The experience we had at Mazal was exceptional. The service was warm and welcoming, and the food was delicious and authentic—we felt like we were back in Israel. Standouts included the pita, mezze, beets, eggplant & Falafel main, and the homemade baklava and halva. We wish we lived in LA and could make this our new neighborhood haunt.
