If you blink, you might miss this place. There are some tables and chairs outside for seating. When this place claims to have the best shawarma in town, they are not joking, they absolutely do! I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the prices were very reasonable compared to the portion sizes. Got the chicken shawarma and hands down, one of the best that I've had in recent memory. If you are ever in the LA area, you have to stop here. This was my 3rd time in LA and 3rd time hitting this spot.

If you blink, you might miss this place it's a small hidden gem with no indoor seating, just a few fold-up tables on the sidewalk. We were on our way to Pantages Theatre and getting hungry when we almost passed it by, but decided to give it a try and we're so glad we did! To our amazement, this little spot was incredible. The flavors were amazing, and every bite was so good. The gentleman working there was super kind and accommodating, which made the experience even better. It's right on Hollywood Boulevard, so if you're in the area, definitely give it a try!

The outside of the restaurant is very easy to find

The food really tasted very authentic. The employee was so helpful and explaining everything. The service provided was amazing and the cost was very reasonable for the size of the sandwich. The taste of the sandwich was very very authentic and it tasted like the same thing I had in the middle east. The atmosphere is very nice and they have nice tables to sit at outside especially at night when there's nice weather. Thank you to the employee who made our experience amazing

((06)) 12" Chicken Wrap

When looking online, this place had a lot of great reviews, but it was empty when we got there. A little skeptical, we ordered the beef wrap to try it out. It was one of the best beef wraps we had! It was so full of flavor and had a sauce that paired extremely well with it, so we had to try the chicken too. While I've had chicken wraps that were better, this one was still full of flavor as well. What is nice about this particular wrap is it isn't loaded with salt, like other places, which makes it a lot healthier to eat. Even though my expectations were low, this place completely went above and beyond for flavor and quality. This is definitely a place I recommend! The owner seems to work here by himself. He works late hours, takes the order and cooks the meal himself. His business is a great place to support if you're in the area, and you won't be disappointed. The ambiance is chill too. So make sure to give it a try!

We got into LA after dinner time and we're staying in the Hollywood area. I was a little snacky and just wanted a quick bite to eat while checking out the stars. Enter sincerely Syria. It's a little unassuming storefront with a few outside seating tables. Mainly for to go purposes. The chicken shawarma was delicious, not dry like at some other places. Food was a little oily and dripped out the bottom of the foil as we were walking so bring extra napkins, but it totally hit the spot!

So much good food in unsuspecting shops on Hollywood near Vine. This shop offers shawarma wraps that are amazing. We had a 6" chicken shawarma wrap with pickles and garlic sauce. Grilled to a. Crunchy texture and warm and delicious. Meat is seasoned well and the garlic sauce is not too strong. Just right actually. Also, they serve it up fast. They have the formula down and can keep the flow going. Whenever we have walked by there is always a short line of customers and now I know why. Definitely a must!

Small chicken wrap

THIS PLACE IS BOMB. If you love shwarma, don't look any further, this is the spot in Hollywood. They are open late night too which is a major plus for me. Stopped by and picked up a small chicken wrap for lunch. Paid about $9 bucks for it and within 5 minutes my wrap was out. THAT THING WAS PACKED WITH FLAVOR. The garlic sauce on it was amazing and I also added some chili to the wrap that it made it even better. Truly a 10/10! Don't sleep on this place if your in the area. For the quality and how cheap the food is, I was impressed. I will defenitly be back again. Thanks Sincerly Syria for the great lunch, till next time!

Tell me how I've driven past Sincerely Syria a thousand times and just finally stopped in this weekend. My friend and I loved it so much, we went multiple times this weekend. Like...we fell in love. The location is shady, at best. The staff is polite, at best. The seating is thinly coated with dirt, at best. The parking is sparse, at best. But the freaking shawarma, y'all...it is THE best. This is Syrian style shawarma and you can either get 6" or 12" with chicken or lamb & beef. They also have plates but those are the same wraps, chopped into pieces and served with the trimmings. Los Angeles has a huge number of delicious revolving meat spots being sliced into their own signature pitas. They opened in 2021, taking over what was Hollywood Shawarma at this location on Hollywood & Vine. The flavors are wild, their signatures spices are splendid, that cinnamon tip delights - just so freaking tasty. With only two options, I can promise you'll eat good since I tried both the lamb & beef mixture which also came with onion, tomato & parsley trimmings and a tahini-based tarator sauce. While my preferred protein option, the chicken, it came doused in toum (whipped garlic sauce) and special Syrian pickles. Officially obsessed with that garlic sauce, swoon. They had no issue removing pickles for me the second time I popped in, btw. Ready for me to blow your mind? Most nights they close at Midnight, but Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays? They cater to the crowds until 4am! Word on my street is of their locations, this is the best one.

Karim A.

Rating: 8.0 An alright shawarma wrap. The size is really good and the chicken is good. I do think the chicken seasoning isn't as a local Syrian flavor, but it is okay. The bread is good but not an authentic shawarma wrap type of bread. A solid one however.

