"Although summer's drawing to a close, Los Angeles's restaurant scene continues to heat up with a slate of exciting new openings coming this fall. This year has been a challenging year for the city, with its rich dining scene impacted by wildfires in January; ongoing strain from the 2023 writers' and actors' strikes; and the effects of ICE raids, protests, and curfews, primarily concentrated Downtown. Yet Los Angeles remains one of the country's most resilient and compelling restaurant cities with near-constant new openings."
"This is the first publicly accessible location for the restaurant in the U.S.; Berenjak also operates a location at the Dumbo House that is only available to members. Inspired by kebab houses in Tehran, Kian Samyani founded Berenjak in London in 2018. The menu draws on Samyani's family recipes, offering coal-grilled kebabs and khoresht (stews) alongside smaller plates like hummus, sangak (flatbread), and zeytoon (olives)."
Los Angeles faces recent setbacks from wildfires, industry strikes, and localized ICE raids, protests, and curfews, yet continues to see notable restaurant growth. Fall openings include London-born Berenjak in the Arts District, serving coal-grilled kebabs, khoresht, and family recipes in Soho Warehouse's garden. Phil Rosenthal and Nancy Silverton plan Max & Helen's diner on Larchmont. The season also features the return of Broken Spanish and a churreria from Mexico City. Many new venues leverage Los Angeles's year-round climate and notable neighborhood locations.
