My boyfriend introduced me to this place and it's become an addiction for the both of us. We try to get it at least once a week. We always order the Xander wraps and they are SOOO freakin GOOD. The chicken is always well seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the garlic sauce!!! MAN that's the best part! We have tried to find a similar sauce to use at home with no luck, it's the best garlic sauce ever. The only negative thing I have to say is they never seem to have the baklava available when we go which sucks because I love baklava. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for something delicious to eat! read more

Been dreaming about this wrap ever since we had it! There's not much to say other than this wrap was the best I've had. So much flavor! Fries were really good as well. We drove out to try DAMA GRILL and it was so worth it! Parking in the back, a few tables to sit inside. You order on the iPad at the counter and we got our food pretty quickly. Definitely coming back! read more

There's a lot of good and some bad experiences from my visit here, but I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt (for my first visit) and rate this based on the food I ate. Let's start with the good: the food itself is fantastic - we had the chicken shawarma wrap, beef shawarma wrap, and another beef wrap (I think the kafta). All were really good and everything is halal. The toum (garlic sauce) has a very modern, smooth creamy texture and is not that strong. I prefer a thicker and more concentrated toum but to each their own. I will definitely be back to try this again Now the bad - the crew were severely understaffed for a sunday afternoon rush. It took really long to get our order and even then we were missing one thing which took them almost an hour to get us. I had to stand waiting for it since there's no proper system to notify you when your order is ready while the rest of my party sat and ate their food. They need better coordination or more staff in the kitchen. All our orders were also missing the dollop of pomegranate molasses on top but maybe they were just too busy to keep track of that. The parking situation is a little tight - there's a small lot and (some) street parking along the main road and the inside street. There were a lot of people with dogs, both inside and outside which I don't think is too sanitary especially considering how small the inside area is. Bathroom needs some serious TLC too. I will be visiting again and updating my review based on the overall experience next time, hope things are better! read more

Everyone raving about Miya Miya but standing in a 3 hour line should assess their time. This is identical and faster and cheaper. It takes out well too. Its rough and tumble like an NYC Bodega, and that definitely adds to the flavor. 10/10. Go read more

Get the chicken shawarma wrap. While the beef is yummy, the chicken is bursting with flavor and the sauces are to die for. I regretted ordering the beef after taking a bite of the chicken, so don't make the same mistake as me! (Nothing against the beef, it's just not in the same ballpark as the chicken). The french fries were also yummy! Great texture and very crispy. Grabbed takeout on a Friday evening and didn't have to wait long to pick up our order. Definitely will be coming back! read more

The place is very nice, there are some spacious outdoor seating options as well as a few indoor seating options. The place was not that full at the time we went but it did take them quite a while to get our food out. I had a chicken wrap, a beef wrap and another spicy chicken wrap. All together it was about 50 dollars with no additional drinks or sides. All together it was three large wraps which was enough for two people. In my opinion a bit too expensive. The sauces were pretty good. I loved the creamy garlic. The beef wrap was my least favorite. The parsley and cucumber did add to the freshness but the meat felt too dry and not very flavorful. The chicken wrap was carried by the delicious sauces which made it much more juicy and flavorful. The spicy chicken one was also really good. I would definitely order that one again. The baklava was delicious too. The chicken wraps are definitely delicious but for the price and the long wait times I wouldn't make this my first choice. If you have the money and you have the time you are in for a delicious treat. read more

Finally checked this place off my list of places to go try! Walked up and placed our order on the kiosk! Waited about 5-10 min before the called our number! Which was actually fast considering how much foot traffic they had! We got the spicy chicken schwrama wrap. One with Pom and one without Pom. They are really delicious flavorful and packed with chicken! Definitely want to try the chicken and rice combo read more

I've never seen such a horrible restaurant so overly hyped. This place is an embarrassment to Syrian food. I waited almost 30 minutes for ONE shawarma combo. Service is so slow, disorganized and customer interaction or rapport is nonexistent For almost $29, $19.69 to be exact, you would think there would be at least minimum effort put into the food. Nope. The only good thing about the combo plate were the fries and the crispy saj. That's it. Everything else was horrendous. The chicken was bland, dry, and not made like any half decent shawarma. The toum is full of mayo and so greasy and grossly wet. They "cut" the shawarma but don't even bother cutting it all the way so it becomes more of a mess when you try tearing apart the pieces and all the filling just squeezes out. They also forgot the pomegranate molasses. Seriously? I would never recommend this garbage read more

