First, our bill was over $100 for 3 people. Chicken Shawarma, lamb shawarma, chicken plate and 4 Costco bottle water, Menu has no explanation and found the cashier with an attitude when she was taking our order. She just told to go to the line after giving us our receipt so we go. Then I asked what we are suppose to do when we got to the line . He gives me a nasty remark and says it's the same as everywhere else! . He was RUDE, very rude and I had to tell him I'm just asking because the cashier didn't let us know just told us to go in line. Then just went back to the grill to look at his cellphone. I told him as he was leaving we don't know and it was our first time. AMBIANCE was too loud and they allow dogs here. There was a lady feeding her dog her left over lamb bone on the floor. As we were eating our food, a guy passes by and says "what am I suppose to do she gave me my receipt". There are other place to get better shawarma if you want to be treated better. The only redeeming maybe was the pita bread. But we don't expect to come back here. I gave more star for the Pita. But our experience was meh! And door dash/ uber guy was given attitude too, he was waiting and no one came to help until a few mins later standing at the front. People here are rude. Paying that price, you want to be treated better. read more

Probably the best Shawarma in town! Big plates and laffas of salads, beef or chicken shawarma with all the good stuff that comes with it. Great service, large restaurant. Friendly staff. Definitely worth trying read more

Avi, please explain the idea behind offering a "student discount" during hours students are in school? Also, you have a two star review by someone who got sick from your food and your response is "come back for a free pita". Not really what a person whose wife got diarrhea from eating your food is probably wanting to hear. You are quite the restaurateur. read more

Their $30 beef Kebob wrap is all bread and you can barely have a bite the bread is like plastic and you can barely taste them meat

Have gone back a few times. Really good if a bit expensive (but it's Glatt Kosher, and you get a ton of sides). But the food is delicious. Had everything (steak, shawarma, falafel, veggies, salad, fries) and was very happy with it. Also great for families. Went with my kids and they loved it! read more

... from service to food to atmosphere and the list goes on. Trying to steal recipes and ruin it

Shawarma is very seasoned and cooked perfectly. Very talented chefs, who work hard. Food was amazing, each ingredients they use or the highest quality read more

Amazing place! Food is delicious, staff is friendly. Portions are much bigger than similar style restaurants. Delicious shawarma, kabobs, salads, etc. Best you'll have! read more

Very expensive for what you get. I ordered a shawarma and water, the bill came out to $31!! Shawarma is people's food/street food and price $31 is just unreasonable. Also, a tiny bottle of water was $5 or $6 ( like the bottles you get at Costco for $0.25). I was surprised by price and switched to cup of tap water. The already unfriendly attitudy cashier grumbled and said "fine". I commented that price took me back a little he just gave me more attitude. ‍ read more

Very hard to justify the prices here. Came once alone and once with a group for lunch. I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you it cost us $80 per person for a few Shawarma plates and skewers to share with a bunch of lil salads.The bill was literally over $800!!...for a light lunch. They actually tried to tell us they used the fancy plates so it cost more. WTF. None of us have been back since. read more

Great shawarma ! Clean and tasty good service ! Large portions ! I eat there at least once a week and I never get tired of it.

There is not am option to give a big ZERO to this place awful Coustomer service . No order in the store . Workers are nasty food is horrid . STAY AWAY read more

Wanted to give this place a try since it's down the street from our house. We love Mediterranean food so we had high hopes for this place! We ordered the Beef Shawarma and the Turkey Shawarma plate (since they ran out of chicken). The pricing was justifiable considering we are in Studio City, however, after trying the food we are utterly confused how they could charge $25 for a wrap and $30 for a plate. We couldn't even finish our Beef Shawarma and we left the Turkey untouched because it tasted like the meat was expired and there was ZERO flavoring. Lastly, woke up in the middle of the night to my boyfriend having explosive diarrhea WHILE throwing up at the same time!!!! It was a AWFUL!!!!!! We directed it back to the food we ate here since it was the only thing we had for dinner and the last thing we ate read more

Amazing food and great customer service must try this food! Walked in and was amazed on their menu!!!

