    First of all they have long hours and I'll hope they keep it that way. But if they ha w open late AND good food. That would be something right? Let me tell you I am a very happy camper that I went literally the extra mile to get here. The food is great. I had a chicken shawarma and it was one of the juiciest and tasty I'll ever had. In some parts the shawarma contains fries. In Armenia not but it's not missing something it's so flavorful with all the sauces and fresh greens. They have open late - I am thinking of going back. No kidding but it is really delicious I had a side of falafel I'll have to say compared to the wrap I was a bit disappointed it's not freshly made I am not even a 100 % sure it's made in house. I should have asked before I set this out here. Anyway I eat all five somit want bad but it will not be my favorite place to eat falafel. That said there are so many menu options I will try the next couple times I am back then that I will. I ended the late night dinner with a waffle. Not the typical American "Belgian" style waffle or any American style waffle - no a really tasty waffle topped with a lot of fresh fruit and Ice-cream and on top Nutella. Sooo yummm an Armenien coffee on the side and all is good.

    Amazing. Best beef shawarma. Thank you so much. Delicious sauce, thin lavash and tender meat. For three years of living in America this is the best taste for me. Quickly cooked and served with a smile. RECOMMEND

    The food here is delicious. They have good soups and appetizer. It's unbelievable. I really recommend it with anyone in the area. It's a really good place to have lunch.

    My burger was okay. The staff was really nice. The main selling point was my boss and I were really hungry and nearby.

    The food is amazing, and the service is exceptional! I might be eating here everyday for lunchread more

    Total waste of $100. The meat was inedible--way too salty and covered in so much pepper it burned…read more I don't know who is writing these positive reviews, but they are clearly fake. Real people don't eat this garbage. Save your money and go somewhere else. Update: The owner's response is just as bad as their food." "Instead of taking responsibility for serving inedible, over-salted, and over-peppered meat for $100, the owner chooses to call me 'petty' and claim I'm 'competition.' I am a paying customer who just wanted a decent dinner, not a business rival. Your inability to handle honest feedback is pathetic. If you spent as much time in the kitchen as you do making up conspiracy theories about your customers, maybe the food wouldn't be so salty. Trust the 1-star reviews--the owner's attitude confirms everything. Update (Response to the liar/manager): "It's pathetic to see the manager and owner publicly lying by claiming I'm 'not a customer' just to protect your fake rating. I have the DoorDash receipt and the transaction record to prove exactly what I bought and when. I will be providing this proof to DoorDash support this evening, along with screenshots of your insults and dishonesty. We'll see who is lying then. Instead of gaslighting customers who complain about your salty, over-peppered food, you should learn some professionalism. You took $100 of my money and then called me a liar--that is a new low for any business in LA."

    Elite Garden is really a full Armenian and Russian food eatery, but we go there for the Polish…read morefood, which we love. All of it is great. They have a wide menu and you will find something you want. They have the best Pelmeni and you can get these dumplings with chicken or beef. Their Armenian Yogurt soup is also great. Their Pozharsky Cutlet stuffed with mushrooms is amazing and different. Their salads are also good. We love the Ahi Tuna salad and the seafood salad. All of their mains are good. And believe it or not their fries are so good, it is a side dish. The service is ever so nice and kind and we love the manager/owner who came by the check on us. What a nice guy. Everything was perfect. We could not have been happier. The inside is comfortable and really pretty. All the tables are dressed with white table clothes and cutlery is already set up. Enjoy.

    I like your original because it has personality. I tightened it up while **keeping your "gun to her…read morehead" line**, your humor, and your storytelling style. Oh man... I wish I could give **no stars** or maybe even **minus one star**. I have lived in this city for over 30 years, and I frequently go out for dinner. I love ethnic food and enjoy trying new restaurants. But **THIS**. I repeat, **THIS** was the most shocking and truly unbelievable restaurant experience I have ever had. My spouse and I like to eat late, so we checked Yelp to see if there were any restaurants in the North Hollywood area open later than 9:00 p.m. We found this one with a 4-star rating. Wow... not bad. I didn't bother reading the 1-star reviews. LOL. My mistake. The menu sounded great, although a bit pricey, so we decided to give it a try. After what we experienced, I'm honestly amazed this place is still allowed to be open. It really makes me wonder whether the city ever checks on some of these restaurants. As soon as we parked, we heard incredibly loud music. We assumed there was a private party or some kind of celebration. But when we walked through the patio area and into the restaurant, we discovered the inside was empty. The music blasting from the stage was so loud that my spouse and I couldn't even understand each other. Then a woman came out from some door--maybe the kitchen, I have no idea. Oh my God... she looked like she had just gotten out of bed. Her demeanor was so unfriendly and unwelcoming that I was honestly in awe. She looked absolutely miserable. My spouse practically had to yell just to tell her we'd rather sit on the patio, hoping it would be a little quieter. It wasn't. Two men were sitting at a table across from us with all kinds of equipment, and behind us sat a couple with two children. As I always try to be friendly, I smiled and said, "Hi, how are you?" She looked at me almost in disbelief and forced herself to smile as if someone were holding a gun to her head and making her do it. Then she took our drink order and disappeared. Meanwhile, one of the children behind us started screaming and yelling. Of course, the parents couldn't have cared less. I honestly don't understand why some parents think that when their kids behave like bloody little brats, screaming and yelling, everyone else in the restaurant is supposed to enjoy it too. No, we do **NOT**. Teach your kids how to behave in public. It worked pretty well when we boomers were growing up! Anyway... back to the restaurant. Our lovely, oh-so-friendly waitress eventually came back. Still no drinks. Somehow, after the way she treated us, we weren't even surprised anymore. We ordered our food, and off she went again with her incredibly "welcoming" attitude. Then, all of a sudden, those two men across from us got up and went to the stage. They turned out to be the night's entertainers. The music had already been painfully loud, but once they started singing, it became even louder. The funny part was... who exactly were they performing for? The restaurant inside was empty, and outside there was only one family and us. After a while, I turned to my spouse and said, "I think they're singing to themselves." After enduring about two songs, my spouse quietly told me that the couple behind us had started smoking. My back was toward them, so I hadn't noticed. That was the final straw. We certainly did **NOT** expect people to be smoking while we were trying to eat in a restaurant. We looked at each other and said, "Nope. We've had enough." A cranky, unfriendly waitress, two guys singing so loudly I'm sure the entire neighborhood could hear them, screaming children, and now cigarette smoke? No, thank you. My spouse went inside hoping to find our waitress so we could let her know we were leaving, but she was nowhere to be found. At that point, we simply walked out. We have never done that before, but this experience was completely unacceptable. Between the miserable service, the deafening music, the singers performing for practically nobody, and people smoking while others were trying to eat, this was, without question, the worst restaurant experience we've ever had. Stay away from this excuse for a restaurant.
