Recently, I had the pleasure of savoring the exquisite Baby Lamb Chops at a local restaurant, and I must say that it was an unforgettable culinary experience. The dish showcased the chef's skillful mastery of flavors and the tender succulence of the lamb.

I've been here only twice and I think it's the best hookah lounge I've been to for a long time and for sure the best in Los Angeles. Hookahs are clean and washed to where they look like brand new and owner is extremely friendly and warm to all customers. Such a great feeling when you find out that your business is appreciated. Well done and I'm coming back.

When the hipsters were walking out of the WeHo Pride festivities on Saturday night, they were all jamming into either Shake Shack or Barney's Beanery. Predictable choices, of course, but Jamie W. and I were looking to avoid the crowds and found this family-run Middle Eastern restaurant right on the corner of La Cienega and Santa Monica. Except for one party of five, it was empty. Probably because they have a hookah lounge, they're open until 5AM every night, a factoid that might be helpful for some future night of debauchery. It was only around 9PM when we showed up, and we were warmly greeted by the female owner. We immediately went for the $8.50 Lentil Soup which was richly thick with chickpeas and a pat of butter (photo: https://bit.ly/454veea). That was genuine homestyle comfort food. We could've had another bowl easily. Instead we both ordered wraps for our entrees. Jamie ordered the $17.99 Beef Kabob Sandwich (photo: https://bit.ly/456ZWDL), while I went for the same priced Kofta Kabob Sandwich (photo: https://bit.ly/3KhuQ43). Both were encased in soft pita bread slathered in fresh hummus with lettuce and tomato. The meat was juicy in both, and the fries were properly addictive. Is it hookah time?
