Finding a good shawarma it hard to find one you have to travel to Glendale or the San Fernando Valley to get a good Shawarma. I notice going to the Dollar Tree to shop a new restaurant just open it's a shawarma store called the Shwrma co in Montebello. My wife and I went to the shawarma we enjoy Mediterranean including shawarma, we step in the restaurant this a unique place I know shawarma always serve on pita bread but your choice of sub bread and lavash flat bread. We looking at the menu display and decided to we order the Chicken shawarma combo on Lavash bread it come with Mediterranean side salad. We sat down and waited for our order then the owner came and bring us complimentary toasted bread and hummus we thank him. We try the hummus it was really good fresh we enjoy very much and we spead the hummus on toasted bread it good. They brought our meal it so good especially the shawarma it have a nice grilled line on the lavish bread and the salad looks good. The chicken shawarma have a good rich flavor that we like from a good shawarma and Lavash bread was perfectly grilled thar seal the flavor. The salad was really good we enjoy it. Overall we enjoy the food at shwrma co we need come try spicy Mexicano shawarma sandwich and other items. We thanks to the staff they very nice including the owner. Thank you.

The sandwich is lightly grilled. So delish.

22 days in business and counting. Welcome to the SGV. Especially glad you are here bec that chicken lavash sandwich was sooooo good. 5/5 THE FOOD. Big thumbs up!!! I heard the cook chopping up the chicken and romaine lettuce and cucumbers and carrots and building me a tasty beautiful sandwich. Very shareable. Very delish...I liked the white sauce but there are other sauces you can try...I went with something akin to garlic spread. Look...if you want a gyro, or something with pita, or baklava, or tziziki sauce, or taboule ... you won't find it here...but the middle eastern flavors are unmistakably present in unbelievably good schwarma. 10/5. The menu is simple and clear. Schwarma on a subway/grinder/hoagie or schwarma wrapped in lavash. I got the chicken lavash combo to go. Easy to swap out the salad it comes with for hummus and u pick your soda which comes with the combo from the frig yourself. The hummus is gooooood. 5/5 ...and it came in a small brown paper bag with six slices of baguette. Loved loved loved this unexpected chance of pace from the usual middle eastern pita bread or pita chips. The chicken was tender, flavorful...I was surprised to see slivers of carrots and chopped lettuce ( maybe it was aromaine) Big huge happy shoutout for the compostible utensils. Very thoughtful and environmentally friendlier. Thank you for not going with Styrofoam containers. Ambiance! Tasteful colors of dark charcoal gray and the muted orange...fast food joints never looked so nice...all the lighting was beautiful, especially the romantic and warm tones of the torches that lit up the al fresco dining area. Dining room is modern sleek even hip in a quiet way. I would even say the al fresco dining area gave off a romantic vibe...big thumbs up for design anesthetics! 5/5 Service. 5/5. Helpful friendly patient staff. Big thumbs up for the young good-looking service staff and kitchen staff. Yes I saw you there in that spotless kitchen. Highly recommend. Especially in early evening for that lovely warm flickering lamplight. Check out this place. You won't be disappointed. But definitely come knowing it's all schwarma and lavash or schwarma on a hoagie/grinder/subway bread. Looking forward to returning for a very enjoyable sandwich.

This place just opened. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their hummus, chicken sandwich, and beef lavash to try. The hummus came with some bread and was really smooth, rich, slightly nutty, and lemony. The chicken sandwich reminded me of a Banh mi with that bread and had tender juicy roasty chicken with fresh crunchy veggies and a yogurty like sauce. The beef lavash also had some veggies with meat but this time in a tomatoey slightly spicy sauce. Overall this place is lowkey pretty good Hummus $9.99 Chicken sando $13.99 Beef lavash $15.99

Shwrma Co. is brand new and serving up fresh shawarma, both beef/lamb and chicken, cooked on a vertical spit--the proper way! I tried the chicken shawarma and it was flavorful, fresh, and seasoned really well without being overly salty. The veggies and hummus were fresh too, and everything tasted like it was just prepared. The owners and staff are very friendly and welcoming. I definitely need to come back and try the shawarma sandwiches and wraps because they looked so good. Inside has a chill, clean vibe. They just opened on 9/9 and are located next to Dollar Tree, behind Kalaveras. Plenty of parking too. Great new addition to the area. Highly recommend giving them a try!

This was our first time here, and it definitely won't be our last! The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful, and we really enjoyed the comfortable seating options both indoors and outdoors. Everything came together to create a great dining experience, their service was great and we're already looking forward to coming back again!

We stopped by yesterday and really liked this place. The shawarma was fresh, juicy, and very flavorful. We also liked the portions and everything tasted fresh. The service was friendly and we didn't have to wait too long. Definitely a nice spot for shawarma. Friendly staff, clean spaces, very nice Mediterranean atmosphere. Prices are good too. We'll be back for sure!

The staff and business owner was super nice! He was super grateful that we came to eat at his restaurant and boy was it great. He even made our beverages free which was really nice! The chicken shawarma sandwich was amazing! And the hummus was one of the best I've had! Definitely coming back! =]

Had such a great experience here! The customer service was amazing everyone was so polite, friendly, and welcoming. We ordered the chicken shawarma combo, and everything was delicious. The chicken was so juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I especially loved the hummus and the fresh bread, and the salad was really good too. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The place also clean and comfy. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the food. The food was not only delicious but the service was excellent as well. Everyone was so kind. This place will definitely be a go to spot for me.

