Healthy rotisserie chicken with really yummy garlic sauce. Ordered takeout here for a girl’s night and got the combination for four, a green salad, and the combination for two. We had plenty of food and there were leftovers. The chicken was juicy and adding either the chili oil or the garlic sauce took it to the next level. I would suggest ordering extra garlic sauce. The salad was fresh and they give you pita bread on the side. The pickup process was easy and done online. There was some outdoor seating but this primarily seemed to be a grab and go spot. Metered street parking. Credit cards accepted.

Delicious food. Exactly what you expect from this concept. Top notch Mediterranean food; fresh and flavorful; chicken and potatoes are wonderfully crispy yet still juicy. So why only 4 stars? It's expensive for a casual restaurant. $50 for two people. And the restaurant is small. We went on a Monday night and there was no room indoors to eat. I'd recommend and I'll come back. Thank you Kismet for the delicious food!

Friendly staff and surprisingly good quality from a quick service restaurant. Impressive portions for the price. Fresh baked pita with hummus is a must!

A real gem! Got the chicken platter with a side of schmaltzy potatoes. Delicious chicken with crispy skin. Looooved the potatoes. Great hummus and bread. Also I'm a huge fan of all the pickles. Food that makes you happy.

Really yummy healthy spot great casual and nice ambiance. The service was also great and they were very nice and let my kids try the cookies.

I ordered a tray of roasted vegetables and they were delivered cold. I called and was told they are best served cold. That would have been good information to include when I ordered.

Following a visit to the nearby Frank Lloyd Wright Hollyhock house, we we nearby to Kismet. We individually ordered the succulent rotisserie chicken cut into pieces and a selection of the great Middle Eastern side dishes and bread to go with. I didn't love the outdoor seating which is barely comfortable, but we were hungry, it was a nice evening, and we were grateful to be fed so well. We would return.

Sooooo, I order their Chicken Pita. It's the most reasonable thing on their menu and I had heard great things about it. When I went to pick it up, I asked them if I needed to get some sort of extra sauce like tahini and they said it has an incredible yogurt dressing on it. I was excited! So first flavor I get is very off-putting. I think it was from the pickled onions... some off-putting spice. Honestly the rest of the sandwich was mostly cucumbers and lettuce, a light spattering of chicken and no sauce that I could taste If you like vegetable sandwiches with hardly any sauce, it's perfect. The chicken is definitely not the star here. Top five worst sandwiches of my life. Needless to say, I won't be going back! Alas!
Stumbled in for lunch today after reviewing some of the neighboring restaurants menus & Kissmet was the choice! Located in the One Culver Plaza. Kissmet is small restaurant with good service. I was greeted with a smile and paroozed the lighted menu board. The chicken pita sandwich called my name and my lunch partner ordered the half chicken plate (which looked amazing by the way! The wedge salad with poppyseed dressing looked so good). My pita was seriously PACKED with fresh rotisserie chicken, cucumbers and quite tasty! A bit steep for a half a sandwich/pita in price and served without any sides. I did order a side of garlic sauce (though good, I wouldn't recommend adding it for $3.00! You get a tiny plastic container with Mediterranean garlic sauce). TIP: Before making your menu decision, look to the glass area to the right of the register they have some specials! Today they had a Chicken Potpie posted, some puddings and cookies not up on the lighted board I saw after we ordered. The place was clean, friendly and has a small seating area inside and a few tables outside. The parking situation sucks like most of downtown Culver City, one culver plaza has an over priced parking structure (enter off Madison) & not sure if they offer validation with receipts (I scored street parking). TIP: You could park for free in City Halls parking structure located under city hall off of Duquesne) Monday through Friday it can get busy at lunch time with all the Sony employees strolling over from Sony. Overall tasty but pricey. Would I come back, sure if I happened to score some street parking or wondered over from City Hall.

This place has absolutely no right being as expensive as it is. There are an infinite number of places I could spend less and get better tasting food from. The soup was barely a soup. Basically, an uncooked carrots, spinach, and some unseasoned broth topped with shredded chicken. Why even have it on the menu?? I won’t be going back.

Go with the 1/4 chicken plate and you won't be disappointed. Salads are overpriced IMO.

I'll start by saying I've eaten here a handful of times The good Juicy chicken love the vegan crispy potatoes. The food arrives hot and fresh. The wait time is usually moderate. Nothing excessive. The flavors are good. The bad The most recent time My fiancé got food poisoning (literal requiring fluids) I had an upset stomach (I can usually eat almost anything) With that being said, one out of five isn't bad I suppose. Would I eat here again? Yes, Because I'm lazy, the flavors are good, and it is nearby.
