Mantee Cafe

Mantee is one of our favorite Armenian restaurants in LA. The family-run spot has a quirky, rustic interior that feels like you’re eating lunch at a distant aunt’s one-bedroom apartment in Ojai, and there’s a lush back patio ideal for a quiet solo meal. As its name suggests, mantee is the specialty here, and while the sumac and yogurt-covered dumplings are among our favorite versions in town, don’t even think about getting the check until both the dolma and sizzling hot feta have made it to your table as well.
