The food, the ambiance, the wine - everything about this place is curated perfectly. The food is consistently a five out of five and the staff is always welcoming and knowledgeable. It's a warm cottage with a charming little outside patio. My favorite place to dine when I'm on this side of town. Two years ago I hosted a large group of friends fir my birthday dinner at the communal table and it was such a beautiful evening people still talk about it to this day! Oh, and the Couscoys Royale is like nothing you've ever experienced!!
Great modern middle eastern cuisine. Little Yellow bungalow at eastern end of Santa Monica Blvd. Great food, wine, beers, service. We’ve run out of affordable downtown restaurants before Symphony/Opera. Now this is a good addition.
I had the beef tongue gnocchi and the cauliflower appetizer. The service and food were excellent, even the ambiance and setting were very pleasing. Nice little spot tucked in an odd spot, but makes it all that much better when found. I will definitely recommend it and come back again.
We had a fantastic experience dining here on NYE. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Charming ambience from the encaustic cement tiles on the floor to the spice racks hanging over the tables to the whitewashed plank walls. We ordered the roasted squash--perfect balance of crunchy/creamy, sweet/salty--even my non-squash loving kids thought it was delicious; the fattoush--fresh tasting with a lovely lemony vinaigrette; the smoky fried rice which we all fought over; the lamb sandwich--perfectly seasoned and wrapped in warm pita; babyback ribs falling off the bone; branzino over beers and creamy parsnip purée, and finished it all off with pots de creme. Everything was cooked perfectly with warm, earthy Mediterranean seasonings. Highly recommended.
Found this place quite by accident, as we were going dancing up the street at the El Cid. Bowery made our night! The food was AMAZING!! Mediterranean cuisine done with such gourmet flair as to leave your pallet wanting to come back for more. This place is on my list as a 'go-to' spot for great food. Highly recommend the Lamb, the Smoked Trout, and the roasted Caulifower. Make the trip, make the moment.
I love this place. Nestled on Santa Monica Blvd just as you go from Hollywood to Silverlake. The food is delicious and authentic. The recipes are based on the owners family recipes with a little twist. Lots of wines to choose from and more than 10 draft beers. If they have the Peanut Butter Stout, try it. It is my favorite.
Delicious! One of George's best menu/service/setting combos, which says a lot, given his other, consistently excellent venues!
Awesome food and great patio to just hang out and enjoy the people that you are with!!
Great service, fresh delicious food and drink, quaint atmosphere. Definitely will return
Wonderfully tasty dishes. The beef tongue was delicious and the Turkish coffee finish just perfect.
Tasty food ... great ambiance & patio ... a comfortable space
Hands down. My favorite spot for lunch and breakfast. I'm alwayst met with warm smiles and excellent service 💜🙏🏼
Unique environment, great food, good staff! Just amazing!
We recently found this place that been around for a year now. Went back two days later with our families. The food is excellent!!!! This is the food I grew up with, with a fabulous modern twist. And the space is beautiful and comfortable. All around, a great experience!!!
This was a FANTASTIC find for our anniversary dinner! The food is AMAZING with flavors that blend and compliment throughout each bite.
I’m not a fan of cauliflower, until now. The grilled cauliflower was remarkable! Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, very authentic Mediterranean food with a modern twist.
Service was also FANTASTIC! Thank you Tim
The food, service and ambience were all excellent. I can't wait to go back.
Great food and wonderful people!! Excellent Middle Eastern food 😋
The photo is the only fish we had that we didn't vibe with. Was just not very flavorful. The corn itself was bland, so if you didn't take a bite with the beautiful display of sauce/cheese, it just wasn't good. OTHERWISE, the Hummus bi Tahini was amazing. I LOVED the chickpeas. They were so crispy, and the gravy was amazing. The beef melted the moment your fork touched it. The rice pudding was also very delicious and not too heavy! Service was great. Atmosphere is so peaceful. Definitely plan on going again to try the lamb!
It's holding hostage the greatest chefs in LA or something. Every time I eat here, my mind feels like I'm learning my senses all over again and should feels replenished.
Service is spot on. Wine and food is top tier kind of food. Staff are kind and serve wonderfully. Cons: mosquitoes galore
I'd say this is my favorite date night or nice outing kind of place. Steak is the best in the menu, a little on the salty side but when mixed with the Smash and crunchy greens. Flawless.
Went on a Tuesday early evening. A nice little bungalow. The inside had a cool bar, but I'd recommend the outside as it was nicely lit and a bit eclectic. First time ever trying beef tongue and it was superb. Can't go wrong with ordering that dish. Service was quick and attentive.
What awesome place to grab a meal! I had just hopped off a plane and was looking for a nice meal to pass time. A friend of mine recommended Bowery Bungalow and I’m glad I said yes! The food was incredible and the flavor profiles were extraordinary. I ordered 3 dishes, and that was a ton of food for just me. Totally recommend the Tahini Toast, Babaganoush, and the Seared Scallops.
Wow - one of the best meals I've ever had!!!
Had the Turmeric Chicken Fried Rice, salad, Beef Cheek Humus, the ribs, and Knafeh and rice pudding desserts. The food items just kept getting better with each dish they brought out!
Bryant took great care of us and the vibe was very pleasant!
We absolutely love this place. Straight up, I’m not a fan of tapas: whoever invented the idea of paying more money for less food is unquestionably an evil person, BUT… the food here is just so damn good. We’ve been a half dozen times and while yes, it’s pricey, it’s worth it. From the inviting patio out back to the charming servers TO THE FOOD(did I mention the food already?) it’s the perfect date night spot, across the board. Also, I know this sounds dumb because like… they’re just potatoes, but don’t sleep on the Spicy Potatoes. They’re kind of life changing.
Every single thing we ordered here was delicious and perfectly executed. I especially enjoyed the Heirloom Tomato Za’atar Bruschetta, Chicken Thigh Kabobs with Yuzu Tahini, and the Knafeh. The Lamb Shank with Pho finishings was a stroke of genius. I would highly recommend this place if you want to enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine.
A wonderful cozy little bungalow you must try to visit if you are at Silver lake. My husband & I have been eyeing this spot for quite a while and wanted to try it out. We finally got here while strolling the streets.
The service and hospitality is outstanding, such nice people. You need to have a reservation for outdoor seating. I liked that its very neat and clean.
We ordered babaghanoush which was so yummy (see in pic). We ordered the baby back ribs which was a popular choice and wanted to give it a try, it was good but little on the dry side because of the dry rub.
Overall, this place has a nice vibe to it. I can see it as a growing spot for dates.
I went two days in a row .. the food is delicious! And the place is cute , cozy perfect for a relax date night . Love it
I cannot stress enough how much I loved my meal at Bowery Bungalow. Fortunately, it was the perfect weather outside, warm with a slight breeze. We sat on the patio under the gazebo with a bottle of wine as the waiter brought out amazing dishes after amazing dish.
Some highlights: the hummus with beef cheek and beef tongue gnocchi were unbelievable. The hen-of-the-woods and beets were also perfect light starters to get the dinner going.
I don’t live in LA but each time I come back, I’ll be at this restaurant.
