Miya Miya Shawarma

Too much hype. You really can’t trust everything that goes viral on TikTok or Instagram. Almost a one-hour wait in line. As I got closer, I understood why it takes so long. The pace they work at is honestly impressive. They seem to keep the line long on purpose to create hype and give a better impression, but it doesn’t live up to expectations. They could definitely be faster. And the food? Nothing special. Just regular fries like anywhere else and a basic shawarma, which at least matches the price.

This is currently a pop up stand in a residential area. We tried all of the menu items: the regular shawarma, the Yaz way shawarma, and the tallow fries. All were delicious! The wrap was nice and crispy and the chicken was tasty. The pomegranate molasses made for a nice sweet and salty flavor combination 😋 We could observe them cooking the food and it was clear that the food was made with a lot of care and attention. Yaz himself was taking the orders, and he was very friendly. I would definitely come back whenever I am in the area. I wish them the best of luck in opening their brick and mortar store!

10/10 shawarma and 100/10 owners, they’re amazing people with the best service and food around. Miya Miya is well worth the wait (I waited about 90 minutes in line), and it’s in a safe and clean area with tons of late night parking. Try to show up early so you don’t wait too long/miss out on any menu items! I got the Yaz Way Shawarma - so good. I found it to be a pretty lean shawarma that’s savory and delicious, not overwhelming/greasy at all.

Yes, the line is worth it. I finally stopped by last Friday and enjoyed a chicken shawarma wrap. Staff is friendly but I will say, some are just standing around doing nothing. Literally nothing. It takes a good minute for the wraps to be made and then grilled, so I don't know if the 2-3 people standing around had nothing to do, were being trained, or what, but I feel like they could step in to speed up the process. I got in line about a half hour before they opened (4:30) and there were 12 people ahead of me. They opened a few minutes late and once they did, I ordered and got my wrap by 5pm, so it wasn't too bad of a wait. The wrap is toasted so nicely. It's crispy and crunchy and beautiful. They fill it with a good amount of chicken, pickles, and sauce. I ordered the spicy version which had a good kick but not overpowering which was nice. The wrap is juicy, flavorful, filling, and just fantastic. I'll definitely be back!

Best shawarma in town!! The wrap is super flavorful with a unique blend of spices that's nothing like l've ever tasted before. Their fries are also insanely good and fried in beef tallow. Game changer! Super nice guys too. If you haven't tried it you're missing out!

Waited an hour and it was worth it!!! There was a limit to one per person since they’re still just in their pop up era before their brick and mortar opens up - would get two if I could next time. Huge appreciation for an establishment that masters their speciality and have a minimal menu - quality over quantity!

Long line. Got there 10 min before 5:30pm opening and it took about 2 hours to get to the front to order food. Staff and owner were extremely nice and they also limited 1 shawarma per person to make sure everyone in line got to try the food. They take credit card. Food takes about 10-15 more minutes after you order since they cut it off right after charring and need to grill the wrap after. Good overall, juicy chicken, garlicy sauce, and looks small but is filling. Looking forward to the actual store opening for less wait time.

The shawarma was the best I've tasted in LA. The pomegranate molasses inside was a new addition for me and it did not dissapoint. First time I ate fries cooked in beef tallow, and it was simply delicious. You could taste the difference. The owner Yaz was such a great and welcoming guy. I'm excited for him to turn his business from a pop-up into a restaurant in the near future and I hope it will address the issues with wait time for his customers. I will definitley love to stop by again.
