"Some people go to Sweetgreen twice a week, and others go to Dr. Sandwich twice a week. We’re in the latter camp. This kosher Mediterranean spot has two locations in the same vicinity, and while the newer one is more spacious and even a little glitzy, the original counter-service spot in a strip mall on Olympic is where you’ll find us on many a lunch hour. Choose between shawarma, kebab, schnitzel, sabich, or falafel, and retrofit it however you please on a pita, laffa, baguette, or as a plate. We mix it up, but the best deal is the plate—for under $20 you’ll have enough food for three full meals." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders
"One thing Dr. Sandwich can do that Sweetgreen can’t is turn $20 into enough shawarma to last you three meals. It’s the best magic trick we’ve seen since a friend’s kid’s third birthday party, and why we’re at this kosher Mediterranean spot often. Dr. Sandwich has a second location in Beverly Grove, and while the newer one is more spacious, the parking situation at the original counter-service spot is better. Your pita sinks into their thick, creamy hummus like quicksand, the falafel sandwiches are stuffed with as much roasted eggplant as humanly possible, and the golden chicken shawarma is shaved fresh off the spit." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Dr. Sandwich has received various accolades from respectable sources (us). With two locations near each other in Beverly Grove, this kosher Mediterranean spot makes some of LA’s best shawarma, best salads, best falafel, etc. If you asked us for a fast-casual Mediterranean lunch spot, we’d probably send you here. This counter-service spot does staples made with noticeable finesse, like creamy hummus topped with sweet, roasted garlic, thinly pounded chicken schnitzel in chewy sesame baguettes, and falafel pitas with as much cabbage, roasted eggplant, and tahini as humanly possible crammed inside." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Your Order: Istanbul Salad The Istanbul Salad at Dr. Sandwich is the textbook definition of a “meal salad”—it involves the same heaping pile of juicy chicken shawarma you’d get on their standard plate but comes served on a big bed of cucumbers, tomatoes, and shredded cabbage. There’s also smoky roasted eggplant, sweet grilled onions, and a bright lemon vinaigrette cut with the tahini on top. This salad also holds together well in the fridge, which is a key detail because, ultimately, it’s a lot of chicken and cabbage to get through in one sitting.
