The story
After a decade of delighting Los Angeles with Michelin-recognized cuisine, Kali has entered a bold new chapter. Co-founders and lifelong friends Chef Kevin Meehan and Drew Langley have reimagined their Hollywood restaurant, trading the tasting menu format for a fresh vision of the classic steakhouse. The result is Kali, a place where expertly sourced steaks, irresistible sides, and ice-cold martinis take center stage.
The shift is deliberate. Kali’s approach has evolved to focus on the pure pleasure of fantastic food and drinks in a lively, relaxed setting. There is no pretense here—just genuine hospitality and a commitment to quality that has earned the restaurant a Michelin star. The same passionate team remains, ensuring every visit feels both familiar and exciting.
The menu reflects this new direction. Start with a classic California Wedge Salad or a Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, then move to the main event: a 16-ounce Ribeye, a 32-ounce Porterhouse, or a Wagyu Ribeye. Sides like Smoked Mushrooms and Classic Creamed Spinach round out the meal, while the bar offers a tempting selection of smaller bites, including The Kali Burger and 'Ohtani' Dogs with Miso Mustard. Desserts like The Original Kali Meringue Gelato and Key Lime Pie provide a sweet finish.
Kali is about savoring exceptional food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It is a steakhouse for Hollywood, reimagined with the same soul that made its predecessor a destination.
