NARA Mediterranean Bistro and Lounge — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I used to love this place .now with the new owners this place is not what used to be . I called and made a reservation for eight people on a Saturday night it was my birthday and I was so excited to celebrate with my cousins. I was told they have a D.j and Bally dancer.. Food was ok but not the best the portions were so little it was a joke … we were eight people the portions we got would barley feed four…they have a set menu on weekends music was too loud they were playing rap music all night .. it felt like we were at a night club .

We get home and start pulling out our food and the first thing we find is grocery store type pita in the original bag. The rest of the food was pretty good, although the beef shawarma was a bit dry. The falafel and baba ghanoush were delicious. Not a pleasant experience though, and with so many Mediterranean options in the area, we won’t...

This was the most horrible place to eat, first of all no one had a mask on, second the chicken was cold, and my brother was crying the whole time cuz he was feeling some type of way towards that place which put me in a very awkward position with my family and friends like I was there to relax and have some fun but the place felt so depressing I had to get out there quick, and after I ate I felt a lil sick and went to the bathroom to vomit,I gatta admit they have nice bathrooms but I left my mark there on the middle right corner, anyways so I came outa there kinda half cleaned up right and order some water to refresh so they had the audacity to give me a water cup WITH NO ICE I’ve felt disgusted and had to...
