There were cockroaches on the floor the door is wide open for flies and stinky transients. There is no ice or plastic cups available. There is also no to go boxes. There is no AC running (fans are of no use in my opinion was still hot in there) horrible customer service the guy doesn't even greet you he just looks at you with a blank look on his face. And when there was an indoor mask mandate it was never enforced by the store. In the end, this place either has to improve or should close the atmosphere or services are not very appealing. And prices are about 2 to 3 dollars over the top I can get a soda at the liquor next to it for cheaper.

Cant describe how delicious it was. It's also very very affordable. Great place. My wife and I loved it. Definitely coming back.

I can not describe how delicious is the food. I've been eating Shawarma for soo many years but this is something different. Highly recommended for everybody.

I went there to place an big order very friendly staf. THE CLEANEST FAST FOOD I EVER BEEN.I ordered for my son’s birthday some lula kababs and french frieses. They make the order super fast gave it to me and very nice staff again.

Nope. Never again. Let's start with the restaurant. I ordered some food and sat down at a table. I was seated by the kitchen wall that has a window looking in to see them cooking. In about 3 minutes a cockroach started walking across my table. I knocked it off and then looked to see where it fell. I immediately saw 2 additional roaches crawling on the floor below my feet. I looked in toward the kitchen and saw a 4th roach crawling on the wall beside me.I was about to cancel my order but it came out quickly so I just took it to go, feeling very uneasy about it. One bite in and it sealed the deal for me. Never going back. The chicken was dry and bland. The shawarma sauce tastes distinctly like someone poured Tapatio Hot sauce into yogurt and then called it tahini. Instead of flat bread for the hummus I got 2 off brand Hawaiian rolls in an off the shelf zip lock baggie.Thought it'd give it a try, and now I'm hoping I don't get sick from it. Couldn't finish more than a few bites. I wouldn't have eaten that much but I was hungry.

Omgg They have the best wraps and plates, we ordered for delivery it was actually really fast delivery. We got Chicken shawarma wrap and plate and asked for extra sauses on the side probably now on me and my wife gone be ordering from there everyday because it sooo goood the chicken was so mouthwatering and i love the garlic sauce they send it on the side.Thanks you for the best service:)

Incredible flaxor and fresh ingredients. The food here isworth every dollar and by far one of the best uniqueeats in Los Angeles. The chicken shawarma pita and allthe selections of salads (sides) are amazing.

Ordered chicken shawarma, the shawarma tasted weird, the salad was confused, it was vinegary and had a carrot and cauliflower on top with onion. The rice was an average. The only good thing was the dinner roll, I was expecting pita bread though because that’s what Mediterranean food offers. I usually eat at Noho cafe and the shawarma definitely did not look like what I have ate, it was dry chicken with some sauce added to it. I ordered on Uber eat and should have been more careful.

Too long of a wait time. Too many people waiting. Prices could be a tad cheaper. Overall good food but the wait makes one anxious when hangry.

Could not believe how expensive the food is for what they give you. Didn't taste that great either.
