Best Los Angeles Restaurants for Takeout and Delivery, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"The halal carts of New York haven’t really made their way to the West Coast en masse yet, but at least Angelenos have New York Chicken & Gyro. This family-owned halal restaurant started in Canoga Park, before expanding to locations in Pasadena, Venice, and West LA. Since halal is often a street food, it can hold up to the rigors of takeout. Order the mix platter for chicken and lamb over rice and salad, topped with a tangy white sauce. The portions here are quite generous, but adding in an order of sauce-dunked wings is never a bad idea. Order on New York Chicken & Gyro’s website or through Uber Eats." - Rebecca Roland

The 20 Best Places for Chicken Wings in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"When a restaurant labels a dish with the name drip wings, you know it’s serious. New York Chicken & Gyro starts with incredibly juicy wings and then douses them in a creamy sauce that manages to stay crispy. The drip wings, along with the classic crispy wings, are available at all three locations in Canoga Park, West LA, and Pasadena." - Eater Staff

New York Chicken & Gyro Is LA’s Favorite New York-Style Halal Spot - Eater LA

"One of the first things Muheb “Moe” Mehirdel noticed when he moved to Los Angeles in 2015 was the lack of halal cart-style food available in the San Fernando Valley. At the time, the most well-known restaurant serving something that felt similar to it was Halal Guys, a national chain that started as a cart servicing a constant flow of Muslim taxi drivers in New York City. While the Los Angeles Halal Guys outpost had a similar menu to its New York counterpart, the taste of its food paled in comparison to the food back in Mehirdel’s hometown of Flushing, New York, where halal carts that serve meat and rice platters, along with gyros, dot nearly every block. Missing the food he was raised on and seeing an opportunity to cater to the local Muslim community, Mehirdel decided to bring his nostalgic version of New York-style halal food to Los Angeles. For Mehirdel, the decision to open New York Chicken & Gyro in Canoga Park was natural. Back in New York, his extended family owns a handful of halal restaurants across the state, including Shah’s, Hamza & Madina, and Naz’s. When Mehirdel’s father, Habib, and brothers, Sam and Hafiz, joined him in California, the family completed work on the first location in a storefront that was previously a pizzeria. For the new restaurant, Mehirdel envisioned a menu that would bring a taste of Queens to the city he now called home. New York Chicken & Gyro opened its doors in June 2017. Recipes served in the restaurant take cues from best-selling dishes at the New York restaurants run by Mehirdel’s family and the halal carts he frequented growing up. The menu spans dishes including chicken, lamb, and falafel, which are available as a platter with basmati rice, salad, and a housemade white sauce or tucked into a gyro sandwich that comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and white sauce wrapped in pita. The restaurant also sells hamburgers, fish, crispy hot wings, creamy “drip” wings, and chicken nuggets. For New York Chicken & Gyro to be considered halal, the Mehirdels had to find purveyors that offered halal-certified meat at a price point that allowed them to keep the cost of dishes on the menu affordable. Currently, the restaurant works with Wayne Farms and Delta Valley, which sell certified halal products in addition to their non-halal meat." - Rebecca Roland

"New York City Chicken & Gyro’s mission is to bring a bit of New York-style halal street food to Los Angeles. Try the lamb, beef, or chicken gyro at locations in Canoga Park, West LA, and Pasadena. The saucy chicken wings doused in a proprietary sauce are the standouts." - Mona Holmes

An absolute gem. The staff is so welcoming and super friendly. Always smiling. Kiona is so sweet and gives amazing service. The kitchen staff is brilliant. Food is to die for. I am a chef and I am saying that this place rocks. Quality and quantity. Please don’t ever change. My go to spot when craving gyros.

