They don't cross check orders when you use Door Dash. Although the food is good the staff is lazy and often forget items you ordered. When you try to call them for a refund no one answers and it goes straight to a voice mail. This has happened many times with them and it's the job of Dama Grill to make sure everything in the order is there before the driver leaves the restaurant. Unacceptable and I will not be going back or ordering from there. There are plenty of other Mediterranean restaurants nearby that are just as good or better and provide amazing service. read more

Great product, but be prepared to wait a while if they are busy. I wish the chicken shawarma wrap combo was offered on their online ordering system, for some reason it's not available on there? Last time I went there it was very busy and the people making the food didn't seem to have much urgency in preparing it, they also seemed very stressed out and unhappy. Maybe they are overworked? Despite all of this, they have an amazing product, it's absolutely delicious, I love the chicken shawarma wrap and they're fries are so good and crispy. read more

Came here with my friends to try a good crispy chicken shawarma wrap, and boy it was so amazing! The mix of flavors like the pomegranate molasses and garlic sauce alongside the shawarma were so perfect. This is easily the best shawarma I've ever had, alongside Mia Mia. If you're in the area you should stop by and pick up some food because it will not disappoint you like Ara's shawarma disappointed us before coming here. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Dama Grill - Chicken Wrap Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Chicken kabob wrap was good with the garlic and molasses sauces but very messy. Beef schwarma was nasty to be honest we threw it away. You order on an iPad and there's really no service plus it takes a while to get your food. I am not sure if I'll return. read more

We placed a large lunch order for 12 people and they canceled the order without any notice. On top of that they won't answer their phone when we tried to place the order again. Never ordering from this place again. Terrible read more

Dama has their own unique take on kebabs and wraps. The flavor is fantastic throughout - it's not too heavy - and the meat cooked perfectly. Highly recommend for a lunch stop or quick bite when in the area. read more

Came out because my wife and her friends were craving shawarma and we had heard good things about this place. We went in planning to order the beef and chicken special, but quickly found out the printed menu didn't match the tablet menu. There was no sign or notice about this, so we had to change our order on the spot. We ended up ordering two chicken shawarmas, two beef shawarmas, two orders of fries, and a single order of falafel. Our food came out in waves, and our shawarmas were completely skipped. After driving 45 minutes, paying $91.26, and waiting over an hour, I noticed our order had been skipped. I had to bring this to their attention. When we were finally served, they offered an extra order of fries as compensation, which we declined. Unfortunately, both the beef and chicken were dry. The chicken did have some flavor, but without the sauce, the food would have been hard to eat. To make matters worse, the bathrooms were dirty. Overall, very disappointing experience given the time, cost, and expectations. read more

Food's really good, the service is extremely slow. I ordered two wraps and it took over 45-minutes. Not sure if it's worth the wait.

I would have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the 45 minute wait time lack of any service and items on the menu that you weren't able to order. It's a very small facility, but boy is it popular and I totally get why, becuase the food is out of this world. It took us a little over an hour to get there since we braved the drive in from the valley. We got there around 7:40, and placed our order at 7:45. When I say placed out order, I mean through a self service kiosk as there isn't an actual register. They have a TV menu that we looked at and knew what we wanted, but then we got to the front of the line and the kiosk didn't have most of the items that were showing on the TV menu. Part of this is because they ran out of the beef, but I don't know about the other reason why some of the chicken dishes weren't on the menu. We were #192 and they started calling 186 so I thought we were good until we noticed they were jumping around on the numbers, so after a while we realized that anyone ordering the Shawarma was still waiting alongside us. When I say 45 minute wait, I mean exactly 45 minutes because we counted the time. It's hard to sit there when it smells so amazing and wait that long. Anyway, we ordered 2 chicken shawarma combos at $17.99 each. The combo comes with olive, pickles, pepperoncinis, garlic dip, freench fries and the wrap cut in in 12 pieces. I was worried about the pomegranate molasses but let me just say WOWWWWWW. The food is unlike anything I have had before, there's not denying it is a masterpiece, and I was just so upset it was sooo good cause now I want to go back again but it was just too far and too long of a wait. Thankfully there was a free parking in the back so that was a plus. There's seating inside and outside but it is first come first serve and there were tables with no chairs, or people were bringing chairs in from the outside seating to seat inside so it was all very disorganized in that sense. We ended up eating in the car cause it was just so loud in there and it was hard to stay there after already spending 45 minutes waiting with so many people around. When we go back we will absolutely order ahead through either doordash, grubhub ir postmastes as there is no fee. We wanted to do that initially but since we looked up the TV menu and then saw the menu on the ordering apps we didn't see what we wanted so we just went in. Now that we have first hand experience and understanding, we will work smarter on our next visit. For all intents and purposes, come and try this delicious food! read more

