    Lamb chops
    Elbert T.

    Adana was a regular for us whenever we had a craving for Mediterranean food. We were disappointed when it closed for a couple years, seemingly to remodel. We went there for their reopening tonight and were pleasantly surprised! The food came out quickly, well seasoned and tastefully presented. My4 lamb chops came with the bone, and they were spectacularly seasoned and tender and not at all gamey. We also ordered the barg, chicken and beef looleh kababs and the falafel plate, all deliciously prepared and presented! We are so glad that Adana is back! It is now beautifully decorated, brightly lit and customer service is top notch! What a wonderful treat to have you back in the Burbank/Glendale area! We will definitely be back!

    Reopened after renovation and amazing! Located in Glendale on the border of Burbank, this standalone restaurant is a must visit. It's new modern chic decor (including a new full bar) and relaxed and social vibe create a welcoming atmosphere. On the date and time of my visit, parking was easy. Adana has a small parking lot and ample street parking. I dined here with a large group on an early Sunday evening. The restaurant was busy, but seating was readily available. When I arrived, several of my group were already seated with the menu. The menu had many new items since my last visit which was many years ago. As a vegetarian, I was impressed by the many options I had to choose from. Our table ordered several items and loved them all. The appearance, textures and flavors of each dish was outstanding. And the portions were generous. The standouts were the Lamb Chops Kabob, the Chicken Breast Kabob, the Vospov Soup (lentil soup), the Dolma (probably the best Dolma I've ever had), the Salmon Filet, the Spicy Potatoes and the Oyster Mushrooms. Service was wonderful. Our server was pleasant, friendly and helpful, as were all of the other employees. The two restrooms (women and unisex) were in good working order and clean. As for pricing, Adana received the Bib Gourmand award from the MICHELIN Guide and was honored as a restaurant serving high-quality food at a great, affordable value. If you haven't already visited, you are missing out. If you have, you're probably going back. :)

    New menu!

    Food is still excellent, happy to report. The hardest part is finding the right door. There are three doors and like many, one gravitates to the one in the middle. The door closest to the parking lot is the one that opens. The remodeled space is warm and inviting. The prices are higher, as expected in today's economy. Started out with our favorites - hummus, koobideh and the honey cake. We will be back.

    I made a reservation a month in advance for a party of ten on a Tuesday evening to celebrate my engagement with my fiancée, and we are so grateful to the entire team at Adana Restaurant for helping make the occasion so special. The hostesses were incredibly warm and accommodating. My fiancée and I arrived later than expected, but the staff had no issue with starting our dinner a little later and made us feel completely at ease. It was especially meaningful to have both of our families together--my family speaking Russian and my fiancée's family speaking Farsi--and we all enjoyed sharing and experiencing the dishes together. The food was excellent. The chicken breast and thigh kebabs were juicy and flavorful, and the beef koobideh was delicious. The pita bread was exceptionally fresh. We also enjoyed the chicken pelmeni and beef blinchiki, which were a wonderful addition to the meal. The atmosphere was another highlight. The restaurant is clean, quiet, and polished, and it was the perfect setting for such an important occasion. We had dressed up for the evening, and the restaurant's atmosphere matched the occasion perfectly without feeling overly formal. From the hospitality to the food and atmosphere, Adana was exactly what we hoped for when celebrating such a meaningful moment with our families. We will definitely be back!

    This place is amazing!!! They were closed for renovations but are now open (as of June 2026)!! This was the BEST lamb I've ever had. The cherry rice is top tier so is the orange rice!!! They bake all the bread in their new wood fire overnight and the staff is so so so nice. Great all around.

Hummus was standard, but the eggplant dip is better! I came for the fesenjoon... basically stewed chicken in a pomegranate sauce. I liked it, but was too tart for me. I first tried this dish at a restaurant in the Wilshire district and saw it here. Service was spectacular. Was very attentive.

    This is not the best Armenian restaurant in the world. It is also not the most glamorous, the most…read moretrendy, nor the most ambitious. But it is without question the most important Armenian restaurant in the world. Armenians are simultaneously a diaspora people, a people of the book, and an old country people. Therefore, odd as it may seem, it is entirely appropriate that the most important Armenian restaurant in the world should not be located in Armenia at all, but should serve a diaspora community in a way that makes them feel connected to home, both interns of cuisine and in terms of communal warmth. Technically, this is more of a Lebanese restaurant than an Armenian restaurant, but that hardly matters. It's a place of celebration, merriment, laughter, and tears. In short, it is THE gathering place for Armenians in Southern California. Because of its fame and importance, the thing that is consistently overlooked about this restaurant is just how excellent the food is. Bring a Lebanese expat here and you will invariably hear them say after the first bite of hummus that it doesn't compare to the hummus they used to enjoy in Beirut. By the middle of the bowl, they will say that it actually is not as bad as they first thought. By the end of the bowl they will declare that this hummus ranks among the greatest they have ever tasted. Carousel does not overwhelm you. It seduces you. And you'll be back.

I liked that it wasn't over-seasoned like most places. The chicken kabob was just okay. Nothing really stood out about it, except that it was a little undercooked in the middle, yet still charred on the outside. The flavor of the rice was alright, but the consistency was too watery/ mushy. I liked the humus - the flavors weren't overbearing. Overall, it was okay. The portion was good but the place in general is a little overpriced. Service was alright, the girl taking our order was nice but nothing stood out. PS - no trash cans. When you're done, you have to walk over to a large dumpster to throw your trash in.
