Delicious food friendly service. We ordered wraps and fries all were delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful, JacobV educated us on the ordering process and gave us suggestions for next time. He and the other staff made an effort to get to know us. There are some tables to eat there but it's kinda small. There was plenty of parking. I will return and order another wrap.

I ate here on a Wednesday and from Thursday to Monday, I had an upset stomach. Employee was nice. Small parking lot for the plaza. Might be difficult to find parking on busy times. Food definitely was not fresh. The hummus was very dry for some reason. The rice was also not fresh. On a good note, I lost some weight.

Must get their pork kabob, thank me later. Always come back !!!!!!! They are opened late , good snack to get!

I can't deny, one of the best shawarmas I have had in a while. They do have a lamb shawarma, which is somewhat a rarity these days. I got the Lamb Shawarma Wrap with lavash and it was great. Very classic Armenian style, nothing extra, just the meat, veggies, herbs, and the sauce. They use real charcoal for their grills so I am definitely coming back to try more.

Best food and customer service in town! Huge shoutout to Varuz for truly going above and beyond to take care of me, that level of service doesn't go unnoticed. I've been coming here for the past 9 years, and not only is the food still just as amazing as I remember, but the experience keeps getting better.

Food was great, as was the service!! Drink made in house (the Basil one) was delicious! The restaurant was clean and chill. The staff were very friendly! Definitely try everything we ordered and you won't be disappointed

So I don't usually write reviews, but I HAD to for this place. Everything we got was incredible. The beef plate was perfectly seasoned and so flavorful, the pork fries were next level (seriously so good), and the dolma and tzatziki were fresh and delicious. Every single thing we tried was a hit, but what really made this place special was the customer service! They were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely cared about us having a good experience. They even gave us free banana pudding, which was amazing! You can tell they take pride in their food and how they treat people. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to everyone. amazing food and staff was so kind &helpful!!!

Oh my god. The first 3 words out of my mouth full of delicious pork, fries, and whatever else they put in this thing. The guys here are super nice, always will to accommodate, and the food is fantastic. I appreciate the outdoor seating for the fresh air too.

Wow the chicken was very well seasoned & had so much flavor. The customer service was amazing! The guy taking our order was very welcoming & seemed happy that we were enjoying the food. The drizzled sauce on top of the chicken shawarma plate really was the cherry on top. Perfect casual spot that has indoor seating as well.

Bad decision coming here. The restaurant is clean and it seems to have good food but unfortunately the owner is very rude. He was giving me a mean stare the entire time. When I received my food it was some kind of ground chicken and ground beef. It was my first time there and I had asked for a chicken and steak plate. Instead they gave me some ground beef patty and ground chicken patty which had a weird texture. The man at the register and the cook were very kind and helpful but unfortunately I can't say the same in regards to the owner. I will never again spend my hard earned money at an establishment who treats their customers so rudely. There's a cost to do business. And as long as your customer is being reasonable you should accommodate their needs. The owner needs a lesson in customer service. I'm sure the food is good but I will never come back here and I DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Literally "best shawarma" I love this place. Not only is the staff super friendly their food is amazing and fresh. I just read couple reviews and I have to disagree with the 1 star reviews, they clearly don't understand how difficult it is to work in a restaurant during these stressful times(don't trust the bad reviews). From the moment we entered this business we were greeted and treated amazing. Our family has been coming here for years and we have never been dissatisfied. Keep up the good work we will always be returning. I recommend getting their chicken shawarma wrap it's so good. The beef and chicken kabob is amazing as well (whatever you get is good the options are unlimited). read more

Forgot to take a picture! But this place is really great and one of my new fav places to get shawarma! The meat is always flavorful and well cooked and the rice is always pillowy soft and it's a huge portion for the price of the plate. I've gotten takeout twice now and I came from dtla because it's just that good! They have this sauce on it as well that adds a lot of flavor and usually I'm not a big sauce person. Also the fries are great!!!! I love fries and these fries are very fresh and perfectly salted. Overall I enjoy this place and also the service is always friendly and it's very clean which I'm sure will ease a lot of our minds during this time. read more

