Value

Best Shawarma is a casual strip-mall spot on West Glenoaks Boulevard in Glendale that has earned its name with LA food critics. The Infatuation rates it 7.9 and includes it in its guide to the best shawarma in the city.

The shawarma

The lamb shawarma is the reason to go, balancing smokiness with citrus. You can have it in a pita wrap, on a plate with rice, or on a soft French roll. Thick-cut fries and a nutty tahini sauce round it out.

Good to know

It is a counter-service, no-frills spot, good for a quick lunch.
Glendale has one of the largest Armenian communities in the US, and several of LA's best shawarma spots are within a short drive.
