Sincerely Syria
7.8
Sincerely Syria is a narrow, late-night shawarma and falafel counter on Hollywood Boulevard that has quietly built a loyal following. Wraps come stuffed and crispy, fries are piled high, and sauces skew bold and garlicky. It’s more functional than polished, but for post-show or post-bar eats, it’s one of the tastier, trend-aware budget moves in 90028.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mixed shawarma wrap with fries, Falafel wrap or plate, Garlic fries or loaded shawarma fries

What makes it special: A tiny Syrian shawarma counter turning out crispy, overstuffed wraps late into the night.
Who should go: Night owls craving bold, affordable Middle Eastern street food.
When to visit: Late nights after bars, shows, or Hollywood sightseeing.
What to order: Mixed shawarma wrap, falafel wrap, garlic or shawarma fries.
Insider tip: Ask for extra garlic sauce and have them crisp your wrap on the flat-top for maximum texture.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Hollywood Blvd and nearby side streets is limited and competitive at night; nearby paid lots at Ovation Hollywood or garages off McCadden are the most reliable options.
Dress code: Completely casual — come as you are, from daytime sightseeing attire to late-night bar clothes.
Noise level: Lively street noise from Hollywood Blvd; inside is small but manageable for quick conversations.
Weekend wait: 5–15 minutes depending on bar/show traffic; lines grow after 10pm.
Weekday lunch: No wait or very minimal, usually served immediately.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — falafel wraps, hummus, fries, and veggie sides are solid options.
Vegan options: Yes — falafel and several sides are vegan-friendly, though double-check sauces.
Gluten-free options: Limited — most items are wrap-based; salads and plates can work but there is no dedicated GF prep setup.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a first date unless you’re going for a fun, low-stakes, grab-and-go vibe — it’s a small counter spot with limited seating.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it’s counter-service and first-come, first-served. Expect to stand or take it to-go during peak late-night hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Fine for older kids who enjoy grab-and-go bites, but limited seating and late-night crowds make it less ideal for younger children.
Best For
Better for: Late-night shawarma, fast service, and bold, affordable wraps that outperform nearby tourist-geared spots in flavor and value.
Skip if: You want a sit-down meal, a quieter environment, or broader Middle Eastern menus with full entrées.