I finally had the chance to come and try this place today which I couldn't believe I didn't come sooner. I was across the street picking up my order so I decided to stop by this place to get some food. This place is in a plaza with limited parking spot so just be aware of that. When I walked inside, I was greeted right away by Sammy and I looked at their menu. I went with the chicken gyro, fries and a drink. Your drink can be fountain drink or bottle in the fridge. I stayed safe with getting a fountain drink. They also have a kiosk that you can order from in the place and the dining experience can fit a good amount of people inside. There artwork on the wall and also a TV to keep people entertained. My food was made quickly and I took it home to eat it. I really like the chicken gyro from this place because the seasoning was great and there was no extra stuff like sour cream. I thought the fries were okay. The customer service was great when I was here and I'm planning on coming back in the future.

What a beautiful complete meal with chicken gyro, drink of your choice, and fries! GYRO - 4/5 Perfect amount of chicken and flavor, not too much sauce. Can't complain here. Savory marinated chopped chicken, with lettuce and tomatoes topped with their special white sauce wrapped in a warm pita bread. FRIES - 3/5 Fresh, but a bit too salty for me. SERVICE - 4/5 Friendly staff, everyone was hospitable. PARKING & AMBIENCE - 4/5 Small tiny shopping plaza with parking if you're lucky. It's on the Main Street of Topanga so it gets busy. Inside is very inviting especially because of the tall ceiling and open floor plan.

New York Chicken and Gyro is absolutely amazing! The food is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. Portion sizes are generous, and the service is super friendly.

The location is on NW corner of Topanga canyon and Saticoy ave. They have a strip mall parking area ( kinda limited by space,) I went and was offered a lamb or chicken gyro combo, they offered me a small sample of lamb and chicken, I decided on Lamb. The Lamb combo was delish. The Gyro was very filling, The fries were crispy, it has a slight crust. It was very good! All fries should be like this. The service was very friendly and professional. The Dining area was kept clean, it has a high ceiling and has 2 large screen TVs, the place is kept hopping with customers coming in and picking up their orders most of their business is for pickups

The BEST gyros in this town or the next! I have been coming here for years and have always left full and satisfied. All of the meat options are beyond flavorful; my favorite is the lamb but seriously the chicken and beef are just as good. The white sauce is the best Mediterranean sauce I’ve had on a gyro, it’s so rich and creamy and they don’t skimp on it; I’ve never once complained about dry food, an issue I run into often with other gyro shops. The falafel, also fantastic. Super crispy, HEAVILY spiced and always hot. The platters are also a great choice if you are looking for something healthier; it’s my go-to diet craving. Another note is that the service is always super fast and efficient; I don’t think I’ve ever waiting more than 10 minutes for my meal. The prices are also incredible, which is just the cherry on top. New York Chicken & Gyro is fantastic. Come here if you haven’t and you’ll keep coming back.

I found a hair at the end of my meal and now I’m feeling sick 🤢. I’ve eaten here in person many times, and the food is always good—never had any issues. But when I ordered delivery, the experience was completely different.

If you’re looking for an amazing dining experience, look no further than New York Chicken and Gyro! The food here is simply fantastic—each bite is packed with flavor, and the variety on the menu is impressive. The chicken is always juicy, and the gyros are perfectly seasoned. What really sets this place apart, though, is the exceptional service. The servers are friendly, attentive, and always make you feel welcome. They go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a meal with friends, New York Chicken and Gyro is the place to be! Highly recommend!

So I'm leaving this review to let folks know that New York Chicken & Gyro is the real deal! Weird thing I have an allergy to cilantro not a big deal for most, but it is to me. Really wanted falafel for dinner tonight, so I called around everywhere around me put cilantro in their falafel which I can't fathom twice and cilantro does not belong in falafel at all considering where it comes from. Too much surprise this place doesn't do it. Also it's kind of cool. The place here is Halal in the quality of food now for those of you that don't know what that is. That's the Arabic version of Kosher so I gotta tell you the qualities to be the top shelf that is the best. I'm really looking forward to eating here. The minute I walked in I was greeted by the places seem to forget that little touch but they didn't. It's immaculate inside. Smells delicious when you walk in and you take a breath into your nose. Your tummy is already growling and you haven't even ordered yet. we ordered an advance. My car smells amazing and my tummy is grumbling because it wants to eat. This is not our first time here, but it won't be our last. I can't wait to eat through the menu. Did I mention they are open late at night? You don't know them check them out. Be glad you did and you're welcome. *** UPDATE*** OMG it is delicious! The oil, if I didn't know any better, was filtered! That was the cleanest falafel. I've eaten probably 20 years not greasy at all if you're looking for that traditional delicious falafel you will not find a better one than here and trust me. I'm 6 foot three. I've eaten my weight and falafel and I'm telling you, I know a thing or two about falafel. This is the finest falafel ever eat.

