Father Nature Lavash Wraps

The place is not open! They have temporarily closed effective May 30^th!!! I can’t give it more than one star for now, but hope to try them out when they re-​open.

I’ve been coming here for years! I’ve never been disappointed. My favorite is the schwarma salad with lots and lots of pickled vegetables! Those pickled vegetables are perfect compliments to the wraps and salads. I apologize for not having pictures, but I always scarf down my meal before getting a chance to snap a picture. I simply cannot resist!
I would recommend getting the food to go because there aren’t much seating in the restaurant. And I always feel as though the kitchen heats up the whole place which doesn’t feel comfortable.
That won’t stop me from coming, nonetheless!
The restaurant is located BEHIND 21 choices and next to forever 21. It’s a small restaurant so keep your eye out!

The Caesar wrap here is quite good but I want to try their specialty wraps. The owner was very friendly and made sure to inform us that everything is made on site and is fresh. That was nice to know. It tasted like it too. Theres a cool upstairs area to sit and it’s really close to froyo for dessert! Definitely going back here again.

The food here is so clean and very fresh! The service is also very pleasant. I love to order the eggplant wrap and add chicken.

First time here. I tried their chicken shawerma w/​falafel. It was very tasty. Their falafel is really good. It’s crust was crunch and soft compared to other places I’ve been too. I will definately be back to try other dishes.

«Baba Booey» It just seemed appropriate to shout out, not sure why!
The Double Pleasure and Beef Steak Wrap have been the go-​to-​wraps, they never disappoint and always consistent. Flavors and taste are on point and worth the wait during lunch. The garlic sauce is the x-​factor which is the essence of these wraps. Prices are reasonable, the ladies are friendly and work terrifically fast. Big Fan!

Food is great and has be consistent for 15 years that i have been coming
Great vegetarian options also

Lule Wrap
— Beef lule, onions, cilantro, sauce
— the sauce is a must. A little spicy
— some may think the wrap is a little small, but it filled me up
Their sign says they open at 10 am, but Unilocal says 10:30am

This place is awesome! The food is absolutely amazing and very flavorful! My favorite dish at the moment is the eggplant! It’s completely vegetarian but so amazing! Definitely going to come here more often! On top of that the service is so amazing and the people are so nice!!! Great place!

The #8 double pleasure is amazing! Falafel and chicken shawarma in a very generous sized wrap is what dreams are made of… for me at least. It is a small hole in the wall shop behind 21 Choices and it is run by nice ladies. I will definitely be going back to try everything else on the menu.

Currently obsessed. Have literally been here 4 times in 7 days.
I’ve been coming here for years but sometimes the parking situation deters me.
Favorites include:
Beef steak wrap
Chicken shawarma salad
Falafels (soooo good!)
Pickled vegetables
Place gets busy during lunch time but never too long of a line.
The only downside is parking which is generally only found in the structure on Delacey.

These women rock the wraps!
You must try Their Black Bean Humus and Chicken Shawarma wrap with spicy sauce and pickles. YUMMMMMMM
The best food in a very corporate area of Old Town.
Fresh, Healthy and Delicious. A side note, they have been around forever and will outlast any of the current food establishments.

I am so happy that pasadena has this little tiny place at the heart of the town. I had heard about this place but never really tried it until one of my coworkers suggested we go there for lunch. I got the Fatoush salad with grilled chicken. It was absolutely delicious. The workers are so kind and provide great customer service. There is sitting around downstairs and upstairs. I’ll be going here often to try different things off the menu.

This place has been in Pasadena for as long as I can remember. I recently tried their French connection press and wow was it delicious! It’s basically a hot veggie lavash wrap and their spicy sauce makes it perfection!
They are quick and continue my and always catering to their busy crowds.

Often overlooked, Father Nature Lavash Wraps is right between 21 Choices & Forever 21. I would have never noticed this place if a fellow Unilocal Elite didn’t mention it to me during one of the events we attended. Unilocal Networking!
Stopped by for an early dinner around 5pm on a Wednesday. The restaurant was empty at the time and I only noticed one cook (who was also the cashier). Friendly lady. We ordered and paid and picked up our food at the counter when it was ready. Water, utensils, chili peppers are located off to the left of the counter.
BBQ Chicken Wrap ($ 7.75): If you’re not a big eater, half is more than enough. The lavash was panini pressed into a perfect crispy consistency! Inside the wrap contained chicken, tomatoes, rice and bbq sauce. Although I love BBQ, there was an overwhelming amount of sauce which made it too sweet =| I’d ask for half the amount of sauce.
Chicken Shawarma Salad ($ 8.75): YES! The chicken shawarma is one of the best I’ve tried at any Mediterranean restaurant. Seriously, try it! Next time, I’d try it in the wrap.
Free 90 minute parking on DeLacey & Colorado.

