436 "Casual Weeknight Dinner" restaurants in Los Angeles.
A good casual weeknight dinner spot is hard to find. It’s a step above a make-your-own bowl place, but not somewhere you’ll need a reservation. It shouldn’t be too expensive, you should be able to talk instead of shout, and your dinner shouldn’t take more than an hour. These spots do it all.
Ditroit is an excellent Mexican spot in the Arts District, and the more casual sibling restaurant to Damian.
Cento Pizzeria is a weekend pop-up inside Tartine Sycamore that’s cranking out tremendous Neapolitan pizza.
Like the name implies, Sal’s Gumbo Shack is a Long Beach go-to for gumbo. But there’s a whole menu of great Southern food, too.
Darrow’s is a Carson go-to for Southern staples like fried catfish, jambalaya, po' boys, and some damn good gumbo.
Pearl River Deli is known for their Hainan chicken, but don’t be fooled - there’s so much more going on at this to-go window in Chinatown.
Biryani House is a very good Indian restaurant in Hawthorne where the chicken biryani is a must-order.
