Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
Try one of the healthy concoctions packed with antioxidant-heavy acaiberry. The restaurant doesn't serve any alcohol, but guests are welcome to bring their own wine--there's no corkage fee.
Fun Fact:
The water heater and lights are all low voltage, the wood is recycled and reclaimed and the paints used here are non-toxic. In essence, they meet the city's requirements for being certified green.
Parking:
There's no valet, so you're on your own to find an available meter or a spot in the surrounding residential area. It's usually not too bad.
ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. The food is excellent, remarkably healthy in a city that has a surprising absence of organic eateries, the service is reasonably efficient, the ambience is fine.
  2. Ok admittedly this place could be renamed Gunga Din's Indian Food, and be just about as close to truly branding their restaurant as "Kreation Kafe" comes, but the name aside this is a great Montana cafe with a unique atmosphere and even better food.

Great food and service!!

The service is great. I was attended right away and never had to wait for a refill. The food was very good. I don't like trying new places but this was definitely one of the best places I have been to recently.

Taste buds go nuts with all the great flavors

by f00dlover at Citysearch

Kreation Kafe has all the elements for an awesome food experience. Every time I've gone there I've fallen more in love with it than the last! The food is like nothing I've had before. It's so good that you almost think it's unhealthy when it's actually some of the most healthy food you can eat! The service is great and the owner is usually there talking to everyone, making it obvious that she cares. THE LIVE ART AND MOVIE NIGHTS! so perfect! perfect for a night out with friends or even a great place to take a date. This place really makes you feel like you've stepped out of LA and into New York. I go here all the time and wish I could go in more!

  • Pros: everything!
  • Cons: nothing!

best kept secret in SAMO for outstanding food

by podference at Citysearch

you can taste the love and attention they put in the menu. I'm not surprised they are certified green and organic by city of santa monica. I really like their sample platter after a 2 hour long yoga session. it's light and replenishes immediately....sometimes a little kamboocha to top it off. Def worth checking out .... look out, you might get hooked.

  • Pros: food, price, service, location, quality, quantity
  • Cons: can't think of any

good food for the most part

by rebeccaburchett at Citysearch

My husband and i were going to Father's Office but alas it was packed with no where to sit... so we looked across the street and saw Kreation. He was skeptical..

We ordered the sampler plate for an appetizer- so good and huge! We then ordered the beef kabob to share and it was also pretty good. Our waiter was friendly but could have been around a bit more as it was not busy at all. They also let us bring in our own beer from the Blind Duck- so we got to drink what we wanted after all.

The second time i went with a girl friend of mine and was less thrilled about the service. The food was still great... oh they also brought us bottled water when we did not ask for it. Sort of annoying... i don't need to pay 4$ for a tiny smart water.

  • Pros: fresh tasty food
  • Cons: sevice could be better
