    We stopped in for a beer and grabbed a couple appetizers. Great little spot with a friendly and very attentive staff. We loved this place and we will definitely be back soon.

    My wife and I have been coming to this place a couple of times now. Time Saver: Order online! Seating is available inside and out. Some regular tables and high chairs (for adults) are available inside. There is a seated bar area as well. The environment is interestingly decorated (it's nice!). The folks working behind the counter are welcoming and patient with the customers reading the menu. Parking is on a first come first served basis on the street metered parking. There are parking garages throughout the area. Food is delicious. Soft drinks are good. The alcoholic beverages look even better. I have yet to try them :) Overall, a good place to escape the other common restaurants located around. Thank you and God Bless.

    Overall: 4.2/5 (Postmates delivery) The food delivered earlier than expected. I liked the food but had better. However, I was able to get a huge chunk of my daily vegetable intakes from it so I'm happy. Doner Basket ($16.75): The portion is huge so we had leftovers enough for another meal. Their fried pita stick was hard so I wasn't a fan. You can customize your fries so we got mixed sweet potato and regular fries. The sweet potato fries are the waffle version and were clearly better than the regular fries where were starchy. We got beef, lamb, and chicken for our protein. Beef and lamb gyros were thinly sliced while the chicken was cut into cubes. The lamb didn't have a smell or gamey taste while the chicken was dry. I also didn't really like their falafel mix. The rest of the toppings went well with the salad. Street Cart Diner Wrap ($14.75): This was a big wrap that they cut in 2 for you; I ate one of the halves and was full. For my protein, I got beef, lamb, and chicken and felt that this wrap had more meat than veggies while the reverse is true for the Doner Basket. Nothing really stood to me about the wrap; everything blended in to create a homogenous wrap. I think there was a lot more flavors in the Doner Basket. Single Doquito ($7.50): This actually comes with 2 rolls and was the best item out of everything we ate. This is way better and like an elevated version of the Mexican taquito. A Doquito is a fried lavish bread rolled in feta, onion, and aioli. The flavors were on point and it was fried to perfection. It didn't get soggy even with all the additional toppings smothered on top.

    Food was good for the price. L it was just bland for me and the wraps could use little more sauce. The ambience was good and service was fast.

    First time here. My son and I had lunch. Cooks and waiters were friendly, the place was clean, love that they have self serve water and doggie bag items available++ and the food was delicious! Had the Remix bowl with beef and lamb; their lemon dressing sauce was amazing! My son had the Berliner bowl They had three different sangrias available my son had the white sangria and he said it was good. Nice music, people, and space to eat outside if you like.

    I would definitely come back here. Wrap and fries were good. Churros were ok, I like my drink to

    The Berliner was my favorite. Didn’t like the Doner basket as much as the Berliner but it was still filling for the price. The Doner basket has everything in it and I thought it’d be more my speed but was just ok. Gives me lunch vibes or something quick vibes. Bartender was delightful, food came out fast and feels healthy. The beef-lamb meat is flavorful. Didn’t like the falafel. Strong and unique drinks. I’d recommend this place for a quick bite. $15 Flat rate parking garage near by. They should validate parking

    This Mediterranean restaurant is a hidden gem that has quickly become my go-to for exceptional dining experiences. The fusion of authentic flavors, impeccable service, and a cozy Mediterranean ambiance makes it stand out in a crowded culinary landscape. Don't miss the baklava for dessert – it's pure bliss!

    Prices are fair and the food is good! They have a couple of televisions for the local games for you to enjoy but not a total sports bar. It's more of a hanging out place. Beautiful outdoor seating, especially during these long summer days and nights! Check it out and see for yourself!

    I think I over estimated this place after hearing from two of my colleagues about how great their food was.. had the lamb/beef fries.. it was decent… but as any place that serves fried food… if you dont filter or change out the oil enough my stomach will tell me exactly how often you do. The flavor was good.. but not great. on my way home my stomach reminded me about how bad the fryer oil was.. Bartender was attentive, it was not busy and really had minimal social skills.

