Had an order for pick up and not only was it ready late but there was a massive hair in the chicken pita. I reached out about the hair as it made the meal inedible and never got a response. I really enjoyed this spot before. Disappointed. read more

There are times in life when you come across certain foods that should just be illegal because it is so good & their hummus is to DIE FOR!!! It is the BEST HUMMUS I have ever had. So CREAMY & DELICIOUS & YUMMY!! I am convinced that the recipe and the hands that made it, made it with love! I order from here often. Their other food is really delicious also--always hits, never misses, but their hummus is my favorite thing. It is so BEYOND! That hummus deserves an award! lol read more

Customer service here has gone downhill and the wait time is absolutely insane. I get they are busy, but hire more staff. 30 mins to make a wrap is diabolical. This happened last time I ordered here about a month ago, and it happened again tonight. Regardless I'm not paying for the food, and I'm deft not ordering here again. read more

I had an amazing time here at Anwar's Kitchen. The food is just super juicy and fresh! The service was very diligent and friendly! The ambiance was very pleasant and fun! 5 stars! read more

We were so excited to finally be able to visit Anwar's Kitchen, but did they disappoint. From start to finish, the experience was a letdown. First off, the employees were not welcoming, made us feel like we were an inconvenience. We placed our order at the self-kiosk and waited about 15 minutes for our food and the place was empty. When our food finally arrived, the server was very dry and just placed / threw food on table. The food wasn't it! The food was flavorless ! The beef shawarma was dry, and the rice had no flavor. The hummus tastes like tahini , watery, and oily. The food was not even warm. Definitely not worth the $100.00 I spent. I don't recommend this place! read more

Ordered delivery at 1am, fries were delivered to my hotel at hotel per la which is 1-2 blocks away. The fries ended up stale. Tasted like they were sitting out for a while. Chicken shawarma was lacking flavor, as well as the beef tacos. Ordered from them because the good reviews, maybe they just had a bad day. read more

Solid Mediterranean spot (we did takeout because my friend has ordered from her before and liked it). I like how many options they have - if you want fries, chips, chicken, other kinds of meat. They also have a solid array of sauces you can choose from to accompany your meal. Definitely a solid option if you are hungry and in the area! read more

We visited with our kids, and the restaurant staff made the evening stress-free. They were patient, brought out extra plates, and even suggested mild dishes for the little ones. The falafel platter and lamb kebabs were outstanding, and the kids devoured the pita bread and tzatziki. The colorful décor and warm atmosphere made it feel inviting and fun for the whole family. read more

Everything is so fresh. Everyone is so kind. Place is well kept and clean! If you want authentic middle eastern cuisine, this is the spot! You will not regret it. read more

I have been looking for a go-to gyro spot since leaving the east coast, and I think I have finally found it! I have tried several items at Anwar's and they are all good, tabbouleh, hummus, fries, etc. But my favorite is the gyro pita sandwich! It is the meatiest and most flavorful, gyro I have had on the west coast. I love the combination of tasty, crunchy, and pickled veggies in the sandwich as well. The only reason it is not 5 stars is because they didn't have cups of water for customers the last couple of times we came in. But other than that, Anwar's is great. read more

The food was amazing and the service was fast. The portion size was absolutely perfect. I got the kids meal and it became two meals. I will definitely be back. Great late night ambiance in the heart of downtown, but the place was filled with LAPD eating on their breaks, so even late night we felt safe. read more

Really liked the food had me ready for more. Customer service was great and vibe was nice read more

So I was told that they squeezed their own juice! That is way so cool. I would love to drink healthy drinks! Their food focus on health so I am just super excited to have found a restaurant like this. I am also loving their lentil soup. It was some of the best lentil soups that I have tasted. Don't skip out on the tacos. I was not sure what they did to the taco sauce; it was simple refreshing and delicious. Stop by today and enjoy a healthy meal. read more

Their hummus is my favorite hummus - it's ruined all other hummus for me because now I only want to eat this one! I also love their chicken swarma wrap and their salmon salad as well. Great place for a casual meal. read more

Finally! Wow it's so good, the chicken is so juicy and full of flavor. The pita is nicely warm, fluffy and soft. I love the hummus too as it pairs nicely with the fluffy pita bread. I also like to wrap the pita with the chicken and rice drenched in their hot sauce. So very delicious. Now I'm interested in trying their beef and shrimp plate. Food is so delicious. read more

Definitely good. I really enjoyed the side beets. They were beets, but seasoned and dressed nicely. Nice establishment, nice ambiance.

