Carmel transports the energy, culture, and flavor of the renowned outdoor marketplace “Shuk HaCarmel” to Melrose Avenue, in the heart of LA’s food scene.

Using some of the oldest techniques in the world— a wood-burning oven, an open flame grill— chef Asaf Maoz interprets ancient Levantine cooking traditions through a modern lens.

Dishes showcase the best of the season: farmer’s market produce, sustainably-sourced meats and seafood, all prepared with the global culinary influence of the Tel Aviv shuk. Breads are baked in-house, including a 72-hour fermented Moroccan Frena, baked to order in the wood-fire oven.

    This is going to be a restaurant to go many more times as well as a restaurant to recommend to family and friends. It is good to know that they also serve brunch on Sundays. We loved the food and can’t wait to try more of the dishes in their menu. The eggplant brûlée was superb, so was their Moroccan Frena bread dish. We also tried the the read snapper schnitzel that many mentioned as a favorite and we could definitely taste why, but I specially loved the Jerusalem artichoke tortellini. You can tell that they work with ingredients of great quality and they know how best to cook them and enhance their flavor. Our server was this very friendly young woman that made you feel comfortable from the beginning. She was able to answer our question about the menu and drinks with knowledge and expertise. She was also great at mastering the times to check in for our satisfaction and needs without interrupting our conversation or invading our space. The ambience and decoration of the space is inviting and the music was at a nice volume that allowed for tranquil conversation without the need for anyone to raise their voice. The only thing I would request next time, Is to sit at a table with all chairs rather than the banquette. This is more of a personal preference because at my age the fluffy seats are not as comfortable and they are more difficult to get up from.

    This is my first time at Carmel , and everything about the experience was amazing. As an Arts District residence I am used to the high level of cuisine offered in the neighborhood like Bavel Camélia and Bestia and Carmel is certainly in the same class

    Fantastic service, delicious food and great atmosphere. A bit loud but as expected for a full and vibrant Saturday night. Amazing birthday dinner. Sitting at the counter was perfect.
