Sumac Mediterranean Cuisine

Best Lebanese restaurant in LA Great food, great service, location is in the downtown LA The restaurant looks fresh and well maintained, The food is super delicious, we started with some appetizers; Hummus, Kibbeh; Fool (fava beans) it came out on time and we’re hot and delicious We ordered as well some cheese and Thyme pies that were super authentic, the flavor is super yummy We had the grape leaves along the makanik that had the real Lebanese taste We ended up with some baklava which I really missed the flavor of it along a Turkish coffee that you can smell before it reach the table Thank Stephanie for a great service!

I made a 4:30 PM Open Table reservation. When we arrived at the restaurant it was open, but empty. We were informed by front of the house staff that the chef said he was too busy and we could not be served! So we left to find another place to eat.

Really friendly owner. Good food and nice place. My son and I enjoyed it.

I made a reservation for Saturday evening, March 4th at 6 pm, and I received both an email and a text message confirming the reservation. But when we arrived at the restaurant we discovered that it was closed for a private event. The host of the event was very nice and offered to have us join them, but that wouldn't have been comfortable for us and so we declined. I repeatedly asked to speak with the owner or manager to get an understanding of how this snafu had happened, but they declined to come out and speak with us. A few moments after we left a waiter came rushing down the street to apologize and to offer us a free meal in the future, but again there was no explanation, and we were left scrambling to find somewhere nearby suitable to eat before curtain time for the play for which we had tickets.

The food was okay, but personally, I didn't enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant. Having a table in the center of the room with unrelated items on display didn't add to the ambiance
