Beef Box German Shawarma to open new fast-casual spot in North Hollywood

The German-style shawarma concept will occupy the former Dog Haus site at 4929 N. Lankershim Boulevard, adding a second Southern California location.

Beef Box German Shawarma, a fast-casual restaurant that blends German-style shawarma with street-food flair, announced plans to open a second Southern California location in North Hollywood. The new spot will take over the former home of Dog Haus at 4929 N. Lankershim Boulevard, according to signage reported by WhatsNewSFV and confirmed by the company’s website. The company has not announced an exact opening date for the North Hollywood venue.

The concept already operates at 1023 E. Colorado Street in Glendale, where it serves customers daily from 11 a.m. to midnight. The Glendale location offers dine-in, curbside pickup and DoorDash delivery, and the North Hollywood site will provide the same three service options. Menu items are prepared daily with local ingredients, and the selection may shift with seasonal availability.

Beef Box German Shawarma’s menu centers on slow-cooked meats served on house-made bread. Patrons can choose chicken, pork or beef shawarma, and the restaurant also offers a Beef Box Signature Bowl that layers grilled meat over rice, cabbage, tomato and a creamy slaw. Additional items include a Beef Box Shawarma Meat Pizza, French fries and a trio of sauces described as mild, spicy and jalapeño. Drink choices range from Tan, Akroshka and Jermuk to Perrier, soft drinks, tomato juice, water and Red Bull.

All menu components are assembled fresh each day, and the company emphasizes the use of locally sourced ingredients. Customers at both Glendale and the upcoming North Hollywood location can dine in, order for pickup directly from the restaurant, or request delivery through DoorDash, as noted on the company’s website.

The North Hollywood address sits on Lankershim Boulevard, a corridor lined with residential units, retail storefronts and entertainment venues. By situating the new restaurant amid this mixed-use environment, Beef Box aims to capture foot traffic from nearby neighborhoods while expanding its presence in the San Fernando Valley. The move follows the brand’s initial launch in Glendale and represents its second Southern California outlet.

While the exact opening schedule and operating hours for the Lankershim location remain unannounced, the company’s signage indicates that the space previously housed Dog Haus. The addition of Beef Box German Shawarma will diversify the culinary options available on Lankershim Boulevard and contribute to the growing fast-casual scene in North Hollywood.

Beef Box German Shawarma’s arrival adds a novel German-inspired street food concept to North Hollywood’s already vibrant food corridor. The blend of shawarma, house-made breads and a signature bowl offers a fresh alternative to the area’s typical Mexican and Asian fast-casual spots, and the brand’s commitment to local sourcing aligns with the city’s growing emphasis on sustainable dining.
