Bavel Los Angeles Reviews
Bavel is easily one of the best restaurants in LA.
The service is always spot-on, the ambience vibrant (and yes, a bit loud), and the food an absolute explosion of flavors. Their famous duck hummus is unreal, the oyster mushrooms are pure perfection, and the grilled prawns are a must. It's defin

What an experience! This is the second time I've been to Bavel and the food was even better than I remembered. With a large group of friends, we were able to try a variety of the dishes and none disappointed. The stars of the show were the bee
Hands down the best meal I've ever had in my life.
It is worth the splurge for a special occasion and treat for yourself. The ambiance is classy with hanging greenery all around that it feels like such an open space. I also loved the open kitchen concept where you see all the chefs working. I would

Loved this place so much! Definitely a restaurant to check out in LA and to celebrate any special occasions. A reservation is definitely needed especially for dinner and if you can choose, I would do the inside because it's such a nice ambiance.

Every dish here was delicious and each paired perfectly with their own sauce. The meat (lamb and beef) were exquisitely tender. Highly recommend the lamb neck and hummus. Valet parking is available. Recommend making a reservation!

Impeccable dining experience.
One of my top restaurants in all of LA!! MUST ORDER: lamb neck shawarma (100/5) - this is a non-negotiable I'm sorry. One of the best lamb dishes I've ever had. Truly fall of the bone tender, ultra delicious, the flat bread is warm and sof
Excellent service.
Okay wine selection. I always bring my own. I like the baba ganoush, mushroom kebab, prawns(my favorite), quail, And whole lamb. Easily clears Bestia by far.
The food is absolutely incredible.
It's family style so everything is shared. However it's very loud inside so it's hard to hear people at your own table. We visited in late September and it was very hot inside the restaurant. Lastly, in the restroom area, they have
Beautiful, clean facility with xlnt service.
Food is mostly unusual and delicious. The lamb neck shawarma..$58...is nothing like shawarma on a rotating spit. The meat is tender and tasty but around 50% fat. I asked the waiter about fat and was told that it's similar to lamb leg, which was

Delicious middle eastern food with a modern vibe.
Came back to Bavel for another dinner. Had a couple cocktails, along with figs, baba ganoush, butter lettuce salad, mushroom skewers, and sweet potato flat bread. Everything was spot on as usual. Will definitely be back again!

I'm still thinking about the meal I had at Bavel.

Ate the beef tar tar here last night and ended up throwing up all night long with the shivers. I'd say you should avoid that dish this weekend.
TLDR My meal just seemed okay.
I enjoyed the dishes at Bestia a lot more. The appetizers were better than my entree. Cocktails were just okay as well nothing on the menu sounded interesting. Service was very good though. Seems like an okay place to just come and share some appetiz

Quite simply the best place we are in LA. The theme here is cooking on a fire with mostly North African Arabic influence. Everything is amazing but my favourites: Duck Nduja hummus Lamb chops Flame grilled mushrooms Flatbreads Could go on really.

Dropped in for dinner with my boyfriend on a Tuesday.

Came here for a friend's birthday.
The interior of the restaurant was nice - if not, a bit crowded. The music was pretty loud so it was difficult to talk with friends. Street parking. Ordered the oyster mushroom skewer, prawns, bread, baba ghanoush hummus, celery root, and the dorade

Connect with users posting reservations for Bavel Los Angeles
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Bavel Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bavel Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bavel Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Bavel Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bavel Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