We ordered a bunch of food, so here's the review of each dish: -Fiery feta dip: 5/5 -- maybe could be an eeeeeensy spicier, but so well balanced! Not heavy at ALL with the acidity cutting through so nicely. -Grilled Spanish octopus: 4/5 -- not as soft as I thought it would be tbh! Squeeze a lot of lemon; it pairs very well with the spiced oil. -Filet mignon plate: 4.75/5 -- beef cooked perfectly medium rare and seasoned well, tzatziki bright, veggies grilled well, rice could use a bitttttt more flavor but everything still ate really deliciously! - Hummus side: 5/5 -- SOOOO GOOD! super smooth, not too bean-y, spiced well. Super delicious with fries and the pita. - Seasoned fries side: 5/5 -- honestly no complaints! Seasoned with zaatar seasoning blend, it was perfectly salty and a hint of spice with crispy yet fluffy fries. Went well with the side of ketchup, in the hummus, with the feta dip, etc -Server Art is the son of the family who owns Greek Bistro.

The chicken breast is good quality but the spicy chipotle sauce that comes with it has no business here. If the price was around $ 15, with more chicken and falafel, and a tahini based sauce, the burrito might have earned 4-5 stars. Very easy to make at home by the way, just get some rotisserie chicken, a flour tortilla and some salad. I would add some toum or a nice lemony tahini.

I was always told to have a taco when in Los Angeles. And it was perfect that I have Brick and Fliur bookmarked on my LA food collections. We ordered a lot more food to try out. We ordered the carne asada fries, fresh chips and salsa, el pastor burrito, and fish tacos. The fish taco was so delicious and flavorful. The sauce was a creamy siracha mayo aioli. With purple pickled cabbage. The carne asada fries we got was a size large and it was so filling that we didn't get to eat the burrito. The guacamole and crispy fries were amazing. I wish there was more steak. But over all it was worth the drive from Santa Monica pier.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Best Shawarma, and we were blown away by the incredible flavors and quality of their food. From the moment we walked in, the inviting aroma of spices filled the air, setting the stage for a memorable culinary experience. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the beef kebab plate and the beef shawarma wrap. My wife savored every bite of the tender and perfectly seasoned beef kebab, accompanied by a medley of fresh and vibrant vegetables. The combination of flavors was simply outstanding, leaving her thoroughly satisfied. As for the beef shawarma wrap, it was a flavor-packed delight. The thinly sliced beef was juicy and succulent, enveloped in a soft and warm pita bread. The addition of tangy tahini sauce, crisp lettuce, and diced tomatoes elevated the wrap to a whole new level of deliciousness. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that left me craving more. Beyond the exceptional food, the service at Best Shawarma was exemplary. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They happily accommodated our requests and ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The attention to detail in the décor and the cleanliness of the establishment added to the overall pleasant dining experience. Without a doubt, Best Shawarma lives up to its name. The beef kebab plate and the beef shawarma wrap we enjoyed were simply delicious, showcasing the skill and passion of the culinary team. We left the restaurant with satisfied taste buds and a strong desire to return for more of their delectable offerings. If you're a fan of mouthwatering shawarma and kebabs, do yourself a favor and visit Best Shawarma. You won't be disappointed. Five stars are well-deserved for their exceptional food, top-notch service, and inviting ambiance. We can't wait to return and explore more of their delightful menu offerings. read more

Absolutely loved my visit to this local shawarma spot! For those unfamiliar with shawarma, fear not--this place serves up a version that's delightful without being intimidating, making it an excellent introduction to the dish. And for shawarma aficionados, you'll find the flavors and preparation here thoroughly satisfying, capturing the essence of what makes this Middle Eastern delicacy a global favorite. What truly surprised me was the side of fries. They were not just an afterthought; these fries had been given proper attention, perfectly crispy from being expertly fried, proving that the kitchen pays attention to every element of their dishes. The highlight for me, though, was the sauce that accompanied my meal. It's rare to find a sauce that leaves you puzzled yet profoundly content with its taste; I couldn't quite put my finger on what was in it, but I loved it all the same. It added a deliciously mysterious dimension to an already fantastic meal. In summary, if you're looking to explore the world of shawarma, or you're already a fan, this place is a must-visit. From the perfectly spiced shawarma to the surprising delight of the fries and the enigmatic sauce, it's an experience that caters to all tastes. read more

