The food was delicious, the lahmajo was great, and big! The food was fresh and filling. We also had the summer salad, spas soup, dolma and the lamb. Enjoyed this place so much I went back twice during my week in Burbank. Definitely a wonderful place for authentic Armenian food.

It was my first time going to a Lebanese restaurant and Hayat's Kitchen was spectacular!…read more Hayat's Kitchen located in the center corner of a mini shopping center on the corner of Vineland Avenue & Burbank Boulevard in North Hollywood. Beautifully shaded outdoor patio with lush green astroturf carpeting. The outdoor seating area is dog friendly. The tables are decorated with beautiful placemats, plates and rolled up silverware. The waiter was friendly, placed a basket of pita bread for the table and helped describe some of the Lebanese dishes for me. Ordered an iced tea, fries and a chicken wrap. Went inside of the restaurant to use the restroom and on my way I saw the amazing desserts station, vintage serving trays & gold coffee pots, some classic framed photos of Lebanon on the walls, the kitchen and the indoor dining area. This was an amazing lunch and will come back to try more of the delicious food!

We ended up getting the feast for 2 because it was a great deal to try the meats and get 2 dips. It was all so delicious, with the exception of the pitas that came in a store bought bag. We really loved everything except the pitas. Would have been nice if they were warmed up at least. Everyone was very helpful in the restaurant and we also loved the lemonade with rose water and dessert. They even gave us some ladyfingers on the house. Would definitely return!

My family and I decided to go have dinner at this restaurant, to celebrate my birthday tonight…read more The food was amazing, flavorful and very filling. The service that was provided by the waitress and other staff was very welcoming. The whole restaurant was a vibe, very relaxing and intimate. They were able to store a birthday cake we brought in their fridge and when it was time to cut it , they brought it out with candles that they provided, which was thoughtful of them. Over all I'd recommend this restaurant, the wait for the food is a bit long but so worth it once you get your meal. We will definitely be coming back.

It isn't…read moreeasy to find, as most signs are in Armenian and once I came in, I had to make sure that this is the right place. A nice gentleman Edgar took my order and my 4 shawarmas, 2 with chicken and 2 with pork, started getting made. Edgar recommended I go with everything inside and with a bit of spice and to get the shawarmas on their fresh-baked bread rather than lavash. 15 minutes later mine and my friends' shawarmas were ready. My shawarma in the bread with chicken was absolutely delicious. It was so tender, juicy and very nicely marinated. I loved the spicy sauce that they used inside of the bread and they also kicked it up with jalapeños. The ensemble of their yummy bread, the incredible chicken shawarma, the fresh veggies and the sauce, made me feel extremely satisfied and just happy that I found this place. The spot itself is a hole-in-the-wall type of place, but with amazing energy and great spirit. The customer service was friendly and excellent too. I will definitely be back for more!

My dad orders from Sam's Eatery all the time, and we finally tried it ourselves today -- and wow,…read moreit was SO delicious. Going forward, we'll definitely be ordering from here not just for ourselves, but also for parties and family gatherings at home. We got the platter that feeds 4-6 people, and it was beautifully arranged with such generous portions. There were different types of meats, grilled vegetables, potatoes, plus rice and salad -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was especially impressive: juicy, not dry at all, and not overly seasoned so you could really taste the quality. The pricing is amazing for the quality, quantity, and presentation you get. We were honestly very impressed. I just wish they were closer to us -- but it's absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommend

Carousel is hands down the best Mediterranean spot. I've been coming here for years and it never…read moredisappoints. Their arayes are a must -- it's basically like a lahmajun with two pieces pressed together, and it's insanely good. I usually go all in and order the tabbouleh, babaganoush, a pound of lula kebab, and shish kebab. Honestly, if you're with 2+ people (or even just really hungry), ordering by the pound with sides is way better value than getting individual plates. You get more variety and it just feels like the right way to eat here. Every now and then I'll switch it up and get the liver plate -- it comes with tons of greens and onions, and when you wrap everything in their fresh pita, it's incredible. Not an everyday order, but when you're in the mood for it, it hits. If you dine in, the indoor decor is super nice and really gives that authentic Mediterranean vibe. They also play a lot of 90s music, which somehow fits perfectly and adds to the whole experience. I've dined in plenty of times and the service is always solid -- staff is friendly and attentive. Just a heads up, food can take a little longer sometimes, but that's because they're always busy and everything is made fresh, so it's worth the wait. I've also done takeout here more times than I can count -- probably over 100 orders at this point -- which says everything. This is easily one of my go-to spots and I keep coming back for a reason.

While I usually enjoy the chicken sandwich toasted, today I decided to try the chicken Shawarma plate. It came with a nice side of hummus, garlic spread, tahini, and a few other tidbits to layer your flavors. The people here are always very friendly, although they did miss one of the items on my over the phone order, even though when they read it back to me all my items were there... I really like the carnival vibe on the exterior of the building and you will be surprised that the interior of the restaurant is nicer than you would expect. The location is a little out of the way and the parking lot always seems too full, but this is a great place to check out if you've never been here, highly recommend the chicken wrap sandwich, make sure you get it toasted!