Totally reminds me of the delicious late night carts of food in New York! I always get the mix platter. The chicken and lamb are juicy. The salad is fresh. The rice is aromatic, herby, fragrant. And the sauce is the boss. Love the white and spicy red sauce. I love that this place is open late, available for delivery, low priced, and large portioned. Such great value! The place is fun, clean, and casual with a tiny parking lot. Which is why i love getting delivery. I appreciate they staple the bags shut for the delivery orders.

Party of 2. Totally satisfied. Don't think about it. Just go eat here. One of the best gyros I have had in a while. Full of flavor and huge for the price. Hubby had the chicken sandwich which he enjoyed as well. I will definitely come back if in the area.

Stopped in for an early lunch as a recommendation from a friend. A clean, black base color theme on the inside with graffiti/mural/abstract type artwork on the walls with a heavy presence of New York landmarks. The owners Sam and Mo are natives there. After checking out the menu, I ordered the Falafel Gyro combo, comes with fries and a drink. The sandwich has fresh veggies and served on a warm pita. The falafel were slightly crunchy on the outside and seasoned on the inside. Nothing special about the fries but they were hot and crispy. You get a choice of can or fountain drink with the combo. Located in a small strip mall with a shared parking lot with limited spaces. Overall I enjoyed the food and the experience

This is a great option for anyone looking for New York style gyros! The atmosphere is very unique with graffiti decorations and music bumping but the quality and service is exceptional. The food came out within 5 minutes and the white sauce did a great job complimenting the chicken gyro. The parking situation is definitely not ideal, as it is right off of Topanga Canyon and has only around 5 parking spaces. If you can find parking, it's a cool little spot to hit

Great food and staff. Super friendly and a great spot to grab some food. Their fries are also really tasty. I like to do half salad and half rice. Sauces are great, and I always feel full. I wish their parking situation was better. I've often had to leave because their lot was full.

Tried the fried fish platter today and boy did it hit! Especially with the spicy sauce. I would have never chose to order it but after seeing everyone else rave about it I decided to give it a shot.

Wow -- all those 5 star reviews are true as this place rocks! Located in a small strip mall in the northern part of Canoga Park, they really deliver on the flavor. We ordered via their app and picked up our food which consisted of: - Drip Wings - sauced and breaded so they are not crispy but very tender. May try the crispy hot wings next time - Chix and Lamb Mix on Pita - TONS of properly spiced meat with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Their signature "White" sauce is the bomb. Will order it with extra onions next time. Enough meat for two sandwiches at a great price. - Chix Pita Wrap - Love the red spice (but not spicy) seasoning on the meat. The white sauce really makes this one shine. Comes with hot sauce if you wanna add a kick. Parking a bit tricky as it's a small lot -- but was lucky to nab a spot. We will come back for sure as I love their take on Gyros.

