    Beef Shawarma Wrap
    Linda E.

    Late night eat.... Calls for shawarma. Found this gem on Yelp. A little shack on the street of Ventura in front of a CVS parking lot is Rusty's Shawarma Shack. My husband and I ordered the beef shawarma wrap with added garlic and spicy truffle sauce. They come individually wrapped and can I just say that I was pleasantly surprised with the way it is wrapped very tight and clean. The wrap itself has juicy beef with sauce and veggies inside which all come together really well. Every bite that I took was delicious and overall it was not very messy, which is also a plus when you're eating in the car. The wrap itself is crispy and light. The service was professional. The cashier was friendly and offered dessert, banana pudding. I am not sure if they make it in house or if it's just sold but it was okay. Wished it had more of a banana taste. But back to the shawarma, if you're craving shawarma. Goooo there. It won't disappoint.

    Definitely found my shawarma spot in the Valley! The food is amazing. Food tastes great, amazing portion and fresh. It was my first time eating from here and the guys working made sure to take their time helping me out. They are very professional and have great customer service and patience. The food truck/trailer is very clean and organized. The area they are parked is very clean. The wait time was very reasonable. I waited approximately 15-20 minutes. There is plenty of street parking and a large shopping center nearby you can park. There is no place for you to sit to eat, but that doesn't bother me. Use your car or simply pickup to go. They also deliver using Uber Eats. I highly recommend giving them a try!!

    Ordered the chicken shawarma wrap bogo as my first time trying it. The wraps were much smaller than what is pictured on here and their social media. This is an assumption but it feels like one wrap was split into two. The flavor was off due to excessive amounts of parsley compared to chicken. I will try it again without the bogo deal but I would be very disappointed paying $20 for one of these wraps. It's at best a $10-12 wrap with the amount of chicken.

    This place is amazing! There is a reason to have five star rating. I've ate here twice now and both times the food has been great! You can taste the quality and freshness of ingredients and the portion is generous. Might go to order is beef Shawarma with truffle spicy sauce. It's not too much truffle tase just the right amount.

    The portions are great very happy about that. The chicken shawarma wrap tastes so good! The fries are also very good not too salty. The service was great aswell. Only complaint is that the shawarma itself it's a bit bland and they put too much cilantro. Besides that this place is awesome !

    Food truck parked outside Skinny's lounge in Noho. Quite expensive for a shawarma wrap but I get. We got the OG chicken wrap and the truffle. The OG was pretty tasty, but to be honest I couldn't taste the truffle in the Truffle wrap. Felt like it needed more special sauce. It was overall good and satisfying and the owners were really friendly.

They serve omelettes, sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, pastas, grilled salmon and PERFECT individual pizzas (that are still large enough to share). Even though you order at the register and the wait staff delivers to your table, the service is outstanding (even to your doggies!). Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful and attentive. The garden atmosphere is lovely. You dine under a trellis of fairy lights and bougainvillea. And on certain evenings and lunch times, they have wonderful musicians provide soft background music. They also have an interior space which is nice as well (and air conditioned), but the real charm is the garden, where my maltipoo, Bella, is always spoiled (she especially loves the fries). Parking can be challenging, so, I recommend going just before or just after the breakfast, lunch or dinner rush. I live in the neighborhood, but I have friends who drive from DTLA, Hollywood , West L.A. and even farther away to meet me there just for coffee (try the Vanilla Latte - yum), a lavender lemonade or a glass of wine and a plate of chicken wings (cooled in different styles). The owners and their family work there, too, and always make me, my dog and my friends feel so welcomed and special. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Other orders, flatbread pizza, a breakfast burrito, and eggs Benedict. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Price point was in line with other restaurants. They serve beer and wine, and mimosas. Clean bathrooms. We definitely will be back. Sorry no pictures of the actual restaurant. Plenty pics of the delicious food!!!

Honestly I should have taken my tip right back out of their jar, don't know why they ask for a tip if they don't offer any additional service besides handing a bag over. I think worst of all, the young lady at the cash register offered NOTHING to make it right.

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.

I picked up a few items tonight, and one item missed the mark. * The Bad -- Hard Rice: The pickled pear baked salmon onigiri had a tough, dry texture. * Food : The package label showed the rice ball was already three days old. * High Price: It cost nearly $7 for stale food that I could not finish. Their prices are high. Head to the Valley's Japanese grocery store like Mitsuwa in Northridge for sushi or a Korean grocery store like Greenland Market in Van Nuys for prepared food made the same day at lower prices. The Good: * The spam musubi was made the same day and tasted fresh. * The butter mochi was delicious. Final Thoughts: I expected fresh food made that morning. Selling three-day-old rice balls at this price is unacceptable. I will not return because they sell items past their prime. I would not buy their sushi based on my experience as it might be old as well.
