Best Shawarma

In the mood for authentic middle eastern food, a local recommended to me Best Shawarma. Thank goodness I took their advice. I ordered my beef shawarma and was going to get a drink from the fridge until the man running the shop recommend a homemade drink “, Tnakan Akroshka. I figured why not? Beef shawarma was delicious and flavorful and the drink was nice and refreshing. Highly recommend both and would visit again in an instant! 10/10

Best shawarma, and it certainly lives up to the name. I love shawarma, From Munich, to London, Mumbai, to New York City, I’ve had it across the world . This was genuinely the best shawarma I have had. I came in late at night after a long day where I didn’t have lunch, and it was amazing. Very filling and delicious. The portions were absolutely massive and the owner was so friendly! A very kind man. Definitely come try this restaurant. I had the shawarma plate and it was so good Can’t rlly say more.

I crave the OMG fries all the time 🍟🔥 This place does not disappoint, the meats are perfectly cooked always and the menu has a nice variety for all cravings.

One of the best chicken wraps I’ve ever had. It was so delicious that I’m still savoring it in my mouth. The meat was so tender, fresh and even crispy on the skin. The pink dressing is so good too. Size is average. ($12.99). It’s a small place, few tables but it’s worth it. Sure I’ll be back next time I’m around the area.

I must say that this had to be the best BBQ I had for a long time. If you are around Glendale and craving something but undecided on what to have? You should definitely stop by "Best Shawarma" place and try one of many menu's they have. You can't go wrong no matter what you choose. Everything is fresh and excellent. The staff is extremely helpful and their customer service is above and beyond. Thank you guys. Will be back for lunch tomorrow as well.

Mine and my brother's first time visiting and probably my last! Don't get me wrong, the food was very good, but after ordering our food we got charged almost $50 for one wrap that we shared and the "oh my God fries" which we also shared. We got 3 coca-colas and that was it. The end amount was like $46 for 2 food items and 3 cokes!! When I checked my receipt, nothing was itemized, just one item that said, "custom amount". Like I said the food was good and flavorful but definitely not worth the price! There are many other places around Glendale that I'm sure have just as good food for a lot less in price.

Got the omg fries they were amazing ! Staff was very sweet and welcoming!

The name pretty much explains itself. Need I say more?

Of all the shawarmas in Glendale, I think this is now my favorite one. Went here for a quick grab and go for lunch and ordered the chicken wrap and it was so good. The chicken was super tender and the sauce was the perfect addition to the wrap. The man at the counter was super sweet and friendly and makes you want to come back and support this business. I'll definitely be back for more! P.S. wish I had taken pics of my wrap but I inhaled it before I could! Happy eating!

Not horrible But compared to the rest of the shawarma spots in the city I have to be honest here of course. Lacking ingredients. Shawarma was there yes beef and chicken, basically with lettuce. At least throw a few tomatoes in there. Sauce is mid, not much taste going on, definitely not spice. The wrap itself was a bit tough to chew. Hummus was mid, just felt like it was lacking in each part. Don't see this place lasting that long, the competition is too fierce. For $20.00 each the size itself is a little disappointing.

Not even close to being the best shawarma. The meat was chewy and off. Seemed like left over at best. The hummus was amazing. I just don't get it. How do you do so well on hummus and failed so hard on the actual food. The rice don't even get me started. Tasted like day old not cooked rice. I say avoid.

I can't deny, one of the best shawarmas I have had in a while. They do have a lamb shawarma, which is somewhat a rarity these days. I got the Lamb Shawarma Wrap with lavash and it was great. Very classic Armenian style, nothing extra, just the meat, veggies, herbs, and the sauce. They use real charcoal for their grills so I am definitely coming back to try more.