I have visited this place multiple times during the years - always the same quality and the same taste. It shows how consistent they are. Quality and service level is high. I usually get a Mix Gyro (lamb/chicken mix). Big portion, fresh ingredients. I like their sauce but for me its not a comfort food I grew up with as a foreigner thats why I give this place 4/5. I just cant eat it more than like once in few month. Outside of that everything is at the highest level. The parking is good. Service is fast. Recommended

75% Salad 25% Rice so I still respect myself in the morning, this mix bowl with chicken and gyro is tasting incredibly delicious as always. I put the obligatory white sauce and drip sauce on top and each bite is juicy, tender and full of freshness. Tonight I decided to pair the bowl with my favorite Michelada drink, which is the Clamato-flavored Budlight Michelada from 7/11 -- a lot of clamato flavor but not too much sodium. A perfect pairing and a super delicious to-go late night meal! Now back to my movie.

This spot dunks on Halal Guys. The lamb plate is packed with flavor, the gyro's a beast, and that white sauce? Legendary. I drown everything in it and always take a big bottle home. Crispy fries, juicy meat, bold vibes, and that neon "FORGET AAABOUT IT" says it all. Certified fire.

Wow, what a surprise here. I have driven past this spot forever and never tried it out. Decided to give it a shot, this is a great spot, would not know it from the street. Very cool inside, graffiti art on the walls, dark floors and walls, bright kitchen and a really friendly staff. Service was fast and everyone was helpful. Now to the best part, the food, soo good. Got the mix plate which is half chicken and half lamb on a bed of rice and a 1/4 salad with their white sauce. Ordered a couple pitas as well, the plates don't include pitas. Also, got an order of Falafels and a chicken Gyro. OMG, coming back soon, so much flavor, the white sauce was on point, you can get some hot sauce as well, recommended to get a handful of the hot sauces and go to town with them. I liked the lamb more than the chicken, but both are great. Next time I think I will get all lamb though. Falafels were good, not dry and a nice flavor palette to them. The plates give you a ton of food, so that is the way to go. The Gyro was basically a plate wrapped in a pita, excellent, but you don't get nearly as much food as the plates. The plates are only $12.99 and the Gyro's are $10.99. As of this posting (9/24/24) if you check in on Yelp, you get a free soda. Also, all meals come with free ice cream at the end, at least as of now. The ice cream really hits the spot after the meal. The parking is tight here, at the corner of Topanga and Saticoy. So be prepared for that. Don't let that stop you from trying this spot, one of my favorites I have been to in a while. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Better than halal in New York! No. Competition. I've been getting food from here for years. They never disappoint. Chicken over rice and the chicken gyros topped with their homemade white and hot sauce are crazy addicting. Staff exemplifies good management, which is also why I believe their food is....just that good. Their Pasadena location, however, is not the same. Their white sauce tastes like hidden valley ranch, and I don't do preservative ridden salad dressings. if the owner reads this, you might want to check up on that location. Place closes late too, but parking can be a mission.

This place is incredibly delicious. I usually get the half and half gyro with chicken and lamb, but I also love the gyro with just lamb. The meat is cooked really nice and all of the flavors are spot on. The vibe of the place definitely reminds you of a New York inspired business so they got that right. Every single time I've been in, the staff are always super friendly and the food is ready in minutes. Definitely recommend!

The food that I had here was great. The mixed gyro is so good that it is hard to stop eating. The French fries are good too but could use some sort of seasoning, not complaints through. The service that my friends and I had here was better than most places. They go over the top and ask if you need anything multiple times and even recommend their multiple options of sauces which of course go well with your gyro. The overall atmosphere is cool and not over the top or crowed. It's has a cool style to it...just look at all the pictures that are posted.

NY Chicken and Gyro 4.75 Star Rating If you're craving authentic halal chicken and rice west of NYC, NY Chicken and Gyro in Canoga Park needs to be the place you go! This place is the real deal, and I'm a proud regular here. Value - 5 For $13.99, you get a dinner plate LOADED with meat, salad, and their bomb basmati rice. Seriously, the portions are gigantic, and it's a great value for what you get. Plus, they're never stingy with the sauces - want five white sauces? Absolutely! Food - 5 The flavor here is perfection, with a wonderful burst in every bite. This is hands-down the best halal chicken and rice you'll get this side of actual NYC. And seriously, do not sleep on their falafel. It's incredibly flavorful and moist, unlike those dry, bland pucks you get at most other places. Service - 5 The owners are originally from NYC, and their story of moving to LA, missing halal food, and starting their own place is just super cool. They're clearly all about ensuring you have the best experience and are always generous with the sauces. Physical Location - 4 Yeah, parking here sucks because it's in a tiny strip mall, but honestly, waiting is totally worth it for this deliciousness!

