Dune Downtown — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Absolutely delicious Mediterranean restaurant located right in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, making it the perfect lunch stop on a sunny summer weekend. All of their seating is outdoors, but you'll be shaded from the sun with their lovely olive green umbrellas, and the service is still incredible from the moment you take a seat to when you leave for your next LA adventure. You can order from a window in the storefront, and all of the utensils, napkins, and water is available at self-service stations on the edges of the restaurant area.

All of their food is delightful and incredibly fresh. I enjoyed their hummus and tabbouleh plate, subbing out the pita for cucumber for their gluten-free option, and every single part of it was absolutely delicious! They were incredibly generous with the hummus, and the tabbouleh (which is made with quinoa and therefore also gluten-free!!) tasted incredibly fresh and all-around wonderful. Both the rich, creamy hummus and light tabbouleh paired perfectly with the super flavorful pickled turnips and radishes, olives, and marinated cabbage and onions. The cucumbers (or, if you aren't gluten-free, flatbread) were perfect for scooping up the last bits of hummus at the end of the meal and breaking up the saltiness and powerful flavors of the other parts of the platter. My parents tried out their hummus and grilled chicken plate, as well as their hummus and lamb plate, and they were both incredibly impressed by the quality of the meat (and flatbread) and the way both proteins paired with the hummus and pickled veggies.

I really appreciate how clearly all of their allergens were marked, and the staff was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating of dietary restrictions. All in all, whether you're vegetarian or not, gluten-free or not, allergic to nuts or not, Dune has something for you, and I can guarantee that it'll be fresh...

We came in with a group of 5 people for lunch at 12 PM and ordered the Hummus & Grilled Chicken Plate. The plate has tons of flavor from every bite, with each ingredient serving its own purpose. Everything was perfectly balanced. Nothing too salty, sweet, spicy, or savory. The portion sizes are pretty large. There are small outdoor and indoor seating, with some tables only able to hold 2 people at a time.

Summary: CLEANLINESS. Very clean and organized. There are some tables inside and outside. COSTS. $$ Decently priced for the quality and amount served. (About $22 per plate at the time of this writing.) CUSTOMER SERVICE. The staff were very fast and professional. FOOD QUALITY. The ingredients were freshly prepared. You can tell none were prepackaged or left sitting there for hours. FOOD QUANTITY. A large-sized portion. WAIT TIME. We went in around 12 PM, which is generally the peak lunch time. Quick service. 10-15...

Okay, so I was super excited to eat here. I just moved across the street and was recommended. I ordered my food after being treated rudely because I didn’t realize they don’t take cash. After getting home I realize the lamb is literally like a lamb patty? Texture of like canned meat. Everything was just a mess, there was so much hummus the bottom of the togo container was damp. (It’s a cardboard material) overall I’m just confused, like what kinda style they are going for. I spent 40$ for one person and was the biggest waste of food and money. I tried to eat it but was like someone took a bunch of Greek food, shook it up and threw it in a box. Will not...