Excellent food. Whether you order in person, phone or use the app, the meals always are consistent and tasty! I've been here several times and this last visit I gave the salmon a try and it was delish. Cooked perfectly read more

Located near Santee Alley in DTLA. Street parking only. Lots of indoor seating tho. They have a self-order kiosk, and normally only 1 person running everything out on the floor. So there's rarely someone there to greet you as you walk in. It's mostly self-service most of the time. Food comes out quick. And they are open super late. Like 4am, so that's very handy. Lots of to-go order pick ups. Food is tasty and good portions. The watermelon Fresca was delicious. read more

Anwar's Kitchen is cooking up some of the best Halal Mediterranean food I've had in dtla. This restaurant was opened by social media influencer Anwar and his mother and is open everyday until 4AM! The portions are generous and the gyro and shawarma are very flavorful The restaurant itself is a good size with lots of tables. It has modern decor with really nice lights. The mural of Anwar is hilarious too lol I came in around 12pm and there was no wait. Shoutout to Antoni for helping us out and answering all my questions Definitely check them out when you're in dtla! read more

So I got takeout and the reviews are only based on the food itself. I did not dine in or pick up. My boyfriend ordered the food there & picked it up himself. Food 3/5: Nothing different, tasty, but tastes like mediterranean. What makes it a 2/5 is there was hair cooked into my falafel. It wasn't on top, next to it, in the bag... it was literally inside the falafel and it disgusted me. It was also a very long back hair lol. Btw, I have blonde hair & my boyfriend has short black hair. My boyfriend made a review but they haven't posted his review yet. read more

I got the rice plate which was not that good, but I had a taste of my friends' wrap and baklava which both were 7/10. Not sure why the plate was bad, but because it was the pita bread and the meat, you could taste the meat being not as good. Wrap had everything in it and so when combining the different textures and flavors, it's pretty good though. They skimp out on the amount of pita you get on the rice plate too which sucks, but I think that's why they give you a sufficient amount of rice. Barely 3/5 for me, but the service was nice :) read more

I am extremely biased in favor of Mediterranean food. I find it refreshing, distinctive and flavorful. It's definitely a change of pace from my usual diet and I love the variety that it brings and how big of a role the vegetables play in it. This place embodies all of those qualities and my experience here was great, except for a couple of things: they skimped on the shrimp in my order, and also, one of my friend's order too way longer than the other 3 (it was 4 of us). Minor quips, but other than that, a great place at a fantastic location. read more

Best shawarma in all of DTLA. Fairly priced and consistently delicious. Their hummus is amazing too.

Staff team was very polite, I got these amazing gyro and shrimp tacos with fries, they were made from chef moe, they taste amazing and I was treated with respect. Amazing 10/10 restaurant read more

Anwar's Kitchen - Shrimp gyro tacos - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Chicken not good. And hummus is watery. It's more like nacho cheese consistency. Place is clean. Staff was friendly. Just the food I ate was not good. I came back to find what country it was from, bc maybe there was a spice in it that's specifically used in that country. But I've tried shawarma from over 100 places and this chicken flavoring dies not taste like typical chicken shawarma seasoning. The food is cooked well. Everything seemed fresh. read more

I ordered this for the first time via a delivery app and I really appreciate the care they put into my food. I got the veggies plate and the salmon plate. Everything from the rice, veggies (mushrooms were fire!!!), to the salmon were amazing. I am definitely going to be a regular here. The pita and hummus were really good. I'm thankful l found this place!!! It was so amazing. read more

After giving them another try and big shoutout to Anwar for making it right, their portion sizes definitely improved! And of course their quality and taste remain impeccable. read more