The customer service at New York Chicken & Gyro is top notch! Immediately when I entered this restaurant I was greeted with the friendliest person ever, and every worker that spoke to me were up beat and extremely friendly. Their friendliness definitely added to my experience. Besides the friendly workers my first impression was that this space has some cool art work and is very clean. There is a ton of seating too which is nice. The menu is simple and everything sounded good. I got the mix gyro and some fries. I absolutely loved the mix gyro, it was delicious and filling. I think I preferred the lamb meat so next time I'll just get a lamb gyro. The fries were delicious too. I loved all the sauces they gave as well, they really tied the gyro together. Definitely give this place a try if you're looking for a gyro!

I've only had gyro once before so I'm no expert. This gyro wasn't as greasy and messy as the other that I tried. Really tasty with their sauces -- a ranch-like sauce and a hot sauce. It's a decent size that'll fill you up. Their fries are really standout though; nice and crispy on the outside and well seasoned without being too salty at all. Great service, everyone's got a smile and is super friendly in there. The place has awesome wall art too, love the vibe. I was gonna take a picture of the food, but I had already ate it.

5 Stars 5 Years ago This place was so good ab 5 years ago before they decided to put there sauce in packets but unfortunately the quality has never been the same since even after reversing the packets before i could easily finish an entire platter and would feel great but ever since the quality came down the rice and meat just don't taste the same and fill me up extremely quickly in a gross way i genuinely believe this establishment could still come back and go back to how they used to be because the original was one of a kind

I have been visiting this restaurant for over six years. A few years ago, they upgraded the place, and now they have a larger dine-in area. My go-to item on the menu is the chicken platter, which is always prepared perfectly fresh. The flavors of the chicken and rice are unlike anything you have ever tasted. As a family-owned restaurant, they always greet you with a smile. Keep up the excellent work!

Quality of the food and service has always been great. I've been here a couple of times and they are consistent. The amount of food they give is big and flavorful. I usually get the mixed platter that has chicken and lamb. People behind the counter are friendly. Prompt and fast service. Ambiance is great. The walls are designed with NYC street art. It's a spacious store

Delicious!!! First time trying New York Chicken & Gyro. I order their Mix Platter and it definitely delivered. I added extra meat ,instead of their white sauce I got the drip sauce, and all rice no salad. The portion was very good. The chicken and lamb was tender and suuper tasty, normally lamb is very gamey but the Drip sauce made it all just tasty delicious. The drip sauce was a little spicy with a light bbq taste. The rice was very yummy aswell, tasted like a fresh fragrant herb. Pita bread to top it all off :) making all the flavors not to overwhelming and to tame the spice to continue the eatsss! 10/10 definitely recommend this place was delicious

I'm giving this place a 4 star because I don't like their falafel, I personally make way better falafel and I don't want my falafel dry and giving me heartburn . I'm sorry guys, but all your other food is amazing! The meat is good, my family loves your beef, chicken and lamb, love your rice and your portions. Customer service has always been good here, never an issue. It's a little tough to get parking if it's busy. Just prepare yourself for that. It's in a small shopping center, but I'd say the food is worth it if you can get it.

Easy to find but located in a small mini mall with limited parking and it's on a busy main street so parking can be difficult. Once you walk into the restaurant, you realize it's pretty spacious and nice. Second time ordering the chicken platter and it's really good. I really love the salad with the chicken and the white sauce that goes with it. The rice is good too but the salad just goes so well and has a rely fresh taste. They have a nice spicy sauce but get it on the side so you can control how much you eat at a time. I made the mistake of getting it on my food the first time and it's really spicy (and I like spicy). Fries are yummy too, really crispy. Good ratio of chicken to rice and salad, plenty of food (I couldn't finish the whole thing). The flavor of the chicken is really good.

