Open Sesame has a wide variety of Mediterranean food that is very authentic and tasty providing a selection of meat from chicken and lamb to beef. The taste melts in your mouth. They have good quantity for big groups.

Delicious Mediterranean food! We got the chicken and beef shawarma and they were both really great, huge portions, and full of flavor! They also have delicious deserts and drinks as well. The staff was so attentive and nice, it was overall a vet lovely dining experience.

This is a very good restaurant for Lebanese food! I'm not Lebanese but I'm from Dearborn Michigan, which is known for having the best Lebanese food in the US. So I can safely say that Open Sesame is very legit, one of the only places I've found outside of Michigan that's this good. Highly recommended! I also appreciate the nice selection of vegan options.

The food at Open Sesame was so good (got the sea bass and tabbouleh). Service as on point too and the portions are very generous. Will definitely come back here

Had a delicious dinner. My fave was the orange blossom tea and the rose ice cream baklava crumble. Will have to return for the cheesecake. The labneh was also especially good. Enjoyed the music and ambiance.

Wonderful dinner and experience at this excellent Mediterranean restaurant. Service was top notch, food was delicious, and ambiance was great. We had the flas fried cauliflower and fries for an app. I had the Open Sesame combo and it was A++ Check out this spot when in LA

The food and service were top notch from beginning to the end. My two daughters with SIL and future SIL were with me, party of five(ha, iykyk). The hostess that greeted me could not have been nicer, they knew it was the night before my daughter's wedding and they had two options for us to choose from for seating. Above and beyond. The waiter was knowledgeable and super nice. The food was amazing! Everything tasted so fresh. Amazing experience! Give this place a try ASAP.

Outstanding Middle Eastern cuisine at very reasonable prices! The manager, Adam, and all the servers are very friendly and helpful. Place is rather small and tight, but I guess that's what gives it its charm.

I had the open sesame combo which was delicious. The garlic sauce is so delicious and the baba ghanoush was really smoky. The tabbouleh was perfect. The workers are all very nice and attentive!

Had dinner for 4, we were able to get seated immediately and had fantastic service. Ordered the halloumi watermelon (please get it) and the beef shawarma (love)

Absolutely loved Open Sesame in Beverly Hills! The food was beyond amazing — every dish was bursting with authentic Lebanese flavor. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, and the staff made the whole experience even better. You can really feel the heart and tradition behind every plate. Highly recommend this spot if you want a true taste of Lebanon in LA!

If you’re looking for the best authentic Lebanese food in Los Angeles, then this is your place. I can’t believe it’s taking me this long to come here, but I am so glad I did. Every single dish we had transported us back to Lebanon into my grandma’s kitchen. I highly recommend the grape leaves the homeless and the spicy potatoes for our main dish. We got the beef and chicken kebabs and they were phenomenal. They have such a wide selection of food for almost every diet and their drink menu is creative. Can’t wait to come back!

Came here for take out and enjoyed every dish. We ordered right around when they opened for dinner service and went to pick it up in about 20 minutes. The person at the front was super nice and accommodating to us. The food was excellent with the falafel being the standout for me. It was crisp as it was freshly made and paired well with the flatbread that came with the order. I wish we had the time to sit down for dinner as the outdoor space could seat a large party. Next time.

Here to give a shoutout to our server, (wish we got her name)She was so kind and sweet. We really enjoyed our meal and her service! the falafel is to die for 🧆 The atmosphere is cozy and pretty, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Entrée portions are generous and definitely shareable but very disappointing desserts. Or may it was just not a good dessert day haha. Btw, don’t leave without trying their tamarind and yogurt drinks😌

The flash fried cauliflower was so good! Im absolutely hooked and will definitely come back! I got the open sesame combo also which was phenomenal. There are so many other dishes that I would love to try.

Love this place - You can’t go wrong with any dish! The service staff are wonderful and the owner is very attentive. He checks in with you to make sure everything is going well, which remind me of the amazing and authentic hospitality abroad. Highly recommend!

Super decent restaurant, as a Lebanese girl I give this restaurant the stamp of approval haha. The food was very good and I was glad to see that the drink options had classic Arab drinks that you don’t usually see in a Lebanese restaurant in America (jallab for example). Very well priced. Worth a shot!

This place is wonderful, the food is amazing and the garlic sauce is addicting. I could eat spoonfuls of it. Cocktails and drinks were a 9/10, service was stellar and the atmosphere was my favorite part. Will definitely be back at some point.

Excellent food: delicious spicy hummus (and they don’t chintz on the “spicy”), falafel, and halloumi. Kids liked the spicy garlic potatoes. Cauliflower was hot but a bit bland. Had tahini on the side, but also not flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive. Seats undesirable: small, round, and hard. Is it impossible to find a lovely slender female paratrooper? Am I reaching for the stars?

What a great place to eat on Beverly Blvd. The food was great but the service was outstanding. Everything was on point. No trash like used napkins or used dishes were left to sit in front of us. Drinks were refilled before they ran out and so much courtesy and attentiveness. Definitely going back.

Great experience. One of the men that kept refilling my water was so sweet! He made me smile each time! The food was pretty good, great portions, I did think the chicken shawarma was just a little dry but still very good. The chocolate cake with almond ice cream was amazing. I asked to add pistachio crumble and it elevated it! I want to come back just for the dessert!!