Anwar's kitchen is a solid choice for lunch and dinner! Especially if you're REALLY hungry. everything is very tasty and the portions are good enough to even have leftovers. they have all the classic mediterranean dishes, we know and love and taco fusions as well! The staff is always very friendly, but they do tend to be pretty busy so please be patient! I also recommend calling ahead if you're in a rush. The space is perfect for casual dining and the fridge full of baklava treats is always mesmerizing. read more

My friends and I were craving some type of Mediterranean food. But we wanted something different, not your average type of halal food. We came across Anwar's Kitchen in the Fashion District by Santee Alley in DTLA. [FOOD] Cheese Barak (4/5) - Definitely flavorful with all the spices. Reminded me of an eggroll and a mozzarella stick. Shawarma Tacos (5/5)- You have the option to choose from 4 types. We decided to try one of each (chicken, beef, gyro, and falafel). Perfect shareable order. Grilled Salmon Plate (5/5) - Probably my favorite out of everything. It came with salad, hummus, pita bread, and salmon on a bed of veggies and rice. Chicken Shawarma Wrap (5/5) - Loved the tortilla wrap. Perfectly thin without the guilt of too many carbs. It also had some pickled items inside, which I enjoyed. Anwar Style Shrimp (5/5) - Shrimps were perfectly cooked on a bed of crispy fries. Loved the crunchiness of the pita chip additions, as well. Nice shareable item. Beet Hummus (5/5) - Creamy and delicious. Enjoyed it with the pita bread. Garlic Basil Spread (5/5) - Perfect with bread, chips, and even wraps. Muhummara (5/5)- Super flavorful with a hint of sweetness. Perfect with pita chips. [DRINKS] Cantaloupe Agua Fresca - First favorite. Watermelon Agua Fresca - Second favorite. Pineapple Agua Fresca - Next favorite. Jamaica Agua Fresca - Least favorite. Parking can be a bit tricky. There's parking meter parking all around. Not hard to miss, as it is situated on a corner. We placed our order with Anthony. He gave us some suggestions and was very helpful. Everything came out in a timely manner. We definitely enjoyed everything. There is table and booth seating available. Good for small parties of people. Clean and bright. Definitely would love to come back to try other items! read more

The chicken here is so good I have to assume it's the inspiration for Curb Your Enthusiasm's Palestinian chicken episode. Don't get me wrong, though, it's not just the chicken; all the food is outstanding: the hummus, garlic sauce, falafel; the pita, even, is an elevated experience. Service from the front desk is top notch even under torrential order pressure. read more

It was delicious , I would go back to try other items on the menu. Thank you for an awesome meal

The shawarma tacos is what makes LA such a great foodie destination combining two cultures with this delicious dish is a must to try. Halal meats are used and their baklava has that homemade touch you can't find at some store bought stuff. read more

I have been going to Anwar's Kitchen for three years now consecutively and it's my absolute favorite Shawarma place in LA. The food never disappoints, the service is always great, it's always an amazing place to dine in anytime of day and the chef Mo has always been super friendly to me and always caters to what I need and always looks for ways to improve the restaurant or add new things to the menu. Also one of the only places in LA where you can dine in very late at night any day! read more

Came here because of the reviews, the food was amazing but the music playing this night did not fit the vibe. I expect a middle eastern welcoming presence instead was hit with LOUD Mexican music. Is this a shawarma restaurant or a middle eastern restaurant? It almost felt disrespectful. read more

my faveeeeee. first had Anwar's when I attended the beauty school across the street and instantly fell in love. my go-to is the chicken shawarma pita with fries and I always gotta make sure I get extra side of the garlic dip! Pita and hummus is immaculate! But babyyyy, that baba ghanoush!!!! Whewwwww! Amazing! Anwae'a is always clean and tidy and the service is always exceptional. Definitely worth the try! read more

Wow! Walked by this place and decided to try it out and when I tell you I was pleasantly surprised, it was great! The food was delicious and beautifully seasoned. I reminisce about this place often due to the food! The ambience of the place was nice and inviting! The service was mediocre, considering we had to wait a couple of minutes in order for someone to arrive at the front desk. The great food made up for it read more

Everything here is amazing & full of flavor. Salads come so loaded with meat you don't need a side dish unless maybe you are sharing. Falafels are a decent size, supper fresh & seasoned to perfection! I'm so happy they have a loyalty program now. read more
