    Chicken Wrap
    Grace T.

    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!

    Chicken Wrap Combo

    Really excited to try out Dama Grill. Parking is limited but they have several adjacent streets with parking available. I ordered a chicken shawarma combo with fries, garlic sauce, and pickled veggies. The shawarma was juicy, sauced well, and cut into bite size pieces. Wish it was more than just one bite per piece but I understand this is how it's usually made. The sauce was nice and garlicky, and the pickled veggies gave the shawarma a good kick of acidity. And the fries were fresh and crispy. Definitely a solid shawarma restaurant.

    "10/10 would get drunk off that pomegranate molasses"... god bless the syrians-- that's what my russian friend said.... and my chinese foreign exchange student friend? her eyes WIDENED. she suddenly stepped into the world of shawarma and now wants to go every single day. i get that mproud ego flush as an arab when i introduce BOMB middle eastern food (no pun intended). LOOK AT THE GARLIC DRIPPING FROM THE CHICKEN. and it's SOOOO HARD to come across pomogranite molasis SLATHER ME IN IT. and the chicken shawarma was so perfectly crisp, the PERFECT amount of sauce, and the BREAD was actually the flakey buttery texture. suddenly, buy me a plane ticket to Damascus, bc i never wanna leave this establishment. thank god i go to ucla pls never get me further than a 5 mile radius from dama grill YALLA YALLA LETS EAT HABIBIS!!!

    The taste was okay, it was more tortilla and garlic sauce heavy rather than the chicken shawarma itself. The chicken tasted a bit dry as well. Always seen this place on social media so maybe I got it on an off day. Will give it another try again in the future to see if it's better.

    I tried this restaurant for the first time and was very disappointed. The shawarma had almost no flavor and was extremely oily. It wasn't enjoyable, and we couldn't even finish our meal. The restaurant itself looked poorly maintained, and the ambience was not inviting. Overall, the food and dining experience were disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend this place.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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

    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!

    waited about 30 minutes after ordering on a weekend during lunch time. shawarma was good, i wish the chicken had a bit more flavor, great fries

    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.

    Where is the pomegranate molasses drizzle?

    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

Let me explain: The viral chicken cesar wrap is good not great and certainly not the best thing I ever eaten!! For $ 19.5, you get a rather small burrito where the added falafels are shredded so thin that you just can't taste them. The chicken breast is good quality but the spicy chipotle sauce that comes with it has no business here. If the price was around $ 15, with more chicken and falafel, and a tahini based sauce, the burrito might have earned 4-5 stars. Very easy to make at home by the way, just get some rotisserie chicken, a flour tortilla and some salad. I would add some toum or a nice lemony tahini.

Once you're seated, they bring out a few complimentary side dishes (Kimchi, pickled carrot, seaweed, salad and their signature dry spice seasoning. Ordering is easy through the QR code menu. Depending on what you order, some skewers are grilled by the kitchen while others are cooked on the automatic rotating grill right at your table, which adds to the fun dining experience. This visit, I tried: * Lamb Kebab (10 pcs) * Mala Lamb Kebab (5 pcs) * Beef Kebab (10 pcs) * Beef Tendon (5 pcs) * Chicken Heart (5 pcs) * Chicken Gizzard (5 pcs) * Chicken Wings * Quail * Matsutake Mushroom * Green Chives * Cucumber * Eggplant * Pan Fried Bun with Pork & Vegetable The lamb kebab and quail remain my two must-order items after all these years. The lamb is tender and flavorful without having a strong gamey taste, making it a good option even for people who don't usually eat lamb. The mala lamb kebab simply adds a nice layer of numbing spice which I don't find it special. The beef kebab was good as well, although I personally prefer the lamb. Chicken hearts and gizzards were decent. The beef tendon wasn't my favorite this time and didn't seem as fresh. Chicken wings were solid and nicely seasoned. For vegetables, I actually enjoyed the cucumber more than the chives and eggplant. The matsutake mushroom was good, though not particularly memorable. If you're a fan of meat buns, don't skip the pan-fried pork and vegetable bun. The bun itself was soft and fluffy, and I especially enjoyed the savory sauce paired on the side. One helpful tip: after 6 PM, you can park for free in the bank parking lot across the street, which makes finding parking much easier. After more than 15 years, Feng Mao continues to be a reliable spot for skewers, especially if you're dining with friends and want to try a variety of grilled meats and vegetables.
