HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!!…read more I've been eating fast food for nearly a week and I was craving REAL food. I found this place on Google Maps and then checked the Yelp. Instantly the photos got me SO HUNGRY. I used to really love wraps but I didn't know any good spots near me until this place. the co-owner, Greg, made me the chicken Mediterranean wrap and OMG. That chicken is juicyyy, the chipotle garlic aioli is delicious, everything about it was awesome. It's also HUGE. 10/10 will definitely come back. Also, this is a small business--the owner is literally the one cooking. Show them some love!! Great places deserve to be celebrated.

I even liked the tomato inside and I don't really like tomatoes lol. And the lavash bread on the outside was perfectly crispy and tasted so fresh as well. This is a quaint little spot, best for solo diners or very small groups. The man cooking and taking orders was very nice too. Definitely recommend!

They have 4 different kinds and I decided to go with a chicken shawarma wrap. It was of very good size, wrapped in a grilled lavash bread with beautiful char marks. The shawarma was very juicy, tender and packed with flavor. The chicken was drizzled by their white sauce and accompanied by fresh lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and red onions. Each bite was decadent and yummy. The crispiness of the lavash and the tenderness of the marinated chicken went hand in hand and created an awesome, delicious meal. The place is a food truck type of spot with 2 plastic tables for dining right there on the spot. You can see one of the chefs cooking kabob on open fire just to the side of the truck and they even have a portable faucet for washing your hands. There are also 5-6 parking spots for your convenience. And finally, the customer service was friendly and attentive. I felt right at home. Great spot!

Their Stand Burger is juicy perfection--perfectly cooked patty, fresh toppings, and those signature sauces make it stand out from the usual fast-casual places. Tried the Red Curry Chicken Sandwich recently and it was packed with flavor--spicy, savory, and not too heavy. Portions are generous, and the sides (those fries!) are addictive. What really makes it special though is the service. Shoutout to Justin (the manager)--he's super hands-on, friendly, and genuinely cares about making sure everything's great. He checked in on us during our visit, and you can tell the whole team is on point because of that leadership. The place is clean, the vibe is chill and welcoming, and it's consistently impressive every time I come back (this was my 4th or 5th visit). If you're in the Valley craving a killer burger or sandwich with a premium twist, definitely hit up The Stand NoHo. Worth every penny--highly recommend!"

A lot of people think shawarma comes from other Middle Eastern countries, but its roots are in the Holy Land. This one is made from Wagyu beef, and the spices taste just like back home.

It is a cozy spot, with just two tables and some barstools seating. The food was absolutely splendid: - Moroccan Cigars: 5/5 GET THESE! They were rich and savory, with a delightful blend of spices and a perfect crunch. - Arayes: 5/5 The ground wagyu was bursting wil flavor and still had great texture. The onions and cilantro softened how savory it was, and the toasted pita was the perfect vessel. - The OG Wagyu Beef Shawarma - Half: 4.5/5 They are generous with the meat, which has so much flavor. It was tender with the fat fully rendered. The pita bread was pillowy soft amd fresh, but still had structure to hold everything together. - Fried Cauliflower: 4/5 The spice blend fits the cauliflower profile and the texture was great. The staff was hustling, non-stop, but still took the time to engage when I was ordering, answering questions and providing suggestions. It made the overall meal better and was appreciated. The location was noticeably clean, from the table tops to the floors. It made it inviting when we walked in. It is a bit of a drive, but I will find a reason to return...soon.

It was full and the whole parking situation with the metered is a cluster fuck. Not part of the restaurant....lol... Found street parking along Moorpark which was only a little walk to the restaurant. There was a band setting up when we arrived which could also be the reason for a full parking lot. I overheard someone saying that certain days they have live music which is perfect as it's starting to heat up. Nice dining experience with live music. We ended up sitting inside for the ac which I would have love to be outside but it was fine. Breakfast had ended but the lunch menu was quite good. I've alway ordered at the counter each visit which I'm not even sure they have waitress service with order. After ordering, a number is give where it's placed on the table. As there was a couple of us, a few dishes was had. I alway go for the mimosas deal, 3 for the price of 2. Food, the Cobb salad which I forgot to add protein to it but it was still decent. That came with their vinaigrette dressing but a side of ranch was also asked for. The Brie and turkey sandwich with a side of the macaroni salad. Sandwiches were quite tasty with the toasted bread and how everything melted together. The burger which was pretty big in size. Tasty from what I was informed and served with a side of fries. Lastly, the avocado toast with tomatoes. Simple and cheerful. Plus you need an extra side order of streak fries with ranch. Both ketchup and their avocado dip was brought out as well. Food was good, the service was great. Both with the gal at the register and the waitress bringing out the food. It's pet friendly which is also nice to have the little pup with us. Forgot, they also have a nice display case of sweets on hand. And cookies that were massive. Clearly one was had before the meal. Sweets beforehand is always a good idea. Great service, nice drink, live music and a lovely crowd. What a nice way to enjoy lunch on a Tuesday afternoon.

They have a small parking lot out front but it's quite small, I found a parking spot a couple blocks away. It's on a busy street though so beware of fast traffic. They have lots of outdoor seating in the patio, it's mostly shaded and seems like a great spot to come and do work. They also have a big indoor space as well. You order inside and they bring your food out to you. I got the Chinese chicken salad. It came out pretty quickly and had a nice presentation.

Had the chicken shawarma and the beef shawarma (mild for both because I didn't know their spice levels). Both were great but the beef was definitely more flavorful. They are juicy and very filling. They have cabbage inside which is unusual but it works. I got the pitas as they recommended - tomato pita for the beef and spinach pita for the chicken (I recommend asking them). Got all the side sauces so we could try them and they were fantastic. Also ordered a side of fries which were hot crispy and tasty. I would suggest pre ordering as it can take a little while until your order is ready. But it's so worth it. Prices are pretty reasonable for the sizes you get. I am intrigued to try other items such as their beef stroganoff. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations.
