Adana, what happened to y'all?!? My mom came by last night to pick up food for our family and the owner gave her so much attitude?!! For what?! Because y'all mixed up our order with someone else's? To top it off, the salmon was very dry, and the chicken kebab was dry as well. 2-stars for the salads and hummus, yogurt, and red bell pepper dips. Adana used be a staple in our household, but sadly am not coming back for a while. read more

Jonathan Gold isn't wrong -This place is amazing. Adana has the best mediterranean kababs in Los Angeles! The owner has pride in his food, store and he is always so helpful with recommendations. (Although everything is great, so you can't really go wrong!) We always order the beef lule (koobideh) and chicken thigh kababs - wonderfully marinated, super moist and flavorful. The lamb chops and beef shish are also a solid choices. Our favorite appetizers are the eggplant dish (kashk e bademjan - fried eggplant w/ yogurt + mint), hummus and tabouli. These sides accompany the grilled meats perfectly. They are open for pick up and delivery! read more

Best kabob in town a fusion of Arminian and Persian spices and magic making every bite a bite to remember

I had a meeting not too far away in Atwater Village, and given the love this place gets from Jonathan Gold and lots of fellow Yelpers, I thought it was finally time to try it. I got there at perhaps 5:15 pm on a Monday (what else can you do when you have a 7 pm meeting?!), which meant I had the place all to myself. The restaurant is pleasant, almost stately without feeling too formal, and there was soothing music playing in the background. Of course, I'd heard about the kabobs, and so I felt duty-bound to order them. First, the server, who started out fairly formal and eventually warmed up to the point where we had a nice chat, brought me a little basket with some pita and some crisped, garlicky pita chip type snacks. Wow, those were good. The main dish took a while to arrive, but obviously, this food is cooked to order--and as became apparent once I started eating it--with a lot of love. My first bite into a kabob was a foodgasm, and it pretty much stayed that way the whole time. I'd ordered a combination of chicken, beef and koobideh (ground beef). All three were superbly flavorful, juicy and uniformly (with the exception of maybe one or two pieces of beef) tender. Some of the best kabobs I've had anywhere. My meal came with my choice of two sides--I opted for hummus and the Persian salad--and a very ample portion of rice. All of these were also excellent. The Persian salad was very refreshing, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the hummus was very good (though nobody's hummus is as good as Zahav's in Philadelphia). I should also add that a small plate of sumac onions came on the side. I promptly dumped it over top of the rice, and taken together with rice and kabob, it added even more depth of flavor to an already delicious meal. The meal set me back in the low 20s after tip and tax, which felt very fair for the superb food quality and generous portions. My foodie buddy wants to try it, and I'm more than willing to come back with him. Adana is definitely a winner. read more

Adana Restaurant - Combo of beef, chicken and ground beef, with Persian salad, hummus, rice and sumac onions. Delicious. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendale, California

This is my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant of all time. While I love Carousel and Marouch I still find Adana's food to be the lightest and most enjoyable Armenian/Persian food in Los Angeles (well, technically Glendale). Adana is super family friendly and a great spot to eat with a toddler at 5 or 6 pm; things were pretty quiet the last few times we've gone in early. They have high chairs for families which we really appreciated! The grape leaves are like nowhere else- they're just right, not too intense but still full of flavor. Love their hummus and eggplant dips with pita and the cucumber salad is also top notch. My daughter devoured the crispy chips with hummus (SO good). The star of the show for us is the cherry rice and chicken kebab- WOW. This dish just knocks it out of the park.. I am obsessed. Prices are more than fair for this excellent food- a big shout out to an old Jonathan Gold review that led us here years ago. You're the best, Adana! Free easy parking lot (which we always forget about somehow). read more

The food here is incredible. A friend told me that the chef is very highly regarded-I'm not sure if it's Michelin star, but he should be! All the rices are out of this world. I highly recommend this place. The only minor caveat is that the actual dining space is a little strange and has no ambience. However, we all had a great time with a larger party of six and the whole place to ourselves! read more

Honestly my favorite Mediterranean restaurant I've EVER been to. Seriously. We drove down from SF just to eat here. Everything is so good.