So, I never contacted the owners back after leaving my last review. They did reach out via Unilocal though and I appreciate the attempt.
I went in today incognito because I really wanted a taste of their spicy sauce and pickles and lavash wrap and everything. Wow… Night and day! These ladies were nice and friendly, they engaged their customers, and they smiled! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was extremely happy and next time I won’t think twice before going over. extremely happy to see the change!
Needless to say the food was on point, 5 stars all around!

I may actually be the worst local.
Here I am, running to the near and far corners of Los Angeles in search of jewels and gems when there’s one planted solid in my backyard.
Located in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, this unassuming little shop is located in that crevice on Delacey between Forever 21 and 21 Choices. Blink once and you’ll miss it. Trust me – I speak from 22 years of experience. But let me just tell you – this little hole in the wall is worth keep your eyes out and open because the cooking is honest, and the food? Simple and simply delicious.
Having just had a light meal, my sister and I split a chicken combo plate, which consisted of a beyond-​generous portion of grilled chicken, bulgar pilaf, black bean hummus, traditional hummus, tabouli, and a simple salad of romaine lettuce. Can I just reiterate that we had just had a light meal? Although we were nothing close to ravenous to begin with, anyone observing from afar could and would have probably assumed that we had not eaten for days the way we tore at that plate. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy and beautifully charred and smoky from the grill. Paired with the fresh tabouli and the creamy hummuses. absolute fire fifty times over. Like other reviewers have noted, the black bean hummus? On point.
It was one of those silent meals where no one really talks because the food is so good – where time spent talking is time that could be much better utilized munching… and you know what they say about silence being golden and all. Speaking of what they say… what they don’t say often enough? This modest and humble little joint with more than modest portions and flavors is almost as good as gold.
Go.

Simple yet delicious!
I prefer ordering To Go just because the place can get a bit claustrophobic during Lunch Rush and their AC is a bit weak so it gets uncomfortable. BUT the food is bomb-​diggity. Not only are most of the dishes on the healthier side but you can taste the quality. I always have to peel my hand off the 2^nd half of my wrap or sandwich to avoid being over full!
Eggplant Sandwich — 5 Stars
The panini pressed baguette is super crispy, flat and absolutely delicious. It’s not that overly bread-​y bread which adds the perfect texture with the roasted eggplant, tomato and veggies. Flavors delightful and not bland at all. Top it off with their homemade spicy Tahini sauce and you’ll be crying out for more!
Falafel Wrap — 5 Stars
OMG the falafel was super crispy and freshly fried. All the ingredients in this wrap were absolutely delightful. This is definitely my go-​to at Father’s Nature! Always ask for the spricy Tahini to drizzle on top (unless you don’t like spicy, they have a regular Tahini!)
Everyone who works here is very nice!

«Alright. Hey. Alright. Good job, guys. Let’s just not come in tomorrow. Let’s just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma? There’s a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don’t know what it is, but I wanna try it.» — Tony Stark/​Iron Man in The Avengers.
That’s a scene I’m always reminded of when I come here. This place is right next to my work, and I come here quite often… for good reason. It’s super tasty. It’s about wraps and shawarma. It’s Mediterranean food… I love their Chicken Shawarma wrap. Big and flavorful, I often feel like I’m tasting something new all over again.
Interior is small, and it is recommended that you have your meal to go. The preparation takes a bit of time, so be prepared to wait. Very flavorful, though.

Popped in here today for a quick lunch in between shopping stops, and was very pleased! It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the falafel wrap was PERFECT — hot, crispy, fresh, filling — I could eat it every day for lunch!
My only complaint is that the side salad was unimpressive. It was really just lettuce with a sprinkling of parsley and tomatoes — definitely not worth upgrading to a combo. Maybe next time I’ll get the fries instead.
Will definitely be returning, though!
