A cute little secret location not many people know about.
I love the french scramble, kale salad and the chlorophyll yogurt. The menu is constantly changing so I always like to try a new dish with my usual. They don't serve coffee but Alfred's coffee is right next door.

I love everything about Sqirl! I always come back with Jam, the Blackberry and Lemon verbena is my favorite. I usually go for breakfast or brunch but everything on the menu is DELICIOUS! The line may look long but it moves fast and it is worth the wait. If you see Jessica the owner there, it's a treat. She's so nice and watch her on munchies making her Stuffed french toast. My mouth is watering just thinking about the crunchy-soft slabs of brioche stuffed with homemade raspberry jam and topped with powdered sugar, crème fraiche, fleur de sel, and a dash of lemon. Hungry now?

Named after Saffron, Ori and Genevieve’s daughter, Saffy’s embodies her whimsical spirit. (Owners of Bestia, my favorite restaurant)
Saffy’s will transport you to another time and place, while still feeling familiar. It’s a Middle Eastern restaurant rooted in traditional flavors and executed using modern techniques. In this intimate space, you’ll be greeted by warm and energetic hospitality, flavors and dishes reminiscent of Middle-Eastern home-style cooking, and unexpected takes on classic desserts.
Saffy’s is your neighborhood haunt, the perfect place to walk in for a seat at the bar, grab a coffee or pastry next door, or to celebrate your next big occasion. During the day, our menu will offer shawarma and falafel wraps, spreads, salads, and shakshuka. Next door you’ll find coffee, tea, breads, and pastries. Dinner service will center around small plates, various house-made breads, seasonal vegetables, and meats that hit the table straight off of the fire.
The heart of Saffy’s lives in the kitchen. Our wood fired shawarma rotisserie, wood burning oven, and hearth for grilling add their own unique character to both the food and the space. Framing the kitchen is a sixteen seat bar, offering vibrant and refreshing cocktails to compliment the food. The wine list features coastal Mediterranean and island wines, focusing on small grower producers committed to healthy agriculture.
The design is reminiscent of late 1960s early 1970s Morocco, layering colors, textures, and finishes over the original art deco architecture of the building.
This is Saffy’s place – where you can eat with your hands, drink with your friends, and get into some mischief.

Sun Nong Dan is David Chang’s favorite Korean restaurant in LA. Their galbijjim—rustic, big enough for at least two, and served sizzling in a big stone dish—is his go-to dish.

Griffith Park, a lot of people think of the beloved Los Angeles attraction, Griffith Observatory. But this urban park covers more than 4,000 acres and features several attractions. It’s one of the largest urban parks in the country, meaning there’s a lot to see here without even having to leave the city.
What can you do at Griffith Park? Where do I begin? There are hiking trails, museums, zoos (new and old), the planetarium inside the observatory, the Hollywood Sign, a garden, a theater — and more. Let’s just say there’s enough here for an LA day trip right inside the park.
