" Wow, what an experience! I had the salmon plate, which was cooked to perfection and tasted incredibly fresh. The atmosphere was very friendly, and I love supporting a business run by YouTubers! My only complaint was the wait time during peak hours. However, the quality of food makes it all worthwhile. Will certainly come back for the baklava next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a great dinner at Anwar's Kitchen! The staff was super helpful in recommending dishes. I went for the falafel wrap, and it was fresh and packed with flavor! The decor makes it a nice spot for photos too. The only downside was the noise level; it could get a bit loud. Overall, I left very satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful dining experience at Anwar's Kitchen! The garlic sauce is to die for, and it pairs perfectly with the shawarma. I loved the atmosphere and the fact that it's open late. The staff treated us well, though they seemed a bit rushed. Each dish we tried had a home-cooked quality, reflecting authentic flavors. Will definitely be back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Anwar's Kitchen and was completely blown away by the quality of the food. The chicken shawarma was the best I've had in LA, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. I also enjoyed their falafel which was wonderfully crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were friendly. I will definitely be returning to try more dishes, especially after seeing others rave about the baklava! " (*Curated Review*)

" Anwar's Kitchen is a culinary gem! The moment I stepped in, I felt a warm greeting from the staff. The decor is inviting, reflecting its Mediterranean roots. I tried the beef shawarma wrap, and it was rich in taste, though I found the portion slightly smaller than expected. However, the flavors were so rich that I didn't mind. Their garlic sauce is something I could dip everything in! Overall, a pleasant experience and I will surely return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Never have I tasted such incredible Mediterranean food! Anwar's Kitchen serves up delightful dishes with freshness that shines through in every bite. The only downside was the parking situation, which is quite tough in that area. I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends who enjoy Middle Eastern cuisines. I can't wait to visit again!
