It was suggested by the owner of Velvet to try the chicken wrap…read more Not a huge menu but what they have is flavorful. I ordered the 12" plate. It came with chicken wrap, French fries, "pickles" and garlic spread. I didn't try any extra garlic sauce. The wrap was tasty. I think some of the pickles were chopped up in the sauce? There was a crunch to the wrap. Oddly enough, I really liked the fries. My order was ready pretty quickly. By the time I took a few pictures it was ready. There was no one in line in front of me so my plate was prepared fresh. Walking by after eating at Velvet it was pretty busy inside and out. Inside was clean and very minimal table decor. Service was efficient but no friendly and welcoming vibe. I lowkey felt like Seinfeld Soup Nazi. Like I just politely ordered and moved on. I didn't want to ask too many questions afraid I would get "No shawarma for you."

The restaurant is never that busy, but don't let that fool you, because every time I've passed by, it's mostly people grabbing takeout. Their menu is very limited. I got the beef-lamb shawarma. For 6 inches, it's not a ton of food but it's a fair amount. There was a good amount of beef and lamb which was cooked really tender, and I liked the combination of sauce and vegetables they used. The taste wasn't overwhelming and I don't think it needed anything additional. They even have Sriracha sauce on the side which I used and it added a nice flavor kick. Definitely will be back when I want something small, good value and convenient.

Lol I guess I'm an outsider here but that was odd. I came in on a weekday evening and ordered some takeout which was prepared reasonably quickly and the flavors were fantastic!

If I were totally budget unconstrained I would love to bring a big group here and really enjoy the full menu. However, if you sit in the restaurant too long you will absolutely be second hand smoking. My eyes were watering after about 10-15 minutes--or perhaps the kebabs made me emotional!

I did this as a pickup run with the spot right next door, Brot. And honestly... I liked Brot more. This place has always been weird to me because I walk past it almost daily. Sometimes it's kinda busy, and sometimes it's literally just four dudes standing outside smoking cigarettes. There's never really an in-between. They also keep adding more sidewalk tables which makes it feel like they're expecting a crowd that never fully arrives. This is definitely more street-food energy than restaurant energy. You're basically eating with your hands outside on Hollywood Blvd and there's nowhere to wash up beforehand, which honestly matters less if you're doing takeout anyway. I also kinda wonder if the neighboring spots share stuff with each other because some things looked suspiciously similar. The fries looked basically identical between here and Brot, so who knows. That said, the food was still hot by the time I got home, which already puts it above a lot of pickup spots around here. But yeah... overall I still liked Brot more.

I sandwich needs more chicken to balance out the flavor and give it more substance. I also ordered the beef skewers and they were definitely below average. It was flavorless and very disappointing.

This was my first time there, and the owners were incredibly nice and welcoming. They were genuinely excited to hear that it was my first visit and took the time to give me some great recommendations. You can really feel that this is a family run business where they care about both the food and their customers. Everything we tried was delicious, but the Mannaish with cheese & soujouk was definitely a standout, so flavorful and tasty! The stuffed cheese Mannaish was also fantastic. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and you can tell they put a lot of care into what they make. It's always nice to find a place where the food is great AND the people are genuinely warm and welcoming. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu. Thank you to the owners for such a great first experience! Definitely a place I'd recommend.

We tried the stuffed cheese zaatar (the cheese pull is completely unreal), the mozzarella cheese flatbread, and the soujouk khachapuri. Every single item was incredible. What really sets this restaurant apart is the hospitality. The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating. Chef Hassan actually came out to personally serve us and chat for a bit. He told us that if he wouldn't eat it himself, he wouldn't serve it to his guests. You can tell he pours his heart into this place and truly stands by the neon motto glowing on his wall: "One Bite & Your Hooked For Life." It was incredibly kind of him to take the time to speak with us. Highly recommend!

The bakery and restaurant share the same parking lot as Trader Joe's and I had no issue finding an available parking spot on Saturday afternoon. [Atmosphere & service]: There is a mural with two people baking saj bread and there are about half a dozen tables for in-person dining. I placed an in-person order and unfortunately the service was very slow. I eventually got my order after waiting close to 15 minutes despite the lack of customers. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Chicken Shawarma, Beef Shawarma, and Spinach Pie. They also have a display case of various baked items. Other items they sell here include Mediterranean specialty pizzas, plates (e.g. lamb gyro), Mediterranean breakfast, and flatbreads. *** Beef Shawarma Wrap (Beef, spread of hummus, fresh tomatoes, onions, and tahini sauce rolled and pressed to a crunchy toast - $18.00): The order came with two wraps. The filling was gooey and messy, but it had a very distinct flavor profile. Not too bad at all. Mini Spinach Pie (Raw spinach mixed with diced onion and sumac herb - 1 piece $2.00): It was not my cup of tea as it tasted very sour. *** A solid 3.5-star for the wrap, but bumped down due to inefficient service.

The waiter was friendly, placed a basket of pita bread for the table and helped describe some of the Lebanese dishes for me. Ordered an iced tea, fries and a chicken wrap. Went inside of the restaurant to use the restroom and on my way I saw the amazing desserts station, vintage serving trays & gold coffee pots, some classic framed photos of Lebanon on the walls, the kitchen and the indoor dining area.
