I have been wanting to try this place for a while now. I guess today was the day. I walked in at 3:45pm and was greeted by Vlad, the host/server. I was told that this place is open for a month. I did see reviews on Yelp from last year. This is a family owned business and it truly delivered on every level. It took me a minute to decide what I wanted to eat and went with their combo meal. I ordered one beef kebab, 2 chicken thighs, (small yet filling) Hummus, Cucumber, tomato salad that came with onions, cilantro, and the dressing I believe was lemon juice mixed in with something else. Also came with garlic sauce. Both meats came with a nice size of rice. The food was very fresh, delicious, & flavorful. Service by Argam, and the rest of the staff was on point. I ordered bottled water and Argam didn't charge me for it. I also got a complimentary dessert. Delicious Raspberry custard slice of cake. Place was very clean, shared with many other businesses and had a gender neutral restroom. Also had great music playing in the restaurant. They have extensive menu options from kebabs, to pizza, wraps, to sandwiches, seafood, salad, dessert, beverages and even make their own fresh bread. Last but not least, they deliver, do catering, pick up and 3rd party orders. Thank you all and will definitely be back next time I am craving for some great food from this place!! read more

Had a really great experience at this place. The kebab was honestly one of the best I've had in a while -- super juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, not too fancy but very comfortable. Service was also on point -- friendly, attentive, and made everything easy without being over the top. You can tell they care about the food and the overall experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially if you're craving a good, kebab. read more

The best shawarma in all of Los Angeles! The quality of the ingredients is outstanding, the flavors are phenomenal. The beef shawarma was absolutely delicious--high-quality, flavorful meat, perfectly balanced with fresh vegetables, and the yogurt sauce on the side was incredible. The BBQ vegetables were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. They even served us complimentary freshly baked bread, and it was unbelievably good. Everything tasted very fresh, authentic, and made with care. 10/10--I can't wait to come back! read more

A five star review for my 1,000th review! :) Was craving a kebab, and came here based on glowing reviews. Their food is amazing! The freshest lavash I've ever had. Got the beef kebab plate. The kebab is amazing, seasoned so well. The cucumber tomato salad was a knock out, wish I knew what's in the dressing! The plate also comes with a grilled tomato and jalapeno, not sure why about the latter. Too spicy for me. I'm used to longer grained, fluffier rice with kebabs, but this is a minor point. is mildly spicy, with cilantro I think. Not sure what the mildly spicy tomato sauce is for so I dipped the lavash in it and was a happy camper. I think there's cilantro in it. Instead of a chunk of onion, you get chopped onion to garnish. I love acid with this kind of plate. Prices are very reasonable. Pay with cash and pay less. The inside is pleasant and clean. Service is good and if you prefer outside eating, there are two tables. Parking was easy in this strip mall. Highly recommend Shawarma Gyro! read more

Shawarma BBQ Express - Mediterranean Near Me - Valley Village, California

I like it! Super puper we are so much love food from armenian and come from Glendale. Thank you !

We just discovered the most incredible little Mediterranean spot -- the kind of true hole-in-the-wall you almost don't want to tell anyone about because you're afraid it'll get too popular. But this one deserves to be shouted from the rooftops. From the moment you walk in, you can smell the warm spices and fresh bread. And let's talk about that bread... THE BEST PITA EVER. Not exaggerating. It comes out warm, pillowy, soft and airy on the inside -- the kind of pita that makes you question every other pita you've ever had. Tear it open and steam rises. It's perfect for scooping up silky hummus and wrapping around perfectly seasoned shawarma. Everything is homemade -- fresh herbs, rich olive oil, tender grilled meats, and vibrant salads that actually taste like they were chopped that morning. Nothing feels rushed or mass-produced. It feels like someone's grandmother is in the back making sure every plate leaves the kitchen with love. Service? Warm, welcoming, and genuinely proud of the food they're serving. If you love Mediterranean food -- or even if you think you've had great Mediterranean food -- do yourself a favor and go. Order extra pita. Trust me. You'll be dreaming about it lat read more

I found this gem of a restaurant recently via Grubhub. The food they delivered was absolutely delicious and they give generous portions as well. I really love their chicken lula kebab plate! It's so fresh and healthy. Everything from their meat, and their rice is so flavorful, their hummus is amazing! I highly recommend this place, you cannot go wrong! They even gave me complimentary bread and fries! That's how nice they are. Please give this place a try, you won't regret it! YUM!!!! read more

Got the chicken shawarma plate. Came with rice, salad, hummus, garlic sauce, and bread. It was a ton of food and all delicious.

