    Chicken Plate combo
    Gema G.

    Food was BUSSIN The chicken was life changing, super soft and tender like it was marinated overnight. Loved their pickled veggies on the side and the fries were freakin good. I would come back just for the fries 100%. Restaurant was very clean, and the staff were friendly, food was ready pretty fast. 10/10 recommend the spicy chicken shawarma, it was spicy with a sweet sauce drizzled on the outside. I read it's molasses's?? It was great paired together. Although it looks thin, it's very long and filling. They also have a hooka bar next to restaurant which I think is part of the same business. Amazing tasting food.

    Dama Grill- I LOVE you shawarma-ch! As someone who absolutely cannot be compelled to wait in the 2 hour line at Miya Miya, I was recommended Dama Grill as an alternative by several of my friends, and it's 100% worth the hype! I showed up a few minutes after opening, and there was no line + only a 20 minute wait to get my order, which in my opinion, is a win considering my shawarma was prepared fresh to order! I decided to try their chicken combo and spicy chicken shawarma wrap, and I was absolutely BLOWN away by both! The chicken combo featured thick, juicy and flavorful grilled chicken kebabs, pita bread, fries, and pickled vegetables and peppers (although I would probably order the rice combo next time). The shawarma wrap had a grilled, crispy exterior, juicy chicken shawarma slices, as well as one of the most delicious garlic-based aioli sauces I've had, and is a definite MUST-order in my book! Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the Culver City area (and come early, since I hear they sell out later in the day) for some of the BEST Mediterranean food I've had in west LA!

    One of the best chicken shawarma and xanders chicken wrap I've ever had! Perfectly smoky and love the seasonings! The red color is also a plus!! The chicken is juicy and not too fatty and they give you a decent amount. The staff is great! They are always filled with lines of people. But definitely worth the drive and the wait! Also great tip to always get some extra molasses and garlic sauce for each bite!

    wait times vary but dama grill never disappoints! Love the chicken shwarma wrap with a crisp bite and always juicy chicken. These fries are well seasoned and always a bit too abundant (and addictive!) order online if you can but it's worth the wait!

    Been dreaming about this wrap ever since we had it! There's not much to say other than this wrap was the best I've had. So much flavor! Fries were really good as well. We drove out to try DAMA GRILL and it was so worth it! Parking in the back, a few tables to sit inside. You order on the iPad at the counter and we got our food pretty quickly. Definitely coming back!

    The taste was okay, it was more tortilla and garlic sauce heavy rather than the chicken shawarma itself. The chicken tasted a bit dry as well. Always seen this place on social media so maybe I got it on an off day. Will give it another try again in the future to see if it's better.

    Really excited to try out Dama Grill. Parking is limited but they have several adjacent streets with parking available. I ordered a chicken shawarma combo with fries, garlic sauce, and pickled veggies. The shawarma was juicy, sauced well, and cut into bite size pieces. Wish it was more than just one bite per piece but I understand this is how it's usually made. The sauce was nice and garlicky, and the pickled veggies gave the shawarma a good kick of acidity. And the fries were fresh and crispy. Definitely a solid shawarma restaurant.

    The place is very nice, there are some spacious outdoor seating options as well as a few indoor seating options. The place was not that full at the time we went but it did take them quite a while to get our food out. I had a chicken wrap, a beef wrap and another spicy chicken wrap. All together it was about 50 dollars with no additional drinks or sides. All together it was three large wraps which was enough for two people. In my opinion a bit too expensive. The sauces were pretty good. I loved the creamy garlic. The beef wrap was my least favorite. The parsley and cucumber did add to the freshness but the meat felt too dry and not very flavorful. The chicken wrap was carried by the delicious sauces which made it much more juicy and flavorful. The spicy chicken one was also really good. I would definitely order that one again. The baklava was delicious too. The chicken wraps are definitely delicious but for the price and the long wait times I wouldn't make this my first choice. If you have the money and you have the time you are in for a delicious treat.

    "10/10 would get drunk off that pomegranate molasses"... god bless the syrians-- that's what my russian friend said.... and my chinese foreign exchange student friend? her eyes WIDENED. she suddenly stepped into the world of shawarma and now wants to go every single day. i get that mproud ego flush as an arab when i introduce BOMB middle eastern food (no pun intended). LOOK AT THE GARLIC DRIPPING FROM THE CHICKEN. and it's SOOOO HARD to come across pomogranite molasis SLATHER ME IN IT. and the chicken shawarma was so perfectly crisp, the PERFECT amount of sauce, and the BREAD was actually the flakey buttery texture. suddenly, buy me a plane ticket to Damascus, bc i never wanna leave this establishment. thank god i go to ucla pls never get me further than a 5 mile radius from dama grill YALLA YALLA LETS EAT HABIBIS!!!