We keep returning to this place many times because food are so good. Staffs are nice although this is a self-serve place. The restaurant is small, but still have decent tables and chairs for groups or families. read more

Shawarma was good! Really enjoyed the touch of pomegranate molasses in it. The place was packed. I wish they had the smaller versions as well which comes in a pita bread instead of the thinner saj bread. The garlic sauce was tasty. One of the better shawarmas I have had in the US Hope it stays this consistent read more

Drove about 1.5 hrs to try the viral crispy chicken shawarma. Love the entire concept of it but the shawarma itself tasted like propane. Horrendous taste. The garlic sauce , hot sauce , and pomegranate molasses saved it from being a 1 star review. Unfortunately will not be returning read more

Dama Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Although the food might be 5 stars, I can't give it 5 stars. The wait times are RIDICULOUS. if you know you're so popular, why can't you hire more people or do something about the wait times. As the chicken is already made, I'm not sure why a wrap takes 45 minutes to make besides too many orders and not enough staff. I've tried to even order for delivery and even there they close it down because it's too busy. But chicken is really tender and the garlic sauce they put on it gives it so much flavor! read more

This place is amazing. As a Syrian-American, I can confirm that the shawarma is actually authentic and is very similar to the shawarma you would get at a shop in Damascus. I highly recommend the spicy chicken shawarma and the falafel, both are great. The fries are nice and crispy, and the pomegranate molasses complements the sandwich in such a great way. The ordering process can be a bit strange since you order on a tablet yourself, which I'm not a big fan of, but I can see the appeal to some people. For constructive criticism, I think the garlic sauce can be improved, as it has too slight a garlic taste and is a bit bland. Overall, 9/10 food and experience! read more

There's limited parking in the back or street parking. If parking in the back you can walk through the store to get to the front where the restaurant is located. We came here on a weekday a little before 530pm. After we ordered the line to order was growing. There's limited tables as well. Be patience, they take some time making the food. We ordered Beef Kofta and Chicken Wrap. Both were delicious and flavored!!!! Especially dipping it in garlic sauce. Yum! We will definitely be back! read more

I ordered 4 wraps and a side with falafels additional hot sauce and pickles. When the nice lady called the name for the order it was missing just the hot sauce and pickles THAT I ORDERED ON SELF SERVE register. She went to the back and grabbed them but the guy in the back got irritated and asked me "what else do you need man". I didnt pay any attention to it until I simply ask the lady for a cup of water for my girl and got more attitude from guys in the back asking what did I want. What I find more hilarious is that i was only interacted very minimal, no additions to my order (besides the cup of water), but the guys in the back are getting upset. I really enjoyed the food but not the experience sadly. Will never go back again - very rude BOH. read more

Dama Grill - Chicken Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The taste is very delicious, and it feels like you're eating it in the heart of Syria. An authentic and wonderful experience.

The wraps are juicy and full of flavor. First time I went here, it wasn't too busy and was able to get the food quick. But, this time I went with a friend his order took 50 mins where as mine took 15. It seemed busy that day but it is crazy how my friend who ordered before me got his food so late. Hopefully they can become more consistent. read more

Dama Grill - Chicken shawarma with crispy fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Living in NorCal after 20+ years in SoCal, I have yet to experience a legit shawarma place! Nothing has changed. Today on our way back to NorCal after spending some time in SoCal, we discovered "Dama Grill" in Culver City. Absolutely amazing food! The falafel was fried to perfection with a smooth and tender center. Perfectly spiced and not overpowered by cumin which a lot of ( amateurs) do. The beef shawarma was probably the best I've ever had! No joke, tender, packed with flavor and seasoned just right. The chicken is no different, and arguably even more delicious than the beef. Ordering is through a self service iPad. Each shawarma wrap is customized to your liking with options like extra pickled vegetables, hot sauce, and more! The place as I understand it, is Syrian owned and operated. Makes sense, since Syrians are considered some of the best cooks in the Middle East. Prices are reasonable me. And service is polite and accommodating. I will definitely make this a regular stop with the family from now on when I visit SoCal. read more