Shawarma Gyro Mediterranean - Valley Village This family-owned gem on Laurel Canyon is all heart and flavor. The pork chops are smoky and tender, the halal chicken and beef are packed with bold, savory spices--and every bite feels like it was made with care. But what really sets this place apart is the customer service: warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. You're not just grabbing a meal here--you're being treated like family. Pro tip Pair your plate with their garlic sauce and ask about the daily specials. You won't regret it. the ambiance is so welcoming smells like home cooking read more

Shawarma BBQ Express - Clean interior. - Mediterranean Near Me - Valley Village, California

MY NEW SPOT!!! I can't say enough good things about this place. From the moment you walk in, you notice how spotless everything is -- not just tidy, but genuinely clean in a way that makes you instantly comfortable eating there. The service is just as impressive. Everyone is welcoming, patient, and genuinely kind, not rushed or transactional like a lot of quick spots in LA. You feel taken care of. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every bite tastes authentic, fresh, and homemade -- like the kind of meal someone's mom has been perfecting for years. The shawarma is juicy and perfectly seasoned, the gyro meat is tender and flavorful, and all the sides and sauces taste fresh and made in-house. Nothing tastes mass-produced. It's comforting, satisfying, and full of real flavor. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy your meal, this is easily one of the best spots in LA.

Food delicious!!!! Very pleasant dinner. Lamb chops the best. Price reasonable and service good.

We were looking for a new kebab place and found Shawarma Gyro. The service is friendly, but the food... It's delicious. Like, super delicious. I've had both the shawarma and the gyros with both pork and chicken. The pork gyro was amazing. My partner has tried several of the plates and the wings are excellent. read more

This is a great little spot to get shwarma and kebabs. It's expensive for the portions unfortunately. What I go with: Chicken shawarma plate is very good but small portion. Chicken kebab or beef kebab plates are good as well. The chicken kebab is the winner. I would stick with the chicken kebab plate but just know you will leave hungry. This type of plate for the price should come with two full kebabs instead of one kebab cut in half to make it look like two kebabs. Other then that the establishment is very clean, staff is friendly. read more

Place is nice and clean with a amaizing service and as for the food its just WOW DELICIOUS definitelly will come back for more

wow the food was amazing and fresh, I ordered beef wrap and loved it, great service and friendly people

I came with my family and we loved the food here! We will be coming back to try other food on the menu :)

So nice to have great Armenian food nearby. Shawarma, gyros, wraps and plates with all the sides. Chicken, beef, lamb and pork as well as veggies and all so tasty. My favorite is the wrap in lavash bread so thin that the meats really stand out. Either way you can't lose. It's very nicely appointed inside with a big kitchen and a display case showing what they have on skewers, ready to cook for you. I've had chicken, beef, filet mignon with ground beef and lamb fat, and all were delicious. I don't really have a favorite as everything is so good. Even a simple mix of peppers and mushrooms could make me a vegetarian. I don't know what they use for seasoning but it's right up my alley. read more

Amazing food! The service was really nice we got a shawarma and a beef pita and would definitely have it again. It was super clean inside and enjoyed everything. read more

Amazing BBQ. Very tasty meat. The shawarma is made with delicious Armenian BBQ, nothing like I've had before. You must try this at least once to understand how good it really is. read more

I wanted to grab an early lunch at this spot. When I pulled into the customer parking, someone stood up (I'm assuming the owner) and came outside only to begin berating me with profanities about not being able to read the sign... that said parking was for customers only. I didn't even get a chance to step out of my car and into the restaurant before this guy was out in my face about parking in front of his restaurant I was about to go into. I've never seen someone get this worked up and chase away a customer. Do not support this place. There are plenty of other places owned by people who don't chase their customers away because they don't like the way they look. A bummer this is in the neighborhood. read more

Best shawarma and kabobs in town. Highly recommended. Delicious food, excellent service, and fair pricing. Petros is the best. Thank you.
