    Microplastic Meat fridge
    Mike L.

    Hollywood Halal til 2am? I guess this is it. Prewarn:portion is small. It's like poor Asia where you get a big bowl of rice with your 2 meat slice vibe. Get their whole chicken early or mid day, while it's fresh. Get the beef filet, skip the kebab. They freshly grill the skewers, I got the lula kebab and it was flat in taste. For being pretty dry and not juicy at all, there were no grilled taste. It seems like it was overcooked on medium heat. No texture nor flavor. Hummus had more flavor tbh. The tabouleh was decent, but felt more like a typical tomato cucumber salad (unless they swapped it without telling me) The rice is pretty plain, a bit dry, a little flavor. The garlic sauce is more oil than garlic, you can see the oil leeching out instead of being smoothly emulsified. One kebab for $23? 4.7 stars? That's Hollywood I guess. Stick with Sincerely Syria or Brot across the street, or just get their wraps.

    Ordered this for a quick poolside lunch after I was craving some authentic Lebanese (not that I think this is a Lebanese spot but the pics looked promising!). Tabbouleh and kafta shawarma were very good! Chicken kabobs a little dry but seasoned well. The little borek and rakakat was not was I expected, did not love those. Garlic could have been a bit more potent, hummus needed a little more lemon; but overall was pretty good.

    Great food! Fantastic and friendly customer service. Cool little neighborhood spot. Their chicken is incredible! Definitely recommend for a good meal. Their wraps are super small so that I don't recommend. And if you order any specific sides, make sure they hear you. I asked for a side with my meal and didn't get it, I was bummed. But I'll definitely be back, food is good to return.

    Chicken Plate

    Late night meal after a showing. I thought Skewer was great. Lots of good restaurants around but skewer hits the spot. Lots of your classic Mediterranean plates and all are freshly grilled There is seating outside but only like two tables. Parking: it's hollywood so depending on when you go, it may be tough

    After standing in line one hour for rush tickets for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Pantages, we had some time to kill before the show so we decided to grab dinner at Skewer. The restaurant itself is small with only countertop/bar seating along the edge of the restaurant, but they also set up some chairs and tables outside in front of the restaurant that our party of 5 took advantage of. The food was grilled to order and we ordered several things to share. Portions were generous and all the meats were delicious, though prices are on the higher side. The sides and dips were excellent as well. It did take some time for the food to come out since it takes time to prepare, so be aware of that. Probably the only thing that made me knock down a star is that we were all very desperate to use the restroom after taking public transit to LA, so we asked upon entering the restaurant even before we ordered if there was a restroom we could use. The lady up front said yes, no problem, and we proceeded to use the restroom, but when it came my turn to use the restroom when I exited the older female employee very emphatically said "ONLY" and pointed to the sign saying "Employees Only." I explained to her that the other employee had said it was okay plus we spent over $100 at their establishment but the whole experience really made me feel terrible. Aside from that incident, the service was actually very friendly and welcoming, and the lady upfront spoke several languages including fairly good Spanish to boot. Overall, would still recommend this tasty Lebanese place in Hollywood.

    I have had A LOT of Mediterranean food and this is DEFINITELY the best I've had!! The service is outstanding! When asked when they recommend they didn't disappoint! The food is sooo fresh they don't cook it until you order. The place is a tiny hole in the wall but the flavors and service makes up for the size. We sat there and watched it go from nobody in there but us to a line out the door in less than 30 minutes! And they're open until the wee hours of the morning! This has to be a must place to go in whether it's early in the morning or late in the evening or late late night eats!

    Lamb Plate
    Alyssa A.

    If there is a good skewer, I will be there to try it. We were in the area to visit Funko Pop and wanted something good to eat after. Skewer had such good reviews, this became a must-stop. The food here is SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS. We devoured everything we ordered and even added more on to-go. Get the lamb - tender, flavorful, and oh-so tasty. Ordered the lamb plate with the hummus and tabbouleh. Perfect combination. Only thing that could've made it better would be some roasted tomatoes. Delish. They make everything fresh to order, so it can be a bit of a wait to get your food. But it's worth it! Great prices. Open late. Both indoor and outdoor seating. 100% will return when back in the area.

    Sandwich with Filet Mignon Cubes & Fries
    Harrison T.

    Stopped by for a quick meal after catching a show at Avalon and enjoyed a yummy meal! The person at the counter helping me was friendly and welcoming when I walked in. He offered some recommendations as I was looking at the menu. I settled on the sandwich with filet mignon cubes and a side of fries with a coke. My food was made to order and came out in about 10 minutes. There's some seating on the side to enjoy your meal or you can take it to go. The food is cooked to order so your food is always fresh here. I appreciate that they are open late so you can come here after events at the various venues nearby. If you are looking for a good meal and want Mediterranean, come check out Skewer!

