about

A Good + Good For You rotisserie!

Both of-the-moment and nostalgic, Kismet Rotisserie strikes that ideal balance between healthy and comforting. A vegetable-loving, reimagined rotisserie, our menu is built for solo dining, family dinner, and event catering alike!
‍
Kismet Rotisserie opened in January 2020, as a takeout-focused sister restaurant to Kismet, our flagship casual fine dining restaurant. Both Kismet and Kismet Rotisserie are owned and operated by chefs Sarah Hymanson and Sara Kramer, who met in NYC. The two moved to LA in 2014, drawn by the city’s diversity, energy and, naturally, its access to the country’s best locally grown produce.
‍
Kismet, opened in 2017, has received many accolades including an annual place on the LA Times 101 Best Restaurant List, a James Beard Award nomination for Best New Restaurant, and Food & Wine Magazine named the chefs Best New Chefs in 2017. Kismet Rotisserie has taken the chefs’ high quality approach to sourcing and cooking and applied it to the fast-casual corner of the world. Today, Kismet Rotisserie has expanded to multiple locations across LA and who knows where the future will lead!

FOOD

We are committed to high quality, local and sustainable sourcing.
‍
We make almost everything in house, from scratch, daily. Our hummus, our dressings, you name it!

Our chickens are pasture-raised, free-range, non-GMO, antibiotic-free, and born and bred in California.

Our vegetables, as much as seasonally possible, come from our favorite farmers at the Hollywood, Santa Monica and other local Farmers Markets.

Our chickpeas (which are the basis of our hummus) are organically grown in the US.

Our eggs are pasture-raised from Chino Valley Ranchers.

CULTURE

By eating our food you not only support sustainable sourcing practices, you also support a locally-run, women-owned small business!
‍
We are deeply invested in creating a culture of inclusivity and equity in our employment practices. Different from many restaurants, our entire hourly staff (no matter what position) share equitably in the tip and bonus pools based on hours worked. Every order contributes to a fairer living wage for our hard-working team!

COMMUNITY

Kismet Rotisserie believes we are all stronger together, and we are proud to play our part in giving back to our community. We have partnered with Hollywood Food Coalition to regularly provide meals to the unhoused community of Los Angeles. Additionally, what initially started as providing meals to first responders at the outset of the pandemic, has developed into an ongoing and lasting relationship with our neighbors at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to provide them with subsidized meals. We are a proud member of Regarding Her, and provide support to many local schools and organizations.
