The food is so delicious. I was curving for chicken shawrma so bad. Only problem is that none of the middle Eastern food has perfect taste as this. You will love it.

As shouted out in the Beck song "Debra", this is the rotisserie chicken of your dreams that's served with the best garlic sauce anywhere.

So Amazing. Middle Eastern fare: the chicken shawarma platter is just perfect. Get extra garlic sauce and extra meat. Flavorful, moist roasted chicken straight from the rotisserie. – Adam Richman Read more

Chicken tarna wrap (or plate if you’re very hungry) is my go-to order. The garlic sauce is delicious. Is it the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had? No. But, it’s consistently quick and tasty.

This Zankou location has been among my favorites. L.A. is a mecca of dining places but Zankou has been a favorite since 2003. Favorites are chicken tarna with toum (garlic sauce), falafel platter.

Ok I guess location has a lot to do with how the food tastes from one franchise to another. This place tastes the best out of the 3 in my area which include the valley and Hollywood

Chicken and/or steak kabobs for the win after the gym. Call it in and you can skip the wait because they grill 'em to order

Order ahead, park in the to-go spot at the front, avoid the main lot (crazy, even with a valet).

Yes, #14 is the best, but ask for all white meat. It takes an extra 10 mins, but worth it

They're super quick, but since the kebabs are cooked fresh, they take about 10 mins.