Now I will be craving the delicious Aleppo hot sauce knowing I have to brave a nightmare parking lot. It's a teeny tiny parking lot with odd angles and bottlenecks with a surprising amount of restaurants sharing it. Makes zero sense. After circling three times I dropped my wife off and parked across the street risking getting towed. There's a ton of construction so hopefully more parking is on the way. That said, food is outstanding. Service was also perfection. Cuisine here is from Syria so there a lot of interesting dishes I haven't seen before. We started with deep fried spring rolls stuffed with akkawi cheese imported from Syria. Expensive but order it. I ordered the "khashkhash" kabob plate which was 4 grilled kefta kabobs served on a surprisingly spicy sauce of tomatoes and Aleppo peppers. It was served with a mound of buttery rice sprinkled with Aleppo peppers and a cabbage salad. Honestly the best kabops I've ever had. Absolutely loved the flavors. I devoured the whole plate while eyeing the parking lot across the street for tow trucks. Portion could easily be shared. My wife went with the Gyro flatbread. I scoffed saying "this isn't a Greek restaurant" but the joke was on me because I was envious. House made flat bread topped with gyro, tzatziki, pickled onions, tomatoes, feta, sumac, and Aleppo peppers. I took a few bites and retracted my previous scoff. They had a large list of mocktails. I had the Vimto Mojito and my wife had the margarita. Both creative and flavorful. Lastly I tried the "Ashta" for dessert. It's an Aleppo signature per the menu and is a pudding like dessert of clotted cream, pistachio, strawberries, and honey. It's simple yet satisfying. Took me a few bites to acquire the flavor but I loved it more with each bite. My wife didn't care for it. They moved by Angel Stadium from their Brookhurst spot. Great place except the parking. Reservations are odd too. $25 penalty PER PERSON if you miss your reservation. It was definitely motivation to find parking.

It's a little dark and twinkly inside which sets a nice tone. There is cool artwork adorning every piece of wall, the place is very easy on the eyes...including the restrooms. Very clean. Our sever, didn't catch his name, but what a nice dude. Was super helpful without being "too much" he should teach a server class. He's pretty much who you want taking care of your table. He knew the menu well and made great suggestions. It was actually refreshing. We will come back, most likely with the family. Our waiter told us that they can accommodate larger groups which is great. I recently ate food at Saffy's and I didn't enjoy it one bit. The servings there are too small, too pretentious and too overpriced. Open Sesame is the exact opposite and that's why it rules. A wonderful experience in Beverly Boulevard.

EDIT JANUARY 2025: My family has now been dining at this…read morefamily owned restaurant for a decade now. I will jokingly say, the biggest negative of this restaurant is that it has officially ruined every other Mediterranean & middle eastern restaurant for us. We love it here THAT much. No matter how often we try other places (usually on a Monday, when they're closed), we always want to come back here. The prices have been rising steadily, as has everything around us unfortunately. But one thing that hasn't changed is how incredible their food is, how massive the portions are, what a bang for your buck you get, & how wonderful their service is. The owner & his mom are simply the best, always have a smile, & always so kind & know ahead of time what we want. We do a catering order/family style order quite often, either for holidays or celebrations, and the food is always a hit with EVERYONE. In the few VERY rare times over the past 10 years that some things were not up to their usual quality, they did everything they could to make things right! That speaks volumes at not only how amazing the food is, but how great the owners are. Their lunch special is phenomenal, especially for the price. Literally a few bucks more than what fast food restaurants are now charging for a "combo" meal, but here you get a home cooked gourmet feast. You can't go wrong with anything. Their tender beef filet & chicken thigh kabobs are our favorite. We like chicken breast as well, which is very delicious here, but love that this is one of the rare few restaurants that also offer chicken thigh, which is juicier and more flavorful than breast. Their buttery & fluffy rice pilaf is so "simple" yet is simply the best. Having it soak up the kabob juices or their amazing toum/garlic sauce is the best! Also love the pickles & turnips and other pickled veggies they serve as a free appetizer, along with onion slices. You can't go wrong with this restaurant. It's simple & straightforward. The portions are massive. The taste and flavors & quality of everything, especially their masterful kabobs, is exquisite. I hope Kebab Halebi stays open forever.

[Atmosphere & service]: There is a mural with two people baking saj bread and there are about half a dozen tables for in-person dining. I placed an in-person order and unfortunately the service was very slow. I eventually got my order after waiting close to 15 minutes despite the lack of customers. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Chicken Shawarma, Beef Shawarma, and Spinach Pie. They also have a display case of various baked items. Other items they sell here include Mediterranean specialty pizzas, plates (e.g. lamb gyro), Mediterranean breakfast, and flatbreads. *** Beef Shawarma Wrap (Beef, spread of hummus, fresh tomatoes, onions, and tahini sauce rolled and pressed to a crunchy toast - $18.00): The order came with two wraps. The filling was gooey and messy, but it had a very distinct flavor profile. Not too bad at all. Mini Spinach Pie (Raw spinach mixed with diced onion and sumac herb - 1 piece $2.00): It was not my cup of tea as it tasted very sour. *** A solid 3.5-star for the wrap, but bumped down due to inefficient service.
