    The best baklava ever
    Sara B.

    So kind, great service, and delicious food! They have a lot of options including dessert. Open late

    Lahmajoun (Beef and Cheese)
    Charmaine V.

    I found this place while I was making some late night Uber Eats deliveries. One delivery request sent me here. The cashier was very friendly and we chatted about their menu offerings while I was waiting for the order. I decided to place an order and pick it up on my way home. I got the beef and cheese lamajoun with a cup of yogurt (it reminded me a lot of tzatziki). It was hard for me to leave the bag alone while I was driving home because the food smelled amazing. It was very good and I plan on returning to try their shawarma pizzas!

    Thank you grandma for the baklava. Every ikea trip and you want a shawarma this family doesn't play. Grandma insisted I grab the baklava Mike and aren 10 minutes before they close hooked me up and really blessed me with a giant wrap for the night. Grandma gave me cookies and baklava for free. They are definitely good people. Yeah zankou is delicious but there's more than one good shawarma spot in town. The reviews don't lie lmao

    Hair tangled in Lamaju
    Stella V.

    Wait was quoted 20 minutes but took 43. The ajarski was very salty, and we unfortunately found a hair in the lamajune and had to throw everything away. I don't mind paying for quality, but not for food we couldn't eat. Customer service was disappointing. I sent a photo as requested and never got a response.

    I sincerely must say that it is the best Shawarma I've ever had. Unbelievably tasty, everything is the right. Perfect amount of spiciness, ratio of the meat and the veggies are just right as well. Customer service is good too, friendly staff and fast service. We took a seat out in the patio and it is pleasant and private. I would definitely recommend this place and I personally can't wait to visit this place again in very near future. I'll be trying their other menu items as well.

    I had such a great experience at the Glendale Shawarma. First of all, everything has great and balanced flavor. Second, everyone there has such a warm and welcoming smile. Lastly, the food quality is amazing... seriously, anything that has dough is made fresh by this nice lady. I am happy that we chose Glendale shawarma that evening since there was a lot of competition in the area. We definitely plan on coming back but during the day next time

    Very subtle place. You would never guess how delicious the food is by the outside. I think it is family owned and that is the quality. Like mom made it. It is so good. The meat is fresh, veggies fresh, hummus perfect, and bread freshly baked. What!! I could not ask for more. Everything is made with love. I wish I took pictures but I ate the food too fast here is the dessert

    First time eating at this here. Prior to choosing this location there were many other options and ended up choosing this one due to reviews. Very happy we did so! Great quality food and service, the man in the front taking orders who I forgot his name made me feel like I was at home. Genuinely nice and helpful when it came to choosing what we wanted to eat. I couldn't wait to get the meal and once we did it exceeded expectations! I love a great shawarma meal. Just want to say thank you again Glendale Shawarma for your great quality service and food!

    I love this place ! They're so good I crave it every time if you are ever in Glendale, definitely try this place of your craving a Shawarma.

    This place is so bomb. Everything is so flavorful and I think you get a great amount of food for the price. Very nice customer service as well! 10/10 would come again!

    this is very tasty shawarma here it is rare. I took pork and beef both of them were great. guys have a big menu and they have very tasty lemonades. I recommend this place. 2 shawarmas and two lemonades will cost about $30 I waited about 10 minutes in total. and they have cool paper bags that will not let you get confused

Ordered two of the standard dinner and two of the vegan dinner and it was a lots of food--we ended up taking about 4 boxes to go at the end of the meal, definitely come hungry if you decide to do the set menu. My personal favorite was the falafel and the baba ghanoush, especially with the pomegranate seeds which provided a nice brightness. I appreciated the variety of flavors across the different appetizers and plates. Had the choice of coffee, hot mint tea, or hot black tea to close out the meal which helped with digestion. The space is lavishly decorated and it was busy throughout, while likely also was the cause for slower service. Street parking wasn't too hard to find as it was still early for dinner time on Sunday.

