Fine dining it's not. The strip-mall location is drab, the lighting is fluorescent, and the dining room bears an uncanny resemblance to a high school cafeteria. But who really cares when the food is so crunchy-greasy-garlicky good . . and so cheap! Rotisserie chicken is the obvious choice and it's excellent, especially with the house garlic sauce and warm, oven baked pita bread accompaniments. But shawerma -- either as a platter or in a sandwich -- is also worth a try, and so are the kebabs if you've got enough time and patience to wait while they're cooking. If you don't recognize some of the dishes from their menu descriptions, just look at the photographs on the wall. Approach the otherworldly hot pink vegetables that are served alongside your main course cautiously -- they're pickled turnips, and they've got quite a bite. -- Lena Katz

    Many years ago I discovered this place when I used to go to my mechanic to have my car fixed. His wife offered me lunch while I was waiting for my car to be finished. Since that time I have driven many, many miles to get to the Normandie/Sunset location to buy the chicken meal and extra garlic sauce and bread. I love the salad, the hummus. the garlic sauce and chicken.

    My experience was not at all good. the chicken was very salty and tuff
    When we told the lady behind the counter about the food she was not at all concerned. the restaurant we visited was in burbank and was packed when it first opened but now the newness wore off and the word has got around that this location is not like the LA location.
    THe hummas was great but $15.00 for 1/4 cup of hummas is not a very good deal.
