Last night, my boyfriend and I were searching for a restaurant to go to near La Brea. We did not want to go anywhere that was crowded nor a place where we could not hear each other. We saw Cayenne on Beverly and decided to give it a try. It looked cute enough from the outside. It wasn't completely crowded but not empty enough to scare us away. We were surprised to find that it was a Moroccan restaurant. We were welcomed by a friendly man, who appeared to be an owner or manager. We were seated immediately in the outdoor heated patio...amazing for a Saturday night at 8:00 PM. The service was top-notch here...courteous and quick service/food. The belly dancing and ethnic music added a nice different element from the usual. The hummus was amazing. I ordered the chicken skewer dinner, which included rice, a salad or soup. Mine was average tasting...but how good can chicken skewers taste, I guess. My boyfriend ordered the chicken pommegranate dish and his was amazingly good. We definitely enjoyed the restaurant overall and suggest it as a fun different place to go to. I will steer towards something more adventurous on the menu next time.
Pros: Ambience, Uncrowded on a weekend night, Fun
