    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    Joe S.

    This is my first visit to this location. I was excited they were opening one so close to me. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the owner. We found out that it's a family affair with 4 locations. Dad runs the original, Mom the Chevy Chase location, one brother runs the Highland Park location and another brother runs this one. The menu is fairly straightforward and consists of plates and wraps for the most part. We chose to order the Fattoush salad and a Chicken Shawarma wrap as well as a couple of beverages. There were no customers in the restaurant when we arrived. One person came in to pick up a to go order and another came in after us to dine on site. Sadly, our food took quite a long time to be prepared. At one point, while refilling my beverage, I saw them cutting chicken off of the spit and reheating it in a pan on the stove. I am used to the kind of wrap where they carve it off the rotating spit so it is dripping in juices with those charred crispy edges. Once we had our food, I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. The salad was huge, which I was pleased to see given the price ($12 plus another $8 for the chicken). The wrap was similar in size to those at Zankou. The salad was tasty, if a bit pedestrian. The dressing was tart and loaded with dried mint. Other than the pita chips, which quickly went soggy, there was only lettuce and some onion. The chicken was a bit dry, probably due to the way it was reheated on the stove. The wrap was just okay. Again, the chicken pieces were dry and somewhat flavorless. There was some lettuce and a couple of slices of tomato along with tahini sauce. The tahini was quite runny making the wrap a bit challenging to eat as it was dripping out the end. Having had Shawarma wraps at several establishments in the Glendale area, I was expecting more. For me, Zankou is the gold standard. Their Chicken Tarna is both flavorful and juicy, and their garlic Toum and Tahini sauce are thick, not runny. Skafs did not live up to that standard, not by a long shot. Skafs restaurants are well known in the community. I have friends that rave about them. I will definitely give one of their established locations a try in the future. But for a $50 lunch (salad plus chicken, wrap and two iced teas), it was quite the letdown.

    Skaf's is easily the best Lebanese spot in Glendale. The shawarma is legendary, the hummus is silkier than anywhere else, and that cabbage salad is a total must-order. You're getting elite-level food for a price that is beyond reasonable--it's honestly a steal for the quality they put out. Huge shoutout to the owner, Daniel, who runs a tight ship and treats every customer like family. The service is fast, friendly, and consistently great. If you haven't been here yet, you're seriously missing out!

    Just wanted to give a special shout out to SKAF for opening a quick service right near my house. They're having a ground opening promo of 30% off everything. If you love SKAF on YORK and the original SKAFS, you'll love this quick service option. Got the shawarma plate with cabbage salad instead of rice. Huge portion, super delicious! Hoping this place thrives like the other two SKAF locations! Loved the ode to ROCKBIRD on the tiles near the stove. Didn't realize ROCKBIRD were the same owners.

    A great spot with all the Lebanese classics: kabobs, wraps, salads and sides. Everything is insanely fresh and delicious. Even the humus is great. A perfect spot for a quick lunch or a quick dinner.

    So happy they opened a new location!!! This place has the best food. It's family owned. They care about food. They care about the community. It is amazing food and people. The photos speak for themselves. Check out what we love to order in pictures. Enjoy. I'll write more later.

    Wow. Stopped by on a whim because I like to support new businesses and I'm happy to report that this place (although not a new biz) it is a new location and it's amazing. Super moist and flavorful chicken. The fellas that work there are very welcoming and friendly. Stop by and support local businesses and eat amazing food.

    The best Iranian food I've had (bar none) and probably the most delicious meal I've had this year…read morethus far! Raffi's Place was my most anticipated restaurant on my SoCal trip. The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!

    Awesome authentic Middle Eastern food, came here on a Sunday night, awesome atmosphere. Not sure…read moreif it was a private party or standard weekend stuff, a dancer was dancing with music in the back. People were having a great time. Super friendly employees. The food was also awesome. Very close to Burbank Airport, stop by here on your way home or after you land.

    (To go order) Ordered two shawarmas and baba ganooj and sad to say the $5 baba-j stole the show…read more The shawarma was uneven on protein packing- one had decent amount and the other was well packed but loose so it was falling all over the place. 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.