Wow this place is sooo good!! It definitely lives up to the hype!! We tried the famous chicken shawarma wraps and it was delicious. I asked for extra pomegranate drizzle on the side and it paired so well with the garlic sauce and the wrap. The chicken was juicy and packed in there, and the crisp on the wrap was a nice touch. The fries were good too! You order on a kiosk and the wait was around 10-15 minutes since they make it to order. There's a few tables inside and outside to eat. The service is friendly and quick. Will definitely be back! read more

I came here after hearing great things about Dama Grill from my friends, and I was so excited to try crispy shawarma. There is a parking lot in the back, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating here, pretty spacious. You order on a kiosk, and it took about ten minutes before we got our wraps. We sat inside to eat, and our wraps were delicious! I love the sauces they gave us too, one was toum and the other was a more sesame flavored (?). We got both the chicken and beef, but the beef won by far. It was juicy and flavored well! read more

Looking for shawarma in the Palms area near Culver City? This is your spot! It's been years since the last time I had some tasty shawarma. The chicken is juicy and tender, just perfect for every bite! Both the chicken shawarma and the chicken kebab are delicious. Be sure to order some fries too. I also got the falafel plate that comes with six pieces, however I found these to be a bit dry for me; I wish they were juicy. Service can be slow, depending on how busy it is. My first time here, I had to wait for 45 minutes after placing my order. The place was popping! Then my second time here, they had already sold out. Needless to say, Dama is a popular and tasty place, so plan ahead. read more

I've been going to Dama Grill for 1+ years now, and it's my boyfriend and I's favorite shawarma spot. I love to see a place get the hype on social media it deserves. Unfortunately I think the large influx in customers also led to the shrinking in size of fries which used to come in a slightly longer black box. They told us our wait would be 40 minutes, it ended up being 1 hour and 15 minutes (this doesn't bother me too much, I'm willing to wait for really good food)- except our fries were stale and soggy despite eating them upon arrival. This is my first time the chicken shawarma wrap came chopped up rather than in a foil wrap / bag, maybe I ordered differently this time. The shawarma is still delicious. As a holistic experience though, I may take a break from Dama Grill until they figure things out. read more

After hearing the hype around this place, I knew I had to make the stop and try the food. Parking was decent, and it wasn't super packed when we arrived to order. But it did take a while to receive our food, but we definitely took into account the increased business they've received in the past few months. While we waited, an employee brought us different kinds of baklava, which were so sweet that the long wait flew by a little faster. The food was pretty good; it had more unique flavors than I've had in the past, and I'm glad we got a chance to try it. read more

Tik Tok and IG got me for Sustenance Saturday, and since I was in the area, driving by and most importantly found parking, I decided to stop. There are about 4-5 casual tables inside, and more covered patio seating outside. Outside was full, inside had availability. There wasn't much of a line when I arrived late afternoon, and there was quite a line when I left maybe 30 min later. Ordering was a little confusing because you self order on a screen kiosk, but the kiosk options did not match what was on the tv screen menus hanging above the counter. I wanted the 2 chicken shawarma wraps with fries which was on the tv menu, but not at the self order kiosk. I asked the young man behind the counter and he said the 2 mini wraps were no longer available and it was only the one large wrap with fries. Ok, I guess I'll order that. I was unclear if they were out of the 2 mini wraps just that day and time, or for forever. Single wrap was a good size, and there were ton of crispy fries that I couldn't finish. The chicken was tasty, and the garlic sauce was yummy. I did not detect any of the pomegranate molasses, which to be honest is why we're all going. There was no way to order an extra side of the molasses either, so that was disappointing. Not sure where all these pictures are coming from with extra sides of garlic sauce and molasses. Wish there would be some better consistency with the orders. Wish the tv menu would match the kiosk menu. Wish the mix of one beef and one chicken shawarma wrap was available. The kitchen is very busy trying to fill orders and seemed a little overwhelmed with the recent social media popularity. Would I go back? Sure, if I was driving by and found parking. Would I wait in a long a$$ line? No Bonus: yummy wrap, lots of fries, good garlic sauce Bogus: no detectable pomegranate molasses, no way to order extra, why are they gatekeeping this read more

