Kebab near Valley Village, CA

“This is the best and worth the wait. It's practically 2 servings so don't think it's expensive, it's perfect. Delicious sauces. Perfect. Guys are nice, too. I messed up and paid with the wrong app (use Zelle, NOT Venmo) and the owner helped to fix it right away. He didn't have to do that. These are good guys making good food. Support local businesses, support Cosmodrome LA!“

“We had a 9PM, Sunday reservation at Sora Craft Kitchen, and when we first pulled up, we genuinely thought we were at the wrong place. The surrounding area is very dark and industrial at night, there were barely any cars around, and from the outside you would never expect what’s waiting for you inside.

The second we walked in, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was quiet and super ambient. One thing that immediately surprised me was that it didn’t smell like at all. We were greeted by the chef himself, and seeing him prepare everything right in front of us made the experience even more special. He was essentially running the kitchen himself, yet every dish came out surprisingly fast, fresh, and beautifully prepared.

We started with the Dry-Aged Tenderloin Shish Kebab, and that alone immediately set the tone for dinner. The beef was incredibly flavorful and tender.

Then the chef brought out the Mastabe and PLEASE!! If you come here, ORDER THIS. It ended up becoming the staple of our entire dinner. It’s this creamy house-made yogurt, we literally started adding it to EVERYTHING. The garlicky, creamy freshness somehow complemented every meat and every dish without overpowering anything.

Next came the Siverek Tava, and this one completely blew me away. The combination of ground beef, tomato, and roasted eggplant was incredible. My boyfriend HATES eggplant. Like, refuses to order anything with eggplant level of hate. Even he was shocked at how good it was and how perfectly the eggplant worked with the beef. Huge props to the chef because changing someone's mind about an ingredient they swear they hate says a lot.

The Grilled Branzino came next and was a perfect change of pace. Simple, fresh, perfectly grilled, and topped with vegetables. After all the richer flavors, the fish felt light and refreshing while still having plenty of flavor.

Then we had the Icli Kofte, which might have been one of the biggest surprises of the night. I wasn't expecting such an explosion of flavor from this dish.

Our last savory dish was the Garlic-Spiced Kebab. At this point I was so full and genuinely thought there was no way I was going to finish another dish... and then I kept eating it. It was smoky, garlicky, juicy, and so flavorful that I literally couldn't stop.

And somehow we still made room for dessert.

We finished with the Cheese Halva with Yuzu–Black Sesame Ice Cream, and it was the PERFECT ending. The warm cheese halva practically melted in our mouths. While the ice cream had this refreshing flavor that reminded us of mint and pistachio. The pistachio pieces underneath added the perfect crunch and texture to balance everything out.

What impressed me most about Sora wasn't just one specific dish. It was how thoughtfully everything paired together. Every dish tasted completely different. Nothing felt generic or like something you could order at any other restaurant. You can genuinely taste the freshness and the amount of thought the chef puts into the flavors, textures, and pairings.

Don't let the location fool you. Once you walk through those doors, it's this little hidden gem where the food completely speaks for itself.

Mastabe is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Order it and put it on everything.

Such an amazing dinner and the perfect way to end our day. We left ridiculously full and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best meals we've had so far.“

“We had a fantastic dinner here. I ordered the chicken combo plate and my wife had the beef combo plate Both were amazingly delicious - perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and full of good energy. Highly recommend next time you're in Sherman Oaks.“

“Haig’s Kabob House is hands down the best for BBQ! I ordered takeout for a party of six, and the staff was super professional and understanding. My order was ready right on time, no issues at all.We got beef lule kebobs, chicken breast skewers, and beef filet mignon skewers—everything was juicy, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly how we wanted. The texture and flavor were amazing.They also have fresh salads and appetizers that go great with the meal. The place itself is very clean, organized, and welcoming.Thank you, Haig’s Kabob House, for the great food and service!“

“WOW this might be one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Such an unassuming place, order at a window and take to go or sit at a picnic table on the sidewalk. I was blown away. The chicken was so tender and flavorful and the sauces were bomb. The owner is so friendly too. Great service and seriously delicious food.“

“Amazing! Friendly fast Service!
This place is sooo Good.
It was 1st time on a friday night.. and will defintely be back!!

