Last night my son and I wanted to give this Big Daddy's Shawarma a try for the 1st time and we were looking forward to it. We met each other in separate cars. While he was looking for parking, I was already inside checking out what their menu options were. I thought I was reading the prices wrong, but no, I was reading their prices right. After reading them few more times, my son walked in at that time. Right when we were able to place an order, we decided not to. Prices were so insanely outrageous! Super EXPENSIVE!! For one chicken or any kind of Shawarma plate was $30.00. Are you guys out of your minds?? Not to mention that in addition to their high prices, they were doing catering for Hanukkah celebration which was even more crazy. Charging $189 feast that serves 5 people. Right there and then we both walked out on empty stomachs. Ambiance was whatever. Place was clean, looked at other tables what people were eating, portions looked somewhat decent, and we can't comment on the food, because we didn't get a chance to taste it. Wanted to use the restroom, and since it was ONLY FOR their CUSTOMERS, the employee didn't let me use it. They had a lot of employees working at the counter, where you place your order and were somewhat helpful. Also had a FANCY looking desk with a woman sitting there so you can pay first, before getting in line to place your order. Had small outdoor patio seating with only 3 tables and few chairs. Overall a nice place, but if you bring down your prices, and be comparable with other Middle Eastern restaurants, then MAYBE me, we, us can give this Big Daddy a try!! Lots of parking shared with Vons and many other businesses. We left the restaurant feeling hungry, and disappointed. Went to Zanku Chicken on Riverside Dr. and had a better meal that was a lot more affordable than Big, Huge Daddy! Paid a lot LESS than $30.00 for food for the price of ONE!! For both me & my son. It really hit the spot!! read more

The food is so good. The portions are huge. And the ambiance is very fun. The prices are kind of high but honestly if you split 1 plate between 2 adults it is still more than enough food read more

Delicious food. The cost of the items were $30+, which did come with a lot of food in terms of portion. The service was okay. Overall, I had an okay experience. read more

Was tasty and was kosher and clean and reasonably priced for a kosher meal. Service was good and the restaurant was very clean

Big Daddy's Shawarma in Studio City is an absolute gem. First off, the parking situation is a dream -- tons of free parking, which is rare around here and makes the whole experience stress-free from the start. We literally left another kosher spot because they didn't had parking for 20 minutes and thankfully we got to big daddys. The food? Next level. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and authentic, from the perfectly seasoned shawarma to the flavorful sides and sauces. You can tell they really care about quality and staying true to traditional flavors. Great portions, great service, and an easy, convenient location -- this place checks all the boxes. Definitely one of my go-to spots. read more

Meat was too fatty and unappetizing. Will not be going again. For all restaurants in this part of Studio City, parking is a problem.

Wow! Food is delicious, fresh, and of high quality. Portions are large and great for sharing. Pricing can seem high but once your food arrives one realizes that the prices are justified. Staff is very nice at this kosher restaurant that makes fresh food in a casual setting. The restaurant is roomy and has both indoor and outdoor setting with a newly remodeled interior that is warm and modern. They have wine and beer on tap. The place including the restrooms are very clean. Metered street parking as well as parking in the rear are options. You know it is a fantastic spot when many non-kosher keeping customer enjoy a meal here. My only negative comment is that there is not one closer to work or home. read more

Whoa this place gives out Big Daddy portions! Unless you're a big eater this could've been two meals on one plate. The Jerusalem mix was phenomenal. Its a mix of chicken meat and organ meat (liver and heart) and seasoned so well. The side salads are also tasty. Prices might seem expensive but you're really getting a lot of food! Best Shawarma I've had in LA so far. Will definitely be back for more. read more

Can't express how excited I was for this place. It should be a Studio City stalwart, pride of the Neighborhood. Instead, it was an utter disappointment from the food to most especially the Customer Service. First off we spent $220 for five people on five different plates and a few side dishes. I Call an order over the phone specifically asking if they had rice because one of the kids was begging for rice, they said "all the plates come with rice" and then another kid asked for extra Pita and they said "all of the plates come with Pita" - here's what ended up happening: *They gave us a combined one order of pita with four meals *Zero rice (!!!) *Forgot my additional half order of four falafel *Six falafel instead of eight in the regular order So I called and the guy said "I counted the falafel so I know you had eight" - I wish I took a picture as I am not a liar about these things. Anyways, they said "yeah, we were out of rice" why would they not tell me that when I ordered all of these meals specifically asking for rice? And to screw us on the Pita like that?!? They said "we will give you store credit"" all I said is I just wanna come in and pick it up and they were fighting with me. Bogus spot and definitely not BIG anything except disappointment. read more

Went a couple weeks ago for the first time and absolutely loved it. I've always passed by it and finally decided to go in and I'm so happy I did. The owner is incredible and so friendly, as well as the kitchen staff. I got all that food for only 25 dollars, for the lunch special which ALSO included a free drink. That image could easily feed 4 people so that price is crazy low! Thank you guys for an amazing first experience will definitely be coming more often read more

By far the best Shawarma in the valley--the meat is always fresh and perfectly seasoned, but what truly sets Big Daddy's apart is the incredible team behind the counter. Oscar, the manager, is phenomenal. He runs the place with so much pride and warmth that you instantly feel welcomed the moment you walk in. His attention to detail and genuine care for every customer really elevate the whole experience. And Jesus is just insanely good behind the counter. Super friendly, fast, and always on point with the orders. You can tell he puts heart into what he does, and it shows in the quality and consistency of every meal. If you're anywhere near Studio City, do yourself a favor and grab a shawarma here--you'll walk out smiling, full, and already planning your next visit. Not to mention the ambiance feels so chill you wouldn't believe it's a kosher spot. read more

The food is so fresh and high-quality. I love how it feels like a family. And again the food taste delicious.

