The Best Food on Hollywood Blvd: Dubai Sauce

Last April, a friend suggested we visit Dubai Sauce for lunch. Even though it is right down the block from where we live, we had never been. Why? We don’t eat food on Hollywood Blvd, at least near the Walk of Fame. Why? Because the food is generally awful. You can read about that first experience HERE. I decided to bring Fit last Friday and see if they’ve made any improvements; they have.

We had some issues with faulty fountain drinks last time, but there were problems this go around. Their website, which didn’t work in the past, has had a great overhaul. The issues with desserts were nowhere to be found. What I appreciated the most was the consistency in the staff. Last time, they were extremely friendly. They were just as friendly, if not more, this time around. They were also extremely honest. I noticed the menu had expanded; they added burgers and even fusion pizza. Despite these innovations, when I asked for recommendations, they couldn’t help but glow in pride when saying how important it is to have the beef shawarma all by itself.

They knew the meat didn’t need any help. They were right.

The highlight of our last visit, the sauces, were as bold and vibrant as ever. We didn’t have issues with any of the menu items, but dipping the french fries in hummus and the sauces was a highlight, along with the beef shawarma. Also, the nutella crepe was everything you’d expect it to be. The falafel were different from last time, and I’d say there was an obvious improvement. 

This would actually be a great spot to eat family style, due to the large portion sizes. Be mindful of that when ordering. We were absolutely stuffed, but you can see how much food we ordered and ate in these photos. You’d be hard-pressed to find anything close to this in both quality and value, with friendly service on Hollywood Blvd, or at least the tourist part of it. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, you should definitely stop by Dubai Sauce. And as always, stay hungry and fit!
