First impression- tbh the street is a bit sketch as a girl I'd probably only go during the day Parking- there's a small lot behind the place. Food- Got the 1 chicken and 1 beef. I think the beef was the better option here. In terms of size/portion, I'm a relatively small girl but I didn't really think it was filling. I typically go to Sincerely Syria for my shawarma so I was used to their portions. I will also say I thought it was pricey for the portion size. In terms of taste, it was honestly great but the pickles they gave us were very obviously canned and not the best. Dress code- very casual Overall- I would come again but I'd order probably 2 orders of the beef shawarma read more

Long wait times. Expected 30min-50min wait after ordering. The food was delicious. I especially like the beef. Juicy, and flavorful. A little pricey. read more

If you want authentic shawarma in Los Angeles, you've found the place. Went here on a Friday night with some friends and we ordered some chicken shawarma sandwiches. The staff warned us it would take 25 minutes. It was busy, but the food ended up taking almost 50 minutes to come out to us. However I will say, the food was excellent. Very authentic. From the chicken shawarma sandwich topped with pomegranate molasses and a side of garlic sauce. The fries were also a great side. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I wanted to try Dama Grill again as my first order was great. This time I tried the Chicken Wrap and it was very tasty. Love the Garlic sauce too. My only criticism is that the wrap is quite small and I could easily eat two of them. That being said I will stick with the Chicken plate in which i thoroughly enjoyed! read more

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

It was good, not worth all the inconveniences of the location, parking, wait times and iPad ordering with higher price points for something I can get at Zankou for a little less. But again, if you're local or in the area it's good, order ahead to avoid long wait times. One and done most likely. read more

The food for the most part is good although very oily and they usually have diarrhea after I eat it. As far as the atmosphere it's really two-sided inside where you get the food and drinks and there's a little area to sit is really Stark and very unpleasant as eating place outside however on the patio it's really nice. The worst part is the staff however. They have the worst system whereby your order is put up on to the counter and they call once your name when your order comes up but it's not even loud enough to hear outside where everybody waits for their food there are people who come by for pickups and they have to walk over to the counter and look through the bags that are there for their name of the customer. And several of the staff just stand right sort of in the kitchen not doing anything. It's unbelievable. I don't know why they don't have a better method to let people know where their stuff is. Most businesses who do a decent amount of pickup having to set up that allows for much quicker way of identifying whose food is whose. I have absolutely no feeling that anybody reads these reviews from the grill and cares or does anything about them. How sad read more

TINY DISGRACEFULLY small serving for $20, pictures are wildly deceiving and food is mediocre. maybe if you're a child and you're not that hungry you would be okay with this. But im furious I let these people rip me off. 12 inch wrap is a lie and a joke, but I don't find it funny. Straight pathetic and no one answers the phone. read more

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

Food was tasty enough but they forgot our 2 drinks on our takeout and when we tried to call them their mailbox was full.

Overhyped. Not sure why this apparently went "viral"? Ordered the beef shawarma wrap and it was hardly tasty. The wrap was stale, the beef was not seasoned. Food was not even warm? I thought the garlic sauce or pomegranate molasses would give it some oomph - but no. Still tasteless. Better yet, go to Spitz, Zankou, or Furnsaj! Also, the inside seating is right next to a bathroom so entire room smells like air freshener for poop. Not really ambiant for eating. I will say though, the service was very nice and polite :) read more

No flavor , very small portions, we tried both shawarma kinds and both were lacking flavor

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

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

If you're craving bold Middle Eastern flavors done right, Dama Grill is a must-visit. This spot has quickly become one of my favorite casual eats in LA -- and after one visit, you'll see why the hype is real. From the moment you walk in (or order ahead online), the fragrance of perfectly seasoned shawarma and sizzling kebabs hits you -- it's a preview of the flavor explosion to come. The chicken shawarma wrap is juicy, beautifully spiced, and balanced with tangy pickles and rich garlic sauce -- and let's be honest, that kiss of pomegranate molasses elevates it to something special. The crispy seasoned fries are the perfect sidekick (seriously some of the best I've had in the city). What stood out most was the genuine hospitality and consistent quality -- the staff is friendly, quick on the mark, and clearly passionate about the food. Whether you're dining in on the cozy patio or grabbing an order to go, every bite feels fresh and flavorful. The price point is incredibly reasonable for the quality and portion size you get here too. Yes -- it can be popular (and worth ordering ahead to skip any wait), but trust me: it's worth it. This isn't just another Instagram "food trend" -- it's the real deal shawarma and kebab destination that deserves a permanent spot on your L.A. rotation. Highly recommend for lunch, dinner, or a flavorful lunch break. Will definitely be back! 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

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

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

First time trying this type of wrap and sadly the chicken shawarma was super greasy. The garlic spread was kinda tasteless as were the fries. Don't get the hype ‍. Parking was easy and plenty of seating despite at least 3 people on the phone lol. read more

this place hits different! The shawarma is absolute fire -- super juicy and packed with flavor. Solid 10/10, no cap. Def coming back!

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

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

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

this is is ok. kinda disappointed in the wrap for the chicken combo plate. dry chicken & beef. fries were well seasoned & delicious. service was average. kiosk to order. avg ambiance. feels like it was designed by a boy 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

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

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

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

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

I really like it, the chicken shawarma is a must and you cannot leave without trying their French fries.

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

bad customer service smells like urine inside we stood in line for 20 mins only to be told they were sold out

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.

We got a chicken and beef! Our favorite was chicken, definitely felt it had more juice . overall it was really good definitely will come back for the chicken! service self but they help you out for first timers! read more
