Anwar’s Kitchen offers some of the best meals I’ve had in Los Angeles. The restaurant is comfortable and casual, yet feels special thanks to the care put into every dish. The food is fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I especially loved the combination of spices and the generous portions. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. It’s a perfect place for a relaxed lunch or dinner, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, delicious food in downtown LA.

This place is very nice and the staff is great. The food is awesome. The only reason I gave it four stars compared to five was because of the price. I don't feel that it's actually worth $20 for a falafel plate. It's very similar to zankoo chicken when it comes down to the food quality and the actual overall selection and so for that reason I gave it four stars but other than that it's outstanding. Location is convenient located in downtown LA. I really like the staff members there. There's a really cute girl that is so bubbly and happy. Makes you feel like you've gone to a foreign country right here? I just wish the prices was more like in the $15 range. I'll be back I just hope that they adjust their pricing so it's more competitive with equal experiences and food quality as other Mediterranean or Arabic food

Anwar’s Kitchen is the kind of place I could eat at every day. The gyros are packed with flavor, the falafel is phenomenal, and both the chicken and beef are tender and delicious—cooking them well done really intensifies the taste. The variety of sauces, from garlic and tzatziki to spicy and green salsa, perfectly complements each meal. The portions are generous, the ingredients are high-quality, and the desserts, especially the baklava, are irresistible. Friendly, attentive staff and consistently well-prepared dishes make this a top spot for Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine.

Ok so I’ve only been to the restaurant late night (I plan on going on the daytime at some point lol) but the food is ALWAYS on point! Idk if it’s the same cook everytime but I’ve never had a bad experience! The staff is even great every time I go! 10/10!

I was driving into LA from San Diego at 11 pm and craving some good mediterranean food. I saw this place was open until midnight and had good reviews. I had the falafel wrap with fries. The food was ok but I would not repeat the experience. The taste was bland, even on the hummus which is usually tasty.

Jeannette was so professional, friendly and on top of it when there was a nationwide internet outage yesterday and Postmates was down! She diligently went through all 13 of my food items with me, their sides and sauces and everything was perfect! Thank you Jeannette for the amazing service!

Absolutely love Anwar’s Kitchen! I went for the first time and had a very good Mediterranean cuisine, every dish was packed with authentic flavour and cooked to perfection the food was fresh, flavourful, and perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and fast too and the whole place has such good vibes i would like to thank the whole team for making our dinner memorable especially katherine and the lady who was at the cashier gave us a very good service. We also got complimentary baklava which was delicious. Must try their baklava!!!