I rarely eat at hole in the walls since I need a serious background check before going. AKA multiple tik tok videos hyping it up to be the best shawarma in LA. I'm here to confirm it does! | F O O D | Chicken Shawarma 8.5/10 - The balance of tender meat, acidic peppers, addictive garlic sauce, and wrapped in a crisp exterior. Beef Shawarma 7/10 - same experience, but preferred the spices and flavor of the chicken Chicken and Rice Plate 8.5/10- The char on the chicken adds even depth of flavor and is still extremely tender and juicy. The rice is packed with spices and getting a nice bit with garlic sauce on top just makes it perfect. | O V E R A L L | I wish I could just buy a gallon of garlic sauce and put it on everything. Stick to the chicken, but everything on the menu lives up to the hype. I have already gone back and it was extremely crowded. Parking is easy, but I couldn't figure out how to order online. Phone and doordash didn't work plus no website, making ordering before impossible. read more

Today I asked the girl working the register for 3 of the Xander which she replies "it's not called that when you're paying cash" with an attitude then when my sister points it out on the menu & she goes "okay the Xander" when I just said that & she obviously knew what I meant. Then when our order is ready my brother goes to grab it & the other girl in white pulls back the bag of food & goes "no not you". As if he was some random guy just grabbing our order, when we had all 3 walked up & ordered together on one tab. We then asked for a cup for the slushie we paid for & with an attitude she told us it's right there when there was in fact no cups right there. The older man then went & got us 2 cups. Which we did appreciate the free slushie but other than that it was such an uncomfortable experience for me & my siblings who it was their first time here & I wanted to show them this spot & it was a horrible first impression for them. read more

Dama Grill - Girls behind the counter are rude & unprofessional - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tried Dama Grill in Culver City and the food really does live up to the hype--but definitely come with patience. It wasn't overly crowded, yet it still took over 25 minutes to get our two shawarma wraps. You order at a touchscreen kiosk, but one of the team members was nearby helping out and was very friendly, which made the process easy. The space itself is small and pretty bare-bones, so this is more about the food than the ambiance. Both the chicken and beef wraps were great--nice and toasty, packed with flavor, and the pomegranate molasses and garlic sauces were sooo good and really made the wraps stand out. One thing to note: parking is very limited--there's a small shared lot in the back with a hookah bar, so plan ahead. Overall, great food and worth trying, just don't come in a rush. If you're patient, you'll be rewarded with some really tasty shawarma. read more

Dama Grill in Culver City is hands down one of my favorite shawarma spots. The chicken shawarma is always juicy, perfectly seasoned, and has that slight char that makes it next level. The fries are crispy, the sauces hit every time, and the portions are solid. What really makes it though is the staff -- super friendly, welcoming, and consistent. You can tell they take pride in the food and service. It's the kind of spot you keep coming back to because you know it's going to be good every time. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

The chicken plate was the best. The chicken was so moist and tender. It came with crispy fries, garlic, hummus and tortilla. TYE chicken shawarma was also good to eat. I originally was going to get the beef version but I saw so many people placing orders for the chicken plate I figured that was the favorite for the masses so I ordered it and I wasn't disappointed at all. They need multiple kiosks to order from because they only had one everyone stood in line for. This place was had a line constantly out the door and most to the good to go because of the limited seating inside and out. It's not a place for large groups to congregate at but if your party is no more than four people then there is seating. There is a separate area to get your bottled drinks. Parking is a combination of street or shared business parking in the rear which is hit or miss. Definitely come out and check this place out. read more

Ohmygoodness. This place is a must try. Chicken and Beef Shawarmas were AMAZING. Perfectly crunchy on the outside, packed with so much flavor and the sauces were so yummy. One was garlic based and the other was pomegranate so it was sweet and very delicious, I've never eaten anything like it with shawarma and I loved it. Can't wait to be back and try their falafels as well! Parking is fairly easy with street parking around the corner- came around dinner time and I didn't have any issues finding a spot. read more

