"Its name might sound like a potential Best Picture nominee, but we’re ready to award this order-at-the-counter shop a separate trophy:best shawarma in Sherman Oaks. Sincerely Syria is run by the people behind the formerly named Hollywood Shawarma, and they serve the same juicy, marinated sliced meat—only now you don’t have to go to Hollywood Blvd. to get it. We absolutely love the chicken shawarma wrap, which comes tightly wrapped in a thin cylindrical pita that’s slightly crunchy and perfectly golden on the outside. It’s an ideal treat to eat while you walk around and run errands on Ventura." - brant cox, sylvio martins

Sincerely Syria is run by the people behind the formerly named Hollywood Shawarma, and they serve the same juicy, marinated sliced meat. We're fans of both the chicken and beef-lamb shawarma wrapa, which come tightly bound in a thin cylindrical pita that’s slightly crunchy and perfectly golden on the outside.

"The strip of restaurants directly on Hollywood Boulevard can be difficult to navigate, especially when looking for a quality quick bite that won’t break the bank. But, the busy strip now has some of LA’s best shawarma being served out of Valley-based Sincerely Syria. The food at the Hollywood outpost is every bit as great as the original Sherman Oaks location, serving griddled wraps stuffed with marinated chicken or beef. Order one of the plates which come with fries, garlic mayo, and Syrian pickles. Place an order online to beat the crowds." - Rebecca Roland
"If we had to pick one shawarma in LA to reign supreme over its cone-shaped kin, it’s the mixed lamb and beef combo from Sincerely Syria (formerly known as Hollywood Shawarma). Thinly sliced and tender as filet mignon, each juicy slice at this Syrian-owned spot is rich with a potpourri of spices. Order one of their pan-grilled wraps and bliss out. This counter-service operation has a takeout window right along the Walk of Fame, with a couple of stools and tables scattered across the sidewalk. It's open until at least 1am daily (and until 3am on weekends) to serve the post-club crowds near Hollywood and Vine." - brant cox