I was going about my day when I received a call from AAA. They informed me that the restaurant had contacted them to report that I'd left my wallet in the parking lot. The employee went above and beyond to track me down and ensure I was notified. A huge shoutout to Moe, Mauricio, and Toro! I'm incredibly grateful for such amazing people. God bless everyone involved, and thank you all! I highly recommend stopping by--the staff is fantastic, and the experience is top-notch. 100% recommended for anyone who hasn't visited yet!

Good place to grab some quick food late night. Their fish platter is pretty good, and it goes well with their hot sauce. But their lamb/gyro platter is a bit dry in my opinion. I think they know that as well and try to compensate by dousing them in ranch/white sauce.

Completely forgot about the whole chicken and rice hype (Halal Guys) until I tried this spot. Saw it on yelp while looking for food parked in the Westfield parking lot. Very close, open late, and prices are fair. I got the combo platter and chicken gyro. Both are PACKED with protein (more chicken than lamb though), good amoujt of rice, and about 3 forkfuls of lettuce/tomato pieces. Their white sauce and red sauce are good in their own way, it's bren years since I've been to the "og" halal guys but from what I remenber this place has more flavor - reregarding sauces and just all around. They use a different grain/type of rice which was a perfect complement to everything else. To be honest though, the platters are just doused in hella sauce so idk how healthy or what is in the sauce (probably some type of soy). They could definitely give their lettuce/tomato pieces in a small container instead of packing it nto the main platter as it adds a very needed crunch. Inside, a lot of seating. High ceilings and graffiti/art everywhere on the walls. Sandy took my order, she was very friendly, helpful, and patient as I asked a few questions about the menu/sauces. No attitude whatsoever and seemed genuinely happy to be there! Will be coming back when I'm in the area.

Stopping here was an afterthought, couldn't find the place I was looking for, but I'll be back. The space is pretty basic : a few tables and chairs. But I was welcomed in like family with the offer to answer any questions. Asked about the lamb vs chicken gyros and was suggested to do the mix. Also ordered a side of falafel. The falafel was fried perfectly. The garbanzo was moist and flavorful. Served with 2 packs of white sauce that turned out to be yummy. The little cup of hot sauce was really tasty. But the gyros? OMG! I didn't know you could get that much meat in a pita. The lamb was moist and flavorful. The chicken was covered in a red spice that gave the chicken a little kick. But the chicken was very moist. Highly recommend this place.

I've seen the clips. Folks lined up for blocks in NYC just to get a plate from the halal carts -- the ones with that famous chicken, lamb, rice, and sauce combo. So when I heard New York Chicken & Gyro was serving that same energy right here, I had to test it for myself. And let me tell you -- it did not disappoint. I got the lamb and chicken platter, and it was flavor from the first bite to the final scrape. Juicy meat, perfectly seasoned rice, and sauces that slapped harder than a subway turnstile. That white sauce? Addictive. That red sauce? Spicy but respectful. The combo? A full-blown flavor symphony. This wasn't just food -- this was a New York halal cart experience, delivered with West Coast convenience. It gave body, soul, and stomach exactly what they were craving. It hit like comfort food and street food had a beautiful, delicious baby. Late-night hunger? Cured. Flavor expectations? Shattered. Regret? Absolutely none. Final Thoughts: * Affordable * Generous portions * Open late * Straight up addictive This place brought NYC street flavor to the block and I'll be back like I never left.

