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

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.

Great food and service, can’t say anything bad really. Got beef shawarma and pork shawarma wrap. Both really good, the guy recommend to have it wrapped with lavash over pita bread. That made a difference. The guy was friendly and explaining/recommending things

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.

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.

Amazing food! Love their hummus so much! Thank you! 😊

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!

$24 for a shawarma roll that's as thin as a sausage, plus an overpriced Perrier? That's unacceptable. The portion size does not justify the price at all. Very disappointing experience, and I won't be coming back.

I ate here on a Wednesday and from Thursday to Monday, I had an upset stomach. Employee was nice. Small parking lot for the plaza. Might be difficult to find parking on busy times. Food definitely was not fresh. The hummus was very dry for some reason. The rice was also not fresh. On a good note, I lost some weight.

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.

Came to get a delicious shawarma wrap today. First, I have to say I was greeted with the most kind workers. Second, the wrap was delicious you have to come try it.

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.

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!

Needs Improvement Unfortunately, the experience wasn't great. Everything is hidden behind a door, so you can't see the shawarma or how it's being prepared, which raises some concerns about transparency and freshness. I went during lunch time and the new prepared beef is ready behind the doors, seeing that I asked if it's ready, they said yes and also it hasn't been cut yet.. But to my disappointment, they ended up wrapping the shawarma with what seemed like leftover beef from the previous day. The pieces were clearly smaller cuts and not freshly sliced, which felt very misleading and disappointing then I checked to see if they used the new prepared meet and saw they didn't. Definitely not the quality I expected.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Shoutout to Varouj for being so kind and providing us with water. The food was great, and the service was amazing

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 staff was friendly and the beef kabob plate was great! definitely would come back

The owner of this business has a very rude and ignorant behavior. Can you imagine how he wants a customer to explain to him why he gave him a negative review because he sold me 2 kebabs for more than $40? Instead of correcting his mistakes, he is trying to get even with his customers, thanks to whom he makes money. It's just unbelievable.

Quality has gone DOWN. So sad to say it. Of course price increases are expected but when you increase the price but decrease the portion and quality - that is a scam. They need to figure this out. In a plate they serve rice, lettuce with oil, hummus, & meat. Basically low cost items (except meat) but they are charging so much for what you get. Not okay. Will not return

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!

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.

Customer service was really good , the gentleman brought some sweets out to my family and I for free since it was our first time trying Armenian food. Highly recommend the pork ribs

Overpriced shawarmas with little meat, I shouldn't have to pay 50 bucks for 3 shawarmas, its literally rolls of lavash with barely any meat inside, low quality food is overpriced for what it is. The cashier is nosy and asks questions and sometimes uncomfortable questions instead of minding his own business.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The food was amazing but what stuck me the most was the amazing customer survive. The guy at the register was supper nice a patient with my order, and the food came out in less than 10 min. Very happy about my experience will 100% come back.

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.

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

Amazing food and amazing service -- honestly, not much more needs to be said. I'll definitely be coming back.

definitely get the OMG fries, the pork is nice and crispy. they have legit drinks, only real ones know

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

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.

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 ordering from here for a while now. Amazing customer service, and the food is always delicious. My go-to orders are the beef shawarma wrap and the Oh My Gawd Fries!

Amazing food, made fresh and served warm. Also the staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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

Food was amazing make sure you guys try the OMG fires and the LULA combo 10/10 Varuz and Edgar were great!

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)

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.

I give them one star because found a black hair in my salad. They should work more accurately.

The food here is amazing! I love the shawarma wrap so much and the customer service is very inviting and thoughtful. I love the location too, it's nice to eat there, look outside, and see the mountains (:

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.

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