    Fresh Tabouleh! Very bright and lemony! Yum!
    Brenn R.

    Went here on Friday night and can positively say that the food is fresh and very tasty! Didn't have to wait long to be served. The French fries were steaming hot and fresh out of the fryer, and the beef kafta was nicely seasoned and very delicious. The tabouleh salad was bright, zesty, and full of lemony good flavor. There are a few small tables outside and the weather was nice. Sitting on Hollywood Blvd, this is a prime spot for people watching, and you get to see all sorts pass by as you eat. The only thing I couldn't stand was the super loud, techno club music they were playing from the restaurant. It was very annoying and definitely not something that anyone would want to listen to while eating. Very fast paced and almost anxiety inducing, like, "Eat faster! Don't even chew! Just swallow everything whole and then dance until you go into cardiac arrest" kind of vibes. Not chill one bit. Other than that, the food was great! Although next time we may opt to have it delivered.

    Chicken thigh wrap
    Jen S.

    Came here before à show at the Pantages and had some of the best wraps. Their meat is perfectly seasoned and moist and the pickles in the wrap give a Big Crunch. Wish this place was closer to home and I'd eat here daily.

    We really wanted to love this place but sadly it just didn't live up to the hype or expectation…read more Stopped by on a weekday around 1pm and ordered three wraps. The place is pretty small and hard to navigate around the seating. The best and our favorite of the three wraps was the tongue wrap. This was seriously outstanding and one of the best I've had. It was juicy, lemony, cooked well and flavorful. After that, things went downhill. The vegetable wrap was greasy, almost slimey, and falling apart. The vegetables were all soggy and there wasn't much flavor. The chicken shawarma panini was the biggest disappointment. This was so salty and had a bad taste like the chicken was rancid. It was dry and just not good at all. On the way out we spoke to the owner and mentioned how salty it was, to which he said he knows about it and people complain about it often. So why isn't there a change? Sadly not a place I would return to

I am so happy they're here and so close to home as well. I can't wait to go back and try out more items. I hope they continue to thrive!!

We arrived midday on a Sunday and we're promptly sat, having been given the option for patio or indoor. We chose the patio, and between the clematis, lantana, and olive trees it is a very lovely setting in which to enjoy a meal. We were promptly brought a bottle of cold water and glasses, and our beverage orders were taken. I had a honey lavender latte with oat milk, and my husband had Lebanese coffee (no milk no sugar.) my latte was fragrant, the perfect temperature, and just the right amount of sweet. The Lebanese coffee was smooth, floral without being perfume, and excellent. We started with the falafel and the batata harra. Both absolutely excellent. For our entrees we selected the shakshuka and the Lebanese egg pie. Both were also excellent. Everything was well cooked, well presented, flavorful without being overwhelmed by any component. We took home a baklava tart, because we simply did not have the ability to eat more at the table. It was tender, moist, not too sweet, the pistachio flavor coming through as nutty and grassy, seriously so good! And it's worth noting, this whole restaurant is gluten free. I would not have realised if I had not known ahead of time. The texture of the pita with the shakshuka was exactly what one would expect, as was the bread of the egg pie. The pastry of the tart was flakey and delicious. And having said all of that, the service is what puts it above and beyond. Everyone was warm and pleasant, and seemed to genuinely appreciate the compliments. Staff seemed like they liked their jobs, which for me is always a good sign.

Their arayes are a must -- it's basically like a lahmajun with two pieces pressed together, and it's insanely good. I usually go all in and order the tabbouleh, babaganoush, a pound of lula kebab, and shish kebab. Honestly, if you're with 2+ people (or even just really hungry), ordering by the pound with sides is way better value than getting individual plates. You get more variety and it just feels like the right way to eat here. Every now and then I'll switch it up and get the liver plate -- it comes with tons of greens and onions, and when you wrap everything in their fresh pita, it's incredible. Not an everyday order, but when you're in the mood for it, it hits. If you dine in, the indoor decor is super nice and really gives that authentic Mediterranean vibe. They also play a lot of 90s music, which somehow fits perfectly and adds to the whole experience. I've dined in plenty of times and the service is always solid -- staff is friendly and attentive. Just a heads up, food can take a little longer sometimes, but that's because they're always busy and everything is made fresh, so it's worth the wait. I've also done takeout here more times than I can count -- probably over 100 orders at this point -- which says everything. This is easily one of my go-to spots and I keep coming back for a reason.

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.
