01Mezze
The Opening Spread
Hummus, mutabbal, labneh, warm pita — the ritual that begins every table.
The Concept
The ancient art of sharing, reimagined for Santa Monica.
Temen draws from the Yemenite tradition of gathering around small plates — mezze, grilled bites, spiced dips — and elevates each one with the precision of a modern kitchen. Every dish is designed to be passed, shared, and remembered.
The Menu
Small plates. Big stories.
