Best Affordable Los Angeles Restaurants to Eat at for Under $25 This Summer | Eater LA

"Reddit led me to this Palms Syrian-influenced shawarma shop where EDM blares and big screens loop the menu; the patio is the better perch as cars zip down Venice. The star is thinly shaved, aggressively seasoned beef tucked into thin flatbread scorched on the shawarma hotplate, with only mayo-like garlic and spicy sauces inside, forming a box-pressed tube served whole or sliced; I might give a slight edge to Gardena’s Borjstar on the lamb-beef blend, but this is easier to reach, and the chicken shawarma keeps pace with Sincerely Syria. Fries are very good—crisp, golden, and well-salted—and first-timers get sample bites of the shawarma wrap of their choice, a real X-factor in the service. Must-try dishes: chicken and beef shawarma, french fries." - Rebecca Roland
