"Kismet" is a fitting name for this restaurant as it's a stroke of good luck to wander into this hip, neighborhood spot in the Loz Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. The menu offers a selection of Middle Eastern-influenced small plates ranging from Persian crunchy rice to chicken lemony pies. Surrounded by the intimate and minimalistic space, diners will be tempted to stay for dessert, like the cultured ricotta cheesecake or yogurt meringue. Over our Mediterranean meal, author Simon Sinek discusses his career in thought leadership books and how he hopes to continue helping people find their "why."