There is no one at the counter you order on a screen, and the line moved incredibly slowly. The food took forever to come out, and the staff didn't seem to care much about the wait. There's no parking, and the food is expensive. read more

5 Stars - Flavor Explosion at Dama Grill! If you're searching for flavor that hits like a freight train--in the best way possible--look no further than Dama Grill. This place is a hidden gem that serves up serious taste with every bite. I ordered the chicken wrap and beef wrap combo with fries, and let me tell you--this is how wraps are supposed to taste. I went all in with extra pickles and extra garlic, and that combo took it to the next level. The chicken wrap stole the show with its bold, juicy flavor, but the beef wrap held its own--rich, savory, and packed with spices. The fries? Golden, crispy perfection. But honestly, the star here is the seasoning and love they put into every dish. You can taste that this is a family-owned spot--from the warmth of the staff to the way they pile the flavor into every wrap. Great food, kind people, and a local business worth supporting. I'll definitely be back... probably sooner than I should. read more

I drove an hour (one way) to try a chicken shawarma from Dama Grill the other day, and I'm very happy that I did because it was one of the best chicken shawarmas I've ever tasted in my life! I ordered a chicken shawarma combo which included the chicken wrap, fries, garlic spread, pomegranate sauce, a combination of pickles and chili peppers, and a soda can. From my very first bite I was amazed! Inside the wrap, the chicken shawarma is juicy and seasoned wonderfully, and with both the garlic spread and pomegranate sauce together place this wrap over the top! Even the wrap itself is prepared excellent, it was crunchy and crispy. It was so good that I had to buy another one to go! The employees were very nice, and assisted me in ordering since it was my first time there. This establishment is a fast food place and looks a little worn down, although there is ample tables and seats both inside and outside of the property for you to dine. Personally, Dama Grill could work on making the restaurant look a little more appealing, but if the quality and taste of the food continues in the way I experienced it the other day, I'm willing to look passed the ambiance. What the atmosphere lacks, is definitely a minor detail in comparison to the food served. I am a fan of Dama Grill and I look forward to the next time I'm in the mood for a good shawarma so that I can dine there again. read more

Food is good, but what was really frustrating is that it took over an hour to get our food maybe an hour and a half. Turns out they gave our food to another customer. Then we had to wait another 30 minutes. This place got a lot of hype on social media and it is apparent that they're struggling to keep up with the demand. read more

Truly disappointed in this place. I have tried to eat here twice and the first time they were so busy it was a 40min wait for the chicken shawarma. Valid! Love that it's busy for them. However, this second time, I placed an order TWO HOURS in advance via Postmates to have it ready by 6:30p-7p. I have my order pulled up on my phone at 6:22p, as I am pulling up, and it says it'll be ready by 6:30p. I walk up to the worker, give her my name, and she says they don't have my order. Immediately I think, am I at the wrong location? Naturally I pull out my phone, open Postmates, and it says my order is cancelled. She then proceeds to lie and says that my order was cancelled the moment it was placed. Again, I'm happy they are busy but I will not be coming back. I would've been fine with them just cancelling it but to lie to my face is insane, especially when I had the order pulled up not even 10min prior. read more

Not Worth the Hype My husband and I drove from Burbank on a Friday night just to try this shawarma spot, and unfortunately, we were really disappointed. We ordered the beef shawarma wrap (extra pickles) and a side of fries. We waited about 45 minutes, which we didn't mind at first -- we figured the food must be great if it's that busy. When the fries finally came out, they had clearly been sitting on the counter for a while -- cold, hard, and flavorless. Seasoned fries should be warm and fresh, but these tasted like something frozen and reheated. We were still excited to try the wraps, but as soon as my husband opened the bag, and took a bite, I could tell from his face it wasn't good. The beef was dry and completely tasteless, with no spices, no juiciness, and no flavor at all. It was just plain beef with a ton of onions and cilantro. We asked for pomegranate sauce, which helped a little, but it still didn't fix how dry it was. I eventually tried adding garlic sauce, and while that made it slightly better, it was too late -- the wrap just wasn't enjoyable. The seating situation didn't help either. There's nowhere to sit inside, it's cramped, and the place is wedged between a smelly international store and a laundromat. To top it off, service was minimal, and we noticed an older man walking in and out of the kitchen wearing the same gloves, touching things outside, and then going back to assemble food without changing them -- not a good look for cleanliness. Overall, this place is not worth the 5-star reviews. The food was dry, flavorless, and poorly handled. We left disappointed and won't be coming back. read more

