The sibling restaurant to Bestia, Bavel explores Middle Eastern cuisine through the same lens of house-made everything and wood-fire cooking. The hummus with lamb neck, the whole roasted cauliflower, and the lamb kebabs are standouts. Like Bestia, reservations require advance planning and the noise level is high.
