Really good quality shawarma. Everyone is very nice and the food is delicious! One of the best shawarma spots in the area. Highly recommend!

The food is great the meat is juicy and packed with flavor-- the spicy chicken plate actually had some heat which I loved. The sides were all delicious and fresh The hummus is very light and creamy the rice perfect fluffy it was just what I wanted and the service was excellent. Seating : I believe most orders are to go but there is 1 table inside that seats four and a small table outside. read more

Their Shawarma wrap is turning into a Friday dinner tradition. Delicious. And the hummus is smooooooth.

This place is a little hole in the wall. Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center. But the food is so good. Very limited menu but what they do serve is made well. I love their wrap with their Shawarma. Either chicken or pork is good great flavor and reasonably priced. This has become one of our go to for lunch. read more

Stumbled upon this little place several weeks ago. We've been back numerous times! The chicken Shawarma plate is flavorful and is generous in size (enough for two people)! Going to give the housemade fries a try on our next visit. Definitely 5 stars! read more

I moved to Long Beach in 2020 and have since missed Armenian food. Thankfully, my dogs veterinarian is still in Glendale so it was the perfect excuse to stop by a local Armenian mom and pop. Backyard BBQ is as authentic as it can get, it's a sweet little space but they have everything necessary to make the best Armenian BBQ. Warning! This place is for people that like food well seasoned and flavored. Please don't come here if your taste buds can't even handle Tajin. The owners are a hardworking couple with a hospitable attitude, which doesn't surprise me as someone that grew up with Armenians. They were super kind and generous with the portions. The meat is grilled right in front of you and as you can imagine the smells are heaven sent. It was worth the drive! read more

Backyard Shawarma - Chicken BBQ Breast Plate - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

Family owned and run small Kabob and Lula Café, in a corner of a neighborhood strip mall. I thought I would take a chance as sometimes these small eateries can surprise with great food. I was right. Rafael, one of the owners greeted me warmly as we came in for lunch. There is only two small tables that seat 6 persons total. A large display case has a variety of marinated meats visible, and another for drinks-non alcoholic but including my fave yogurt drink and Mexican sodas. The marinated chicken breast kabob eclipses some of the best around. Moist, flavorful and generous portions are served. The Chicken Lula is good as well. Great people and a real surprise! read more

I don't write reviews unless I'm asked to, but this place is so good I felt compelled to write a review. I was born and raised in Glendale and naturally I've developed a love for Armenian food. Whenever I'd have a craving I'd drive to Glendale, but today I found my new go to spot for my Armenian food cravings and it's close to my home! I ordered the chicken lula kabob plate and it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The chicken was flavorful and tender, rice was cooked to perfection, and don't get me started on the hummus, I could eat that all day. The portions are generous and the food is made to order so if you're not a patient person, I'd suggest ordering ahead. The people who work there are friendly and were generous enough to offer me a sandwich as I waited which was delicious! Thank you Backyard BBQ, you have a customer for life! read more
