Review

“As the plates and bowls arrive, the scene becomes a whirling mosaic of oblong-cut meats, swirled dips, clattering spoons and reaching hands.”

The Lebanese table

A neighborhood Lebanese restaurant, built around the shared table

At Hayat’s Kitchen, a meal starts with maza: hummus, baba ghanoush, labneh, tabouli, falafel and fried kibbeh arrive together and everyone reaches in. Then come the grilled kabobs, shawarma plates and fresh fish, followed by baklava and a small cup of Lebanese coffee.

Everything is made in our North Hollywood kitchen from traditional Lebanese recipes, in generous portions. Come in for a long dinner on the patio, grab a shawarma sandwich at lunch, or order a spread for the whole family.

Our story

Rooted in tradition, open every day

Hayat’s Kitchen brings fine Lebanese cooking to the San Fernando Valley, with generous portions, traditional recipes and a genuine welcome.

Lebanese dining is about abundance: plates arriving together and hands reaching across the table. On Burbank Boulevard, the patio, the outdoor bread oven and the smell of meat on the grill have made us a North Hollywood landmark. Food critics found us long ago, but the regulars were here first.

We’re open every day for dine-in, pickup and delivery, whether that’s a quick shawarma at lunch or a long dinner with family.
