Avi-Que

Best! The meat is so good and tender! Best shawarma I tried so far! We keep coming back for more, we love it! Thank you Avi!

So my wife and I decided to try this place after we saw it on instagram. It was really good and the quality of the meat did live up to the hype. The meat was really tender and melted in your mouth. For $30 that is exactly what I would expect in terms of quality. Would have liked a plate option since I do not eat fried or pita bread. I ended up settling for just the meat and the toppings. Maybe add some rice to the menu? Aside from that the service was great and the staff did a great job of setting wait time expectations. We waiting for about 10-15 mins for our food. Parking in the lot if limited but there is plenty of street parking.

While exploring Studio City in LA, I stumbled upon this Middle Eastern gem, and it offered an intriguing culinary journey. The wagyu beef dish was an absolute standout, offering a delightful burst of flavors that left me thoroughly satisfied. Additionally, the cauliflower dish was quite good, although it paled slightly in comparison to the wagyu beef. One remarkable aspect of this dining experience was the incredibly friendly service. The attentive staff added an extra layer of warmth to the meal. It's worth mentioning that the restaurant has a generous amount of seating, although predominantly in high-top style, which encourages a more casual, in-and-out dining experience. If you're seeking a Middle Eastern culinary adventure in Studio City, this restaurant should be on your list. The wagyu beef alone is worth the visit, and the friendly service adds to the overall charm of this establishment.

I didn’t know what to expect but I knew it was a unique beef and a different way to make shawarma. The food is so tasty really something you need to try and experience. Little pricey but for wagyu beef it’s well worth it.

Avi cue is by far the best shawarma in America. Highest quality of meat, amazing tahini and amba. Thank you Avi for that!!!! Worth every penny!!!!!

I have Uber eats driver job on side. I’m usually picking up orders from here. I know staff and manager there. They are the best, always appreciate to drivers, they were giving a coffee and water with no problem for free. Then I decide to try a food there after a wild. I got sandwich and it was so, so delicious, I’m fan of shawarma. This is my best place right now. Next day I brought my girl there, she loved a food too. I can tell that they are so good for drivers and customers. 5 stars ✌️

A very atmospheric and cozy place. They really love their customers here: shawarma has a lot of meat, not just meat, but also with the addition of spices - it’s incredibly tasty and unlike anything I’ve tried before, it’s a completely new taste for me. The shawarma is so juicy and delicious that you will definitely want to come back! Special thanks for the fact that our shawarma was carefully packaged in good containers and sauces (you can’t buy this sauce in a store - it’s as unique as the food). Thank you guys, you are the best!

Once you walk in to Avi Cue, the combination of music and the smell of shawarma its a vibe... It's only WAGYU shawarma - which I've had my share of in many places around the world, but theres something special about the sauces/seasonings here and it's also the quality of the meat. Theres also a hummus dish that is delicious. My wife who's not a big meat eater loves it too because obviously its vegetarian. My 9 year old son is very picky on what he eats and he LOVES the arayes, which is WAGYU ground beef stuffed in a pita and cooked in its own juices so good... Make sure to use the sauce on the table its tahini and amba oh if you like a little spicy get the green sauce on the side!!

This place is so.freaking.good. The wagyu schwarma sandwich is what I always get. The sauces are fantastic, the portion is a good size ( looks smaller but it’s very filling). The sauces are unique and delicious and the pita is sooo soft, best pita I’ve ever had. The arayes is good too. It reminds me of a quesadilla version of the sandwich. The free mud coffee is awesome, perfectly sweet, and did I mention free? My only complaint is the fries. They’re a bit soft, soggy and greasy. Good flavor though. They should make them crispier and then they would be perfect. I hope this place succeeds because it’s the best schwarma like food I’ve had in town.

Outstanding food and outstanding service!!!!! I loved it so much in fact, I ordered four more sandwiches to go to give to family and friends back home in San Diego. Worth the drive.

One of the best shawarmas in LA! Delicious Wagu beef, juicy, tender. Well balanced with fresh salads in the pita. Must try. Hummus is fantastic, chicken shawarma is solid too. Worth the trip. Coffee is complimentary too:-) taste like home.

Been wanting to try AviCue for sometime. Got the chance today. I ordered the Fried Cauliflower and a Chicken Shawarma plate. My wife ordered the OG Wagyu Beef Shawarma Pita. She also got a Fried Cauliflower. We shared a Malbi (Cream Custard) dessert. I have to say everything was very tasty. I think that next time I'll just get the Chicken Shwarma Pita, as the plate is essentially the same. Maybe a slightly larger portion of Shawarma. But with the plate you stuff your own pita. The dessert was the highlight. It was very good. All in all a good experience

Absolutely loved this place. The food is super fresh and flavorful, and the quality is top tier. The Wagyu beef shawarma is one of the best I’ve ever had — tender and delicious — and the chicken shawarma is amazing too. Great sauces and sides, and the staff is fast and friendly.