Food is Nasty and overpriced, just one shawarma wrap is priced at $36.Customer service is way worse than the food taste.

Hands down the best Shawarma in LA! Enough food to feed an army. I'm kosher and it's so hard to find delicious options. I love everything on the menu. Awesome spot. They do a great catering job too. Fresh vegetables grilled meats and then some. Must try kosher or not read more

Very yummy! Great service. Vegan shawarma was really good!!! The restaurant is clean, portions are generous. Loved it

Fast fresh!!! Really great food! Friendly service. I look forward to my next visit!

I live down the street, I go to the FedEx next-door for work almost daily so tonight I decided to walk in and order some food to go. I was overwhelmed with how kind, friendly, and welcoming everyone was. They gave me extra food, very sincere and earnest recommendations, and the food was great. It's a new spot, and I've been watching them set up over the past few months and it seems like a very nice family business which I'm always happy to support. I'll be back. read more

Wow we had a great experience at Big Daddy's, the lamb shawarma, which is a new menu item, was amazing. I had the shawarma plate with salads and fries and my husband had the Laffa. The staff was super friendly and the place was crazy busy. We will be going back very soon! read more

We were looking for a quick dinner when driving by Big Daddy's Shawarma. The menu is expansive and sounds promising, but the in-store experience is somewhat vague with respect to what precisely is offered in each dish. Menu prices are also rather high. While I understand prices have been going up in general, these prices are sobering, even when compared to other fast/casual restaurants offering similar food. We ordered and paid at the register, before moving into line. Although one dish was overly spiced, the majority of the food was dried out and tasteless. As others have pointed out, the French fries were cold, soggy and without flavor. The staff was pleasant and attentive, and the space was clean. All in all, it's an overpriced fast food experience with a forgettable menu. read more

Had one of the best beef shawarma's! It was juicy, tasteful and filling. The sides I got were so delicious too. As soon as I walked in all the staff were so welcoming and explained the process of getting the food and gave great recommendations. I'm glad I made the choice of getting the beef shawarma. There was a great vibe too which I think is very important in my opinion. The combination of the great food, vibe, cleanliness and great staff, I'll definitely be going again real soon. read more

Good food. Fast service. Nice service staff (especially the young man who takes the orders and the gents who prepare the food). The price for all plate selections is on the high side. read more

Big Daddy’s Shawarma - Lamb Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Studio City, California

Service here is amazing, ladys at the front are so welcoming and nice. The owner is a great guy. I ordered a half lamb half chicken shawarma plate and OMG was this salty. French fries was drenched in salt and both types of shawarma was salty big time. The quality of meat and poultry is good but very fatty and oily. The shnitzel Sandwich was good. I never ever in the world paid for a plate with tax and no drink $38.00 this place is very overpriced. Never in my life paid at any certified kosher restaurant for shawarma these prices. read more

Best service best food ever highly recommended quality of the food was so great and the amount I couldn't finish my food

Eh not worth the price, quality wasn't that great either, better shawarma places in Sherman oaks and studio city to visit.

Food was awful -- full of oil, came with no pita, had bad heartburn, and tasted like crap. $167 for 2 schnitzels and a meat shawarma and a few fries; wow. The customer service was horrific as well. The lady that answered the phone was not only rude, but unhelpful as well. I would give a rating less than "1" if it were possible. Do better! read more

Great food great atmosphere Great service clean food was delicious and a lot of it I ll come back read more

Big Daddy Shawarma is a really great place for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner! The food is always cooked to perfection, it's always fresh, tasty, and the large portions always satisfy my hunger. What stands out the most is the cleanliness of the place, which to me is the most important thing of all. Another good point to mention is the staff, they are warm, welcoming, and very generous, which adds a personal touch to every visit. If you're in the mood for authentic Israeli food that is the place to visit. I can't recommend it highly enough--Big Daddy Shawarma is a keeper! read more
