Its namesake is true. Of all the middle eastern places I've been to this is hands down best I've had. From the chicken to the beef to the rice, every part of the combination plate was top notch.

Literally the BEST food! You will go back again and again. And if you are lucky, the sweet man who is always there (I'm guessing the owner) to give you an unexpected taste of something yummy (I've tried the lentil soup and he just surprised someone who had never had falafel with a mini falafel sandwich to try-and of course gave me one too). Bring cash or use the ATM, you won't be disappointed!

The most delicious food with great service and the prices are good too
They have the best shawarma around and no one comes close. Definitely the OG spot in town. Very consistent and flavorful. Service is second to none.

Chicken shawerma sandwich was a perfect lunch, guys there were incredible friendly, hooked me up with lentil soup that warmed my bones on a cold day. Cannot wait to go back

One of the best falafel sandwiches I've ever had. Owner is super nice and made the falafel fresh. The ratio of falafel to hummus to veggies to sauce to pita was perfect. Whatever spices he used made the veggies taste so fresh. And the fresh lemon peel gave both the sandwich and the lentil soup (also excellent and recommended by the owner) a nice kick. Can't wait to come back and try the shawerma.
Messed up my order the 1st time charge me full price the 2nd time will not be returning

Got a chicken shawarma sandwich. Taste was great. Small place, so you can't really sit down anywhere but that was fine, the food made up for it

I saw this little shop on my way to a friends anniversary celebration nearby and noted that I should try to visit this place once I had a moment of time.
Note here that’s it’s cash only but they do accept Zelle.
The nicely seasoned steak off a rotating spit (shawarama) and served in a pita with onions, tomato and tahini sauce was really excellent. It had a good char on the meat and the toppings complimented the salty and seasoned fatty steak.
Their fries was unique to me. Not quite know how it was prepared but the outer skin of the fries kind of puffed into a crunchy “chex” texture with a steamy soft interior. I could eat a huge bag of this. Salt is the only thing that is needed for this.
Is this “Best Shawerma” ever? Perhaps, but I have only a few recollections of ever trying this specific labeled food (shawarma). I have more experience with a similar style of food from the Greek and Mediterranean options. This is on par with some of the best I have had.
The staff, chef and cook was very friendly and prepared food fresh and to order. Ill definitely try more items on their menu next time I am in the Burbank area.
