Kismet Rotisserie

Delicious little chicken place. Great food, small portions—kinda. Lots of side, not much chicken. I ordered the dark meat 1/4 plate, $18+ for two small pieces of chicken. Really good chicken, well seasoned. Chicken was juicy, potatoes golden, bread soft, sauces delectable (chili and garlic). Hummus was RLLY good, and I don’t even like hummus. Service was friendly and quick, what you’d expect from fast-ish food in Culver. The bright yellow decor is friendly, airy. A nice spot to chat over lunch. I’m a 20-something guy, so lighter appetites would probably be satisfied with chicken portions. TBH I will be back and ordering the same meal. I’ll just… drink a protein shake first, or something.

Kismet Rotisserie in Culver City was such a pleasant surprise. Everything was delicious and incredibly flavorful. The chicken had the perfect level of crispy skin on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside- none of that rubbery texture rotisserie chicken can sometimes have. We shared the Half Chicken Plate ($36.50), which came with hummus, a wedge salad, pickles, two pitas, chili oil, and garlic sauce. For two people, it was more than enough and felt like great value. We also opted to try the Schmaltzy Potatoes as well, and we’re glad we did- they were perfectly crispy and totally worth adding on. There isn’t really much of an ambiance or vibe inside. Only 2 tables to sit at. This seems like more of a takeout spot as there were a lot of to-go orders going out the door. Overall

The food was quite decent — not bad at all — but the overall dining experience could have been better. We ordered a quarter chicken plate and a chicken pita. Unfortunately, the plate was served directly on the paper lining of the plastic tray, without any proper container. Every time we cut into the food, the paper tore apart due to the lettuce juice, which made us feel uncomfortable and unsafe eating food with bits of paper sticking to it.

I was craving chicken and my partner told me that their chicken is so delicious. I’ve ordered the meat and potato combo (I think that was the name). You can choose between dark and light meat, I’ve chosen light. The chicken was really well seasoned and wasn’t dry at all. The meal came with roasted potatoes, aioli and a chili dip which is so addicting. The pita and Hummus were also delicious and make it such a tasty combo. Next time I want to check out their dine in restaurant which is just one minute away. Also shoutout to the friendly staff :)

Great place if you like getting ripped off. $30 for average plate of chicken with rice and a dip. The dip doesn’t even come with a pita or chips or anything to eat it with, just dip. Go to any other chicken bowl place in LA and you’ll be better off. Zankou food for restaurant prices.
