Michelin Bib Gourmand Middle Eastern–California on Hollywood Blvd — crispy Persian rice, phyllo pie, and the best vegetable cooking in East Hollywood
Kismet is a James Beard-nominated, Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant from Sara Kramer and Sarah Hymanson — a partnership that has produced one of the most personal and consistently excellent menus in Los Angeles. The cooking draws from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean traditions with a California sensibility that means vegetables are treated with the same seriousness as proteins. The Persian crispy rice (tahdig) arrives golden and crackling; the chicken and pine nut phyllo pie is buttery and deeply flavored; the lamb belly is herbed and slow-cooked until it requires no real chewing. Brunch is one of the best in the neighborhood. The room is warm, the service knows the menu, and the whole experience feels like eating at a restaurant opened by people who actually think about food.