Dama Grill - Shawarma Chicken Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dana Grill hit the spot! Ive been wanting to try this place for a while seeing it trend on tiktok! I tried the chicken shawarma wrap and it was fresh, flavorful, and generously packed. The sauce has amazing flavor, but heads up - it's a little spicy, wish I could customize that. Still, the combo of tender chicken and that sauce made it really worth it. The fries had a great seasoning and crunch as well! Definitely a solid spot if you're craving shawarma with a kick! read more

Just wated to reiterate how amazing this Syrian shawarma is. The gentleman that runs this joint is such a kind hearted man. His smile is contagious and he puts love into the craft. I've had the pleasure of seeing this establishment grow and become what it is today. Although I loved Sahelnom I think the western diners will be able to pronounce Dama easier. A must try! Great spot for dining in as well, they have great seating area. Parking is easy too! read more

Dama Grill - The plate, the wrap, and six piece falafel singles - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Since Dama Grill was close to where I was staying, I thought I'd try some Syrian food for a change. I ordered the chicken wrap, which took about 25 minutes to make. Seemed like along time for a wrap...but when I tasted it the blend of flavors and spices was like nothing I've had before. Several reviews mention this and it's true. It was messy to eat but worth it. The kitchen staff hustles but the experience would be much nicer if they spruced up the dining areas, both indoor and outdoor. A deep cleaning would be a good place to start. I'm not a neat freak. I just prefer my shoes not sticking to the floor. read more

Delicious shawarma and fries. def need to come back to try out items on the menu! The service was fast even with a line out the door.

Amazing service and food! Really friendly and helpful when ordering for the first time! Will definitely come back! :)

The chicken kebab wrap HITS! The pomegranate molasses is so genius. The wrap is an insane savory bite with a touch of sweetness that just... so good. Very unique, I've never had anything like that. Plus, the prices in this economy?! It's not a huge wrap, but it's got a good amount of meat in it and is filling enough. Restaurant had nice, clean seating and I parked in the market parking lot (not sure if I'm supposed to or not?) I'll definitely be back. read more

Fresh shawarma. Yummy. I get with extra pommegrsnate molasses and pickles. Fries very crispy and well seasoned Had the chicken will be back for the other! A little expensive but 100% authentic. It was very busy as well took over 30 min for 2 wraps. Stop by the Turkish market next door too! read more

Really good shawarma stopped by Dama Grill and tried their shawarma. The meat was juicy, well seasoned, and grilled perfectly with that slight crisp on the edges. You can tell it's marinated properly the flavor goes deep, not just on the outside. The wrap itself was fresh and warm, not dry or falling apart. The garlic cause tastes amazing, and the toppings were balanced not overloaded, not skimpy. Everything just worked together. If you're craving legit shawarma that actually tastes authentic and not bland, Dama Grill is definitely worth it. I'll be going back. read more

Food is really good! Ive had their Chicken wrap Chicken shawarma wrap Beef Kofta wrap Now I've always had to wait 30 mins every time. They might also prioritize Dine in as today I noticed 4 people who ordered after me got their food first. They were all almost done by the time I got my chicken wrap. So give yourself some time, or order pick up through grub hub which is what I'm going to do from now on. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Culver City - but something has to be done about the wait time. No urgency from staff - and it seems as though they're training newbies without support during rushes, Maybe that's the quality that makes it so good - but I feel like downtime could be used to prep 10-20 wraps in prep of orders. The menu is like 5 items. And with an autonomous order system - I think the front of house dude could be helping make food. Their wait is so bad they've turned off mobile orders to try anc pre order in advance! I can't return until they either raise their price dramatically or raise their urgency or raise their scale. read more