Dama Grill - Chicken Wrap Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Let's talk about bold flavors! Dama grill definitely brings it. Ordering is easy using a kiosk. We tried the chicken shawarma and Xander special with a side of fries. We ended up sitting outside to eat. The space does have tables inside and outside to eat, but these are limited and you may have to wait to dine in. Honestly this place is definitely worth the wait and tbh you probably will. The flavors and textures of the wraps were insane. The wraps had a nice crunch, and the proteins were marinated to perfection being both juicy and bursting with flavor. Fries and the pickled veggies also delivered on the flavors and textures. Things do run out and given how good these wrap are I'm not surprised. Would definitely recommend a visit. read more

Dama Grill is as good as you've heard it is! And I say that knowing full well you've seen it all over social media. Both the Chicken Shawarma and Beef Shawarma are delicious but I actually prefer the chicken because it's cheaper and comes with their zesty garlic sauce. Their fries are crispy and well-seasoned too! This place doesn't have much ambiance inside, but it's nice to eat outside. Only fair warning is that because it's popular now, you should definitely expect a wait. They told us it would take 25-30 minutes and ended up being almost 45 minutes, which is what knocked it down to 4 stars for me. I'm down to wait, just be honest about it up front. read more

I love the outdoor seating in the pleasant ambience, but the Shawarma is excellent. I had to beef and my friend had the chicken and we had to have some all natural yogurt drink to accommodate it. The service was very quick and I have to tell you I definitely will be coming back here. The food was delicious. I love sitting out front on the sidewalk with my friend Enjoying each delicious bite welcoming the next. read more

I've heard that this place gets super packed and was anticipating an hour long wait but we went for dinner on a Thursday night around 7 and waited maybe 15-30 minutes between ordering and getting our food, so overall not bad at all! They also have a small parking lot in the back which was nice and the restaurant's patio where we ate was a nice place to spend the evening. My friends and I got the chicken shawarma combos and the beef shawarma combos and while both dishes were amazing, I think we all loved the chicken just a little bit more. Definitely worth the hype! read more

Dama grill is a cool kebab and shawarma spot on venice blvd. There's plenty of seating and the have multiple menu displays and self service station. Now my biggest gripe is i order one wrap and fries and it took 40 mins to come. Multiple people came in after me and got food before me. I was on lunch break and didn't get a chance to eat. I got the Xander Wrap its chicken fries spicy garlic sauce on it and the wrap was grilled. The chicken had a nice easy char it was juicy and tender nice flavors. The spicy garlic sauce is nice and juicy. The fries were well done crispy but definitely lacked seasoning. Would i go back and try it maybe the wait was just too long in my opinion for the amount of food I ordered. read more

Oh boy......I am very pissed right now. I was so excited to try this place. It's been about 45 minutes and I've finally calmed down. I placed my order via kiosk. There are 4 people working there. An older gentleman in the back, cooking kabobs. Another gentleman making the shawarma. A guy that seems to be prepping and expediting and the lady in the front. I'm painting a picture...stay with me. After placing my order I stood at the door which is an elevated position, watching all the magic happen in the kitchen. The lady at the front was getting the orders together, bagging them up and getting customers out. It is now 12:15pm. They opened at 12pm and there's 13 people waiting to order or have ordered. It's busy. As the lady at the front is getting orders together, one of the shawarma wraps fall out of the bag, onto the floor. She reaches to pick it up. She tells the prepper guy that she needs a new one because it fell on the floor and hands it to him. He then takes it to the back to put it down. At this point I'm wondering why she and/or the guy just didn't throw it away. That was my first thought. It should've been a reflex to toss it.out. I'm still standing by the door watching all of this happen. The prepper guy is now back at his station for a few then proceeds to go back to the area with the warp that fell on the floor is sitting. He unwrapped it, dusted it off and re-wrapped it. I'm watching this happen live in 4K. He grabbed it, carried it to his station, went to the griddle where there were wraps cooking and counted them and then back to his station. He then put it in the bag and placed it on the front counter and told the lady that it was with order 6. Guess what......I'M ORDER 6. I'm in absolute disbelief right now. In the same amount of time it to him to fake like he was making another one, he could have made another one. I always knew that some restaurants did this type of thing, but I've never seen it in real life. As the lady packs my bag and put the dropped item in there she says "number 6". I beeline to counter and tell her to give me bag. I look at it and show here that this is the one she dropped. She said no...he made another one. I said no he didn't I watched him. That's the same one. She asks if I wanted them to make me another. I said no.....don't worry about and walked out. I was so angry I just left. I didn't even think to ask for my money back, I was that mad. On the way home I saw a homeless guy and gave the bag to him. That was a $45 plus tip order down the drain. If you choose to eat here, it's on you....I'm not telling you not to but keep an eye on the people that work there. This should deserve a call to the health department. If I felt like it would do any good, I would. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. 12/30/25 read more

