Marouch Restaurant

This Hollywood strip mall joint has been around since 1982 and four decades later, Marouch is delicious as ever. The Armenian-Lebanese menu is noteworthy across the board, which includes the kebabs and shawarma. Available in beef, chicken or lamb, the lule/kefta at Marouch comes hot off the grill with a side of sumac-spiced onions, a blistered tomato and a soft, pillowy bed of rice pilaf. The beef shawarma offers just the right level of salt and spice, and the generously portioned khashkhash entrée (a ground meat kebab made with beef or lamb) still hits the spot with its bountiful mix of onion, tomato, garlic sauce and almond slivers.