The Maccrons were soooo delicious ✨✨✨✨“

“Excellent food. Really great lamb chops. Yum. And really yummy homemade desserts.“

“Wish I could give this place ten stars. The chicken plate is humongous and packed with flavor. The char from the charcoals adds incredible flavor. We also had the ground lamb and beef kebab wrap and I considered getting a second. Amazing. At peak times there can be a little bit of a wait but it’s worth it.“

“I was car shopping and got hungry, we came into this place by Google maps and let me just say, this place is awesome, we had hummus, potato salad and yogurt and cucumber appetizer, AMAZING, we got two platters one ground beef and steak and One chicken and steak, both steaks were cook to perfection (it's freaking rare to get perfect steaks in any restaurant) chicken was tender and juicy, ground beef was nice and soft, portions are really good, I m a heavy hitter and I ended up full, also Eddie is the man, great customer, ask for him when coming here (unfortunately I forgot to take pictures)“

“Seems like a training day. When you are a new customer and you order a plate, you have no idea what comes with it and no explanation. I ordered a two meat chicken beef combo and was asked if I wanted meat. It was off but the food was delicious...“

“A Korean run Chinese skewer shop, serving lamb and beef skewers and other Korean/Chinese dishes. Skewers were tender and flavorful. Other dishes and banchan were really good too. Staff was great and basically cooks the skewers for you. The seating area is a bit small and ventilation isn't great so you'll def be smelling like bbq.“

“My husband and I visited our favorite spot, Yerevan Shawarma! It’s our absolute favorite place in Los Angeles. They make amazing shawarma—we’ve ordered it many times, and it’s always top-notch. They even treated us to some delicious *okroshka* since we’re regulars. Highly recommended!“

“Great place and an excellent service. Very delicious food at affordable prices.“

“Such a great kebab and in convient place to“

“I've been going here for over 20 years. Great food, friendly staff. You won't believe the amazing dishes that come out of that kitchen. Don't let the name fool you, I have never had a burger here, my favorite dish... The t-bone steak. Highly recommend!“

“Have gotten takeout from here a number of times. Never disappointed. Flavorful chicken that's nice and tender, ingredients always seem fresh.
All of the sauces are very tasty and they are very generous with them. The chicken plate and The Get Greeky bowl are, so far, my favorites. Pricing is fair compared to some other places.
Staff is friendly and attentive.“

“Clean, fresh and flavorful food - Cornish hen kabob plate and tabouli salad- was quite a nice surprise and delightful experience nestled in the heart of the Garment district.“

“Food was amazing quality and flavor! Very fresh!Service was perfect! The ladies came out and asked how my meal was and if I needed anything more..The location was very very very clean with good seating and a clear menu... Parking was also ideal and easy to get in and out..This place has potential to grow and I would love to see more locations with the same quality..“

“My favorite kebab place in all of the US. well worth the parking headache.“

“A very delicious wrapped shawarma. The sauce is tasty, and the meat is super fresh and marinated. Personally, I would have added more vegetables. But overall, I really enjoyed it. The staff is very welcoming and friendly; they speak English, Armenian, and Russian. I recommend it 100%.“

“I moved one block from this restaurant,from all the other places this is one of my top 3 in the area, it's very cozy & most importantly, the food is great & it's very clean, it's casual for quick eat or even for friends & families or dates, I recommend it highly, try the steak Shawarma or the beef & chicken combo plate, im a regular now , I come here at least once a week“

“When I first found out I could get my favorite Persian soup — the dreamy herby barley packed ASH-E-JO — delivered from Little Tehran up to my place in hills via DOORDASH, I was excited. The soup was everything I hoped for. I just ordered it again tonight. Hooray for LAZIZ GRILL and @doordash“

“Cute and clean restraunt with wide selection of food. A bit inconsistent with the menu which was a bit confusing. Flavors for the protein were good. Could use some hummus or Taziki with the full plate instead of paying 7 to 8 dollars for a side of it. Peacan caramel was unsuspectingly good. Not too sweet and just the right amount of bite. Came in around 6 and the sun was brutal through the window. Maybe some blinds would help with just the eat in. Service was nice and helpful.“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

“I went there yesterday for the first time. I got the lamb shawarma plate, and it was wonderful. I will be returning. It may seem a little pricey, but the quality of the food and the generous portions is well worth it.“

“Best place to eat on the westside.“

“I had my family at The Grill Stories Restaurant yesterday Feb. 28, 2026 There were 6 of us and the food was amazingly delicious we had two big family platers and extra sides , my daughter needs gluten free so she had the Mediterranean salad alone separately she said it was fantastic. The outside dining was very comfortable and cozy , it was a beautiful 85° weather . The round lady hostess and other people there were very friendly and welcoming . After we stuffed ourselves there was still plenty of food to pack and take home . Ultimately it was a great experience and with all the food it was approximately $35 per person including tax and tip, for most people it would be less because we ordered a lot of delicious food. We will return again Thank you to The Grill Stories“

