Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis built the Middle Eastern restaurant that Los Angeles didn't know it needed — and now can't imagine being without. The hummus is unrecognizable from what most Americans grew up with. The lamb neck shawarma is the dish people fly in for. Bavel reset the bar on Eastern Mediterranean dining.
