In Short – Eastsiders love their patios, and this sprawling Los Feliz spot offers plenty of alfresco space to go around. A tiled patio floor, dotted with pale market umbrellas, fountains, wicker chairs and night-time heaters, is enclosed by dozens of blooming roses and one gigantic glowing glass rose sculpture. Inside, it's spacious, airy and elegant with a long bar and glass walls, detailed in walnut with Murano lamps. An eclectic Los Feliz crowd--young, old, hipster, European--enjoys a rather pricey Cal-Med menu featuring filet mignon, rack of lamb and crab martinis, mixed with more…

Great food, fun ambiance!
by RobinAlt at Citysearch
This place was great! I went with a group of friends, and all of the food was authentic Lebanese/Middle Eastern, and fresh... They have live music and an outdoor patio, great for either a date or large groups. The owner made sure we had a good time, and I will definitely be returning when I'm on that side of town!
- Pros: Authentic Middle Eastern Food
- Cons: off the beaten track

Great place for a gropu dinner or for a romantic date
by nhefferan19 at Citysearch
I went there with a group of friends and everything was amazing. We started with the house made hummus and pita bread which was probably the best combination of hummus's that I've had in awhile. Then we all shared the crispy goat cheese salad and if you love cheese, then you'll love the crispy goat cheese (so amazing)! Then I got the roasted eggplant soup which had a falafel in the middle (which was spicy...YUM). I had never had eggplant soup and I think that this was one of my most favorite dishes of the night. Then we all shared the fire-roasted vegetables which were very flavorful. For my entree, I ordered the chicken & beef kebab plate. I'm not a huge "meat" person and both were cooked perfectly and the side pita was a great combination. And for desert, we all shared the warm chocolate lava cake which was so creamy and full of amazing-ness! Overall, this place was great and I would highly recommend it for a group dinner or for a romantic date. The ambiance was perfect...great decor, live jazz music playing in the background and a fun crowd. Thanks for a great night Desert Rose :)
- Pros: great service, amazing food and wonderful ambiance
- Cons: none

Delicious Food & Great Service
by rkartz1126 at Citysearch
I went last night to Desert Rose and it was fabulous. The service was great and the food was even better. We had everything from the hummus to the kabobs and everything was delicious. The vegan spicy eggplant soup was probably my favorite. In addition to great food, they have a full bar and a impressive beer/wine list. I would definitely return.
