Great unknown places to eat close to the complex:

Electric Lotus.
Indian Food. Best Indian Food in LA. On the corner of Vermont and Franklin.

House of Pies
Opposite Electric Lotus
Dubbed the best place in LA to write a screen play.

Maroush
Fabulous lebanese food in an unlikely strip mall. Like Electric Lotus, they started out in a fairly seedy strip mall looking like a stripped out neighborhood video store, and have grown and added ambience galore.
Maroush on Santa Monica at Edgeware

Mexico City
Great Mexican food
A few doors down from the famous Derby - Great Mexican Food - A "Star" hang out.
Los Feliz and Hillhurst

Tangier
Food is OK but pricey. But they often have great live music in the back room.

Zankou
Faboulous chicken and garlic sauce.
