Dropped in on a whim to check out what food options they had. Lavash is located in a small busy…read morecorner strip mall. We found a parking spot and walked into a large, brightly lit market. They prepare food fresh on the spot for you in the back corner. Note it is strictly to-go, no dine in options. The gentlemen in the store were incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to answer our questions about how they prepare their fresh meats on the grill. Many, many thanks for the grilling demo! The marinated meats available all displayed in the case and they pull straight from there, it's fresh and made to order. We decided on a plate of chicken breast and a plate of beef lule (ground beef kabob). After placing our order, we had some time to browse the groceries and imported goods in the store. You'll find a wide variety of Middle Eastern and European goods. We picked out some imported Italian and Russian snacks as well as some lavash bread to eat with hummus at home. At home, we feasted! The meats are marinated and seasoned to perfection, tender and flavorful. The guys even cooked up a few pieces of pork ribs for us to try. And let me say, we may have to get a plate of just those next time!! The plate comes with salad (tomato, cucumber, dill, onion), hummus, lavash and rice. Don't sleep on their garlic sauce, that stuff is potent and HEAVENLY. Portion sizes are large and shareable in my opinion and prices are reasonable for the amount, and more importantly, the quality, of food you're getting. I wish I had some pictures but we inhaled our food before thinking about. Next time!

This place is not only a small grocery store but they also prepare food to go. My review will…read moremainly be about the plate of food I ordered, but I will add that there are unique grocery items here to check out. They have an assortment of raw meats that you get to choose from and they cook it as you order it. That means you'll wait 15-20 minutes but the food here is worth the wait. I ordered the chicken breast plate with a side of garlic sauce. The chicken breast was juicy and tender. The garlic sauce on the side is a MUST. I also asked for some slices of lime/lemon on the side and they were generous enough to put some in my bag. The people working there were warm and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone in the area :) Im removing one star because my portion of chicken breast was a bit small compared to what I'm seeing in the photos from other yelpers.

My go to was the outside skirt stake, and I would usually buy all the packs that they had each time I went. On one occasion, they weighed the pack and then asked me if I wanted it trimmed and of course I wanted it trimmed. But after seeing the amount of fat that they took off and had already weighed and charged me for I wanted to see what that dollar amount was. So on my next visit, I opted not to get it trimmed and to do it myself at home. I weighed everything before, and after how much meat I received to how much fat was trimmed off, and it was staggering. I was getting charged $45 for something I couldn't use and didn't want. I proceeded to call a manager who said there was nothing he could do other than to reach out to corporate and that he would make it a priority and get back to me.

I have always been searching for new kabob places. I stumbled on Hovik's by chance and decided to…read moregive it a try. This carry out Armenian mom and pop establishment is both a meat market, deli and a destination for select carry out hot food. My choice was easy, the Beef Lula Kabob plate, to go. It contains two juicy, fresh and mildly flavored kabobs topped with raw onions, with sides of creamy humus, soft pita, a cucumber tomato salad and white rice. I enjoyed every item in my carry out box. On top of that, the owner, Hovik was friendly, kind, always smiling and most welcoming. The market also has a vast raw meat selection. Something to think about, if you are in the mood to do some cooking. As for me, this is a hidden gem, tucked away in a very small, quiet and unassuming strip mall at the junction of Chatsworth and White Oak. This wonderful store will definitely move to a high position on my list, when I am longing for soft and enticing kabobs.

I honestly can't believe I never knew about this little gem in Van Nuys off of White Oak and…read moreVanowen! So I wanted to have a few friends come over with their kids on Sunday so they could play and we could watch football. I decided to hop on the grill, grab some drinks and make it a fun little day for everyone. I checked to see if my normal butcher spot was open but to my surprise it was permanently shut down. So I decided to look for a place nearby and came across Danny's Fresh Meat produce right around the corner from me. So I hop in the car and head over! It's in the same parking lot as Salsa and Beer so finding a park is always tough especially on a weekend. That parking lot is a nightmare but once you get a park it's all good. I walked in and it's a very small shop with a cashier in the front, two small isles of produce and meat in the back. It seems like it's all locals because everyone was talking to, who I assume was Danny, in the back working with the guys cutting up the meat. When it came to my turn, I told him I'd never been here so he explained what they do, how they cut the meat, the type of meats they have and that he's been there for 30 years! He is an extremely nice and helpful Armenian guy who has completely won me over. There are a few local places I love supporting in my community and he'll definitely be one of them. The place was very clean and organized. There wasn't a lot of produce but just enough to get your essentials. As for the meat, I picked up a pound and a half of beef loin tenderloin steak at $25.99 a pound and two pounds of marinated chicken breast cut in half's. He told me the steak would melt in my mouth and he told no lies!! The steak was so tender and everyone was asking where I got it from. He made sure to let me know he can slice it up any which way I needed it to be. Overall, Danny's is the perfect spot to grab some local produce and meat if you want to support your local businesses. It always feels good helping out people in your community. Beware of the parking though. 5 out of 5 Afros OOOOO

I ordered flank steak, who doesn't like carne asada and they will marinade it for you. Its perfectly cut by hand to a thin cut of beef, the real Mexican carne asada, the kind I grew up with. I also ordered chuletas de pollo. Chicken cutlets. Its breast meat cut thinly. Who needs to pound the hell out of the meat when its perfectly thinly cut. This way when you place it on the grill it cooks evenly. They marinade it for me as well. Both meats were so good. My daughter is so picky when eating chicken and she loved this. Won't eat it from anywhere else anymore. They also have other cuts of meat that you don't usually see at your regular grocery stores like Cecina. Cecina I only get to enjoy when I go visit my grandmother in Mexico. They make tons of it in her city and ship it to different locations so I get my fair share of it when Im there but here in the states if you find it, it wont be the same. This meat is super thin, almost see thru, a bit salted, and oiled since its so lean. You basically heat it up on a griddle (for us it's a comal) for literally a min or you can leave it a bit longer and it'll crisp up and have a kind of beef jerky consistency. But oh soooo good. Oh you need to get a few avocados from here. They are huge and perfectly ripe. You wont be disappointed. Its worth checking out. Please support our local small businesses.

You know it's BBQ Season, as their smokers fill the air that makes your mouth just water! There's always a line (a good sign)... and the portions are fair (not great, but not skimpy either). There's always two things when it comes to the barbecue does it smell as good as it tastes does it taste as good as it smells? And in this situation, the taste is not as good as it smells. I've been on this planet for a long time in the last 40 something years have eaten more than my Fair share a barbecue so I can only give you my opinion of a 40 year journey eating all kinds of barbecue from coast to coast. When it comes to their accouchement of sauces, yes they got plenty of hot sauces but no they don't have that many "" sauces or a juice that you can get with what you order. Lastly, all kinds of folks I've met are proud of the meat. They make love to talk about it love to get into the mechanics behind it without of course, giving up their trade secrets you don't get that here. If anything, you can just get people that wanna move the line along and I get it if there's a long line you wanna move folks along, but you can still be friendly about it. During the days that I've been there before the line started it's the same attitude just get your plate. Get your grub and go little to no communication. So if they ever make their chicken, chickens and meats taste as good as it smells, they will definitely get another star out of me, and if their attitude was more friendly and less stuffy, we would finally get that five star review that they should deserve, but due to the things I've encountered more than once it's three stars.
