Mizlala West Adams

Tucked into West Adams directly across from Alta, Mizlala’s second location offers a more laid-back take on the beloved Sherman Oaks original. This is counter-service Israeli food done right—no frills, no fuss, just incredibly satisfying flavors in a relaxed setting. The patio seating adds to the casual vibe, making it a perfect spot when you want something delicious without the formality of a sit-down restaurant.

The menu keeps things simple, but every option delivers. The chicken shawarma stands out with its well-seasoned, salty punch that hits all the right notes. The spiced kefta is equally impressive, packed with warm Middle Eastern spices. You can order any protein tucked into a pita, tossed over a fresh salad, or as a plate alongside rice, creamy hummus, and vegetables—so there’s something for every appetite and dietary preference.

Before you sit down, make sure to grab some pickled sides from the bar—they add the perfect tangy contrast to the rich proteins. And whatever you do, don’t overlook the vegetable sides. The fried broccoli and Brussels sprouts are both standouts, crispy and flavorful enough to convert even the most dedicated carnivore.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick solo lunch, looking for a spot that caters to vegan and vegetarian friends, or just craving something wholesome and satisfying, Mizlala West Adams delivers. It’s unpretentious, delicious, and exactly the kind of neighborhood gem that makes exploring LA’s food scene so rewarding.