    Quirky place, super fun spot. Pictured is Berliner Wrap Combo (Chicken Shawarma wrap with Sweet Potato Waffle fries and Lemonade as drink of choice). Lovely meal altogether.

    Came here on a Saturday night. The vibes was like a bar. We ordered the Mediterranean fries (which are amazing). Servers and employees were nice. Would come again during the day.

    Modern take on Mediterranean food. I got a Berliner wrap, and I wish there was more meat. The wrap itself is substantial but it felt small eating it all. I was hoping for it to be bigger because whenever I make a wrap with other Mediterranean joints, my wrap is huge and overflowing with food for a fraction of a price that they sell here at Spitz. The cashier was nice and the atmosphere is intimate. A little too dark for my liking though. It almost looks closed from the outside. This is a good meet up joint though.

    Love the berliner wrap doner with beef and lamb drinks are good too the lavender mojito and cucumber margarita are really good

  • 2/5 Derrick De M. 8 months ago on Google
    Went in here for a quick drink and it wasn’t quick at all. The bar barely had anyone inside and the service took a while. The bartender wasn’t rude, just not attentive. A Tito’s and soda was $15 compared to their signature cocktail at $11. That doesn’t make any sense to me 🤷

  • 4/5 Stefany Lima D. 1 year ago on Google
    We probably come here once a week. The people working here must know us by face. They are friendly. Spitz has a cool vibe. Sometimes the music is a bit haphazard and loud although there may not be many people in the restaurant. The food is decent. I always order the salad. Sometimes it is made differently and tastes different. The fries are pretty good.

    Nice vibe.. Not really my taste food wise(more vegan oriented )Not a dig!! As I just stopped for a beer Figueroa Mountain Brewing!! Excellent choice. Wait staff was great!!!

  • 4/5 Rochile 1 year ago on Google
    Healthy and filling meal. Tried the Berliner bowl and Medi bowl. I liked the combination of meat options (beef+lamb and chicken).The sauces are good. Overall was a good combination of flavors.

  • 5/5 Carla H. 1 year ago on Google
    When sweet potato waffle fries are really good! They had lots of vegan options, cool low key, relaxing spot. Service was okay

    Food was delicious. Lots of fresh veggies and salad. Just a small heads up: you have to order the food at the cashier/bar if you decide to dine-in. The music was interesting, I didn't expect to hear spanish music! We got to sing along. It was a quiet little spot that doesn't seem to get much traffic around midday, but do enjoy yourselves if you go. Again, the food was great. I ordered a beef & lamb Gyro, someone else in our table ordered (I forgot the name, please excuse me) the one that has a bit of everything. It fills you up really well. Price range is actually not bad at all for the amount you actually get to indulge in. Even the salad bowls are filling!

    Got the Beef and Lamb Döner Street Cart. Does well reminding me of a certain location in Berlin known for its Döner. Second time coming and will be back.

    I love this place! Portions are generous, always fresh produce, amazing sauces. I went to dine in once and staff was very friendly and fast. Great craft beer too. Highly recommend trying them out.

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 2 years ago on Google
    Most under-rated fries in all of LA? These are the kinds of fries where when you bite the fry, the fry bites back. It was so crispy and hot, I finished all of it before I started eating my Street Cart Wrap.

  • 5/5 Jose S. 2 years ago on Google
    Doquitos!!!!!! Get the full order!!!! Foodgasm!!! The basket was good, the fries thing was bomb too... So much food that we had the left overs to go and was excellent reheated on air fryer!!! Great beer. Bomb!

  • 5/5 Nahu D. 3 years ago on Google
    First off the service was stellar . Our disheveled group took awhile to make a final order, but the servers were nice and provided suggestions until we were finished. Most importantly, the food... 🔥🔥💯You feel like you’re getting a steal for such good quality... portions are also sized perfectly IMO. Will be back soon!!

