Before I get into the delicious food, let me describe my favorite concept of this restaurant. Every month they identify a new... refugee from the Tiyya foundation who brings forth a recipe from their hometown for which in that particular month that refugeegets a cut from the money the restaurant makes (I believe 5%). This also ensures they have a diverse monthly menu. They alsoreport that 40% of proceeds go directly to the Tiyya Foundation to support their programs! So you can rest assured that some ofyour money is going back to the community to do something good. Now that I explained that let?s get into the food. I know oneword that can never be used to describe it ?bland?! We ordered 2 main courses and 2 appetizers and they were all deliciouslyspiced differently. The goat was cooked to perfection and so tender it melted off the bone. As for the appetizers- they are sohearty and priced mostly <$10 which is impressive for the amount you get. If the sambusa (samosa) is on the menu - grab it ! Itis super delicious - the beef and cheese and the potato and cheese are my favorite and it comes with a spiced yogurt dippingsauce that is so unique and divine. Lastly, the service is impressive. They waiters and owner are so attentive to your needs,are happy to answer questions and are very supportive of each other. It feels like dining with family. If you are in LA youhave to stop by and try this gem! Read more

Really cool concept - the restaurant is a social enterprise that supports the Tiyya Foundation. And every month there?s a... rotational menu inspired by one of the refugees the foundation is supporting. And 40% of the proceeds go to supporting thefoundation! Food was delicious - staff was amazing, especially with how they treated our 2 yo daughter. And the baklava wasthe best I?ve ever had!! Read more
Amazing experience overall. Flavors from Afar had been on my radar for months and I decided to finally visit when my parents... were in town. This month, they are featuring Indo-Fijian cuisine. This was such a special experience because this cuisinereflects my heritage. I was so grateful to share this experience with my father and eat the food that his mother would haveeaten. I felt that this meal brought me closer to my heritage, so a special thank you to Lauren and Christian. Flavors from Afaralso has a wide variety of other items on the menu that were delicious. This was such a powerful meal and I look forward toeating here again. Read more

This restaurant has a unique, authentic, and absolutely delicious menu. They are also on the michelin guide as of 2022! When I... came they were serving Kenyan food. I got the Mbizu plate and it was absolutely delicious. Will come again to see what the newmenu tastes like next month :) (though will hopefully have a chance to come back before then to try the rest!) Read more
