    Chicken Kebab Plate
    Amy N.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this place! It's a small fast food kind of establishment. Food was solid and service was very fast. We ordered the chicken kabob plate and the beef shawarma wrap, both of which were quite good. I wish the beef shawarma was a little softer but otherwise it was good. There is a limited time offer for BOGO wraps but we sadly didn't see it until after we had ordered.

    Food is just ok. It used to be better. Today it seemed somewhat dry. The shawarma plate includes a generous portion. I do not recommend the shawarma fries. The service is ok and the ambiance is very casual. There is a kiosk tablet to order on your own.

    Combo plate !

    The last time I visited this location was about 3+ years ago and it was called Z falafel. I see that it's still Mediterranean food but now it's (rebranded???) to killer kabab and it looks like z falafel moved to another location. Both their websites look the same. Sad to say but quality is not the same and the portions were like half of what I remembered from my last visit. Flavor of the meat was super light, did not really taste much seasoning. I don't see myself coming back. The place was clean and the service was quick.

    Beef Kofta Pita Wrap

    BEWARE MISLEADING PICTURES! Ordered a sandwich/wrap pictured with lettuce, tomato, and more... got just a kabob wrapped in thin dough. So misleading I got a refund from Uber.

    quite red and moist in the center, and the texture looks a bit mushy. If I get sick I just want to post this for my record... smh ima throw this $29 to the trash

    We chose this place because dude it was walking distance from our other event so we wouldn't have to re-park. It was clean and bright. The staff were friendly. You order on a tap screen which is easy enough and they bring bout the good. I requested water which they provided but they had no ice. The shawerma fries were ok though the fries were not crisp, the salmon plate was ok though the rice tasted bland, the chicken kabab wrap was ok though the pickles in it had a strange texture. The best items we tried were the grape leaves and the garlic sauce that accompanied the food. The food was satisfying though not the best Mediterranean food I've had.

    Chicken Shawarma  Wrap

    Came here because the reviews were really good, and I left disappointed and underwhelmed. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap. The photos made it look extremely appealing, however what I received was not anything like what was advertised. The Chicken Shawarma is supposed to have fries in it and there was literally only two fries in my wrap, the chicken was dry, the wrap was dry, there was hardly any sauce on it, and the flavor was extremely underwhelming. The lady that assisted me with ordering also prepared the meal and the customer service was equivalent to what I was served.

    Had the pleasure of visiting @zfalafel8 during my work lunch hour for their delicious Chicken Shawarma and Chicken Kabob ! It was served with pita, hummus, rice, pickled veggies, and falafel on this aesthetic square plate! Just take a look at these platings!! They have two locations in Downtown LA so if you're nearby make sure to visit your closest location. My coworker Alexis and I are huge fans of Mediterranean food so we devoured our meals! We still had food leftover so we were able eat more for dinner!! location #1 806 W 8th St Unit A Los Angeles, CA 90017 location #2 725 S Hill St Los Angeles, CA 90014 FEATURING-- Chicken Shawarma Chicken Kabob

    I ordered to go and the food was tasteless. Not worth the $20 for the mixed shawarma. You can skip this one. It does come with rice and a pita.

    Good place and good service. The wraps are very small and skinny so I would opt for a plate or a bowl if I was hungry. Very clean and safe.

    Chicken Shwarma wrap is too small. Not even a kids meal. Even two wraps isn't a meal. And it isn't quite that tasty either.

We stopped in on a Sunday around 11:30, no line and very quick service! Finished eating and left around 12:05 so we must've lucked out with no line. We got two double cheese burgers and the loaded fries. The burger had impressively thin patties with a really nice char on the meat skirt, well seasoned, and perfectly crispy. The buns were quite small and a bit smooshed, but they were soft. It came with some fry sauce and pickles as well, overall a good burger. The fries had a good amount of toppings (cheese onions, fry sauce) and were nice and crispy. Kinda wish the onions were slightly more grilled for some extra flavor! Would probably go for plain next time as the loaded fries and burger together had similar flavors The interior has a few benches for seating and single bar type seating around the perimeter - I could see it filling up if there's a big line of people. Would like to try the chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts next time we stop by!

I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

These are thiiiicck. I've been wanting to come here for a very long time, but for whatever reason, I just haven't had a chance. I actually even went to their other location into Topanga a while back (which is no longer there along with lots of other places in that ill fated food court). I also saw that they recently made a list of one of the best burgers in the country/world. And while I feel those list are pretty subjective, I do think that this is one of the best burgers I personally have had.

However, the good news is that they do have three other locations and if you have never been, I suggest you check Kroft out if you love burgers, especially smashed. The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.