Best Shawarma is literally some of the best shawarma, lule, chicken kabob, whatever, you'll find in the Southern California area - which says a lot when you're living in Glendale. We have eaten here literally weekly thus far in a four week stay - does this convey how happy we are with the food here? Extremely no-frills, straightforward hole-in-the-wall restaurant off of Glenoaks. We've sampled more Armenian/Lebanese/Persian than we've ever imagined during an unexpected stay in Glendale, and both my husband and I (and two kids too) unequivocally agree that the meat here at Best Shawarma is absolutely unmatched. Especially both the chicken and beef lule - super juicy, seasoned and flavorful, cooked fresh to order - absolutely cannot go wrong. Chicken kebab is also exquisitely tender. Hummus is decent albeit I've had better hummus elsewhere, but I'll let this slide (a little grainy). Staff are friendly and always have a smile, even if they incorrectly presume off the bat that you speak Armenian. Limited inside/outside seating. New go-to for take out!

truly is the best shawarma in Glendale. 10/10. if you are at glenoaks you HAVE to come and the owners are very nice. this is the golden ticket to happiness. they also have a very nice playlist. (the food looked amazing when it arrived but we couldn't wait to eat it so no before picture was taken)

Delicious food, excellent service, the man who runs the restaurant is lovely and welcoming. Nice indoor space to sit and eat food, excellent time.

The greatest service, absolutely incredible owner and easily the best Shawarma in LA. I cannot recommend enough! Portions were fantastic, staff was excellent, i cannot stress enough how one of a kind this place is. 1000/10

Absolutely ridiculous. I ordered two beef kebabs and two sodas, and the bill was outrageously high because they charged for onion and cilantro -- the most basic sides that should always be included. It felt like they were inventing charges just to rip people off. I left angry, cheated, and completely disappointed. Never coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Oh my god. The first 3 words out of my mouth full of delicious pork, fries, and whatever else they put in this thing. The guys here are super nice, always will to accommodate, and the food is fantastic. I appreciate the outdoor seating for the fresh air too.

What a joke! I ordered two beef kebabs ($9.50 each) and two sodas. Somehow the check came out to over $40. Why? Because they actually charged me for onion and cilantro . Never in my life have I seen a place nickel-and-dime customers for toppings that are supposed to come with kebabs. If you want comedy with your meal, this is the spot. If you want fair prices? Look elsewhere.

10 OUT OF 10 ! Me and my friend came here to try it out and very good food and very friendly staff! Whenever am in the Glendale area I will come again! Thanks for the great food and the service!

Wow the chicken was very well seasoned & had so much flavor. The customer service was amazing! The guy taking our order was very welcoming & seemed happy that we were enjoying the food. The drizzled sauce on top of the chicken shawarma plate really was the cherry on top. Perfect casual spot that has indoor seating as well.

Happened on this place by accident and it was so so worth it!!!! The food is stellar and at a super reasonable price.... Get the lamb/beef combo!! Edgar and Varush give excellent customer service and make you feel like an old friend, Highly highly recommend!

By far my favorite shawarma place in LA. It's a nice hidden spot and they give you plenty of food for the price you pay, I usually get a lamb plate. The OMG fries are good but I don't think it is worth the money. There are a few tables and it seems like most people usually get take away so going down and getting seated is super easy and convenient. It is a fast casual restaurant so you order at their register and then pay and then they bring you the food at your table. They have a TV playing turkish(?) music videos which I found amusing but it's not that loud so you can have a nice casual dinner here in peace.

Great place if you're looking for really good shawarma. Ordered the chicken shawarma plate with extra chicken for $7. Total was $28 but for the amount of food and the quality that you get, it is definitely worth it. The service is definitely a plus here. They're very fast and also super friendly, especially the cashier. The overall ambiance is clean and welcoming. There's also decent amount of parking spots in the lot.

The name don't lie. Best damn shawarma. The dudes inside were very cool, like always. I don't come here as often as I should. It's cheaper to order and pickup than to DoorDash it.