I'm having the left over chicken kabob from last nights dinner at Adana. I arrived at 7:00 knowing they close at 8, and reminded by the waitress while I waited for a friend. We ordered by 7:15 and again reminded they close at 8. Food was good, but not anything that can't be had at any of the popular kabob places in Glendale. The sour cherry rice, was literally rice with canned sour cherries on it. Waitress refused to substitute Greek salad for Persian salad with twice "no" She then put down the check 10 minutes into our meal by 7:45. This really put me off. I was not going to linger all night, no reason to there, but given the past COVID affect, restaurants would be happy for customers instead of giving us the bums rush out. read more

WOWed by this place. If you blink, you might not see this place as it's a little obscure and feels much more like a mini banquet hall. But the food is out of control. Fresh, and affordable for what you're getting! The chicken breast kabob was extremely juicy, if I could could chicken breast like this it would be so much easier to give up chicken thighs! And their shirazi salad isn't just cucumbers and tomatoes, but other spices like basil and it really adds to the taste. Officially my favorite kabob place around this block. read more

Adana Restaurant is a warm and friendly restaurant that serves the BEST Armenian food that I have ever had. Were it not for Jonathan Gold's high praise and Adana's inclusion on nearly every "best kabob" list in Los Angeles as well as an event in the area, I never would have come here. But, I can say that it is worth the trip. The location on busy San Fernando Road, just south of Alameda, is easy to miss. This is particularly so if you are headed north bound, because the parking is on the south side of the building. Fortunately, we were prepared and slipped into the lot. We were coming here on our way to an event, but the traffic was miserable. No problem! We called and ordered our food 30 minutes in advance, so it was ready and waiting (and we could eat before sitting through a 90 minute recital). Tres bien! Chef Edward took our order over the phone and let us know that it would be 5 minutes when we got there (we were there 8 minutes before we told him we would be). I was so impressed and beyond grateful that they were so hospitable. The dining room is not large and is simple decorated with brown tablecloth clad tables and heavy high backed chairs. The food is easily shared or can be individually ordered, and everything is delicious. When you are seated, you will receive a basket of pita. I had none of the standard halves that the LOs were devouring, but the "chips" were paper thin crisps that were super fresh, light and crunchy. The best that I have ever had. For dinner, we had: Falafel Plate ($13): four huge hot and crisp falafel balls were topped with a bit of hummus and served with "Persian Salad" and hummus as well as saffron rice. The dense and crispy falafel balls were perfectly seasoned and very filling. The light and refreshing salad of chopped Persian cucumbers, tomatoes and onions with sumac and mint in a light vinaigrette was sweet and tangy. The uber fresh hummus was smooth and perfectly seasoned. It was delicious. Fattoush Salad ($11): this is a salad that I order often, and this slightly different rendition totally impressed me. It was like a Persian Salad beefed up with radishes, a ton of herbs, like purslane and mint, feta, and a little of the crispiest paper thin pita. I have never seen purslane in this salad before, and I loved it. Also, the dressing was very light and slightly tangy, so the veggies were the star. Ghormeh Sabzi ($14): this traditional stew was, like the falafel, as expected but still very good. The beef and kidney bean stew with a based of minced greens was warm and comforting. The stew was perfectly seasoned, and the meat was lean but still fall apart tender. It had a nice tangy note from the pickled lime that was fall apart tender. It was served with tah-dig, also known as crispy rice, as well as some more rice and your selection of two sides. We had Persian salad and pickles. The pickles were the only thing that I probably would not order again, because I prefer red Persian pickles to Armenian pickles. These were cucumbers, carrots, celery and cabbage that were tasty, but I would rather have the amazing hummus. The tah-dig could have been a smidge darker, but he was rushing to plate on our early arrival, which I appreciate. Koobideh Kabob ($15): a HUGE plate with two kebobs made from ground beef that is moist, tender and perfectly seasoned. Served with saffron rice and ordered with yogurt dip and barbequed tomato, DD loved every bite. Shirin Polo ($15): I never saw the orange peel, almond sweet and sour sauce, but this was not my plate and does not change the fact that it was served with the best chicken kabob that I have had in my life. I have lots of Persian friends and I love Mediterranean food, so I have had a lot of this in friends' homes and out. This was AMAZING. The tender and moist chicken had a crispy exterior from grilling but not over open fire. Chef Edward apparently has a specially designed grill. I don't know how he does it, but it is fantastic. The service here is fantastic - warm, inviting and accommodating. It's a great place to bring family. The dining room is simple and attractive. It's a great place to bring a group. The food is delicious - there is a little room for improvement to reach "perfection" but this is the best that I have had in any restaurant. 4.5 stars. read more

Amazing food and service. Some of the best Armenian food i've had and I'm Armenian. Definitely worth the drive over the hill.

