Just delicious! I have to stop by here whenever I'm in the neighborhood. And the coffee is free

That pita bread and hummus is wonderful. The hummus is lighter / less thick and the pita texture pairs very well. The sandwiches are huge! Although I wouldn't say I would know this is wagyu (if you didn't tell me what I was eating) it was still a delicious sandwich read more

We just found this spot & already can't wait to come back. The people and service were great. Casual, clean environment. Delicious and healthy options! My husband had the half wagyu shawarma pita. I had the half house made kebab pita with schug on the side to share. We also shared a salad and the Melabi dessert. The quality of everything was so good! The dessert wasn't too sweet. My husband was also obsessed with their sauces. Definitely check them out! read more

i didn't really get the hype around this place mainly because i wasn't a fan of the meat or the proportion of seasonings used. the pita was pretty small for the price point and the wait was long. both were cold when they came out too. read more

Came to check this place out. I visited this place an hour and a half before closing and most of the tables were full. Definitely feels like the place to be for a quick bite for dinner. I was greeted upon entering and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. I did want to try this place out because I saw previous photos of their menu having beef and lamb. On my visit, I noticed where the word lamb was on their menu was no longer there. I ordered the wagyu shawarma sandwich and a can of the apple pear juice. Wagyu Shawarma Sandwich 3/10- I liked the idea of the sandwich. My sandwich was so salty, I ate 1/4 of it finished my drink. The meat of my sandwich had a very strong gamey taste that was very off putting. The distinct taste of the meat was hard to believe that it was wagyu. I don't think I would order this again. Apple Pear Juice 10/10- Highly recommend. This drink was amazing and had a refreshing taste. I wish I knew the brand name of this canned beverage as it was something I would purchase again. read more

Ordered both the vegan shawarma and the chicken shawarma. Both tasted overwhelmingly of turmeric and were quite bland, adding extra tahini only helped so much to add to the one-note seasoning. The amba sauce basically tasted like an overly acidic vinaigrette. The portion of meat/cauliflower was generous, but that hardly mattered with how underwhelming the flavors were. The fries were also depressingly soggy and the potato had an unpleasant sweetness to it. The employees were nice, though. read more

My friends and I came here to try the wagyu shawarma because I shared a video of a foodie influencer raving about it. My goodness, it was so delicious, I think about it from time to time. The meat was just so flavorful and tender and the sauce just really added to it. It is on the pricier side and we didn't get full off it. The place isn't too big but there's a decent amount of seating if you wanted to eat in. I think it's worth a try and would come back once in a while if it wasn't so far from me. read more

Avi Cue is off the hook. Not always does a restaurant's actual dishes match the photos you find online but in this case the food more than lives up. This place is perfect for a solo exploration or casual date--the vibe is relaxed and simple. If you're a fan of soft Mediterranean-style (my description, not official) tallow fries, Avi Cue has some of the best I've enjoyed in L.A. I truly cannot wait to plan another trip to this spot soon. read more

OMG. There is great dining in most major cities these days but when it comes to next-level casual culinary masterpieces LA destroys other cities. Avi Cue is a great example why this is true. In the hands of others the shawarma would be good - possibly very good but Avi Cue has masterminded the side sauces, the spices, sourced incredible meat, the pita pockets are soft and fluffy, the chicken (brined?) succulent as any in the city. This place rules. Go! Go now! You are wasting time. Joy awaits. read more

This is the second time I've been here. The Shawarma is literally the best drama I have ever had.

Not what it was hyped up to be. $15 Wagyu pita sandwich: yes, you may get $15 worth of meat... but the ratio is totally off. The fresh pita is stuffed to the brim with just meat and then you are given two half slices of tomato and a handful of raw onion. Semi unclear if the wagyu meat was just beef or mixed with lamb. It had a cinnamon type flavor that I personally did not enjoy but will admit it was very tender shawarma meat. Did not see any chicken, seafood or vegetarian options. The hot sauce is good but they charge $1 for a tiny side. Difficult to park in the very small parking lot with tiny spaces, so ended up parking on Ventura. Seating area is clean and new on the inside but not much room if you're more than a party of 2. read more

Ordered shawarma online from Avi Cue. The meat was juicy and pita fresh, but it was over-spiced--too much kick for my taste. Decent, but might not rush back. read more

Ever try a restaurant on a whim and then have to go back the same week to try everything on the menu? That's Avi Cue. Everything is amazing, down to the tahini! The green sauce is an explosion of flavor and I wanted to mix it in with everything, but the hummus is too perfect to change. The pita is perfectly light and fluffy, and those are just sides and sauces! Don't skip the Arayes. If you're vegan, the cauliflower is SO GOOD. read more