Best Shawarma is a straightforward, no-nonsense spot in Glendale that focuses on what really matters -- flavor and consistency. The shawarma here is juicy, well-seasoned, and generously portioned, with meat that tastes fresh and properly cooked every time. The menu sticks to Middle Eastern and Armenian classics, and that's exactly its strength. Kabobs are solid, wraps are filling, and everything comes out fast without feeling rushed or careless. Sauces and sides complement the meat instead of overpowering it. The space itself is simple and unpretentious -- this is not a trendy hangout, but a reliable neighborhood spot where people come for good food, not photos. If you're looking for satisfying shawarma and hearty comfort food at a fair price, Best Shawarma delivers exactly what it promises. read more

The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every need was met, and their genuine smiles made the atmosphere warm and inviting.

The name speaks very true to the quality of this place. One of the best Shawarma's I have had. I tend to order these wraps every time I visit a restaurant that offers them. This one comes second to my favorite in New York City. WOW. I'm so glad to have made this discovery close to home. We ordered to go last night and tried the chicken and beef combination wrap and the pork shawarma wrap. Their special sauce is perfect. I recommend both. The service was awesome and the lady that helped us made recommendations that were spot on. Thank you. read more

This place truly does have the best shawarma. I was hesitant to believe such a confident declaration, but I wasn't disappointed. The lamb wrap was a well-balanced, tasty delight. The basil compote was alluring and magnetic with a sweet, savory, cinnamon blend. This is your quintessential hole in the wall entrance into a homey atmosphere and love. The service was amazing. Workers there were mind, friendly, and welcoming. The vibe of the place was chill yet open. It is a nice little spot for great eats. I definitely recommend it. read more

This place is delish. Best lamb in town. The fries are crazy big but who says no to lots of fries? The chicken and beef lula leave something to be desired but otherwise, it's GOOD. It's a small, friendly staff there. They'll figure you out fast after a few visits. Best place to get Middle Eastern after Raffi's. Priced reasonably, too. Only thing I'd say is fix the bathroom. Been out of service for ages. Clients wanna be able to wash their hands before eating. And offer more diet drinks. Like Sprite Zero or diet ginger ale. read more

I don't really leave reviews but I really want the public to know not to come to this place. I was humiliated by this older chunky man. This man is the owner of the place and has cursed me out and told me to leave the place and said few things aggressively in his native language which I'm assuming is Armenian. He was very very rude to me and my friends. I will be reporting this place in other places also. You guys don't go here! Horrible service and horrible old man. Take a chill pill dude read more

I am from Saudi Arabia, and coming from where i come, i am very picky about shawerma taste and chicken marination. This place by far is my favorite in California. They have the Lebanese bread and the chicken marination and spices is very very good and tasty. I usually order via uber eats but this time I visited the store and i was welcomed by the sales person yarish/warish. He was very hospitable and I enjoyed my experience in store. To more years of this successful secret taste! read more

The food is good but the place need more attention cleanliness wise and organization. for example I ordered lamb Shawarma and lamb shawarma , they did not put any effort to mark each as lamb vs beef. Another thing: I asked for a receipt but he never gave me one. And he looked funny at me when I did put tip for my to go order. The guys work hard and I certainly will go back and eat more of this yummy shawarma but I decided to give them three stars to motivate them to improve. read more

They charge $3 for bread ?!?!? Last time they burned the bread and i was expecting this time they wont charge me, but they didn't even care. Ops! Let me add something else. I just ordered my food and they used to give other stuff and extra sauce, but not anymore and you have to pay extra $ for sauce. When they get famous, they don't care about customer service anymore. read more

So rude. The guy here was literally looking so miserable and was so rude to us when taking our orders and passing us our food. Not one smile, not once did he ask how we were, or if we needed anything else. Never coming back here especially when there are so many other better options in Glendale that deserve my money. read more
