York Kabob — Restaurant in Los Angeles

It's a shame these guys aren't even trying.

I arrived at 11:25 to pick up my online order scheduled for 11:30. 2 men; one 50+, the other in his late 30's were sitting outside at one of the tall tables just outside the restaurant that opened at 11.

No customers were inside, only a 50's woman behind the counter.

The younger man came inside to help package up my order - I was on my way by 11:30 - this is the good part.

I ordered the .......................

The beef was plentiful yet clearly cooked on another day. Dry and lifeless. The salad portion (iceberg lettuce with some spinach leaves with black spots on them) was cleverly placed beneath the beef and right next to the warm rice - rendering it warm. Why it wasn't placed with the slice of raw red onion in a separate compartment - I don't know. Dressing tasted like lemon juice.

The tabbouleh tasted fresh - however it lacked flavor and was way too heavy on parsley. The rice was good. The small container of garlic sauce already had a darker, drier top to it - definitely made on another day and left in the container - to serve. Too lazy to even stir day old sauce and place it in the container fresh for the customer?

The star of the plate was the chicken. Plump, juicy, tender and well seasoned. My guess - fresh this day.

It's sad when they...

This place is awesome, I come here to grab lunch for my wife at least once a week and my wife has enjoyed their food many times. As for me I'm all about customer service and the people that work here are so nice and honestly very kind. They treat you with respect and make you feel very welcomed. If its your first time coming to their restaurant and dont know what to get, they give you options based on what you like, they also have a menu with pictures of their yummy dishes to give you an easier way of placing ypur order. This is one of the reasons why I keep coming back here to get lunch.

This little spot is well hidden on the corner of the mini shopping center so you might miss it if you drive too fast on York Blvd.

Methods of payment are Cash, VISA and Master Card logo credit and debit cards from what I have used so far to pay for our meals. So they have many ways for you to pay vs the cash only establishments.

I high recommend stopping by and giving...

Update 8/25/2025:

I wanted to make an update since some things have changed since I initially wrote my first review. This is still easily one of my top three Mediterranean spots in the area. The flavors are always on point, the portions are generous, and the quality has stayed consistent over time. One thing that has changed, though, is the gradual price increase. The chicken kabob plate, which comes with hummus, pita, rice, and salad, used to be about $17 but is now closer to $20 or more. I feel a little conflicted because for the taste and portion size it still feels worth it. At the same time, if you are bringing a date or ordering for more than one person you should expect to spend a bit more than you...