“The people here are awesome. From the parking I was welcomed by the employee that works at their supermarket and also in the restaurant. The food here is fresh and delicious and I can't wait to come try something else on the menu. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“Forget about the rest. Try the best“

“Tried a sample of "Breathe" from the Crooked Path and it was lovely! I was kind of mad I didn't have more of it.“

“The food was AMAZINGG I can’t wait to go back and eat it again. They reached my protein and calories goals while being delicious. The atmosphere and service was amazing and Jennifer was welcoming and had a Bright smile. Would go again 😊“

“This is a hidden gem. These guys are super friendly, accommodating, and provide amazing service. The food is superb and it reminds me of some of the famous food trucks in the plethora of other countries that I've visited. The prices are fair and the amount of food you get for that price is astounding. Great work guys.“

“The food was amazing. Got the crispy shawarma with chicken and I was taken for a ride to flavor city. Idk what wizardry they did in the kitchen but I was hooked at the first bite.

The crispy shawarma with beef was pretty good too. It is cooked with a little lamb fat, so it was slightly gamey. Not really what I like, but if you like lamb then you'll probably really like the beef.

I also got a chicken thigh plate. It's your standard chicken plate that you'd get at Mediterranean places. Char on the chicken tasted great as well as the chicken itself. I'm not usually the biggest fan of hummus but the hummus here tasted better than other places.

Next time I'd probably just get one crispy shawarma chicken. It's pretty filling. Can't wait to come again!“

“The food was spectacular Everything made fresh and the prices are very reasonable I highly recommend“

“I got introduced to stocker market 2 months ago, they are a friendly family owned market. Varooj and his wife does the kitchen orders. Had the great recipe passed down b generations. This was the first place I’ve seen the Armenian spaghetti (Macaron) sold freshly prepared. Her cooking is awesome and the store has all the specialty Armenian products. Support the family markets trying to service their community and are doing an amazing job. They are not as expensive as the bigger stores. They also have koobideh at $7 a pound. Fantastic price and done properly. Thank you for doing what you do!“

“The chicken is so good and juicy. Its fresh and full of flavor.“

“The servers were extremely polite and friendly, and the food was excellent. I honestly haven’t had a sandwich this delicious anywhere around this area. Definitely try their chicken sandwich ,it’s absolutely worth it!😌🤤“

“This is definitely one of the most flavorful kabob restaurants I’ve been to. The quality and flavor each time I eat here doesn’t disappoint. If you’re ever in the area and want something that’s tasty and with very generous portions I’d advise you to come here. The staff at this location is very punctual with orders that I’ve phoned in and they’re very friendly people as well. Thank you so much Villa! :)“

“Best burgers in LA... come here at least once a month“

“Had their skewers and dry pot delivered, and honestly one of the best drypots I've ever had (i eat malatang every single week). Spicy, numbing, savory, and balanced. A lot of other dry pots tend to be sesame forward, but I liked that they stayed true to the mala chili oil. It was still so good the day after omg I still dream about it“

“Super Deli! 100% recomendado 😋“

“Food it’s great, I love it“

“The Shawarmins are awesome! Very friendly and cool owners. HEY Guys! It's ME!“

“Food is really good, good prices, lot of food“

“Had the beef and chicken kabob wraps with fries, very good and tasty food! Very fresh as well. Super clean restaurant, wasn't too busy which was surprising but I guess I am years late to the hype. Really good food compared to what we get in Canada, I will definitely come back on my next Cali trip because the food was definitely worth it. Sucks that the location is kind of out of the way of most things, but if you're going to Universal or Warner Bros, this is not too far out of the way in a more local residential part of California, giving you the at home vibes you miss during your vacationing or getaway trips.“

“Great food and it’s very cheap, I recommend it to anybody.“

“The best koobideh I have ever tried!! Delicious food with an amazing price.“

“Great food in a run-down shopping center in koreatown. A nice departure from standard Korean BBQ. Food is a bit pricey but it's really solid. the grills have little automatic skewer rotator mechanisms which are super cool and the staff are very helpful. Great! Vegetarian options and the kitchen cooked dishes are really impressive.“

“This is amazing place - VERY FRIENDLY SERVICE AND SUPER TENDER FIRE GRILL BBQ MUST TRY !!!! BEST BBQ IN D VALLEY ❤️I'm sure they changed the people since I'm shocked with previous reviews 5 months ago! KEEP DOING THE GREAT WORK ?“
