    Sirloin kebab
    Adam N.

    First time here. A remarkable place considering it is a SoCal chain. You order sort of like El Pollo (protein + Sides). I ordered beef sirloin Kebab. Cooked to order so about 10 minutes. Had tabouil and saffron rice. Really fresh and delicious. Sauces are a plus! spicy red, cilantro lime, and dill yogurt were all great. Nice staff.

    FYI this was an $18 plate

    See photo. This steak kebab plate was $18. Absolutely ridiculous. Would give 0 stars if I could

    Been here a few times now and they're always consistent with how good the food is. From the hummus to the salads and proteins, everything has been fresh, flavorful, and never disappoints. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly every visit too. Big plus is the huge shared parking lot since parking in Los Feliz can be a struggle sometimes. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving a solid, healthy, flavorful meal. A bit pricey in my opinion, but still good and I'll keep returning :)

    I was starving and wanted some fast food so I came by to try this place out. I ordered the popular Super Duper shawarma and wasn't sure what to expect. They were a bit busy but I thought they took a little too long to bring out my order. I finally received my order and I must say it is super duper big and it actually could easily be shared by two people. They have four different sauces you can try which made the shawarma taste pretty good.

    I'm in the middle... I love Mediterranean food and im on the fence with this. Something tastes off. I don't know if it the smoke of the meat or grill flavor, the greens or the water the veggies were grown in, the domes of the kofta or lack thereof but it wasn't what it should have been. The sauces were amazing, service was excellent and the feel of the place is good and clean. I'm not counting it out which is why im not bashing it but something just didn't taste right and I couldn't finish it.

    I stumbled on the Encino location of The Kebab Shop the last time I went to the movies at Laemmle Town Center. As a world traveller, I always long for the tastes I had in the Mediterranean here in the US, so I am blown away by the authentic and delicious tasting plates I have had here. SO delicious! I have sesame ( tahini) allergies so they were very conscious of telling me the items I COULD eat so I could make my own "build a plate". The tzatsiki, toubouli, chicken schwarma and pita are truly the best I have had! And the portions are very generous. I joined the Rewards program on my first visit so already on my next visit I will get a free drink or French fries. It is so hard nowadays to find healthy and nutritious food in a casual eat -in/take-out settings. I keep forgetting there is a Northridge location near where I live. Glad I found a new favorite place.

    Not a great value, but tasty. Atwater is located just next door to the land of kebabs. For the equivalent money you can spend here, you can get a meal with leftovers. Everything is clean, sanitized, and shiny. The service is great and fast, but spending over $20 for a plate with a single skewer and a fountain drink is really not necessary. The ingredients are fresh, and the proteins are good. Not overly seasoned and does demonstrate the healthy side of their tag line from the poster on the wall. The chicken is a chicken breast. The Shawarma is decent. The beef is tender, and they even offer shrimp. Wraps are decently sized and neatly constructed, but really lack an acceptable amount of protein. Side offerings cover your usual Mediterranean accompaniments. Very unfortunately, the Tabbouleh was drenched in so much lemon juice that all I tasted was sourness and nothing else. With multiple locations, The Kebab Shop spans from San Diego to Florida to Texas, and many in Southern California. They are a family-run chain backed by Private Equity. The food they serve is good, but the value is not there with the portion sizing they give.

    Great food and great service! The San Diego wrap was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The sauces are absolutely bomb and take everything to the next level. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a quick, delicious meal. Highly recommend!

    Today I happened to pass by this place and decided to give the food a try. Honestly, it's hard to find something really good these days, but this place exceeded all my expectations. The roll turned out to be super tasty and filling. I love that they don't put the sauce inside -- you can add it yourself while eating, so the wrap stays fresh and doesn't fall apart. Guys, I really recommend trying the food here. The staff is friendly and polite, they even reminded me to grab the sauce -- I picked the garlic yogurt one, and it's a solid 10 out of 10. The place inside is very clean and it's nice to be there. Definitely thumbs up for this spot!

