Carmel transports the energy, culture, and flavor of the renowned outdoor marketplace “Shuk HaCarmel” to Melrose Avenue, in the heart of LA’s food scene.

Using some of the oldest techniques in the world— a wood-burning oven, an open flame grill— chef Asaf Maoz interprets ancient Levantine cooking traditions through a modern lens.

Dishes showcase the best of the season: farmer’s market produce, sustainably-sourced meats and seafood, all prepared with the global culinary influence of the Tel Aviv shuk. Breads are baked in-house, including a 72-hour fermented Moroccan Frena, baked to order in the wood-fire oven.

    We had amazing time at Carmel. Great food. Lots of innovation in the dishes. The pastas were really good. Service was excellent. Really good wine list and the Somm is very knowledgeable. A little pricy but what isn't these days.

    We tried Carmel for the first time last night to celebrate my husband's bday! The service was great, and the food was excellent. The only downside is we sat at a table that felt very cramped -- we hope to sit in a booth next time :)

    One of the best dining experiences every single time ! Food and Service are both fantastic. Great ambience. The mushroom cigars & bread are a must for starters and everything else on the menu- including the sea bass, cauliflower, sweet potatoes......etc. It's all so flavorful and delish.
    CarmelResponded on 17 January 2025
    Thank you so much for such a sweet review, Erin. A returning costumer is one of the greatest compliments. We'll see you next time!
