unexpected for a Michelin Bib restaurant.

Then, after a 4% surcharge for Employee Health, the waitstaff hands you an iPad to select a tip. The pre-selected options are 20%/25%/30%. Very bold, in my opinion, for service that isn’t extraordinary!

Kismet was just an absolute delight. Fresh and vibrant ingredient forward dishes, great wine selection and very kind service to boot!

Big recommend.