Simply some of the best shawarma I’ve ever had. I got the OG Wagyu Beef Shawarma w/ fries. Absolutely out of this world. I also really like how they offer a half pita option for people who don’t need such a big meal. I can’t wait to go back!

We traveled about an hour to get some delicious shawarma, and it was completely worth it! We weren’t disappointed with our decision. I ordered a half pita with the house-made kebab — the ingredients were fresh and flavorful, and the meat was amazing. The atmosphere was great, and the staff was super friendly and helpful.

Wow. The Wagyu shawarma was amazing. Pita is so soft and perfect. Wagyu flavorful. They don’t skimp on the Wagyu either - the half pita was overflowing. I also tried the arayes - also delicious. Pita has a nice little crisp to it, and the toppings gave it a hint of sweetness. Fair amount of searing inside. No outdoor seating. Parking lot is a little small, but there is a free lot. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area!

I visited AVI CUE recently and was genuinely impressed by everything — from the food to the atmosphere and service. I tried the Wagyu Shawarma Sandwich, and it was next-level delicious. The beef was incredibly tender, perfectly spiced, and paired beautifully with the fresh veggies, tahini, and amba sauce in a soft, warm pita. It’s rich, flavorful, and absolutely worth the hype.

The Chicken Shwarma and Fries were delicious. Friendly service. Everyone was so nice. Thanks for a great lunch!

The Best Shawarma. I have been eating here once a week (Sometimes twice a week) for more months than I can remember and the experience is always the same. Absolutely Delicious!! The consistency of the Wagyu beef, the softness of the Pita, the crispness of the beef tallow fries, and the delicious sauces available for every bite makes me come back over and over. The portions are hearty and filling. You get what you pay for with Avi Cue, quality in every bite. The restaurant is always clean and the staff has been friendly even when asking what's in every dish on the menu. I will continue to come to Avi Cue as long as the doors are open, highly recommended you will not be disappointed.

Ordered delivery from Avi Cue and it totally hit the spot. I got the 2-for-1 chicken shawarma half sandwiches, and they were next level. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. Wrapped in soft, warm pita with fresh toppings and sauce—it all came together beautifully. It showed up hot and neatly packed, which I really appreciated after a long morning out on the job. Let’s just say this was exactly the kind of lunch I needed. Big flavor, generous portions, and a solid deal. Avi Cue just earned a repeat customer.

I was skeptical about Wagyu Shawarma, but it was delicious. I also took the chicken which was delicious also. The loaded fries are homemade and you can really feel the difference from industrial ones. They are so good. I also took a Malaby that was served with Syrup peaches on top and pistachio. Oh my God, that was so good. there is room to sit, music is good and bathroom is very clean. Staff members do a great job and black mud coffee is free at the end of your meal. I highly recommend this place.

If you’re a fan of lamb, then you’ll absolutely love this place. I’m not crazy about lamb so it wasn’t the best experience for me. I was under the impression that this was 100% wagyu beef, but they cook their beef with lamb fat so you get a strong lamb flavor in every bite. Still great service, and my friends who came with me really enjoyed it

Outstanding food and friendly, courteous service. The arayes was the star but the salad was also delicious. Fries were a little less crispy than I prefer, but still very tasty. Loved it and will return.

Best Shawarma in LA!! I’ve never ate something this amazing out here in LA, from the steamed Pita Bread to the perfectly prepared Wagyu Shawarma. I definitely will come back. Great service, very nice and clean establishment. It’s not cheap, but that’s everything in life so pick your battles

This is the spot you tell only your friends about and never your enemies. Just the most amazing food you can pick up in a hurry. The love, creativity and passion for food is so vibrant in every bite of food. I don't know what sacrifices or deal with a devil was made to create these recipes, but I fully support and respect the art that is served up hot daily at this establishment. Do yourself, your family and taste buds a favor and treat yourself to some Avi Que! P.S. the parking lot is shit.

I order from here almost every week. Favorite pita and hummus in town. Adding the wagyu to the hummus is great, but honestly love just getting the hummus straight up. The chicken and wagyu shawarma sandwiches are good, though a bit greasier than the average shawarma spot. Overall one of my favorite spots!

I had a pita with spicy kebab and it was absolutely amazing! One of the freshest and tastiest places I’ve eaten at. Everything felt homemade, full of flavor, and truly authentic. It was like a real Israeli food experience — delicious, warm, and satisfying. Highly recommended!

