The order was messed up, the food was terrible; ketchup in shawarma!! Meat was dry and tasteless!
Overall, nasty! Will never buy again!

Did try the food! Looks Good but the man handled coin and dollar bills for change on a customer, then didn’t change or clean his gloves straight up grabber the meet after and put in skewers, he had no basic food safety handling care!

What a hidden Gem. Had dinner with one of my brothers several months ago, and I was talking to one of my Nephews about it but couldn't remember the name, or exactly where it was (I wasn't driving). He looked it up and reminded me of the name. The lamb? To die for, as was pretty much everything. The service was on point, and though the cost was not cheap, it was extremely high value for money. Atmosphere I would describe as casual yet classy.

Walked in to get a shawarma, the chef walked in from outside without washing his hands, texted on his phone infront of me and proceeded to cook the food right after without washing his hands. No reciept. Threw it away as soon as i left.

I arrived around 6:45 p.m. the place was empty the one worker on duty stated I can only order Shawarma wraps. I asked if I could have a shawarma plate because I didn't want a wrap he said no only wraps. I asked if I could pay for a wrap and him just not wrap it and just serve me what's on the inside of a wrap. He said no I can only have a wrap. Felt like I was in some weird sitcom. So I ordered a beef shawarma wrap hummus and cabbage salad the beef was tough overcooked cabbage salad was average, but the hummus was good though. But the service was garbage. Never coming back.

They give four little pieces of meat with their plate, doesn’t come with roasted green pepper, just raw tomato and cucumbers cut weird.

The food here is truly wonderful. I particularly enjoy the meat shish, and I often visit around midnight before heading home. I highly recommend this place; it's a small, cozy spot on the corner. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The food is freshly prepared, unlike some other establishments where it is already made. I encourage you to give this place a try; I believe you will enjoy it.

The food looks delicious, but unfortunately he didn't want to sell it because I spoke to him in Spanish, and he didn't give me any service.

The food is pretty good. Knocked off a star because of the tipping situation. The employee waited at the tip page expecting me to tip. I tipped the standard 15% since I was eating at the restaurant. By that point, I had walked up to the counter and grabbed our own drinks. We waited for our food at the outside tables. The employee knocked on the glass pane asking us to come in and pick up the food. If you’ve pressured me to tip and had received it, I expect at least some service.

Never have been so motivated to write a review for a restaurant. Been here a few times now and their shawarma is unbeatable. Some of the best food in LA period. So far I’ve had the chicken and the beef and I’d say I prefer the chicken but that’s just my preference with shawarma in general. Beef is still quality for sure.

I wouldn’t suggest going with a large group because it’ll take a long time to get your food, but if it’s just a few of you, it’s more than worth driving 30+ minutes to get it.
