Enjoyed the following dishes:
lamb hummus – braised ground lamb, spiced lebanese stew, crudites, sesame, tahini, fresh pita – excellent, very rich!
shawarma tacos – chicken pargiyot, shredded cabbage, pickled red onion, sesame, garlic tahini – quite good as well, nice combo of textures and flavors
jidori chicken wings – buttermilk batter, smoked pepper sauce, blue cheese creme fraiche, scallion – excellent as well, but surprisingly spicy so watch out!
sea bass – pan seared, charred shishito, corn, shallot, tomato, tarragon aioli, pomegranate molasses, grilled lemon – superb as well, loved the sweet flavors of the corn with the sea bass and aioli, and the little bit of smoky flavor from the peppers
Highly recommended.
Food-wise, we ordered a little of everything, and each dish had its own personality:
The Little Gem Salad was crisp and bright, the Octopus had an amazing yuzu kick, the Lamb Hummus was creamy and hearty with warm pillowy soft pita on the side. The Sea Bass was pan-seared and buttery with a tangy balance of charred shishitos and a pop of pomegranate molasses. The Glazed Pork Belly was sticky and rich, and the Stuffed Mushrooms came loaded with melty cheese and delicious pesto.
Portions are small, so plan on 2–3 plates per person, which is really the fun of it — more variety, more to taste.
Service started strong but slipped halfway through — our server kept passing us to help other tables, and my husband had to wave her down several times. Odd, considering it wasn’t even busy on a Tuesday night. Drinks were a mixed bag too: my husband’s Strawberry Fizz Cocktail was refreshing and fruity, while I’m fairly certain my “Spirit Free” SoCal Staple seemed to come with actual spirits. If I were an alcoholic, let’s just say Bacari might be getting a strongly worded letter from my lawyer (kidding… mostly).
Still, Bacari Silverlake is one of those neighborhood gems we keep coming back to — shareable small plates, laid-back vibes, and that dreamy patio make it worth it, even if service can be a little hit-or-miss.
Been to Bacari pdr before but this is better. It feels like dining in a rain forest. The shakshuka is too die for. Our server Dawud made sure every little customization including cinammon in the coffee was taken care of.
Edit add: they have valet parking!!
But ultimately food is what makes a restaurant and the food fell flat in every aspect. We started with the bread and garlic oil. The bread had a decent crust but the oil tasted like absolutely nothing. I actually dipped my finger in there and tasted it by itself to see if the clear liquid in the saucer was water because it was so tasteless. It wasn’t. The oil that comes out of making a simple garlic confit is more flavorful. We got a few plates after this, the salatim which had 3 multi-colored dips that only had the faintest whisper of flavor. The pita was nice and fluffy though, so that’s a plus. Ultimately the salatim was my favorite out of our meal, though try as I might to detect flavor, it didn’t taste like anything at all. Next we got the scallop medallions. It was a decent scallop in terms of size and texture but ultimately had nothing going for it and the carrot parsnip purée that surrounded it really didn’t help. I actually found myself scraping the puree off because I’d rather have the bland scallop by itself without all of the tasteless fuss around it. Lastly we got the ricotta and beet gnocchi. By this point, my partner and I were not expecting anything in the flavor department. This was also bland but had the faintest hint of ricotta taste so my partner liked this best. But again, it tasted very very bland. I didn’t mind my drink, it definitely wasn’t anything special for $18 each. I got the scarlet odyssey. And my partner didn’t like their drink, the Tokyo sunset at all. At the end of our meal, we were mainly just happy that we didn’t order more when we first sat down cause everything was a letdown.
I left more impressed that they made everything taste like nothing because that in itself was a major feat. Highly disappointed with this experience. Which is unfortunate because the environment is beautiful.
Most of their dishes were amazing. But some are just okay. Which is crazy because for the price, I should be in awe with everything.
Overall the service was okay. Our og server was great! Halfway through the meal we got a new server and she lowkey just didn’t care as much.
Overall this place was fun to try out and it was fun to go with a group.
The place is nice with outdoor seating, it’s bit loud and seatings are close to each other like a pub.
