    12" Beef Wrap
    Jonnie N.

    Trying Suncerely Syria for the first time because that 12" wrap looked too good to pass up -- and it absolutely delivered. The beef-lamb combo is fragrant, juicy, smoky, and incredibly tender. While the wrap leans toward the pricier side, the portion is substantial and packed mostly with protein, so it feels worth it. The sauce ties everything together beautifully -- creamy, garlicky, tangy, with just a slight bitter finish that rounds out the flavor profile and keeps it balanced rather than heavy. Next time, I'm going for the plate. The portion looks even more generous, and it's actually a better value since fries are included. Always a good sign when you're already planning your next order.

    The absolute best! Seriously it never disappoints! I got the 24" shawarma plate and ate half for dinner and saved the rest for lunch. If you want authentic shawarma this right here is 10000/10. The employees are so kind and hospitable...truly some of the kindest people I've ever come across. Making the food even more good. Can't wait to come back for more deliciousness!!

    12" Beef Plate

    I'd seen Sincerely Syria across the street from the parking lot on the corner of Fair Oaks and Green, and wanted to try it. I ordered the 12" beef plate which came with cut pieces of beef shawarma wrap, French fries, pickles and tahini. The French fries were very hot and crispy with a nice color and very good potato flavor. The beef wrap was pretty good but pretty oily. In fact the oil was dripping out of the wrap to the point where it was a bit unappetizing for me. Others might find it to be "juicy" but to me it was just oily. The beef tasted a little gamey, but not in an unpleasant way like the oiliness. Perhaps, I'd do much better with a chicken wrap the next time I'm there. However, Father Nature Lavash wraps is just a block away and they have excellent chicken shawarma wraps. That is why I opted to try the beef at Sincerely Syria.

    No frills, no nonsense, just some incredible chicken (I'm sure the beef is great too). I had the chicken wrap, which is one of practically only two menu items. Prices are very reasonable for how much meat you get. There's really not much else to say other than you need to try this place if you are a shawarma fan. I'll be back very soon!

    6" chicken wrap

    6" chicken wrap dine in for ~$9. Good garlic flavor and nicely charred chicken. Came with cold yogurt on the side. Cute little shop, no restrooms. Place your order at the window on the back. Fast preparation and nice booths.

    Recently tried Sincerely Syria in Old Town Pasadena with my parents--and it exceeded expectations. I grew up in Syria and have spent 20+ years in the U.S., and I've been chasing that authentic chicken shawarma ever since. Most places don't quite get it right. This one does. If you're used to the Americanized version, it may taste a little different--but this is what real Syrian shawarma tastes like: well-balanced, flavorful, and not overly heavy. The ambiance is simple and unfussy, but it adds to the charm--Arabic music playing on the TV, a cozy booth setup, and warm wood tones that give it a casual, homey feel. My parents struck up a conversation in Arabic with the owner, which led to such a warm, generous moment--he offered us drinks and a beef shawarma on the house. I didn't try the beef, but they loved it. Portions are generous (easily shareable), and every bite was on point. Between the food and the genuine Syrian hospitality, this place stands out. Will absolutely be back.

    Dry chicken.

    5 Stars friendly lady. 3 Stars for the food. Chicken was very dry & chewy. Bread was not fresh. Hummus was cold.

    Had heard great things about Sincerely Syria so was excited they opened a location in Old Town. Walked in on a Friday afternoon only to see the restaurant empty. Not totally surprising since it was in between the lunch and dinner rush. Walked to the back of the restaurant where you will find only 1 man taking orders and making the food. We ordered the beef-lamb wrap and a chicken plate. The beef-lamb wrap was pretty good and didn't have a strong gamey smell. Did enjoy the crispy pita like wrap but was disappointed the beef was cold. I did notice the man trying to ignite the döner so perhaps the beef isn't a popular item? The chicken wrap was good and the fries were well seasoned. Did enjoy the garlic spread but still think Zankou's garlic dip is still the best. May head back but honestly I think I'd rather head to Father's Nature if craving a shawarma.

    Well that was that

It's a small little spot right along the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a simple menu that makes ordering quick and easy. I ordered the 6-inch chicken shawarma wrap with garlic sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The food came out fast, everything tasted fresh, and sometimes simple food really is the best. This is the perfect spot for a quick bite before a musical. We'll definitely be back!

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.

Everything was cooked perfectly and our plates were HUGE! We definitely took home leftovers! I would also recommend trying the beets and cabbage salad, both were delicious!

I order the chicken kabob plate and this is delicious. The chicken is juicy and every side that forms part of this plate, compliments one another. You have spicy, crunchy elements that burst in your mouth. I enjoyed the fact that they provide you with a garlic paste dipping sauce that is filled with of flavor. The service is great. They check in to ask how you are doing or if you need else. That check-in makes all the difference. The serving size is on point. I eat good and I could not finish my food. That there will give you an idea of the plate size. The food here is chefs kiss.
