Sunnin Lebanese Cafe
A beloved Westwood institution serving up some of the city's finest shawarma and authentic Lebanese fare.

Tucked away on Westwood Boulevard, Sunnin Lebanese Cafe has earned its reputation as a neighborhood gem for anyone craving authentic Lebanese flavors. This no-frills, order-at-the-counter spot delivers exactly what you want: fresh, flavorful food in a welcoming atmosphere. The spacious interior makes it easy to gather with friends or colleagues, while the efficient service means you won’t be waiting long for your meal.
The shawarma here is nothing short of legendary in Westwood circles. Tender, perfectly seasoned meat wrapped in warm pita with all the traditional accompaniments—it’s the kind of dish that keeps regulars coming back week after week. But don’t overlook the supporting cast. The fried cauliflower arrives golden and crispy, a simple preparation that lets the vegetable’s natural sweetness shine through. The falafel delivers that ideal contrast of crunchy exterior and herb-flecked interior that separates great falafel from the merely good.
Sunnin is the kind of place that fits seamlessly into your routine. It’s perfect for a quick lunch when you’re short on time, a casual dinner when you don’t feel like cooking, or a satisfying meal that won’t empty your wallet. The vegetarian options are robust enough to please even dedicated plant-based eaters, making it an easy choice when you’re dining with a mixed group.
For anyone exploring Westwood’s dining scene or looking for a reliable Lebanese spot in LA, Sunnin earns its status as a classic establishment. The combination of quality ingredients, generous portions, and reasonable prices creates real value—something that never goes out of style.
