Great food and the owner is just the absolute sweetest person. I loved the salads he offered as samples because it was my first time there. All of the kabobs were delicious and the rice was perfection. Will definitely be back. read more

I like this restaurant. It's a hop, skip and a jump away from my house. It's usually very quiet during dinner time. We often have the whole restaurant to ourselves. Pita Bread-Soft and served warm. Falafel-Delicious! Cooked to a Golden Brown color. Crispy on the outside. Soft and moist on the inside. Chicken Combo-Chicken thighs were good, but slightly chewy. Chicken luleh (ground chicken) Delicious. Service-Excellent. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves! Parking-Small private lot shared with other stores. Plenty of street parking. read more

We had a delicious dinner and fantastic experience on our visit of February 28, 2019. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, lamb, beef, vegetables, wonderful appetizer tray and very flavorful teas. Our service was great and the portions were large enough that we had plenty to take home to enjoy. We will definitely visit again and will bring more friends and family to enjoy the great food. read more

By far the Best Mediterranean restaurant around. I drive from ventura county to enjoy Cafe Elegante. Aside from the food-you not meet another restaurant owner more gracious and friendly.. Fantastic staff and amazing fresh , cooked to order food! What more can you ask for!! read more

Great eggplant!!!! Nice folks. The falafel and chicken were great. Hummus needs some lemon juice. But great spot overall.

The food is fresh and healthy! Love the taste and the people who manage it. I miss eating inside the restaurant. I will continue to support it with take out orders! read more

We love this place for dinner. It's quiet, no TVs in your face, excellent service, and the food is always delicious! Try it. You'll like it! read more

Suuuuuch delicious food! We had an event here and my friends could not stop raving about the food. All the appetizers were fresh and delicious. Of the main courses, everyone especially loved the chicken barbecue. They have great options for both vegans and vegetarians as well. And the staff were so nice. A wonderful experience from beginning to end read more

Great falafels, moist and crunchy with a side of hummus. Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves are also a good pick.

Ordered to go. The owner is friendly and amazing, even offered me anything to drink. I'm glad to help this business who stays positive amidst the pandemic. Resilience at its best! Keep fight Cafe Elegante! read more

I have been here many times. This place is family owned. All the food is made fresh. Its all very tasty. I have probably ordered everything on the menu at this point. Highly recommend. read more

I like this place. The kabobs are always very tasty. The side dishes are good, too. They have good service and the food comes out quickly. This is the only place where i enjoy eating the egg plant dish called "igrra." Its very tasty. I also like that its a quiet place to eat, not very noisy. Parking is easy to find and theres plenty of residential parking. Give this place an opportunity. You wont be disappointed. read more

Very good Mediterranean food. A bit over priced and their portions are on the small side so I wavered between a 3 and a 4 but gave a 4 for taste, as opposed to portion size and price. Their eggplant dip is to die for. Excellent babaghanoush. Their hummus is a bit bland. Their Cornish hen entree and beef shish kebob entrees were both good with nice fresh steamed vegetables. Unlike most restaurants, you have little choice on entree sides and can only really get rice or veggies .... no hummus. Upgrade your entree and treat yourself to the sour cherry rice or rice with barberries. This restaurant won't take the place of my favorite Mediterranean restaurant: Red Moon Lounge ..: but their eggplant dip is so good that I will keep ordering here when craving Mediterranean and especially eggplant. read more

Cafe Elegante is amazing! I love their vegan friendly options. The veggie kabob is my favorite. The lentil soup is great too. Friendly staff and fanstastic freshly made food. Highly recommended read more

Great neighborhood spot down the street from my house. It's always hot, fresh, and satisfying. Burbank is limited on food choices that are not chain restaurants so I'm glad this place is around. read more

This is a cute little family run restaurant in a little strip mall on Glenoaks in Burbank. My family and friends that live in the area eat here regularly and this is my first time writing a review. I highly recommend Cafe Elegante for lunch or dinner. They have the best service. The food is excellent...so fresh and delicious. It is Mediterranean cuisine. You can easily eat healthy if you are on a vegetarian or a high protein diet. I love the beef and the chicken shish-kabob. Combinations come with great basmati rice or you can get a salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. I have never been disappointed. read more

Delicious! Enjoyed the beef and chicken Luleh combo with rice and roasted tomato. Hearty serving. The music is wonderful, and ambiance very pleasant. The owner was greeting patrons as if they were family. Made the experience very nice! Will definitely return to this wonderful place. read more

Visiting California for the first time and happy we stopped here. Food tasted fresh and delicious.