    I love Mediterranean food and this place was recommended by our friends…read more Food: 5/5 The quality of food here is amazing. We ordered two of the carousel plates with four different meats: beef, veal, filet, and chicken. The beef and chicken kebabs were super flavorful. It paired deliciously with their rice, roasted veggies, and cabbage salad. I also love their crispy thin pita chips. I was not a fan of the veal liver as it was too gamey for me. Overall the food was really good and the portion sizes were great. Drinks: 3/5 The drinks here were not that good. They were a dollar or two higher than your regular bar. However, the taste was mediocre. Their hibiscus Paloma was very bland and a little watered down. Service: 5/5 We came here on a Friday night at 7pm, we had a reservation and got seated pretty quickly despite it being quite busy. Our server checked up on our table often and our food came out pretty fast. They also gave out some bread, cheese, veggies, and olives while we waited for our food. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is lively and feels a little upscale. They have an outdoor seating area as well. Overall, I would come back here for the food, but maybe not the drinks.

TLDR: Hear me out, if you have any doubt about chicken being less superior to beef or other meat. TRY the chicken thigh here. It makes justice for chickens (I still need to try their beef or lamb tho) I was running errands in Glendale today and I was starving and looking for lunch spots around. Turns out Mini Kabob was 3 mins walk away, it was a no brainer, my feet just took me there. Didn't expect to go there, so didn't order ahead but I'm fine with waiting. After last time's magnificent chicken thigh, I was determined to try their other entrees. However, Armen said the chicken thigh is the best seller out of their entrees- well, time for a round 2 I guess? This time I'm eating the entree at the spot and I just gotta say- IT SLAPS!! I'm genuinely not a big fan of chicken, because when you can choose beef why chicken? But this chicken is so juicy, so tender, so heavenly. Yummy!! The garlic sauce is great but the hummus and the fresh lavash, h o l y - f. Last time it was already so good even as a leftover, and eating it right at the spot is just transcending. I also tried their Armenian pear soda, it's delicious and refreshing with the heat right now in summer. I left with my tummy happy and their service is always great, they get busy but still no attitude, no bs, gives the right recommendations. Even this is like a take out restaurant, it still surpasses most of the kabob restaurant. Without doubt I'm coming back again after their break, please be there. I love you mini kabob

That's not all, tip will also be requested when checking out. Our Visit: My family and I have visited Elena's before and had a good experience, which is why this visit was so disappointing. This time, we noticed a clear drop in food quality, portion sizes, overall service and an unexpected new surprise on the bill. I came in with my wife, our two young children (10month old and 2 year old), and my mom. Unfortunately, the pita bread was stale, a portion of my wife's chicken was undercooked, the portions were noticeably smaller than before, and the server completely forgot my mom's drink. Those issues alone were frustrating, but what really stood out were the added fees at the end, fees that were not charged in the past. We were charged a 20% "large party fee", along with an additional "service fee". When I spoke with the owner, he explained that their system automatically applies a large party charge to any group of 4 or more people, including babies who don't even order food. That threshold seems unusually low, especially since most places consider 6 or more a "large party" and from my experience typically don't consider babies 2 years and younger as occupants. Even more concerning, none of these fees were clearly communicated to us beforehand. Being surprised with multiple charges at the end of a meal feels misleading and leaves a bad impression. To add to that, after already including these fees, the payment process still prompts customers to leave an additional tip. I've only seen this type of fee structure at higher-end restaurants and for more people, not at a casual spot like this, and even then it's usually disclosed upfront. If a business is going to charge extra, the service and overall experience should reflect that. My recommendation for Elena's, if you want to make more money, just raise your food prices so your customers at least know how much they're going to spend at the end. Not slap surprise charges at the end and force your customers to pay. On a positive note, at least they were playing Fast and the Furious on their TV. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BILL. Please be aware of their shady business practices.