I have probably driven by this place a million times. Very much a hole in the wall. Street parking and parking in the back I think. I finally went when it was recommended to me by a friend. Being the Armenian food lover that I am, I had to try it. I ordered for take out for Mother's Day. I would recommend placing your order a day ahead. I ordered beef kebab, chicken kebab, pork chops, potato wedges, beet/pomegranate salad, hummus, yogurt & cucumber dip, eggplant dip, and I forget what else. Everything was amazing!!!! Pork chops, potato wedges, and beet/pomegranate salad were to DIE FOR. All the guests loved it all. Even the guests that are not usually open to ethnic food were caught getting seconds. Be warned, the owner does come off a little abrasive over the phone.. Probably because they are mentioned in the LA Times Best Restaurants..lol. However, when I picked up my food I think it was a completely different person (joking, was the same guy). He threw in a lot of extra stuff I did not order because it was Mother's Day. So sweet!! Will 100% be ordering from here for future events. read more

Adana made J Gold's top 100 and being the J Gold slut that I am, I had to give it a try! #Disappointed Don't get me wrong, it was good. It was probably on par with a lot of the Persian places on Westwood Blvd. It just wasn't top 100 good. Maybe it's the best Persian in the valley, but it's not the best Persian in LA. Service was abysmal too. It took forever to get water or get the staff to take our order. Not sure what's so special here and I am in no hurry to return. read more

Most wonderful restaurant! We ware warmly welcome by three of the stuff members they show interest in where we were from (our root country ) Marian said that she was trying to learn Spanish and talked about her country Persia or Iran now. The service was excellent . Attentive knowledgeable and described ingredients and flavors with detail , The food was delicious . Done with perfection and care and I believe that this is only obtained when you care and love what you do. The restaurant is clean and comfortable easy to find plenty of parking. I'm looking forward to return. Thank you we had one of the best dinners that I can remember. read more

Ok picture this, you walk into a empty restaurant with over the top furniture and a friendly but slightly nervous waiter who smirks at you while you walk in. You look around for any familiar faces but find nothing but empty chairs, You realize that you are at a local mob hangout where the unwritten rule is to respect all because you don't know who you may rub the wrong way....ok ok ok..I am getting carried away. I felt like doing some creative writing today.. The truth of the matter is that the place is always so strangely secluded and especially during lunch hours. This last time was a bit more crowded than usual which made me scratch my head a bit. The lack of foot traffic doesn't take away from how great this place is. This place sits in the heavily Armenian populated city of Glendale. I have had some really great Armenian meals in Glendale, however this is one of my top favorite eateries. I was introduced to this place when our secretary began ordering it for our work events and meetings that required feeding hungry employees. The food hits the spot and it is always so tasty and so filling. One of my co workers a few months ago asked me to visit the Adana's restaurant. It is now one of my "go to's" for lunch when I want a quick getaway with some scrumptious food. I usually get a salad with chicken and avocado. The salads are quite filling and always hit the spot. They are always so fresh and made to order. Their meats are also quite filling and make you fell rather content. The service is always on point and prices are reasonable. What a great combo. If you have a party that you need catered or you just need to get away for a quick lunch with an ideal satisfying outcome, Come to Adana's. Be aware parking is tight and limited. read more

Persian salad was FANTASTIC. Super fresh and great flavor. Owner was very hospitable and packed plenty of extras. Loved the chicken koobideh too. read more

Adana restaurant serves delicious Middle-Eastern food with classic staples like hummus and Goobideh to refined favorites like muttabul, fattoush salad, and spicy olive salad. The food is fresh, flavorful, and tastes homemade that makes you want to return time and time again. Keep in mind the portions are HUGE, so you might consider sharing the plates (order a few combos in the middle) because there is at least 2 cups of cooked basmati rice in addition to the two sides and the meat. The chicken and beef Goobideh should definitely be eaten with the onion/parsley mix that arrives at the table as it enhances the flavor greatly. The chicken kebab (not breast) was tender and juicy and my personal favorite of the grilled meats. Adana restaurant serves you like royalty and you feel like you've been dining like the sultans of the past. read more

