Stopped in for a later lunch after strolling around the LA Zoo for a few hours. Unfortunately, they were out of beef shawarma (and don't serve it with lamb), so Jim G. and I opted to share the Rib Eye Plate. We had to wait about 8 minutes or so for the rib eye to cook, which is totally fine. The plate is massive! All the sides on it, plus eggplant and fries on another plate. We also opted to order a little falafel to taste and they were very tasty! The rib eye was but there wasn't really a lot of it there. I realize it's an expensive meat, but the $30 plate cost is comparably more expensive than the other meats. We shared a bottle of red wine ($37) and chilled out with our friends, who all enjoyed their food, too. Huge parking lot in the back, with just a short walk to get to the front of the shopping center, where Tel Aviv is.

The rib eye, or any plate for that matter, is massive. Certainly enough to share for two. At $30 I would say it's not cheap, but again split at only $15 is a deal. I wish there was more of the ribeye, but everything was super tasty with a nice variety of flavors. My highlight...We also ordered their falafel which were the best I've had. Nice spice and moist, fried to perfection.

I had their food before at catered events, since I'm a Merquez lover, I had to put them to the test and they don't disappoint at all, I had flashbacks to Strasbourg, salads are fresh lightly dressed, eggplant a d french fries were amazing, best hummus in L.A. beating Hummus Bar and Mizlala by a slight margin. Tipping culture unfortunately has invaded this place too, expecting a $5 tip for taking my cc and pointing me to counter which is literally 5 ft. away while the cooks and busboy work hard also they were very accommodating, Vegas has that Tipping mentality not a fan , it reduces the overall experience.

I went try this place, I parked my car in their parking lot, got out of my car, and I noticed rat trap boxes around the building... so I decided this place is not for me.... I love going to pita pocket, they are the original Palestinian food restaurant!!! They have a stone oven and make the bread on site right in front of you!!!! Kitchen is not hidden like Tel Aviv grill...

Legit - great food! I was at Holy Grill off of Pico and the food was horrible. I had an itch for Shawarma and this scratched it.

Amazing restaurant, massive plates of shwarma and cabbage and hummus and eggplant. Interior can get noisy, patio is pleasant.
What a meal so delicious. And they are so generous with how many salads you get on your plate Just ask and they will fill up. You're plate mountains of sides and extras with no extra charge.
We ordered in the restaurant and picked up food to go. We appreciate the service being so helpful with our large order. There was about seven adults who were all pretty hungry, and we ordered six meals, but we very well could've ordered possibly four and it would've been enough for sure. We got mostly the chicken, Shawarma, beef, Shawarma, and falafel. I appreciate how customizable everything is. It made for a wonderful spread for our family.

The food is bland and pricey. The atmosphere is loud. You're better off going to Zankou Chicken.

I've had my fair share of Middle Eastern food, and felt that every experience was sort of on the similar side. I was really impressed with the kebab and the chicken plate was that it had a taste into it that was definitely fresher, and felt like it had less preservatives than what I usually get, in other Middle Eastern restaurants But if you like me, and all about the sides, then you're gonna really be blown away. But the red cabbage and regular cabbage slaw are amazing. The peppers, pickles and grilled peppers are amazing and the cucumber salad was sliced in some sort of mandolin which made the texture and bite of the cucumber delicious Also, the pita bread was fluffy unlike any pita bread I've ever had, and it made it really enjoyable. Also, the stick cut fries are something special and amazing about them where they're not like your average fry, it felt more like a In-N-Out fresh fry, but less soggy , I wonder how they do it, it's definitely delicious. The grilled eggplant was also surprisingly nice, I like eggplant and I really enjoyed this eggplant. For the amount of food and sides that's piled on and a price tag of about $30 for each plate. I'd say the value is definitely there. One thing that was noticeably mentionable was the tahini and hummus was served with the hummus on the bottom, and the tahini poured inside the hummus. I wonder if I can ask them to serve it on the side next time. There was something about the hummus that was not the best tasting hummus, and the tahini was not as amazing compared to the rest of the plate, which is kind of a hard ce since I feel like the rest of the plate was absolutely amazing
