What we ordered- We always start with the duck hummus and chicken liver, rich, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with their fluffy pita. The lamb neck shawarma is a non-negotiable, falls right off the bone, juicy, and comes with the perfect accompaniments. We also got the grilled dorade and oyster mushrooms, both are consistently excellent. This time we swapped our usual shrimp for the crudo and peach salad, and honestly, both were amazing. Still team shrimp overall, but it just goes to show you really can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Service is always attentive and the ambiance is upscale with lots of natural lights and greenery. Parking - There is valet parking and a pay to park lot across the street by Girl and the Goat. While there is street parking in the area, I've noticed a lot of smashed glass from break ins. (I've also had my car broken into before by the pottery studio ... they stole my pink picnic blanket)

The plate also came with hummus and pita, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The hummus was smooth, rich, and perfect with the warm pita. Hermon helped recommend our food, cooked it, and even served us. She was so kind and made the whole experience feel really personal. She also offered us complimentary baklava, which was amazing.

I ordered the pastrami sandwich, and wow... it was honestly one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly piled onto fresh bread. Every bite was worth it! The pastrami was incredible, and now I definitely have to come back and try the famous French dip. Even with how busy it was, the line moved quickly and the staff kept everything running efficiently. Ordering was fast and easy. This place is full of history and charm. I loved the vintage telephone booths, the old-school photo booth, and even the little candy area--it all adds to the nostalgic experience.

I stopped in just before the lunch rush--a good strategy, especially on a Dodgers game day--and everything clicked from the moment I walked in. The first thing that caught my eye was Elizabeth carving lamb right off the bone and building my French Dip sandwich in front of me. That's not theater; that's the way they've done it for years, and I loved every minute of it. The lamb dip was outstanding, just as I remembered. Add a crisp pickle, a side of coleslaw, and a Miller Genuine Draft, and you've got a lunch that doesn't need any fancy introductions. The sawdust on the floor may be gone, but the personality certainly isn't. Philippe's still feels like old Los Angeles. People share tables, strike up conversations, and enjoy a meal without anyone rushing them out the door. Then there's something you almost never find downtown anymore--free parking. That's worth mentioning all by itself. Could I explain why I'm giving Philippe's five stars? I suppose I could. But when you have friendly people like Elizabeth, a fresh lamb dip made right in front of you, reasonable prices, free parking, and more than a century of Los Angeles history, what more could you ask for? You may have seen this review, or a version of it, in one of the local publications I write for. I always pay for my own meals, and my opinions are my own.

Sultan Chicken in the heart of downtown Los Angeles is a must-visit for any foodie! We stopped by and ordered the chicken shawarma extra spicy, and it did NOT disappoint. The flavors were bold, the chicken was juicy, and the spice level was just right. Paired with the seasoned fries, which were crispy and addictive, this meal was a winner. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. But what really made our experience stand out was the GREAT SERVICE! The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is perfect, right in the middle of downtown LA, making it a great spot to grab a quick and delicious bite. If you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking for a tasty meal, Sultan Chicken is a must-try. Don't forget to order it extra spicy for an added kick!

I'm so glad I found Sultan Chicken. This snug counter-serve spot dishes out incredibly fresh, hearty Mediterranean food that tastes homemade and comforting every single time. From the juicy chicken shawarma to the crispy falafel, everything is seasoned perfectly and comes out hot and full of flavor. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and it's the kind of meal that actually leaves you satisfied without feeling heavy. The staff are friendly, quick, and make you feel welcome whether you're grabbing something to go or eating there for a casual bite. The space itself is simple and no-frills, but the food more than makes up for the basic digs it really is all about what's on the plate. If you're in the mood for shawarma, falafel, or just solid Mediterranean comfort food, Sultan Chicken is a must try. Highly recommend! read more

People I know rave about this place. If you like meat, Sultan seem to do it right here. Lots of chicken, kabob, meat on a metal rod thing where it gets shaved off, etc and it smells... well, like how meat is supposed to smell. I wasn't too impressed with the vegetarian plate I got or their sanitary practice. One of the owners touched a bunch of surface prior to grabbing my pita with his bare hands and threw it in my to-go box. I really wished he had washed his hands before grabbing my pita like that. I do agree that they have one of the best hummus that I've ever had and I'm not even that big of a fan of hummus. They get really busy at lunch so definitely call in your order or order online. Not really a great place to dine at unless you want to smell like meat afterwards and you dont mind the lack of oxygen. read more

This was my first time stepping foot in this district and I honestly had no idea where to eat. I decided to try Mimi's as the menu looked decent, homecooking style, and I didn't entirely want a whole sit- down, waiter takes your order ordeal type of lunch. So this is the perfect rest stop to eat! I sat outside at one of their tables and the waiter made sure the table was clean and quickly set the table for me. The wait wasn't long. My food came out fresh and hot! The chicken wrap was a good size and the bed of fries were good. I did wish that they offered radish on the side. None the less, I was pleased with the quality. They did offer extra pita bread which was very nice of them. (Thank you for the honey cake! Delicious.) The ambiance was calm and peaceful at the time of my visit which was early afternoon on a weekday. It's all shade in this area so it was a pleasant lunch for me to sit in a cooling area. I would definitely return and enjoy more of their food!

