Located just across the Santa Monica pier @monami.sm has a charming patio that offers a super cute atmosphere perfect for a cozy evening. We started with the mezze platter, which you can build-your-own. The potato zeppole was the favorite—crispy and delicious, especially when paired with the spicy tomato dip. Next up was the Chicken Tagine—Moroccan spiced Jidori chicken thighs, potatoes, and carrots served in a traditional tagine pot. I highly recommend ordering some pita on the side to soak up that rich, flavorful sauce. For something light, the Salad Shirazi, with fresh cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, and herbs dressed in lemon vinaigrette and zaatar, was refreshing and vibrant. And we couldn’t resist dessert! The Loukoumades, Greek donuts drizzled with honey and served with cardamom chantilly cream, were the perfect sweet ending to our meal they were super fluffy! #santamonica #santamonicapier #santamonicafood #santamonicafoodie #eatla #lafoodie #losangeles #laeats #larestaurants #lafood
