Specialties

Mid East Eats is a licensed home restaurant (MEHKO) bringing the vibrant flavors of Palestine to your table. Our specialty is fresh-made falafel — a beloved Middle Eastern street food crafted from chickpeas, herbs, and spices, then fried to golden perfection. Crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, it’s the heart of many of our dishes.

We serve falafel in pitas, tacos, rice bowls, salad bowls, and nachos, alongside authentic Palestinian dishes like creamy hummus, refreshing tabouleh, and lesser-known favorites such as ful (a savory fava bean dip), manoushe, and fatayer (baked savory pastries). Join us during business hours to explore our full menu, or place an order online for pickup.

For a more immersive experience, book our private dining option — a curated, family-style feast that offers a taste of everything on the menu. No need to choose; just come hungry and ready to share. We'll even pack up any extras for you to take home. Ready to experience Palestinian hospitality at its finest? Learn more and reserve your private dining experience today!

History

Established in 2024.

Sumer and Andrew are a married duo that are quickly becoming the falafel experts of Southern California. As the founders of Mid East Eats, they’re serving up vegan Middle Eastern treats, with their falafel leading the charge.

Inspired by the vibrant street food of Palestine, Sumer wanted to perfect a moist and flavorful falafel. “In my fathers childhood village, there was an older gentlemen who would sell freshly fried herby falafel from his garage.” Sumer says, “They were moist on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and he would sprinkle them with a hint of salt after frying. They were divine! No one knows how to make moist, green falafel in Los Angeles, so I decided to take matters into my own hands!” And thus, their flavorful journey began.

Mid East Eats is the only Palestinian home restaurant (MEHKO) PERMITTED by the LA County Health Department.
