"The portion isn't massive like other spots; the focus leans into quality ingredients. My favorite is the strawberry mascarpone flavor, an ideal combination of creamy and sweet balanced by refreshing tartness that feels fancier than its parts. The shaved ice itself is impossibly fluffy, hiding a mound of fresh, diced strawberries underneath that you can further amplify with the accompanying strawberry sauce."
"I've been a longtime fan of Skaf's in Glendale, a family-owned Lebanese spot with kofta, kebab, and more. Now, the owner's sons have gone out on their own to open Skaf's on York at the border of Highland Park and Eagle Rock. The restaurant retains plenty of the favorites from its progenitor, including juicy shaved shawarma and lamb chops, while adding its own touches, like a spiced burger with garlic and tahini sauce. Take advantage of a nice day"
Los Angeles is experiencing a heatwave and shaved ice offers an effective way to cool off. Anko prioritizes quality ingredients and serves impossibly fluffy shaved ice with options like strawberry mascarpone, mango with red beans and mochi, and hojicha with chestnut cream. Fresh diced strawberries can be combined with strawberry sauce, and a yuzu lemonade pairs well. Skaf's began as a family-owned Glendale Lebanese spot and has expanded to York at the Highland Park–Eagle Rock border. The menu maintains favorites such as shaved shawarma, lamb chops, kofta, and kebab, and adds new items like a spiced garlic-and-tahini burger.