We went to Dama Grill, a Syrian-owned spot that serves Syrian-style shawarmas. I found it on TikTok, and since we love Syrian shawarma and it's close to our neighborhood, we figured we'd check it out. We ordered the Xanders Shawarma (chicken shawarma with spice sauce, creamy garlic sauce and crispy fries) and the Syrian-style beef shawarma. We also got chocolate pistachio baklava and a side of fries. The Xander shawarma was definitely the best thing we got. The chicken was super juicy and flavorful. I just wish it had pickles and that spicy sauce. It needed that extra kick. Still, I'd get it again for sure. The Syrian-style beef shawarma was kind of a letdown. It didn't have the same punch. Maybe there was less meat, or it just didn't have enough sauce or spice, but it felt dry and kind of bland. I couldn't really taste any marinade either, which was disappointing. The garlic sauce, tahini, and pomegranate molasses were all solid. The garlic sauce especially added a lot to both wraps. The fries were really crispy and well-seasoned. I'd have those again, no question. The chocolate pistachio baklava, though, was not it. It came out warm, which was nice, but there was barely any flavor. It was just syrupy and heavy, without any real sweetness or richness. I wouldn't get that again. Would I go back? Maybe, if I was already in the area. But I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Solid looking chicken shawarma wrap -- thin, lengthy and grilled well. The taste was pretty good, you could taste the freshness, but as much as I love different sauces, this one was a bit too saucy for me, which took away from tasting the chicken shawarma itself. All in all, still a valid shawarma wrap for sure. The spot is a hole-in-the-wall with some tables and outside patio, on a very busy segment of Venice blvd. The customer service was pretty good and there is some parking in the back. When in the area, worth a try. read more

Wow. Saw an ad for this place on IG and decided to switch up my Friday lunch. And HOLY! Extremely happy I did. I got the chicken Shawarma wrap combo. The flavor is really, really delicious. They finish the wrap on the grill and you taste the char, works amazing with rest of flavors. Super juicy, smoky, hot chicken with pickles and garlic sauce , plus a Pom molasses drizzle. Everything tasted amazing. O! Don't forget EXTRA garlic sauce. It's better than Cava's, super creamy and packs a flavor punch. Only reason this isn't 5 is because the restaurant space is horrible. 3 measly tables, run down look to it, staff somewhat attentive, but not really. It's self order kiosks. Food makes up for it.

Saw on social how popular this spot is. I went during off hours so was hoping wouldn't have to wait too long and was really into trying a Syrian style meat wrap. It's a sort of bleak atmosphere but that would never deter me or affect my opinion of the food. Ordered at the touchscreen inside. It was a very long wait for the food. I don't like paying more for pickup through the food apps, I don't typically support those companies. Not sure you can currently order via Toast which charges the same as in store orders. Toast wasn't taking orders for Dama when I looked at it. It's a very small kitchen area and they are busy (although not when I was there!! but still a very long wait) so I understand the general timing issue. Always be prepared to wait I guess. I ordered a chicken wrap with tahini on the side. The cook didn't put any garlic sauce on my wrap, super disappointing. It's a very small wrap. See photo next to small water bottle for reference. With tip I paid over $14. Maybe the large wrap is a better deal. The meat itself was very good, moist and tasty. I may go back at some point to try other items. read more

Delicous shawarma spot. We tried the chicken shawarma wrap with garlic sauce and pomegranate molasses and it was fire. Only thing is service is slow, we ordered in store and it took 30-35 min for our 2 wraps with fries to be ready. Not sure if this is normal. We went ~20 min after opening and there was only a few people ahead of us. Small space with a few tables indoors and outdoors for sit down.
