Review: This is the restaurant we have been craving!! Fully dedicated gluten-free Mediterranean food!! Levant is a fantastic option if you don’t want to worry about your gluten allergy at all in LA - Lebanese food is incredibly flavorful and always hits the spot. We got the garlic herb bread, cheese sambousek, turmeric veggie soup, chopped kale salad, Merguez sausage flatbread, and what I believe was the kafta karaz. Everything was exceptional, from the service to the atmosphere to the food! The garlic herb bread was especially incredible, the soup was super aromatic, and the kafta karaz was our favorite dish! The rice that came with it was addicting and the lamb was amazing - it came out cooked on cinnamon sticks and was so unique! I highly recommend the kafta karaz if you want one dish. Overall, we will definitely be back whenever we are craving Lebanese food…which is a lot!

Review: Fantastic meal! The food and service were great. The patio seating was lovely. I enjoyed everything, especially the Goat Cheese and Fig Jam and the Lebanese Egg Pie. I had no idea it was all gluten free until after the meal. It was all very good.

Review: This place was absolutely incredible and such a hidden gem in echo park. So much flavor and attention to detail in every single dish, and the ambience + service was lovely. Food: - The garlic herb bread was divine- I’d go back here just for this. The bread was surprisingly gluten free and had a yummy chewy texture mixed with fresh cheese and herbs inside. - The platter - this was deliciousss and came with freshly made, gluten free pita bread and 3 different dips (each of which were sooo flavorful and balanced). Everything on the platter was so good, we couldn’t stop eating haha. Even the rice was well seasoned with a slight apple cinnamon flavoring. Could tell that the ingredients they used were very fresh- the server told us all the meats were organic & grass fed which was a nice plus :) - Dessert - this was our first time trying Knafeh which is melted cheese encased in a crispy flour shell with pistachio & lavender. SO good, we were so full after this but our forks couldn’t stop going back for more. - Drinks - they have a solid drinks selection of coffee, lattes, teas, wine, etc with happy hour from 3-7pm. I had one of their roses which was delicious and paired well with the food Ambiance/parking: - Very clean and friendly service here! It’s nice but not pretentious. Would recommend eating on the patio if the weather’s nice but they also have indoor seating and wifi. - We came on a Saturday at 6pm with a reservation and saw multiple parking spots in the lot right outside the restaurant. Could imagine parking being more difficult at a busier time tho. Overall, I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with anything on their menu- the food was some of the best Mediterranean I’ve had in a while. I’ll definitely be back to try their brunch menu/other items!
