L'établissement AKASHA est un restaurant/bar/café proposant une cuisine américaine nouvelle avec de la nourriture réconfortante aux grandes saveurs et aux ingrédients durables, aussi bien pour les carnivores que pour les herbivores. La chef traiteur Akasha Richmond apporte sa vision culinaire dans son propre restaurant de quartier occupant le bâtiment d'époque Hull dans le centre-ville de Culver City. En gardant les principes de la durabilité à l'esprit, les arches en acier, bois, béton et brique d'origine du bâtiment ont été restaurées, tandis que les matériaux pour la décoration s'allient avec la modernité des années 1970 pour exsuder une atmosphère accueillante et animée. La boulangerie artisanale présente des choix aussi bien sucrés que salés, ainsi que du café issu du commerce direct torréfié localement. Le bar, qui compte 20 sièges, met l'accent sur des cocktails à jus frais, ainsi que sur des spiritueux biologiques et de qualité, les bières et le vin. Tout le menu est disponible sur place ou à emporter.
