- TTifaniLos Angeles •18 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoPrecious was our chef and she was amazing!!!! Food cooked to perfection and super sweet! I appreciate how she read the table. There was an older crowd at her table and she could tell we wanted to eat and not be too entertained by the loud clacking of the knife and spatula! Funny and personable. Would definitely go back to her table!!!More infoBenihana - Downey, CAPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Downey / Norwalk / Santa Fe Springs•3.9

- KKarenVIPTahoe / Reno Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe farm cheese is the best at Bavel. My husband and I also love the baba ghanoush (we always need an extra order of fried pita). The grilled dates have a nice kick to it and it was nice to eat a savory date for once. The lamb rack is always cooked to perfection. Our friend always orders the 26 oz ribeye and finishes it during dinner and my husband and I can see why. Nothing at Bavel disappointed us. I would recommend the cashew ice cream bar over the apple prune cake, but you really can't go wrong with either. It was a great dinner! Also every cheese and milk is pasteurized so despite being 6 months pregnant, I could eat everything!More infoBavelPrice: Expensive• Middle Eastern• Downtown•4.8
