This place is always a hit, we went on Friday night and they had so much live entertainment. I love having dinner and a show everyone was so talented. First the man playing his drum came out with so much energy to get the crowd going then the beautiful belly dancer got everyone out of there seats and lastly a singer. He was singing so many hits people were up dancing immediately. My husband loved the food, ambiance and energy. It does get alittle Smokey bc of everyone smoking hookah so just be warned but we didn’t mind at all, it’s a 10/10 experience.

An absolutely delightful addition to our neighborhood. This is the best priced restaurant in the area - and the food is excellent for the price point. Absolutely order the Branzino - it's flown in fresh from Turkey and prepared it as if they were on the waterfront in Istanbul. The roasted vegetables rock, salads are excellent, and they have the best baklava in Los Angeles(and yes, I've tried many). Lovely people, great place to grab a very good dinner in a nice atmosphere at a very good price.

About the restaurant

The Levant is the place where the sun rises, geographically it covers the region bordering the eastern Mediterranean Sea. This region hosted a vast variety of cultures through history creating what is now known as the Levantine Cuisine which is the specialty of Ammatoli.

AMMATOLI is distinctive and extraordinarily fresh and healthy. We use only the finest quality ingredients, honoring the traditional recipes and exotic flavors from the cuisines of the Levant... and served in a warm and welcoming ambiance!

Our Mediterranean influenced kitchen gains inspiration from the best cuisine the Levant has to offer. Our fresh creative menu items are always made from scratch. The result is a cuisine that is tasty and exotic. Levantine food is the epitome of the Mediterranean diet, healthy food, high on vegetables and big on flavor!

Delighted to have made the drive to Long Beach to eat at this gem. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Food was truly delicious (flavorful, innovative, and beautifully presented). We shared the Mutabbal (fire roasted eggplant), the Labneh with roasted beets (a standout dish), an order of fresh pita and the spinach Kibbeh as appetizers, followed by the Ouzi lamb chops and the spicy garlic lemon chicken as our mains. All of our dishes were excellent! Made a 5:15 reservation and the place filled up before 6:30, so it became increasingly loud, but not uncomfortably so. Wish that I lived nearby because I would dine here regularly!

Food was nice and the atmosphere was great. The DJ was good. We loved the vibe. Drinks were nice too. We loved the passion fruit one. Jacob helped me with choosing options from the menu that were compatible with my food allergy. He was meticulous to make sure everything goes smoothly and safely. We absolutely loved the Arais. This is a good spot for dates and gatherings. Will be back :)