Definitely recommend! Amazing management, quick Service, and huge portion sizes. Tons of indoor seating and a bit of outdoor seating. 3 kinds of shawarma roasting on spits. Lots of off street parking. Central and convenient location. A great addition to kosher food options in the valley. read more

I think this is one of my favourite shawarma spots! The pita is soft and the French fries were thick and soft yet crunchy. The filling I think is the best part. The portion of meat they give is really generous and with all the other ingredients I add in, it will definitely fill you up. I definitely recommend adding the roasted garlic, eggplant and grilled onions plus the spicy relish/paste. It really makes the whole thing so flavourful and yummy! The chicken and beef shawarma combo is my favourite though their lamb shawarma is good too but can be a little fatty sometimes. Overall, though the prices are a little steep in my opinion, it's a hearty meal full of flavours. read more

Tried the lamb shawarma in lafa bread at Big Daddy Shawarma. Portions were generous, but the overall quality was disappointing. The lafa bread felt dry and stale, and the lamb meat was also dry and lacking seasoning and spice. Unfortunately, not a place I would come back to. read more

Kept seeing this restaurant all over social media and it looked promising, but the experience was pretty disappointing. The food was very bland overall, especially for the price--$36 for a beef shawarma plate felt excessive for what you get. The hummus was overwhelmingly heavy on tahini, and then they added even more on top, which made it hard to enjoy. Nothing really stood out or felt worth the cost. Service didn't help either. The cashier didn't greet us, and during checkout didn't say the total or communicate at all--just held out her hand for the card, which felt a bit off-putting. Overall, it felt like a waste of money and didn't live up to the hype. read more

This place is one of the best Shawarma that I had in Los Angeles. I will definitely come back and eat more Shawarma.

The food is great. A Kosher Middle Eastern food very close to what you will find in Israel. The owner was nice and friendly. read more

I've had my share of shawarma, but nothing--and I mean nothing--comes close to Big Daddy's. The chicken is seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection, the garlic sauce is a creamy, flavorful revelation, and the fresh veggies give it a perfect crunch. Every bite is an explosion of flavor that makes you close your eyes and savor the moment. How anyone could give this place 3 or 4 stars is beyond me; they must be taste-blind. This is what 5 stars were made for. read more

Absolutely delicious!!!! A great addition. Delicious Shwarma woukd go here agains and again. read more

If the shawarma plate was 15 bucks, I would give this place 5 stars.... But 2 Shawarma plates and 2 cans of soda ...$74. I am sorry, that's crazy. This is a fast casual restaurant. You carry your own food to the table... $37 a person!! The food was good. I have nothing bad to say about that. Chicken was tender and flavorful. All the sides were tasty and full of flavor. And another positive was the portion size was huge. The decor was simple and all the employees were nice. I wanted to love this place, but $74 for lunch for 2 people, I can't give it more than 3 stars. I am sorry. Lower the prices and I will be there a few times a week. I simply can't afford it until then read more

The food at Big Daddy's Shawarma is genuinely good -- flavorful, well-seasoned meat and fresh sides. But the prices are absolutely outrageous for a counter-service spot. You'll easily drop $35+ per person, which is hard to justify no matter how good the shawarma is. Come with an empty stomach and a full wallet. read more

Lovely restaurant! Clean, fresh, DELICIOUS!!! The workers at the counter were nice, welcoming and happy to serve! Took Schinitzel chala and grilled chicken breast plate. The food is delicious! The dish is big! It was made on the spot, was hot, fresh and well worth its price. I pay somewhere else $3 less and don't get this type of food and service! Being kosher is extra added value! Thank you ! I will be back with my family! read more

My favorite shawarma. Portions are insane. Service is always nice. Place looks great and modern not like a typical hole in the wall.

Good food but ridiculously over priced for a mini pita shawarma wrap with 13 pieces of French fries. 44$ - 2 pita shawarma wraps with fries and 2 Coca Cola 13$ - 1 order of fried Moroccan cigar filled with beef and drizzled tahini $81.11 read more

Los Angeles does not have a very big kosher scene or a big Shawarma scene. There used to be a great spot for many years, but it closed recently. Then i came across this place big daddy. I'm so happy I did. The pita shawarma is juicy and flavorful and filling. It's a bit pricey. But you get a lot of veggies and tons of fries on the side. Totally worth it. 5 stars! read more

Great fresh food! Pretty generous amount and service. Thank you for another great kosher option read more

The food is WAAAAAY overpriced for poorly cooked meat. The ordering is confusing. Why am I paying $30 BEFORE I get my food? ALSO, why do I HAVE to pay for soggy fries. Top to bottom, this was a disappointment. Would NOT recommend. I can get much better shwarma and a much more reasonable price at almost ANY shwarma place in LA. read more

On our last day in LA we traveled to studio city to test the "newest" Israeli kid on the Shawarma block... #bigdaddyshawarma , no kid friendly portions so minime went with a chicken Shawarma in a pita, we had a choice between veal, lamb and chicken, we asked for a mix yet we're told they "only mix veal and chicken, not lamb".... ok... so lamb it was.... it was ok... the Lafa bread they make in house was not for our liking... too chewy and thick, felt like it took away from the taste of the meat.... but it is rare to find lamb Shawarma in the US so it was good to have the option....the kebbeh (originally Iraqi dish of stuffed and fried burgul (buckwheat i think?) Filled with lamb meet, onions and pine nuts was AMAZING! read more
