4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: May 9 | Eater LA
"A Turkish street-food stand on the corner where Echo Park, Chinatown, and Downtown LA meet, this team focuses on one thing: shawarma. Meats—chicken, lamb, or beef—are prepared over mesquite lump coal using specialty steel swords. Flatbread is spread with a mild sauce and layered with tomato, parsley, onion, and a sumac seasoning blend before being rolled into a compact cylindrical shape for easy on-the-go eating. Everything in the shawarma is beautifully seasoned and accompanied by a tangy sauce, jalapeño, and pickled carrots; the crew also prepares a traditional yogurt drink to sip alongside it. The dish is best eaten immediately—take a seat on Figueroa just south of Sunset Boulevard (directly under the 110/101 interchange) to savor the sights, tastes, and scents." - Eater Staff
