Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, begins in the evening on Friday, September 11, and is celebrated through Sunday, September 13. The holiday kicks off what is known as the 10 days of awe, a period of reflection and, for some, repentance in the Jewish religion.
Rosh Hashanah is the lighter side of the high holidays, with observers encouraged to eat challah or apples dipped in golden honey to usher in a sweet new year. In Los Angeles, members of the Jewish diasporic community have the opportunity to order complete takeout meals (or complementary sides to home-cooked dishes) to assemble and eat at home, and this year, there are some dine-in options to explore as well. Read on for where to order Rosh Hashanah dinner in Los Angeles in 2026.
Mish
Eric Greenspan’s new modern Jewish deli has a full slate of Rosh Hashanah specials to fete the holiday. For $275, the Mish holiday meal, which feeds four to six people, includes sweet and sour slow-cooked brisket with wood-grilled carrot tzimmes, dilly matzoh ball soup, charred leek and potato kugel, beet and pistachio tabbouleh, a chopped salad, and apple-honey babka with cinnamon streusel. Come Yom Kippur, the restaurant shifts into break-fast mode with a menu that includes a decked-out smoked fish platter (featuring Wexler’s smoked salmon), four bagels, lemon-dill tuna salad, deviled egg salad, sweet cherry kugel with farmers’ cheese and brown-sugar-dusted Cornflakes, and dark chocolate babka with hazelnut brittle, all for $195.