This place is a vibe! Employees are welcoming and chill and talk to you as if you've been homies for awhile lol. This time I came by around 10pm on a Friday, and the lot was STUCK with traffic so I just parked on the street. FOOD: I normally get their platters, but this time I opted for their gyros and I think I like them better (tho they are definitely messier to eat) - Mixed Gyro (lamb + chicken) $10.39: filled to the brim with meat. I almost thought it could use more veggies but after a few bites, there was a good balance of veggies:meat - French Fries $4.15: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside :,) much tastier after a quick 5 minute airfry since it was wrapped in the foil from the take-out order. Slight oily after taste, but dipping it in the sauce was perf Red sauce is a little salty while the white sauce is a little bland. 2 of each is more than enough for the gyro. Overall taste wise I think I prefer Halal Guys but this place is a win for the valley. The biggest downside is how tiny the lot is. The intersection can get pretty busy and the lot only can park like 10 cars and it's a tight fit.

OH and i forgot to add, I was in New York earlier this year and tried the famous "halal guys." Let me tell you guys that NYC GYRO absolutely wipes the floor with them. They had flavorless wings and the platter didn't have the same amount of flavor as this place. Also the wings i got from halal guys had a staple in it... Never had that experience with these guys. 10/10

I hadn't had this place in a while, so wanted to see if it's still good! Was not disappointed. Everything tasted great. We got a mixed platter and chicken platter, both with all rice. I'm not a fan of their salad since it gets too watery, but the rice is good. The location is in a corner with a small parking lot. The service is always nice, place was busy but worth it. It's a small place but give it a shot. Only thing I wish they did was give more of their white sauce on the side.

The staff here is always super polite and friendly. They've really spruced the place up in the last few years! They've decorated the walls and I believe they bought out the unit next door to expand. I usually order the mix plate with both lamb and chicken over salad. You can also get it over rice or half and half. The flavors are delicious!

This gem is so close to my job, and I love that they give us a discount! The food here is so tasty ! The wings here are my absolute favorite. I always have a hard time deciding between chicken and lamb platters or drip wings. The inside of this place is so cool and clean. All employees are so attentive and positive.

A place we have not gotten tired of. We usually get a combo platter and it is so good. Meat is well seasoned. The Portion is big! We can usually share one platter between 2 of us. Tried the falafel and they were so warm and soft inside. I don't usually like falafel or care to try it. Casual spot with seating inside however parking lot is small and very hard to get in and out. Congested parking. The inside has cool graffiti and vibe. Fast service. However when you ask for sauces, they are counting it and reserve it.

We ordered through uber eats and I guess we were pretty hungry but it was yummy to me! I had the lamb and chicken gyro. The lettuce and tomato really made the wrap. The white sauce was needed. Chicken is a little dry but the lamb was good. The falafels were surprisingly tasty as well. Normally I don't like them. I wouldn't exactly order the chicken and rice for kids, a little too spice forward. But for my order. SATISFIED. I ate so quick. HAHA

This is one of our favorite discovery here in the valley. Their food is really good and price is reaonable. Their white sauce is the best I've had so far. We always get here the mixed of lamb and chicken rice platter and my daughter gets the chicken gyro. Everyone here is super nice and helpful and the place is neat and it has gotten bigger too. Though parking can be tough since it is in a small plaza (Topanga Cyn and Saticoy) Too bad I don't have a picture this time since I wasn't the one who picked up our to go food and was so hungry that I we ate then right away

First time trying this place, looked good and had some nice reviews so figured I'd give it a go. I do enjoy Halal type food and the flavors were spot on. You do get a nice size portion for your money. They have a few sauces you can try and even take home if you really like it. I tried a white sauce, a hot sauce and an orange sauce, forgot the names but who cares when they are sooooo yummy? Service was friendly and surprisingly fast. I barely sat down when my number got called. Restaurant was clean and inviting. I liked the artwork on the back wall too. Wish this place was closer to me, but if I'm ever in the area, this place will be on my radar. Oh and the code to the bathroom is 123456, lol!

The food was excellent and the service equally excellent! On top of that, the prices are very affordable. Don't hesitate to dine at the New York Chicken & Gyro!
