“ Title: Lost 16 lbs in a Month Thanks to Aras Shawarma – My Go-To Spot in Hollywood! I never thought I’d say this, but I lost 16 pounds in just one month eating at Aras Shawarma—twice a day! Their chicken pita shawarma is absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and surprisingly satisfying without being heavy. I paired it with a young coconut in the morning and evening, and the results blew me away. The quality of the chicken is top-notch, the flavor is consistently amazing, and the pita is always fresh. What I appreciate most is that it never feels greasy or overly processed—it’s clean, real food that fuels you. Not only did I feel better physically, but I actually looked forward to every meal. Aras Shawarma became my daily ritual, and honestly, it made healthy eating effortless and enjoyable. Huge shout-out to the team for keeping the quality high and the vibes great. If you're in Hollywood and want something that tastes incredible and can even help you drop weight if you're consistent—this is the spot. Highly recommend! ”
