Mazal is a family owned Israeli-inspired restaurant featuring craft beer selections from up and down the coast as well as natural and organic wines from around the world. The restaurant was founded by LA native, Tal Zaiet, & the menu was inspired by the owner’s mother, Hanni. Tal and his father, Davis, also hand-built the entire restaurant – inside and out – from scratch for over 2 years before officially opening their doors in November 2020. Their traditional take on timeless middle eastern spreads can be the centerpiece of any meal on their own. The remainder of the vegetarian menu has a wide variety of gluten free and vegan options and many of the fruits, herbs, & spices are grown by the family themselves in their orchard in Agua Dulce.
Laid-back Israeli restaurant offering a vegetarian menu of sharing plates, plus a terrace.

Friendly service and a family run affair: With Tal who manages front of house, his mum Hanni cooking 5 dishes at the same time, while their dad selects fresh produce from their farm (40 miles outside LA).
The food reminded us of the better farm to table restaurants in Israel. The decor is very Israeli with menorah’s by the window and the setup is like a casual bistro.
The menu is simple (one page) but has some gems. We couldn’t decide between the dips, so we requested a dip platter (off menu, they can accommodate if the kitchen isn’t too busy).
It comes with 4 dips: Magreb tahini (spicy tahini), fresh cool babaganoush (eggplant), fresh whipped hummus with chickpeas and spicy tahini.
The asparagus was amazing with a bed of what felt like muhamarra, made of red bell peppers from their local farm and walnuts. I could scoop that dip for days with a pita.
The shawarma oyster mushrooms was our main entree, it comes with a delicate cannellini purée that definitely needs the side of mint chimichurri. The mushrooms are fried and benefit from the freshness of the puree and the freshness of the mint chimichurri.
Finally we wanted to save some room for desserts so we bagged many of the dips for lunch the next day – even better the next day.
Tao recommended the coconut baklava and it was gone before you can say bak la what?
This promoted us to get a second dessert which we knew we’d share with the rest of the fam, and we opted for the classic marbled halva, despite being tempted by the pistachio. Of the two, the coconut baklava was my favorite.
Tip: Free street parking
Tip: If the weather permits, sit in the outside patio for an amazing experience.
The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy. The cozy and intimate setting made for a delightful evening, and I cannot wait to return to sample more of their vegetarian dishes, each of which was truly mouthwatering. I also want to express my gratitude for the mint tea, which is the greatest as it simply contain fresh leaves.
This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates good food and a cozy setting. I can’t wait to come back again!
I have to say as a person that is mostly plant based this is definitely one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Los Angeles. I have been here three times now and all three meals have been exceptional. There are certain things that I always go back to, including the hummus, Moroccan carrots, labneh, and of course, the fresh pita bread. I will typically try one of the specials every time I visit just to try something new and I have been disappointed by nothing. Staff are friendly and the service is great. I highly recommend Mazal for everyone, including veg and non veg folks in and around Los Angeles!
The food is amazing. The baba ganouj is particularly noteworthy. The pita are light and fluffy. This is the closest you can get to the experience in Israel that you’ll see in the US.
