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.
