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 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.

Based on the food alone, we would recommend this place to anyone with a beating heart and more importantly, a mouth. This is quality food at a quality price. The atmosphere? Really great. 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.

What a fantastic meal we had here!…read more Felt like Mediterranean so decided to check out this place. First of all service was absolutely phenomenal. They want to ensure that you're having a great food experience. As for the food everything hit it out of the park! The Cretan Feta was potentially the most tasty appetizer I've ever had in all my life. The pita that came with it was freshly made when we ordered it and it was so soft and tasty. The feta itself was whipped perfection! They recommended drizzling their olive oil on it and what a game changer that was! Side note: they make their own olive oil! Apparently you can buy it on Amazon but we took some home direct from the restaurant. Back to the food - had their lamb chops (that came with perfectly cooked potatoes and veggies) and their meatballs. Both were outstanding. Finished it off with their baklava which was the perfect consistency and level of sweetness. The perfect end to our night. This is a small cute and perfect place to go with your girlfriends or on a date. Plenty of street parking (and we went at 6pm on a Wednesday). Will absolutely come back for their breakfast!

After we sat, the restaurant filled up. For my entree, I ordered the Loobia Polo with chicken koobideh and it was pretty good! Loobia Polo is a rice dish sauteed with diced filet mignon, green beans, and tomato sauce according to the menu. The rice was tasty and was not too tangy. The rice dish was mostly soft, but there were some hard bits which I did not enjoy. However, I also enjoyed the meaty and juicy chicken koobideh. The flavor was just right. The roasted tomato on the side was also great. All together, it was a great meal. Our table was served with a complimentary flat bread with butter appetizer which was nice. The flatbreads were warm. The interior was nice and clean. There are clean and private bathrooms available. Service was good, but we did have to flag down a server to get our bill. There's a big and free parking lot in front which is pretty rare for Hollywood and even LA in general. Overall, I had a good experience here and wouldn't mind coming back.

My first time coming to Soom Soom - I'm going to give it a 4 out of 5 stars this time around…read morebecause I was extremely hungry and I ate the food almost too quick to enjoy it fully. I plan to come back again to try it a few more times and update my review accordingly. This place reminds me of a fast food/Chipotle-style eatery, but serves Mediterranean food instead. You order the type on entree you want (Shawarma, kabob, schnitzel, koobideh - pita, plate or wrap style) or a la carte with the sides. Each Pita/Wrap/Plate comes with your choice of rice or couscous, 4 sides, and 2 half pitas. 1. Beef Shawarma Plate (4.5/5) The beef is cooked on the famously known Middle Eastern vertical rotisserie for well-balanced roasting. I can taste a bit of the Middle Eastern spices used in the seasoning of the meat. The beef was sliced very thinly, was not dry, and portions were reasonable. It was delicious to eat on its own, when mixed with couscous, and when used as filling in the pita wrap. Comes with 2 sides of dressing. The white color dressing (not sure what it is) was bitter, which I was not a fan of. However, the spice tahini sauce was very good and very mild in heat. It had a light tartness to it that gave additional flavor to the dish. *Tabouli salad (5/5) This is a traditional Middle Eastern salad consisting of fresh finely chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, and green onions, with bulgur wheat and mixed with lemon-olive oil dressing. The parsley flavor was robust and the salad overall was fresh and refreshing. *Side of Beets (5/5) - fresh and crunchy. I hate preparing beets on my own at home due to their staining effects, so when I can get it fresh at a restaurant, it's my go-to. It is packed with fiber, micronutrients and nitrates, which helps to lower blood pressure, inflammation and improve athletic endurance by improving blood flow. Beets pair well with hummus and Tabouli salad. *Hummus (5/5) - I personally found their house-made hummus to be quite good. It was creamy, very smooth in texture (no grainy-ness at all), and had a strong chickpea nutty flavor profile. It has the perfect consistency to eat on its own, to mix with your meat and couscous, or to use as a base for your pita wrap. Minus half a star only because staff were not very friendly. They spoke very softly, which required me to ask them several times to repeat, so that was a bit annoying.
