    Our second experience at a Bacari restaurant and first time at the Silverlake location. This is a beautiful resturaunt with outdoor seating and lovely rustic interior. Our server Dawud was attentive and efficient, had a great sense of humor and the food was delishous.  We especially enjoyed the lettuce cups with shrimp and squid, and the chicken Shawarma tacos.  The tacos didn't come with any hot sauce or salsa but you can ask for some. Cocktails were strong. The purple Chill Pill was outstanding. We were there for brunch but will definitely be coming back to truly their dinner menu ! Thank you Bacari!

    The setting is utter magic, pool on one side, Deco fireplace on the other. The food is terrific, especially the ethereal dips (best baba ganoush ever) and veggie mezze. Service is warm and friendly. And love, love the banquette seating. Get there before the hordes find out about it.