I had the spicy kebab pita and it was absolutely amazing! Everything is handmade and you can really taste the quality and care in every bite. The flavors were perfect, the kebab was juicy with just the right kick of spice, and overall it was a perfect meal. 100% worth the price — I would definitely come back again!

The best shahwarma in town I should have taken a picture. It was so good. Very tender full of flavor. The pita bread was like amazing it didn't fell a apart and fluffy.

Alex Kaplan

We come here everytime we're in town ! We even flew in couple of times from Vegas just to eat and take more shawarma home ! Definitely best shawarma in the west coast, maybe in the entire US.

The food is good but overpriced. I mean, charging 15 dollars for half a pita with meat is too much. Even if it's wagyu. The Arais is too thin and not too much flavor. I liked what I ate but expected something better for that price.

I love Shawarma with Tahini sauce. When I found this restaurant accidentally as I picked up the order for UberEats customer, I knew I saw them on Instagram before, so I decided to go back the next day drove from Hollywood and tried Wagyu shawarma and fries. I liked it except lamb. I’m not a fan of lamb that comes with distinct smell, so next time I’ll request without lamb. Also when I saw it on instagram, their fries were much bigger than what it is now. The name Wagyu is exaggerating since their meat didn’t come from Japan obviously, but overall I liked it ( minus lamb) and definitely try it again and again when I go back to Studio City. The staff was professional and attentive. Their free coffee is a wonderful treat for me.

This is the best shawarma I’ve ever had. I would leave it at that, but the service is also impeccable. To top it all off, the custard cardamom dessert they have is unbelievable. I literally can’t believe how good it is. Yeah thats all. I didn’t try the fries but they look real good. Edit from may 2025: don’t know if i got unlucky but i came back to visit LA and was excited to get another shawarma. My shawarma “wagyu” meat was cold, tough and gristly. I could barely eat half of it. Totally unchewable. Fries were good, malabi was good and pita was good.

We won't be back anytime soon. It's fast food with lackluster flavor. The high tables make it very uncomfortable to relax.

It is rare to find good shoarma in LA/CA and it continues to be. I think the meat at avi is great but it is waaay too salty and therefore the salt overshadows all. I also miss a yoghurt/tzatziki or garlic based white sauce to balance the spicy sauce. Avi’s spicy sauce was very nice but with shoarma I personally prefer the middle eastern harrisa based spicy sauce. I love avi’s cooking style but I think the sandwich needs some work - nothing wrong with improving feedback based over time ✅ Or maybe i’m the only one and then I’ll shut up and just make it myself ;-)

This was my first time dining here. The meet tasted good but the bread was very soft and saggy. Also, the hygiene was not up to standard as there was food on the floor. The staff member who handled the payment was not welcoming. The service was poor, and the waiter’s attitude was rude. Overall, a disappointing experience. Definitely not coming back to this place.

I ordered via Postmates, two of the Wagyu Shawarma Sandwiches. They were delivered very quickly, but came COLD. like not lukewarm, actually COLD. I’m so confused… this is the first time I’ve ever ordered food and it came like it was in the fridge prior. After reheating them in my oven, they did taste good. I’m in shock they literally sent these out cold. Makes me wonder if these sandwiches are pre-made?

Food was tasty.. BUT!! They make a pita sandwich look MUCH larger than it actually is. They are small. And they charge $4.50 for an 8 oz Diet Coke but for a regular coke, same price — it’s 12 oz.. make sure you read the size.. Their food is delicious but sooooo expensive for what you get in comparison to other restaurants. I was still hungry.

Way over price, the meet super salty. That means the chef doesn't know meat also comes with nothing on the side. Noisy music. Uncomfortable chairs. Bad all around. Bad fries for 5 extra dollars Very disappointed

This place is terrible! Slow, rude, dirty, overpriced! Stay away!! I was dazzled by the ability of this place to be the worst establishment I’ve been to in years!! 2 thumbs down! Negative stars, avoid this place like the plague! Check my pic, the guy in the white shirt works hard, the tall guy is a waste of space!

Unfortunately, not longer my favorite spot. The meat was extremely salty and dry. It used to be very good, but unfortunately quality is not worth the price. $30 for dry meat. Besides that the music was blasting very loud. Not a good experience overall

Tasteless, nasty imo chicken shawarma, barely anything in the wrap besides chicken, half a tomato, Is salt and pepper even a thing? 😂 uber eats 2 inch pita??😭😭if I’m paying 14$ I want a normal sandwich. Ordered 2 sandwiches the same