The Ultimate Shawarma If you think you've had good shawarma, think again--because *Avi Cue* isn't just any shawarma spot. This place takes everything you thought you knew about Middle Eastern street food and flips it on its head. Wagyu shawarma? Yes, you read that right. Wagyu. And let me tell you, it's a game-changer. Let's get straight to the star of the menu: the **Wagyu Shawarma Sandwich**. This isn't your average, run-of-the-mill pita wrap. The Wagyu beef is ridiculously tender--it practically melts in your mouth--and the seasoning? Perfection. Bold spices, a hint of tang, and just the right amount of richness. But what really ties it all together is the balance of textures and flavors: creamy tahini, tangy amba sauce, fresh parsley, and the crunch of onion. Oh, and the pita? Absolute heaven. Soft, fluffy, and sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart. It's like they've engineered the perfect bite. Now, I know what you're thinking--$25 for shawarma? But hear me out: this is no ordinary shawarma. This is premium Wagyu beef, seasoned and cooked to perfection, served in what can only be described as the Rolls-Royce of pitas. It's worth every single penny. The sides deserve their own standing ovation. The **fried cauliflower**? Unreal. Lightly crisped, perfectly spiced, and not greasy at all. I could eat a whole tray of it by myself. Then there's the **spicy hummus**, which is smooth, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy to keep your palate on its toes. Pro tip: pair the hummus with the cauliflower for a snack combo you'll dream about later. And let's not forget dessert. I'm not usually a dessert person, but the **Malabi** won me over. It's this silky, rosewater-infused pudding topped with just enough crunch and syrup to make it feel special without being overly sweet. It's light, refreshing, and the perfect way to wrap up your meal. The vibe at Avi Cue is laid-back but trendy. The space is on the smaller side, so it's probably better for couples or small groups rather than big parties. But whether you're dining in or grabbing your food to-go, the staff is friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they're serving. They even throw in free Turkish coffee sometimes, which is such a nice touch. Consistency is another thing I love about Avi Cue. I've been here a few times now, and every single visit has been just as good as the last. The food is always fresh, the flavors are always on point, and everything is packaged so well that even takeout feels special. Honestly, it's hard to find food this good in LA. Avi Cue is one of those rare places that manages to be creative and original while still delivering on quality and flavor every single time. If you haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out. So, do yourself a favor: go to Avi Cue, order the Wagyu shawarma, and thank me later. Your taste buds will never be the same. read more

Best Hummus and pita in Los Angeles hand down super fresh and authentic yet homade taste.

I was trying that place for the first time It had been highly recommended to me by a foodie friend! It was just okay No as great as the hype it seems to be about Avi Cue but I may try different dishes next time, and try again read more

The shawarma was legit. Arayes was good too but not quite as special. French fries excellent, with special beet ketchup. The pita bread is so soft and doughy. Good sound system playing modern Israeli and other middle eastern music, not too loud. We were there Sunday 4:30 pm, a very off-hour, yet parking was quite tight. I imagine it's definitely more of a takeout spot during rush hour. Oh, and free delicoous coffee! read more

Avi Cue - Wagyu shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The service was very pleasant, and I enjoyed speaking to the guy behind the counter. He was very good at explaining about the Shawarma, which is only beef with lamb fat, packed in between the big slices, and then put on the rotisserie. I chose to get a salad which I was button to find out that they do not offer avocado on. Besides that it was OK because they went ahead and served the beef Shawarma on a bed of arugula, lettuce, which I was very impressed by not a lot of places do that! It definitely added to the flavor, and even though I felt that the Shawarma was a bit too salty for my own taste, I would definitely recommend it to somebody else to give it a try. The restaurant is small and has bar seating for individuals which is not particularly very big. There's a couple of tables available also I think that being able to fit a restaurant into that small space is a feet and they've done a good job at it. read more

Definitely fan of the food. The meats are fresh and tender. The veggies are crisp. The flavor is definitely not something you've had before. Try the wagyu shawarma or check out the kabob sandwich. Both are to satisfy your cravings. The guys are really nice and helpful if you don't know what to get. Definitely a favorite spot for a quick lunch. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. read more

Avi Cue - Kabob Sandwich - Middle Eastern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Kind staff. Parking lot with valet if needed. Within the plaza there are other busy restaurants so the self parking can get tricky for this fast casual yet hip restaurant. They serve a free hot coffee that was delicious; a coffee version of chai tea. Pricing and portions are as expected. The wagyu sando was delicious. They are generous with the meat and I love their tahini, sug, and amba (typically not my cup of tea but it gave the sandwich the balance it needs). Yes you are coming to try this atypical meat for shawarma, but the sandwich itself is so balanced, which is what will impress you most. 4.5 stars that I will round up since I cannot think of a reason not to do so. read more

I just discovered Avi Cue via Postmates. The food is SO delicious. SALAD: They have delicious arugula that is rich in flavor. (I'm picky when it comes to arugula.) Half of the dressing and the tahini is what I mix into the salad and it's so good. I could eat a huge bowl of it! FRIES: Okay, these are the perfect cut/style of fries and taste good especially when crispy. They have sizeable salt shavings that make it a bit overbearingly salty so I tend to wipe off the salt on each fry before eating them. When you order on Postmates, there is no option to add customization, so I can't ask for less salt. I'm sure in person I would be able to. Other than the saltiness, they are so good. Pour the green hot sauce on them and enjoy bliss! VEGAN SHAWARMA SAMDWICH is perfection. It doesn't even need any of the sauces that come with it. It's so filling, too. I've never had anything like it and was happy to eat such a delectable vegetarian dish! All the thumbs up for this place. I highly recommend. When I visit in person, I'll take pics and update my review. read more

three words. WAGYU. BEEF. TALLOW. Can you go wrong? I don't think so. The wagyu shawarma (with everything) is so good. The quality of the meat surpasses any shawarma place you will find nearby. Beef tallow fries were just what everyone needs. I paired this with their green parsley Serrano sauce along with the Amba sauce (favorite). You can eat it without any dipping sauce too tho, most definitely. Will definitely be back here again and try more items. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent chicken Shawarma good size portion and delicious. Best pizza I've had in a while, soft and puffy.

The wagyu beef pita was next level delicious. It's by far one of the best things I've ever eaten. Parking can be tricky but well worth it.

Thought this place was just ok. I know everyone is raving because it's "wagyu" but the meat was very gamely and dry. The sauces they had were good tho. read more
