    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!

    Beef Shawarma

    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

    One of the best foods in town very clean very professional. Service is on the top. Everything is fresh. I know these guy's from The first day when they start they still keeping same quality of food. I really recommend you this restaurant. Also The best french fries I've ever tasted.

    Clean interior.

    This place was a lovely surprise. They have a great menu. Everything looks clean including the open kitchen. The food is very very fresh. And seasoned so well. It's reasonably priced and the service was very welcoming. I didn't get a picture of the food cuz we dug in but i can assure you the presentation was beautiful and the food was a 10.

    Chicken tenders plate. All white meat.

    Delicious and fresh. Food came out hot and beautifully arranged. Nothing too oily or over spiced. This is the healthy soul food I needed today.

I think they tried to press it cause it had a crispy bottom but even with a slop of garlic sauce in the middle, it didn't hold it together cause it was sooooooo dry. The $5 eggplant meze came in a large to go plate with pickles but also dry (how?!?). The $3 meat pie was cute but nothing special or nothing a proper pastry place can't beat. My order came with the traditional bag of pita (which is nice but all legit places do this); I'm only mentioning this cause I thought this changed with $3 pita side option on the menu. And they gave me the cute little baklava (2) they hand out as a freebie dessert (but also not as good as it used to be). Really really sad that it's nowhere near what it used to be almost a decade ago when I lived in Noho. I come here almost once every ~ 3 months and look forward to my takeouts when I get the chance, but after being disappointed consistently, not likely. Good luck tho! I like what you've done outside.

We ordered fairly quickly and he asked if we would like it to be served family style (single platter opposed to individual plates) so we agreed. Slowly there were other families showing up after us. Our order consisted of chicken, pork ribs and beef Lula. We asked for water, soda, lemonade and kompot. We got it all besides the lemonade. The soda was canned and the water was Kirkland water. No problem there but I would expect it to be priced as such. We got a salad and a hummus side. The hummus was mediocre at best. The Caesar salad was pretty good and the bread was nice and toasty. Unfortunately we did not come for the sides, we came for a meal. Around 6:05 my wife and i looked at each other and agreed we would leave shortly if the food didn't come out. By this time there was 2 other tables that had received their orders and they had come after us. The atmosphere is nice since it is outside but with that being said you are going against the elements and anything that it comes with. Today these elements brought us a rat that was walking along the retaining wall. Fortunately there was some sort of metal gate that blocked the rat from freely coming to our side. We're just waiting around and there's an employee that asks us if everything is fine which then my wife replies "we don't have any of our food". He goes to check and tells us we're gonna get our food shortly. We waited around and 6:15 we decided to leave. Unfortunate experience since we had family coming from Texas that saw this place on Instagram so they were excited to try. Around 6:30 my wife gets a call from the other party members and they let her know that they brought out the meats with no sides. At that point they were fed up as well and simply left and paid for what we ate. TLDR: bad service, other families got food before us, over an hour wait for food, saw a rat running around.

    I love Amir's Falafel!…read more I've lived in Studio City for 17 years, and I've always gone to Amir's when I've had the craving for falafel or Shawarma. Located on the corner of Ventura and Colfax, Amir's has fantastic meat on a spit and Israeli salads. I love their carrot salad, their smoked eggplant, and their tomato and cucumber salad. Meats are well seasoned, juicy, and the portions are generous. Their falafel balls are well seasoned, and their hummus has a texture that I really enjoy -- it's got a tiny bit of grit to it instead of being perfectly smooth. I lived in Israel when I was in college, and I find their food to be very authentic to what I used to eat on Ben Yehuda Street. The parking lot can get a little crowded, but it's free parking, which is a plus. Service is friendly and pretty quick! There are so many great falafel and Shawarma places in the valley...but my heart belongs to Amir's.

The service is quick, the prices are fair, and the whole place has a friendly, neighborhood vibe. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or picking up lunch for the office, Amir's Falafel is a spot you can always count on. Highly recommend!
