"If you’ve wondered where to find fantastic shawarma in the South Bay, plan a trip to Borjstar. This low-key Garden strip mall spot, run by the former owner of a shawarma spot in the Netherlands, serves Syrian-style wraps and plates filled with juicy chicken or beef shaved from spinning meat towers. The tightly bundled wraps with fries and garlic sauce are tasty, but we’d nudge the truly hungry to the shawarma plate, which comes with flavorful rice, hummus, pita, and a heap of crunchy pickles. Plus, if you’re feeling indecisive, the owners will happily hand you a freshly carved sample to help you decide." - Garrett Snyder
