Miya Miya

Miya Miya is a Jordanian shawarma stand in West LA from chef Yaz, who trained with shawarma makers in Jordan and imports spice mixes and pomegranate molasses from there. It began as a Smorgasburg vendor and now operates outside its planned brick-and-mortar on West Olympic Boulevard.

The shawarma

The chicken is marinated for 48 hours and carved from a four-foot spit into long, slim wraps of toasted house saj. Order it "The Yaz Way," which adds spicy garlic sauce and pomegranate molasses, and add the beef tallow fries.

Good to know

• It has been open only on Fridays and Saturdays, and lines often run down the block. The Infatuation suggests arriving about 20 minutes early.
• There is a shaded courtyard next door to eat in.