  • 5/5 Cali A. 2 years ago on Google
    We originally had in mind to go to another bar but they closed early then we visited another one and the people there were just plain rude so we left and by accident we came across this one. And it was honestly meant to be. The whole environment was so pleasant and the music selection was awesome, a little bit of every genre. The workers were really amazing too. Gregory was so sweet and so attentive to us. Before taking shots we had a drink called TNT and if you like strong bourbon with a hint of lavender, then this is the one for you. And there was also a cucumber margarita, super refreshing and also really great. Overall, the vibe was awesome and the people were great. 10/10 definitely will be visiting again!

  • 5/5 Isaac M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was savory. Cool staff and cool decorations all over the restaurant/bar. I had a nice lunch, it felt like open and roomie. Cool for date night or casual drink.

  • 3/5 Jasmin V. 2 years ago on Google
    It's alright. If you want affordable, mediocre mediterranean food, this is the place. This is NOT the place for falafels.

  • 5/5 cheyenne y. 2 years ago on Google
    I tried the Gyro Falafel. It was so yummy! I can't wait to try out more from here.

  • 5/5 Costanzas E. 1 year ago on Google
    I celebrated my birthday at here and we had a wonderful experience. Everything was sooo delicious. The presentation was also beautiful and you can even see how your dishes were prepared from a TV. Menu is changed every week and we will definitely come back again to try new food.

  • 3/5 Carl K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place flat out has the best hot dogs ever. The lobster roll that they put it on is so amazing. Buttery and very tasty. I would recommend this and will visit this place again. Its a bit pricy but the food is good. They also have dome great fries.

  • 4/5 DIOGO GABRIEL RIBEIRO G. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably the best lamb wrap I've ever had in my life! The Street Cart Fries were unbelievably good! I will definitely come back to this place!

  • 5/5 Dorsa I. 1 year ago on Google
    Had dinner at this location last night on June22 for the first time as I’m a Canadian and it’s my first time in LA. The food was great. I left my purse at the restaurant last night and the bartender kept it for me with everything intact. I couldn’t believe it. If I had left my purse at a restaurant in Toronto I wouldn’t be able to find it ever as no one would return it to me. I don’t know his name but if you read this thank you so much. Great staff and food

    Cool bar with very decent döners. A different take on kebabs compared to home however.

  • 5/5 ღαrι �. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food and drinks. Customer service is okay it would be better if they had more than one person taking orders but overall great experience.

  • 1/5 Jason W. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the worst food that I've tried in a while. Such a horrible way to ruin the classic Mediterranean gyro. The gyro is slaughtered with sauce that kills all underlying flavor and drips everywhere. Handfuls of over salted French fires are smashed next to the meat. The lamb/beef was not bad -just cold and tasteless next to everything else. Overall everything was extremely salty. I would be interested to see the salt percentages next to DRV. The donor bowl was just as bad. The chicken shawarma was tasteless. Way too much lettuce. Totally lacking flavor. The bartender was nice, helpful, and made a decent drink. I would love to throw on a star for her, but too depressed about the food.

  • 4/5 Cynthia J. 1 year ago on Google
    The bathrooms were clean. Thank God. 2 bathrooms. Unisex for men or women. I did very much appreciate they were clean. Ice cold water in a cooler and cups available. Looked like fast service and plenty of seating.we did not get a chance to order here unfortunately as we were just in the mood for sushi that day. Full bar. However I don't drink, but it's good to know for those who do. Great looking menu just not what were in the mood for that day. I very very much appreciated that we walked strai tin and used the restroom and didn't harassed or hassled about it being for customers only.

  • 5/5 Alexis V. 1 year ago on Google
    Little surprise in Little Tokyo I'm glad we happened upon! Love the atmosphere, the vibes, and the offerings!! Probably one of the few places that even the bathroom has me taking pictures because of how much it rocks lol Recommend stopping here for a bite or a drink. Good spots indoors and outdoors!

  • 5/5 Paulina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Specialty drinks were surprisingly AMAZING! My fav drink was Will to live! Doehner Salad was great, and Chris is very attentive!

Beautiful outdoor seating, especially during these long summer days and nights! Check it out and see for yourself!
