Los Angeles

From food trucks to chef-driven mainstays, Los Angeles blends the accessible and aspirational.

Los Angeles is known for its entertainment industry, celebrity culture, and fashion. But it is also one of the best cities for foodies in the United States, boasting incredible produce and some of the country’s most talented chefs. Over the last decade, Los Angeles has cultivated one of the most important food cultures in contemporary American cuisine.

While the culinary footprint of Pakistani-American cuisine is modest still, there are several establishments you won’t want to miss in the land of sunshine and endless tomatoes.