This is a very tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant that isn't found on the main street of LA. Inside the restaurant is small, so they have tables outside. There is a lot of shade, so it's pleasant to sit outside. Parking, however, could be a hassle if you drive here. The tables are located on the street and near the parking lot. Meaning, it felt like a car could hit a table if it got out of control. I ordered the combo plate (~$16 at the time of this writing). They gave us extra pita bread because our party was pretty big. Everything tasted fresh and home made. The kebabs were sizzling hot right off the grill. The salad was seasoned and crunchy. The hummus wasn't as flavorful or beany tasting, but I preferred it that way because everything else had flavor. The rice balanced any overwhelming flavor. I'm typically picky and if I find a Mediterranean food that's good, I just stick with that and don't try anything else until someone else recommends or invites me out to eat. Having said that, I would definitely return here. Summary: - CLEANLINESS. Clean. They placed spill pads (almost like the one you'd find in the Boiling Crab) for our tables outside. - COSTS. $ Affordable. $16 for a decently portioned meal. It will definitely fill you up. - CUSTOMER SERVICE. The staff was friendly. They gave us extra pita because we had a large party. - FOOD QUALITY. Good and perfectly balanced. Not too overwhelming on any one specific dish. - FOOD QUANTITY. Large portion size. - BATHROOM. I saw a one gender only bathroom near the cash register. (I didn't enter or use it, so I don't know the condition of it.) - WAIT TIME. About 10-15 minutes total for our group of 6 people to get everything.

My toddler loved the broccoli. There was zucchinni, squash, mushrooms, onions, carrots and broccoli. It was seasoned very well and the broccoli had a nice char at the tops. Entrees: Penne with Butter and Parmesan - They should add garlic to that as well. I really enjoyed that part. Definitely a lot of butter, but it settled to the bottom so the noodles weren't too greasy. Toddler loved it.. but there sure was a lot of it. It comes with a little side of bread with cheese on it as well Lemon Chicken Pita Sandwich - My husband really liked this. He basically ate it 2 nights in a row. He really liked how the chicken tasted but he questioned the random 2 fries they added into the pita (he thought they were rougue fries that fell in until he saw it in the 2nd pita as well). Gryo Plate - House salad and Rice Pilaf So I'm not sure if this was an Uber thing or from the restaurant, but the base price did NOT include the sides. All sides were an additional $3 and up and you were required to pick 2. The base price was $23.95, then with 2 $3 sides it came out to $30 for my plate. I still got it because they have my favorite gyros. It definitely came with a good amount of protein, but it was strange that I didn't get a salad dressing, just 2 containers of tzatziki. It just didn't quite taste as good as before. Maybe it was on off day, but this dish was very disappointing since I spent so much on it. They do have the BOGO offers though, that was nice.

Parking is hard to find because it's downtown LA but there is a structure across the street. The meats are so moist and never dry and that's the best part. Everything is just on point yummy food. Give it a shot u surely won't regret it.

Great casual Mediterranean food restaurant in DTLA. Very reasonable prices for good size portions…read more They make the food fresh to order so it might be a little wait but I would rather know that the food is fresh. Portions are large. My friend and I ordered the Greek fries, individual platter (great appetizer if you want to try a little of everything), and the Rosemary Special entree which comes with chicken, beef koobideh and lamb chops. We had way too much food for the two of us and had plenty leftover but it was all really good. Great presentation too. My favorite was the beef koobideh and the Greek fries. The chicken was also really juicy! Even though we ordered so much food, we still wanted to get some dessert too so of course we tried the baklava which was standard. Next time I want to try the tiramisu and also the yogurt soda. Parking is limited to street parking because it's downtown LA but that's expected. Overall, a great addition to the casual DTLA food scene!

And even then, the price between those and with fries were absurd (as of this post, $11 for chicken Shawarma on its own, $15 for it with only {small} fries. Most important, food wasn't that good. I bought multiple options (chicken and beef/lamb), and no one who ate thought the food was particularly good. Would have legitimately skipped this place if I knew it was this basic.

The seating is on the outdoor patio, which is actually really nice on a sunny day.