    Stopped by The Kebab Shop and had a really great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. Shoutout to Logan for the amazing service--super friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit feel welcoming. He really went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. Good food is one thing, but great service makes all the difference. I'll definitely be coming back!

I finally had the chance to stop in for a solo early dinner, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. I ordered the Lule Kabob Combo ($22), which included skewers of minced beef and chicken, rice, veggies, pita, hummus, and a side salad. The highlights of the meal were definitely the salad and the grilled tomato; the pomegranate seeds in the rice were also a nice touch. However, the meats weren't to my taste--the chicken had an odd aftertaste, and while the beef was better, neither really worked for me. Adding the provided sumac and lemon helped, but I wouldn't order the kebabs again. Additionally, the hummus lacked creaminess, and the pita tasted like it was mass-produced rather than fresh. On the positive side, the portion sizes are very generous for the price point, and I left feeling full. I also have to mention that the patio is adorable and very "Instagrammable," so it's a great spot if you're looking for a photo-friendly environment. A quick note for future visitors: they are currently having issues with their card reader and are requesting cash or Zelle. It felt a little unusual to be rung up on a register only to pay via Zelle, but it wasn't a major deal. While I appreciated the atmosphere and value, the food itself just wasn't for me, so I likely won't be returning.

What we ordered- We always start with the duck hummus and chicken liver, rich, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with their fluffy pita. The lamb neck shawarma is a non-negotiable, falls right off the bone, juicy, and comes with the perfect accompaniments. We also got the grilled dorade and oyster mushrooms, both are consistently excellent. This time we swapped our usual shrimp for the crudo and peach salad, and honestly, both were amazing. Still team shrimp overall, but it just goes to show you really can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Service is always attentive and the ambiance is upscale with lots of natural lights and greenery. Parking - There is valet parking and a pay to park lot across the street by Girl and the Goat. While there is street parking in the area, I've noticed a lot of smashed glass from break ins. (I've also had my car broken into before by the pottery studio ... they stole my pink picnic blanket)

Because of Bavel's outstanding reputation, we were excited to celebrate such a special occasion here. The food was excellent, and our server was attentive and professional. Unfortunately, the dining environment significantly detracted from what should have been a memorable evening. Our party of seven was seated at the chef's table directly adjacent to the open-flame kitchen on a day when temperatures were around 90 degrees. The heat at our table was overwhelming, especially for those seated with their backs to the kitchen. Several members of our party, including elderly family members, were extremely uncomfortable throughout much of the meal. Adding to that, the constant shouting of orders from the kitchen made it difficult for our family to have conversations during our daughter's engagement celebration. We understand that many guests enjoy sitting near an open kitchen, but on this particular evening the combination of the kitchen heat and what appeared to be inadequate air conditioning made the experience far less enjoyable than we expected. Even our son and his family, who have dined at Bavel many times, commented that this was not consistent with their previous experiences. Bavel's food deserves its reputation, but comfort is also an important part of a fine dining experience. Unfortunately, the excessive heat and noise overshadowed what should have been a joyful family celebration. I hope the restaurant addresses these issues so future guests can enjoy the exceptional meal in a more comfortable environment.

However, some parts of the meat came out too charred, so I had to cut those parts off before eating it.

    3-STARS FOR THE CRISPY BROCCOLI ALONE!!! I will for sure order that again. It's perfectly & lightly…read morecrusted and sits on top of a garlic sauce. AMAZING! Dinner was delicious during my first visit to Mizlala. The Chicken Pargiyot was well seasoned and enough for two portions easily (in case you wanna share.) The rice...meh. Hummus and their fluffy pita...delightful. We also really enjoyed the Sumac fries and garlic sauce. Once you arrive, go inside to order and then back outside to seat yourself in the patio area. It's very cute with a garden'y feel. Wonderful for summer nights, but the flies and random gnats are OVERLY annoying while eating. They do not have inside seating. Service was lovely and they even made wine suggestions with my meal. Parking is potentially an issue, as the restaurant is in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Be aware of street signs.
