Step inside Kebbros and be amazed. This casual cool doner kebab option hits Hollywood next week, and comes with its very own meat-cutting robot.

There was a time, not that long ago really, when doner kebabs were seen as the next big thing in Los Angeles. More and more restaurants were turning to fast casual models, and the shawarma-style vertical spits became popular in pan-Middle Eastern takeaway shops from Westwood to Eagle Rock to West Third Street. And now there is Kebbros, with its automated meat shaver that rivals only Flippy and Marugame Udon’s noodle-maker for technological supremacy.

Outside of the wow factor, Kebbros keeps things easy with a modern reinterpretation of the former Demitasse space on Cahuenga. Expect lots of brick, glass, and communal seating inside, plus a patio out front. Kelly Architects (Clifton’s, Hinoki + The Bird) crafted the space, leaving room for 50 diners at a time.

Chef Dave Northrup (City Tavern) is in as overall executive chef for Kebbros, but the idea is simple: Offer organic proteins, served shawarma-style, as either wraps, salads, or bowls, plus side options like hummus or gravy fries. There will also be beer and wine available.

The new Kebbros officially opens on Wednesday, August 1. Look for hours from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
