The best shawarma in Glendale, and the city agrees.

422 reviews say so.

Family-run shawarma on West Glenoaks Boulevard, slicing chicken and lamb off the trompo since the line first formed. Pita wraps, plates, sides, and the kind of garlic toum people drive across town for.

the line forms by eleven.

Best Shawarma has been on West Glenoaks Boulevard in Glendale for years. Family-run, family-named, family-everything. Chicken on one trompo, lamb on the other, both turning from open till close.

We do pita wraps, full plates over rice and salad, mezze sides, hummus, baba ganoush, salata, and the garlic toum the regulars take home by the cup. Every wrap is built to order.

Open six days a week. Pickup, dine-in, large orders to go. Cash and card. The line moves fast once it forms — call ahead if you want to skip it.

"Best Shawarma is the only spot I trust for a real chicken wrap in Glendale. Twelve years and the garlic toum is still the best in the city. The line is the proof."

"Walked in for a lamb plate every Thursday for the last four years. Same plate, same chair, same hands. Best Shawarma earned the name the hard way."

"Walked in on a Tuesday at noon. The line was twelve deep. Fifteen minutes later I was eating the cleanest chicken wrap I've had in Glendale. Coming back tomorrow."