    I've never seen such a horrible restaurant so overly hyped. This place is an embarrassment to Syrian food. I waited almost 30 minutes for ONE shawarma combo. Service is so slow, disorganized and customer interaction or rapport is nonexistent For almost $29, $19.69 to be exact, you would think there would be at least minimum effort put into the food. Nope. The only good thing about the combo plate were the fries and the crispy saj. That's it. Everything else was horrendous. The chicken was bland, dry, and not made like any half decent shawarma. The toum is full of mayo and so greasy and grossly wet. They "cut" the shawarma but don't even bother cutting it all the way so it becomes more of a mess when you try tearing apart the pieces and all the filling just squeezes out. They also forgot the pomegranate molasses. Seriously? I would never recommend this garbage

    Wow this place is sooo good!! It definitely lives up to the hype!! We tried the famous chicken shawarma wraps and it was delicious. I asked for extra pomegranate drizzle on the side and it paired so well with the garlic sauce and the wrap. The chicken was juicy and packed in there, and the crisp on the wrap was a nice touch. The fries were good too! You order on a kiosk and the wait was around 10-15 minutes since they make it to order. There's a few tables inside and outside to eat. The service is friendly and quick. Will definitely be back!

    I came here after hearing great things about Dama Grill from my friends, and I was so excited to try crispy shawarma. There is a parking lot in the back, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating here, pretty spacious. You order on a kiosk, and it took about ten minutes before we got our wraps. We sat inside to eat, and our wraps were delicious! I love the sauces they gave us too, one was toum and the other was a more sesame flavored (?). We got both the chicken and beef, but the beef won by far. It was juicy and flavored well!

    Looking for shawarma in the Palms area near Culver City? This is your spot! It's been years since the last time I had some tasty shawarma. The chicken is juicy and tender, just perfect for every bite! Both the chicken shawarma and the chicken kebab are delicious. Be sure to order some fries too. I also got the falafel plate that comes with six pieces, however I found these to be a bit dry for me; I wish they were juicy. Service can be slow, depending on how busy it is. My first time here, I had to wait for 45 minutes after placing my order. The place was popping! Then my second time here, they had already sold out. Needless to say, Dama is a popular and tasty place, so plan ahead.

    Where is the pomegranate molasses drizzle?

TLDR: Hear me out, if you have any doubt about chicken being less superior to beef or other meat. TRY the chicken thigh here. It makes justice for chickens (I still need to try their beef or lamb tho) I was running errands in Glendale today and I was starving and looking for lunch spots around. Turns out Mini Kabob was 3 mins walk away, it was a no brainer, my feet just took me there. Didn't expect to go there, so didn't order ahead but I'm fine with waiting. After last time's magnificent chicken thigh, I was determined to try their other entrees. However, Armen said the chicken thigh is the best seller out of their entrees- well, time for a round 2 I guess? This time I'm eating the entree at the spot and I just gotta say- IT SLAPS!! I'm genuinely not a big fan of chicken, because when you can choose beef why chicken? But this chicken is so juicy, so tender, so heavenly. Yummy!! The garlic sauce is great but the hummus and the fresh lavash, h o l y - f. Last time it was already so good even as a leftover, and eating it right at the spot is just transcending. I also tried their Armenian pear soda, it's delicious and refreshing with the heat right now in summer. I left with my tummy happy and their service is always great, they get busy but still no attitude, no bs, gives the right recommendations. Even this is like a take out restaurant, it still surpasses most of the kabob restaurant. Without doubt I'm coming back again after their break, please be there. I love you mini kabob

Once you're seated, they bring out a few complimentary side dishes (Kimchi, pickled carrot, seaweed, salad and their signature dry spice seasoning. Ordering is easy through the QR code menu. Depending on what you order, some skewers are grilled by the kitchen while others are cooked on the automatic rotating grill right at your table, which adds to the fun dining experience. This visit, I tried: * Lamb Kebab (10 pcs) * Mala Lamb Kebab (5 pcs) * Beef Kebab (10 pcs) * Beef Tendon (5 pcs) * Chicken Heart (5 pcs) * Chicken Gizzard (5 pcs) * Chicken Wings * Quail * Matsutake Mushroom * Green Chives * Cucumber * Eggplant * Pan Fried Bun with Pork & Vegetable The lamb kebab and quail remain my two must-order items after all these years. The lamb is tender and flavorful without having a strong gamey taste, making it a good option even for people who don't usually eat lamb. The mala lamb kebab simply adds a nice layer of numbing spice which I don't find it special. The beef kebab was good as well, although I personally prefer the lamb. Chicken hearts and gizzards were decent. The beef tendon wasn't my favorite this time and didn't seem as fresh. Chicken wings were solid and nicely seasoned. For vegetables, I actually enjoyed the cucumber more than the chives and eggplant. The matsutake mushroom was good, though not particularly memorable. If you're a fan of meat buns, don't skip the pan-fried pork and vegetable bun. The bun itself was soft and fluffy, and I especially enjoyed the savory sauce paired on the side. One helpful tip: after 6 PM, you can park for free in the bank parking lot across the street, which makes finding parking much easier. After more than 15 years, Feng Mao continues to be a reliable spot for skewers, especially if you're dining with friends and want to try a variety of grilled meats and vegetables.
