I am from San Francisco and studying in Santa Barbara, so I don't go home very often to eat my family's Lebanese food. By chance, a friend recommended this place, and I went there with a bunch of friends to celebrate a person's birthday. Everyone loved the food, and it put a huge smile on my face the whole time I ate there. At the end, they gave me complimentary snacks. The owner, Omaya, is such an amazing person, and her hands truly know how to cook and bake. All the food and baked items are handmade and fresh. I will come here anytime I miss my family's food so it can satisfy that part of me that misses them. The service was amazing, and the servers are truly awesome and friendly. The ambiance was great too. Definitely going to come here on my birthday for a good cheat day!

My wife and k shared a combo #3 together and it filled both of us. From the moment we walked in, we could tell this place was special. The owner and staff are genuinely from the Mediterranean region, and it truly shows in the food. There's an authenticity and depth of flavor that you simply can't fake -- every dish feels like it's made with tradition, care, and real culinary knowledge. The service was excellent. The lady who helped us at the counter was especially kind and friendly, taking her time to make sure we felt welcomed and comfortable while ordering. That warm hospitality made the experience even better. What impressed me most is the value. The food is high quality, generously portioned, and very affordable. It's rare to find authentic Mediterranean cuisine at such reasonable prices. Honestly, this place just needs more word of mouth so more people in town can discover what an incredible gem it is. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try authentic Mediterranean dishes. You won't be disappointed -- it's flavorful, welcoming, and truly worth a visit!

Glendale happens to have a…read morelarge Armenian community, so not surprisingly there are lots of Persian/Armenian restaurants to choose from. We opted for Raffi's Place after a morning stint at Shane's Inspiration Playground in Griffith Park. Raffi's is a huge restaurant that's very welcoming and festive. Waiters are friendly and carry huge trays dull of juicy kabobs with mountains of rice. It has a bit of a banquet hall feeling. Parking is done in nearby pay lots within a block or two. We shared a few entrees and still had plenty of leftovers. Highlights of the lunch: 1. The free, Lavash bread is paper thin yet chewy in a good way. My 6yo must have ate a half dozen or more. You can enjoy it plain, dip it in cucumber yogurt or go authentic with raw onions, radish, and mint/basil. 2. I loved the chicken thigh kabob. Super juicy and perfectly seasoned. Besides the grilled tomato there's also a big green chili pepper. The default saffron rice is our favorite but you can try 3-4 other variants for a surcharge. 3. Ny sister got the Scottish Salmon Kabob which is also excellent. Moist and perfectly cooked too. 4. Wife and bro-in-law wet with classic Beef Koobideh and portions were huge. They give two large pieces that are roundish in shape - Not flattened to make it look big like other places. BIL are like 1/4 of his Koobideh and packed the rest as takeout, LOL! We are all foodies but past a certain age our metabolism slows, LOL! Highly recommend Raffi's - family and kid friendly and you'll leave very full or have leftover for days.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of positive energy. The restaurant was clean, well-organized, and had that perfect balance of casual comfort and polished service that makes you want to sit back and truly enjoy your meal. The food, of course, was outstanding. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and clearly prepared with care. Every bite was juicy, well-seasoned, and paired beautifully with the sides, which were just as fresh and satisfying. You can tell Zankou takes pride in consistency and quality, and it really shows in every dish that comes out of the kitchen. What truly elevated this experience to something unforgettable, though, was Marisol. Her hospitality was hands down the greatest we've ever experienced anywhere. She was warm, attentive, genuinely kind, and made us feel welcomed like family rather than just customers. Marisol went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, checking in at just the right moments, answering questions with a smile, and creating an atmosphere that felt personal and sincere. Her positive attitude and care completely transformed the meal into a memorable experience. Because of Marisol and the incredible food, this Zankou Chicken location has officially become our spot. Not just Zankou in general--but this one specifically. We are definitely coming back, and we'll be looking forward to seeing Marisol again when we do. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and unforgettable hospitality--this place gets our highest recommendation.