At the bottom of my block, Cafe Elegante is a little restaurant. When I do t feel like cooking, what could be more convenient? It's consistently delicious, with great prices and super friendly service. One of my favorites is the vegetarian sampler. read more

My family and i love this place. It's clean and the service is great! The food is the best in Burbank:) One of the things i love is the setting and calmness of the place. I live in Banning Ca but when i come down to Burbank, i can't leave without getting a taste of this place! Love it:) read more

The baba ganoush was excellent the food was excellent the beef kabobs were excellent I love this place

Great food and service! Nice big room for banquets! Good parking in a quiet corner of Burbank

First time I went in I was greeted with a friendly helo. I order lunch special chicken breast which comes on a bed of rice a couple pie of pita a bread tomato and pepers/onions. Great price good wass delicious, I go there 2 to 3 times a week and food is always consistent. Tastes great and stafff is supeR friendly best place to get lunch! read more

Love this place. I don't know what they do to their rice, but it is the best rice on the planet. I like the kabobs, both chicken and beef. Portions are good and the price (I feel) is a super deal given the quality of the food. I like that they don't over season or bury their kabobs in a ton of garlic or onion - the quality of meat is good, so they don't have to hide it with spices. I usually do take out, and the staff is always super nice when I pick up. I personally think these are the best kabobs in Burbank. read more

I have come several times in the past several years and have always enjoyed the food. Today I was impressed with the service. When the server came and asked us if we wanted anything else (I wish I got her name but I haven't seen her before so maybe she's new?), I looked at my friend and casually said, "it's up to the birthday girl." We declined and just waited for the check. Well, 3 minutes later they are coming out with a slice of cake and singing happy birthday. Pretty thoughtful. I am happy to support this business. read more

We went there today with coworkers for lunch. Their lunch specials are great size and price. Its a great place and very relax environment to enjoy ur lunch. It is not visible from outside which is bad cause people can't find out about this great place. read more

Excellent little spot for lunch (since I come here on my lunch break). The Chicken breast kabob lunch special is awesome! Very juicy and great flavor. I'll even say it's one of the better kabobs I've had in Glendale and I've been to many in the surrounding area. Fast and friendly service, this is definitely going to be one of my go-to places for lunch read more

The owner and his daughter are both very nice.... the greek salad with chicken (w/ house dressing) is a personal fav... food is always fresh, delicious & service is great. =) read more

love this place to have a nice dinner with my wife. Food is great, and you can have a nice meal without a wait. My wife likes the chicken Lule' along with the hummus and eggplant (ikra)?? If you don't want to deal with whining people and long waits accompanied by a great meal than this is the place. The owner and his family are always very cordial too and they come and greet you like you're family. read more

I came here at 7pm on a weeknight and there was only one other couple in the place. The food was so bland I couldn't even eat it. The veggies tasted like they had freezer burn. I'm sorry but for the $$ it was just so not worth it. read more

A friend of mine brought me dinner from Cafe Elegante and I must say it is quite a treat. I had the Chicken Luleh which was perfectly seasoned, juicy and cooked well. I love the Basmati Rice. The Pita Bread is soft and tastes great with the Humus. I can eat a full container of that. The Yogurt and Cucumber Dip is perfect in my opinion. My next items I would like to try are the Persian Salad and the Baklava. My friend also surprised me with the Persian Ice Cream. I love ice cream and have never experienced the flavor of the rose water, I highly recommend it! I will be back for more. Lucky to have friends that introduce you to new things to fall in love with! read more

Fantastic!!! We followed other reviewers and tried Cafe Elegante. Very worthy of the 5 star rating. We tried the egg plant dip as recommended by other reviewers and was not disappointed. In fact our very courteous server even gave us a cucumber salad and tzatziki compliments of the house, we had the lamb, beef, ground beef(taste like gyro meat) and filet mignon. Everyone loved their meal. Very, very reasonable for 6 of us with a bottle of wine, dessert and coffee $136.00 - yes very reasonable! We will make a point of visiting them again!!!! read more

This place is a MUST - they have been open for 11 years and we have been going for 11 years. its to the point that they know what we want and menus are not needed. i order the cornish kebab and the lamb - AMAZING! MUST TRY!!!! read more

it is my first time eating here. I had their lunch special loole kabab which was very good. loved it. the kabab and rice portion is smaller than the average dinner plate but you can't expect more at $5.99 price range. I am glad I found this place which is minutes from my office. planning to go there often. read more

I have been eating here since it opened 15 years ago. You can't get better Mediterranean food than this. It is always fresh, and consistent. The service is great, and the owner Greg is a great person and businessman. I recommend highly!! read more

This restaurant serve some great kabob plates that aren't really too expensive. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. I highly recommend dining in here! read more

Probably the best kabob in Burbank and Glendale. It's authentic and not like Shiraz and Shamshiri...commercialized. Home made food is the best way to go, and this place has it! read more

Brought my family here from out of town. They loved it, I loved every bite. Highly recommending it to friends. I got the abaloo chicken dish, it was fresh and tender. Perfectly cooked. Sad to see it wasn't busy, people were missing out. read more

Really good kabobs. Nice and quiet. The humus was AMAZING!!!! Great service. Was not really packed or busy when we came which was really nice. read more

This was some of the most delicious food that I've ever eaten in my whole life. The owner was an incredible man, the vibe was great, the service was terrific, and the food topped it all off. I wish I could rate 10 stars... read more