I've been to so many Mediterranean spots, but this place stands out. The food is incredibly flavorful, fresh, and the best. I tried the shawarma plate and it was perfectly seasoned and.The garlic sauce and sides brought everything together so well. The vibe is super cozy and welcoming. I definitely recommend

I had a lamb wrap and my wife had a beef wrap and it was super delicious! They have a ton of things on their menu so anyone you bring here is sure to find something they'll love. They also suggested a yogurt drink that was pretty dang good. They live up to their name, this really is the Best Shawarma I've found in the LA area. They check all the boxes!

I honestly love coming to eat here. I always get the pork or lamb shawarma plate or the omg fries with pork or lamb. Everything about this place is so good. Their service is great and everyone is super friendly. Their seating area has 5 tables but plenty of chairs and outside seating as well. They have nice music playing every time I come and it's a very welcoming environment. Definitely recommend coming here.

Name says it all...it really is the best shawarma! Most of the time I eat out, I regret it. Not the case with this place. Delicious, filling, but doesn't make you feel horrible after like most places. Loved it and will be back for sure.

If you're looking for a great shawarma spot in Glendale, CA, consider Glendale Shawarma or Best Shawarma, known for their flavorful and authentic shawarma. Great service. Thank you.

The service was amazing! Loved how the customer service was and the atmosphere was cool. The food was DELICIOUS! It's my third visit here already and I'm obsessed with the OMG Fries! 10/10 everything

I had been here so many years ago, and didn't have a special experience. My husband and I decided to try one more time and I really happy that we gave an another chance. There is a small indoor dining with 5 tables max and some outside. We ordered to plate shawarma one with lamb and one with pork. They both were super delicious and it get ready so quickly. I love the variety of the shawarma that they have, pork, lamp, chicken and beef. This place is one of the best shawarma places in Glendale area.

Very good food. Levon and Varuj were very nice and helpful. Definitely try if you like shawarma. Try the OMG fries beef.

This was always my favorite shawarma place. I have told anyone who would ask to go there. And I'm sure the food is still delicious...but Checking out their jaw-dropping price hikes breaks my heart. $20 for a wrap? That's an over 50% increase. $28 for a plate??? $28??? I think they got carried away and I hope this isn't permanent. Look at the photo of their old menu prices. 2025 truly sucks.

Terrible shawarma--very expensive and a very small portion. They put some meat, cabbage, and onion, and that's it. You take two bites, and it's gone. Just a scam for customers. I highly do not recommend it. $17 for absolutely nothing. The meat is oversalted and old. They stuff it with a bunch of cabbage, a little bit of meat, and a ton of sauce to cover up the taste of the meat.

The best! Literally so many good things to say about them. The food is amazing! The quantity, quality, price, service !! I've tried so many shawarma places in Glendale and Pasadena and by far this is the best ever. I usually get the OMG fries and then the beef shawarma wrap. My family love the lamb plates. 100% would recommend if you're in tujunga area and need some good munch!

This place is good. Simple and done, walk in order wait and eat. quick little meal but it goes a long way. The meat quality is good and it's just a good small little local environment. My only complaint would be the price but its is almost always worth it. Would recommend.

I was first time here. Edgar and Varuj , you guys are awesome. The hospitality was on great level, food was exactly what I wanted and was super delicious thank you so so much

Best Shawarma was a last minute dinner stop in the area, first time customer. The OMG fries with lamb were sauced well, a little extra seasoned, but overall good for the value and was filling. The falafels were very large, a smaller fist size, and though they were fresh and flavorful, i did find them a little on the dry side. I'd definitely come back to try more on the menu, it's in a very convenient area of Glendale and the 134. Though no other customers were inside, it did take us roughly 15mins for our order to be ready.

i've never had a shawarma like this honestly i dont even wanna call it shawarma. the most dry and stale ever shawarma and i would never go here again. very overprice! the service took way too late. if you truly care about your health make sure you don't show up there. i wouldn't even come if you pay me to.