"Adana was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."-Forrest Dump God DAMN!!! Gladly i convinced my friend to have Mediterranean Food instead of going to Q-cina. And of course Yelp came in handy and led us to this place. The trip towards this place isn't great we just had some issues but once we got here i was surprised cause i saw 3 people inside the restaurant speaking a different language (i assume Armenian) and the old guy was just looking at us. Then he told us we can sit but we waited a little bit longer for him to give us the menu cause he was still chatting with the other guy. After around 5 minutes he walk towards me and asked me what do i need so i asked for water (actually i asked for 2) but he only gave me one so my friend have to ask another one after coming from the restroom. For appetizer i ordered the Armenian Eggplant Dip and we totally loved it cause it has a spicy kick in it and the pita bread was warm and yummy. For our entree we ordered Beef Koobideh with Cucumber Yogurt and Hummus, Combination(beef, chicken and Looleh) hummus and roasted tomato. So what did we get? TADAAAAHHHH!!!! Chicken Koobideh with Roasted Tomato and Hummus Lamb Koobideh with Cucumber Yogurt and Roasted Tomato We we're like F*CK!?!?!?! Good thing we were starving and didn't really care. But no matter what The FOOD WAS GREAT!!! yes you read it right it was GREAT!!!! We decided to share the Koobideh so we get to try both and both were great!!! I love their hummus too and the cucumber yogurt. I'll be coming back if i am in this area. The owner is super friendly you just have to be patient with him. I don't know how it is for the busy hours and how many staffs do they have.

Adana Restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - Glendale, California

Shrug. Maybe we went on a bad night. My girlfriend and I were the ONLY ones eating there from 6:30-8 on a Friday night. The kitchen was loud with chatter and the back door open, so the ambiance was loud and freezing. The kabobs were good, but the apps were inconsistent and cold. For what it was, the price was too high. How did this place get Bib Gourmand? Did I go to the wrong restaurant? read more

After much hoopla, I made a point to try this place. What a disappointment. I don't think I am a tough critic, but honestly a bit confused of how this place received all these stars so far... I would give the service a 3 star, the willingness to serve a 3.5 star. But that's about it. There are many many good eateries in LA; many excellent middle eastern, Persian, and Armenian eateries. Adana doesn't make the cut. I tried the usual suspects of the popular appetizers/mezzes; here is my take - Mutabal, it's a no-no; the tabbouleh salad not a success either; The Hummus is not bad. The Keshkeh Bademjan is very different than the usual, I would rather they called it something else, so one doesn't go with the expectation of a certain taste. Although the plates and dishes looked nice, the overall ambiance lacks the quaint feel that small mom/pop restaurants present. The servers were cheerless, actually more like gloomy; except our waiter who possibly was the owner, he was energetic; though was rushed and rushing. But he was really nice. I would recommend the business to offer less variety on their menu, and stick to what they are good at, Kabobs. Yes the chicken Kabob was good. The place is definitely "a Meh for me." Since the restaurant is not in coveted neighborhood, and doesn't have a view or a garden, I was hoping the food would entice me. And it didn't. read more

Chicken fatoush salad is best in the valley. The flavor and ingredients are always fresh and the owner is a nice man.

Had to try this restaurant since it was on LA Times' 101 list. Thought it was a bit on the pricey side, but it was worth it for the quality. We ordered Hummus ($7) and Dolmeh ($7) for appetizers, Khoresh Ghormeh Sabzi ($17), Zereshk Polo ($18), Barg Kabab ($23), Pan Fried Trout ($23). Everything was cooked perfectly, the chicken kebab was nicely seasoned and tender. It was served with delicious barberry saffron rice. The filet mignon kabab was super tender, the stew and the crispy rice that it was served with were amazing, the trout was nicely cooked, and the Persian salad was very fresh with lots of fresh herbs and seasonings. No complaints, but only compliments to the chef for care and love that went into preparing our food. Will be back for more delicious food. read more

