Finally made it into the Sherman Oaks outpost of Sincerely Syria, a small chain of Shawarma…read morerestaurants in SoCal. I was pleasantly greeted by the owners, a friendly middle-aged couple who exude experience making this kind of street food from Damascus. It's a no frills venue with a good number of tables, clean bathrooms, and an array of Banksy prints lining the walls. The menu is small. You could even say it's micro, with just 3 items: Chicken Shawarma, a combination Beef/Lamb Shawarma, and Falafel. These are served in wraps of 2 different sizes or on a "platter" that is really a wrap sliced into pieces (like a sushi roll) and presented with French Fries. Canned sodas are available, along with a small selection of desserts and Middle-Eastern Pickles. I chose the Beef/Lamb Shawarma Wrap, and opted for the 6" size, which was plenty of food for lunch. The flatbread is lined with the meat, then adorned with tomatoes, onions, fresh parsley and Tahini. Finally, they warm the wrap on the flattop, which gives a nice crisp to the outside of the bread while further warming the fillings. The result is a nicely heated Syrian sandwich that's full of flavor and very satisfying. The tahini is creamy, with a touch of grit from the ground sesame that adds a pleasing texture to the chew. The meat is tasty and tender, having been marinated in a blend of Mediterranean seasonings before being slow-cooked on the upright spit, which leaves the meat charred on the outside, juicy on the inside. I love an extra pop of heat on wraps like these, and the house hot sauce did not disappoint. It took just a drop of the fiery relish to add a serious jolt to the bite, and I really appreciated the way it elevated the experience. Pickles were appropriately flavored, but very mild; I'd prefer them to have a more aggressive flavor profile, but this is just a minor complaint. So yes, Sincerely Syria is serving top notch, very satisfying Shawarma, and I look forward to heading back in before too long to try the chicken or Falafel, and to seeing this lovely couple again. They're nice people, so you can feel very good about giving them your support.

Enjoy a meal on the patio as well as inside, which is warm and cozy. Bollywood Indian Restaurant is located on Ventura Blvd between Van Nuys Blvd and Beverly Glen Blvd (which also turns into Tyrone Avenue when heading northbound). Easy street parking or a little bit of luck in the rear at their back parkign lot (very small and limited). It's rarely overly busy here, but often well kept with great deep warm decor and perfect lighting. Service is demure, charming and efficient. Everything coming out in a more than timely manner, very much the same with takeout or UberEats and other third party services they partner with. Channa Bhunna, Chana Masala, Aloo Gobi, Aloo Matar and the other Veggie Curries are so savory good! Thoughtful Beverage options, Condiments, Naan, Tandoori, Appetizers, Soups & Salads, Specials and more. Open until 1am making is cool for a late night bite as well.

I've brought plenty of friends over the years, and every single one of them has said the same thing after their first visit: this place is legit. Anytime I try Mediterranean food in a similar price range, I find myself comparing it back to Pita Kitchen and honestly, it's hard to beat. My go to is the steak plate with Greek salad perfectly grilled, flavorful, and always fresh. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Pro tip: eat it there, right when it comes out. That's when it truly hits different. In a time where a lot of restaurants lose their edge or disappear altogether, I'm genuinely glad Pita Kitchen is still here and still delivering. A true staple. - Ian Lantz

I ordered the double cheeseburger, and it was absolutely delicious. The burger was packed with flavor, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the buns were soft, fluffy, and airy. The patties weren't smash burgers and were on the thinner side, but they were still juicy and satisfying. My husband ordered the BBQ burger, and he really enjoyed his as well. For our side, we shared the loaded tots. They were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great addition to the meal. Service was good overall. The cashier seemed a little serious at first and didn't really greet us, but when we asked to swap out a drink, she was very accommodating and didn't charge us extra. There was a small misunderstanding when I asked about side options, but she quickly explained that another table had the menu and went to grab one for us. She was friendly and helpful throughout the rest of the interaction. The restaurant was clean, which I always appreciate. The atmosphere could use a little improvement, though. It felt a bit stuffy inside, two of the three menu screens weren't working, and it was very quiet with no music playing, which made the dining room feel a little empty. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight and I'd come back for the burgers and loaded tots.

Ventured into Hi Ho at the height of Friday dinner time, when the whole Sportsmen's Lodge shopping…read more& dining nook was packed with people, including at least 75 kids under the age of 6. Yowza! Luckily, Hi Ho wasn't quite as busy as the pizza and ice cream shops, but there were still quite a few folks, and the staff did manage to tend to everyone nicely. If you haven't been, Hi Ho is a simple, fast food burger joint in terms of decor, but the menu (from the same people who own Matu) is a small, curated selection of very high quality options: mostly Wagyu burgers in a few different configurations, and chicken tenders + some very good, hand cut fries. This time I opted for the Pastrami Heat, a double cheeseburger fortified with spicy grilled onions and a not-too-large topper of Wagyu pastrami. I don't usually go for such an elaborate burger, but I just had a hankering. And while I won't say the burger was small, it was not as ridiculously enormous as you might get other places. The double patties were juicy and flavorful, nicely seasoned and coated in properly melted American cheese. The spicy grilled onions did pack a nice punch, but there weren't a lot of them, so their effect was minimal (definitely could use more of those). House-made pickles were pleasingly artisan, with a layered, briny flavor far more enjoyable than the commercial dill chips usually deployed. Finally, the Wagyu pastrami was really quite good. Marbled and juicy without be too fatty or too rich, thinly shaved and portioned just large enough to make its presence known without becoming unwelcome halfway through. Though decadent for sure, this was an enjoyable treat that was only about 50% guilt-inducing. Fries were fresh, hot, crispy and well done, cooked in beef tallow. Also a treat. Prices are in line with what you're paying at other fast casual burger places like Five Guys or Burger Lounge, but the quality here is definitely a step above, so you could almost say it's a deal. Of course, if you also stop into neighboring Erewhon for a smoothie, your budget will be blown.

UPDATE: (in response to owner since I cannot respond) No one put me up to this, it's an honest review. I ordered through Uber Eats so fixing the order wasn't an option. The fire starter is the Chipotle Aioli you seem to put on all your dishes (at least the items on my order.) this was not requested but is an ingredient included. Instead of a having a helpful response I get a very sarcastic tone from you. Was hoping for an overall better experience.