The menu is very vague, it doesn't give you full details about what is in the food. I inquired about the kebab plate, but they didn't have any kebabs to sell. I asked what type of beef was in the lavash, they couldn't tell me. So I gambled and ordered 3 shawarma lavash. As I am waiting I overheard the cashier explain to another customer about not having kebabs. The cashier said their grill didn't pass inspection. I found that a bit odd. I live 3 minutes away. The food was barely warm especially if I waited 17 minutes for it. The quality of the meat is not what I expected. I've had shawarma several times at various restaurants, this isn't it. This was more like a fatty low quality meat that was tough. My total with tip was $60.17. Not worth it in my opinion.

The food was tasteless, the chicken was undercooked, and the tomatoes in the garden salad tasted spoiled. The garlic sauce was sour and tasted nothing like the garlic sauce I'm used to from Zankou. The turnips also had a very funky taste. I've been to several Zankou locations, and unfortunately, this privately owned location was nothing like the others I've experienced. If you're craving Zankou, I would recommend making the extra drive to one of the other locations. It's worth it.

Plenty of stalls. 2nd, there aren't many Mediterranean that comes fresh instead of like commercial fast food. I love that I walked in and they're still doing food prep in the back and yelling from the back I'll be right there. That's a strong Mom and Pop vibe kind of restaurant. The restaurant is clean and air conditioning was cold. So dine in was right on. I wanted to try everything on the menu, but landed in the 3 meat order. Which I chose filet mignon, lamb chops, and ribs. The 2nd plate was the beef lule and chicken lule. I wanted to try 5 meats to compare which one I liked. Lastly, I topped the order off with the feta fries. I had it once in the past from another restaurant and really liked the creamy feta, and red onion combo with the fries. Overall, it's a good restaurant if you need a Mediterranean fix.

I've driven past John's Kabob on Atlantic Blvd many times and finally decided to give it a try when…read moreI needed an early lunch. The fact that they open at 10:00 AM is a huge plus compared to other local spots that don't open until 11:00. I ordered the Chicken Kabob ($19.99) via DoorDash. The order arrived exactly as advertised, and I appreciated that they included utensils, which is becoming a rarity these days. The meal includes two skewers of chicken with two sides; I chose rice and hummus. It would be great if they offered an option to add a side salad, as that was missing from the menu. Regarding the food, the chicken was well-seasoned, and the pita was served warm and soft. The garlic sauce was solid, and the rice was nice and moist--even with the addition of noodles, which was a unique touch I didn't mind. The hummus was a bit oily, likely from the travel, but the flavor was still good. My only real complaint was the peppers on the kabob; they didn't taste fresh and had an unpleasant burnt flavor. Overall, it was a solid meal and a good reminder not to judge a book by its cover. I'd definitely be open to ordering from here again.

We dined in at John's Kabob for lunch today, and we tried their combo plates that we can choose any…read moretwo meats (Chicken, Beef, Gyro, Kafta, Shrimp, or Lamb) with the choices of two sides. (Salad, Fries, Rice, Hummus, or Veggies). We ordered the following combo plates: 1. Two meat combo plate (chicken & beef), with fries and salad as sides. 2. Two meat combo plate (Beef & Kafta), with fries and rice. 3. Two meat combo plate (Beef & Lamb), with fries and rice. 4. Two fountain drinks Most of the people got to-go at this restaurant, so it was pretty empty when we dined in; however, they were very busy because they had so many to-go orders. Our food came in about 15 minutes later. Our orders also came with pita bread and yogurt. The pita bread was soft and perfect to dip in the Greek yogurt. I liked my beef Kabob; it was very flavorful. But the meat quality of beef and chicken was not very tender; they were a bit chewy. The Kafta was a Mediterranean dish consisting of ground meat; this one was ground beef. It was not bad. The fries and rice were also good. Make sure to order your food earlier because you may need to wait for a while. The service was friendly. The cashier was very helpful; she helped us to refill our drinks and also followed up on my fries that they forgot earlier.

The The Filet Mignon Platter was our fav item! This was tender, juicy and had a smoky finish to it. This was not at all dry and I absolutely love how well-seasoned it was. The Green Olive Platter is a must try if you are feeling like sampling the different meats. It has chicken, seasoned kafka, beef, crispy falafel and tender dolmas (stuffed grape leaves). I love how diverse this dish is. Both platters are served with a side of salad and some seasoned rice. The Lamb Pita Sandwich has spiced tender lamb pieces and wrapped in a pita bread with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and their creamy tzatziki sauce. I love how good everything tastes in each bite. We had to also get the Fattouche Salad which is colorful with cucumbers, tomatoes and fresh greens. I love the toasted pita chips that act as croutons and the tangy citrus house dressing makes the salad whole. It tastes absolutely wonderful when you're munching on all the meats. We also ordered the Falafel patties which have the perfect balance of a deeply crunchy, golden exterior and a moist, soft green interior. It's spiced and tastes great with the sauce. For dessert we tried the Kunafa and this was served warm. It's not too sweet and I love the flavor. The Green Olive is a casual counter-service spot which makes for a great spot if you want something delicious and quick. The staff are organized and work well to make sure the food you get tastes amazing and you get it in a timely manner. I love how welcoming everyone is. Clean and bustling environment. Honestly, I adored the smoky char on the meats and it was a great experience visiting The Green Olive. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for Mediterranean cuisine!

These many people can only mean one thing, that the food is delicious! I loved their huge menu with food for anyone's tastes. As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate. The ambiance had average loud noise level since it is small on the inside, however they have plenty of outdoor seating which is where we sat. Even though there are other Mediterranean places close to me, I can see myself going to this location because of their expansive menu.