Oh man, what can I tell you about this place that doesn't sound cliched? The filet mignon lunch special is to die for ;) It's only $6.25 and unbelievable - cooked perfectly, moist and seasoned oh so right. Delivery is (sometimes) slow but they will usually let you know if it's going to take a while. This is one of those restaurants that I've suggested to most everyone I work with & not 1 single person has complained, seriously they've all raved about it! So go get yer take out/delivery from Adana! PS. I've never eaten at the restaurant, it's only been delivery so my review is from that aspect only.....fyi. read more

Though it has the looks of a banquet rental, this restaurant packs a mean punch! Came here on a referral and after I read the Yelp reviews. Being 4.5 stars out of some 50 reviews, it really lived up to its rating. I'm giving them a 5 star because I'm a big kabob fan. Kabobs preferences is like sushi and pizza. One person praises a restaurant that another doesn't. Their kabobs are amazing. For $7.99, I got beef kabobs, rice, Shirazi salad, and hummus. Try beating that! There is no hostess station, no music, no wait station, or anything that makes it look like a traditional restaurant but it does kick butt. The service is great but don't expect to walk in and be greeted. Come in and sit down and some one will come out to meet you from the back. It's an old world feel with a modern & classy design. I didn't ask but from the looks of it, it would be a great little banquet rental for a small, private venue. read more

This place makes any other Mediterranean places I've tried seem weak and in need of cooking lessons. My fiancé eats here at least once a week when he's working in Burbank. I always hear him talking about how good this place is but since I'm never in Burbank, I've never been able to try it. Until today. OH. MY. GOODNESS. This may sound dramatic but there are not enough words in the English language to describe how much I enjoyed this meal. Everything was cooked to perfection & very flavorful. He was talking to us after the meal (he was very friendly) and he uses the best ingredients he can get his hands on. Saffron, yes, as expensive as saffron is, his uses it in his dishes. His chicken is all natural, organic, etc. and the pita chips that he makes are amazing. I had the chicken breast kabob, salad, hummus, pita chips, and rice. They have a lot of different combinations of rice. He suggested the cherry rice and said if I didn't like it, he would bring me regular. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. It was amazing! I'm so disappointed that this place is not closer to me! LOL Or maybe it's a good thing so I don't eat this too often and blow up like a balloon! LOL The resturant is clean, well decorated, & comfortable. The bathrooms were also very clean. Needless to say, I will see what I can do about getting up to Burbank more often.

We went in and settled at one of the 2 empty tables (there are only 5 total tables to dine in). We went to the bathroom and upon returning we were brought menus. Once we checked the menu, we changed our minds and left the restaurant. Upon returning to our car, I started hearing someone talking with very loud noise behind.

Really amazing, fresh food! We went here last minute while driving around searching for a restaurant via Yelp. Our clock was ticking, kids home with the sitter and our original dinner plans were foiled. After all the reviews on Yelp decided to try Adana's. Glad we did. When we first walked in, it felt like you were walking into someone's house. There were two families dining, but no one was out front to greet you. The decor is bare but very grand with high ceilings. We stood there for a minute trying to decide if we should seat ourselves, and then a young man walked out carrying dishes to someone's table. We then sat down and a man (would later find out he's Chef-owner Edward Khechemyan) brought us menus and asked what we wanted to drink. They don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own bottle of wine or beer, if you want. (We didn't know this). I ordered a salad, which the owner recommended (it's their specialty and can't remember what it's called). My husband ordered the eggplant appetizer. Both were amazing. For our entrees, we ordered the Salmon kabobs and vegetarian plate. Both amazing. The only thing not amazing was the pita bread. I like mine really soft and fluffily, and this was not the best, but overlooking that due to the freshness of the food, how amazing it tasted, and how fantastic the chef/owner is. He really wants you to have an amazing meal and is so hospitable. We ordered the honey cake for dessert, and that was equally amazing! We are definitely going back. read more

I had really high hopes after reading the amazing reviews. However my experience was just about ok! Nothing spectacular or mind blowing. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and by the time we left, just 2 more people came in. We ordered the falafel plate and beef koobideh. The falafel were a bit weird, very small and different texture than what I was expecting but they were freshly cooked and not too bad. The beef koobideh was really cooked well, but did not have much flavor, was a bit disappointing. I also ordered the yogurt with shallots dip and that was pretty good. Overall, it was a cheap lunch place but the food is not at all exciting. I will probably skip this when I'm in Glendale next. read more