Trust me it's good, just show up. Workers are super sweet and always make you feel welcomed

This is best place to get your lunch/dinner. I'm here atleast 2 times a week at this point. Varugh and Edgar are truly the best people with the best attitudes. I love everything they recommend. Definitely a 10/10

THE BEST SHAWARMA I'VE EVER HAD! 10/10. The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the shawarma plate and the chicken wrap. The prices are reasonable, and I will definitely be back for lunch. You won't be disappointed.

Bomb shawarma! I ordered the omg fries and they did not disappoint ! Will definitely be back.

Pork shawarma was really good, Varuj and Edgar were very helpful. Restaurant was very clean.

The dudes here might look intimidating and scary but They chill ain't gon lie. Also the music they blast is fire even though if your a generic American or don't understand the language you may not like. Music go hard though. The food hella good and I been tryna find the sauce they use. Lmk if you know what it is. Anyway the people chill and service is nonchalant but you will get good food gang just give it a try.

Truly lives by the name! You won't find better Shawarma in Glendale or otherwise - and that is tough in Glendale. They always have me in here, Pork Shawarma wrap is the best thing ever. Top tier customer service, and the vibe is sick. They also run the wing stop next door. Great addition to the Glendale community.

Food quality and customer service were both very disappointing. We tried The chicken kebab and shawrma. The kebab was all wasted since no one from our group of 4 wanted to take a second bite. The shawrma was nothing close to a good shawrma we get in other places. Not recommended.

Best shawarma ever !!! Staff and owner are so friendly here Love the service and the food

The name really speaks for the quality of the food. My favorite shawarma place by a long shot. But the best part going to this place is seeing the cashier greet you with a smile. Love it! Love the music they play. Sometimes I just stay there to listen to the music.

Placed a big order and thought it would take longer than usual. Arrived a lot earlier than the estimated time it said it would be ready and the food was actually hot and ready! The food was great! From the rice to the salad to the proteins, everything was cooked very well. The workers were also very friendly.

Sorry, must disagree with the hype on this one. My Lamb shawarma was terrible. The meat was grizzly and tough to chew, not to mention pretty darn stingy with the portion size overall. The falafels were oversized and raw in the middle. No decent sauces. I left with a $27 hole in my pocket and struggled to get through my meal- not happy. Oh well- live learn. Either they are loading the reviews from friends and family or the patrons really don't set the bar very high- not sure?? You got me on this one Best Shawarma. Will take my $ to one of the many other Swawarmas places nearby next time.

Customer engagement was great guys at the corner seemed to have good personalities. My 2 star review leans towards some of the 5 star reviews on here seem like they are fake accounts. I was looking for some good food late at night and came here based on the amount of 5 star reviews. Placed my order maybe 2-3 other tables there I think if he mentioned up front the plate would take 20-25 minutes I would have felt ok about it. I waited and it honestly felt like my order was forgotten about, since he asked how I would like my meat cooked I asked for medium came out well done. Again if it wasn't even an option I wouldn't have minded. Seating is limited maybe about 15-20 people inside some outdoor seating. Considering price, wait time, and some questionable yelp reviews I don't see my self coming back.

Best Shawarma I've ever had! A must try place. Not only is the food incredible but top-notch service every time. Everything is great on the menu but highly recommend the beef shawarma wrap and chicken plate!! Don't forget to ask for their secret sauce and side of tzatziki you won't regret it. Will forsure be back soon!!

This restaurant is a must. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. The staff were friendly and the service was great. If you don't try this spot, you took a L. Varuzh and Leo are the best.

Love this spot, been coming here for a few years. I always get their chicken shawarma or falafel shawarma wrap with pita bread. They make it nice, saucy and fat and don't cheap out! The service is quick and they are always so nice. A cute hole in the wall spot for a quick or sit-down bite.

I was so surprised how good the food was, light weight, most places I've ate shawarma my stomach got upset but this place is the bomb, top it all off best customer service, very respectful, gentle, welcoming place, must try, I brought my friends for the second time and they also loved it, thank you for the good food and hospitality.
