Fattoush’s entrance on West Pico Boulevard.
Fattoush, a new glatt kosher charcoal grill restaurant, is now open on West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles. The restaurant soft-opened in early October, bringing the mezze-and-grill tradition of Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda market to the Pico-Robertson corridor: small plates, fresh salads, warm laffa and skewers off the live-fire grill, all shared at the table. The restaurant takes its name from the Levantine bread salad.
The Menu
Thirteen skewers come off the live-fire grill. The lineup runs from the signature Israeli Kabob, ground beef with sumac onion, to the Persian Kabob, Shish Kabob, a grilled rib eye and Mergaz, a spiced lamb sausage. Every skewer is ordered a la carte, and any two come with a fresh laffa and twelve house salad dips on the house. The grill runs beef, chicken, lamb sausage and fish.

Starters run from a hummus plate and eggplant baladi to beef cigars, fish arayes, beef baklava, a Jerusalem mix, Fattoush nachos and knaffe pulled beef. Salads include a Jerusalem market salad and a branzino crunch salad. Laffa comes plain or zaatar, and desserts include kataifi cheesecake and knafeh.
