Arais Machane Yehuda LA

Even though I’m very accustomed to this type of food, Arais still truly impressed me. The warmth of the service and the generosity of the portions made it feel like I was back home. Every detail, from the flavors to the hospitality, felt thoughtful and genuine. I’m thrilled to know this place exists, as it beautifully enhances the selection of kosher restaurants in the valley.

Such great food and such nice people working here. Everyone was so friendly. The flavors were on point! The wings were tangy spicy and super crunchy. Perfection!

Steak was juicy, easy to bite into. I was impressed since it’s kosher! All sides were delicious. Perfect balance. Pickled onions were sooo good. All the sides were made in- house.

Amazing place. Insanely delicious and unique food, lively authentic ambiance, great service, and super friendly owners. You feel transported straight into Jerusalem - with the vibes, music, the decorations, and the food. I tried the lamb arais (their signature dish), the beef arais lollipop (a smaller similar dish), the pita bread, the tahini sauces (including green tahini!), and crispy potatoes. So good I kept ordering more. Price could be lower, but the taste and vibe is worth it imo. Highly recommended!

Welcoming vibe and great food! They have traditional clay oven backed Arais! And this was my first time having one but I can say I already want to go back and have another one, food is high quality and top notch, very tasty! Recommend to everyone! I had the Lamb Arais that was prepared in the clay oven and they served with small very yummy appetizer’s. Super friendly staff, cozy’s vibe and premium food

I was in LA for business but when I saw the reviews for this place, I had to take the drive out to the Valley to try it. I rolled the dice as I took a business client with me. Truly incredible food and wonderful service. Not only were the Arais (arayes) delicious - lamb one was excellent, but the stars of the night were the delicious roasted cauliflower with a chimichurri sauce and the most incredible roasted eggplant with techina that I think I ever have had. Great service and the pricing was quite reasonable. I definitely will be back.

We got the ribeye in a salad, lamb arayis, schnitzel pita egplant, cauliflower and the potatoes! The potatoes were phenomenal!

Restaurant Review: A Taste of Israel Right Here at Home If you’re craving authentic Israeli flavors in a warm, welcoming setting, this kosher gem hits the mark. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were back in Jerusalem fresh ingredients, bold spices, and that unmistakable hospitality. The meals were absolutely fantastic. The cauliflower was a standout—roasted to perfection, tender with just the right char, and bursting with flavor. Another highlight was the eggplant, beautifully prepared and elevated even more by Donna, our server, who graciously showed us the best way to enjoy it. Her care and attention added a personal touch that made the experience even more special. Service throughout was attentive and friendly, and the space itself is spotless. You can tell cleanliness is a priority. Bonus: plenty of parking in the back, which made getting in and out stress-free. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious, authentic kosher meal that brings a little bit of Israel to your plate. Ps. Best Arais I ever had 👍

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The owner is incredibly welcoming and takes the time to explain the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations that really make you feel taken care of. The service is fast and attentive, the food is absolutely delicious and very fresh, and the presentation of each dish is beautiful and truly appetizing. Everything looks and tastes amazing. The overall atmosphere is warm, positive, and inviting. You can really feel the passion behind the place. We genuinely enjoyed every moment and will definitely be back.

Amazing place to eat at 11/10 Delicious food, great service and good vegan options. The Pitas were fresh and so good just like back in Machne Yehuda market. If you are thinking of going definitely go
