Closed

Akasha closed permanently on October 5, 2025 after nearly 18 years in downtown Culver City, citing lingering COVID and entertainment-industry-strike effects, film production moving away from Southern California, and rising food and labor costs. The owners plan to continue as a catering-only operation.
