I just got purchased a chicken shawarma with French fries for $17.63 and, unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. For the first time in my life, I encountered such an unusual shawarma, only three pieces of chicken and a four-layered lavash in which, apart from onions, I found no meat. This experience left me with an unpleasant aftertaste and did not meet my expectations. I strongly advise against ordering anything from this establishment at such prices! read more

I take my Oma here on the weekends. We place our order and then we shop at the Big Square. By the time we finish shopping, our food is ready and we eat! I ordered the beef plate and my Oma ordered the chicken plate. The food is fresh and the portions are HUGE!!! They provided us with lavash bread which was great to make little wraps. The Hot Pan makes delicious food and gives you a lot of it with your order. We will definitely return to try some of the Shawarma! read more

Good food and very courteous and professional staff. Got the lule chicken plates and the chicken breast. Would recommend both. I like that the chicken breast is not salty. read more

The most flavorless middle eastern meal I have ever eaten. I literally had to throw salt on everything. I had the chicken kebab plate, which came with hummus, cucumber/tomato salad and rice. The price was good, but I would pay extra for more flavor. They also have fake sriracha at the tables that tastes like ketchup. Pass this place up. There are way better options in Glendale. read more

Chicken lule plate is the best! I could eat it everyday! It's as yummy as it is pretty!

Nice and clean establishment located in the market Big Square. They offer really large portions. You can easily share any plate with someone. The beef shish kabob is my favorite. Really juicy and seasoned week. The shirazi salad here is probably the best of my favorites that I've had. For me, other Shirazi salads have way too much olive oil and I think this one had just enough. The chicken Luleh was solid as well. I like the beef shawarma flavor, but felt that dish was a little salty for me. My brother had the chicken wings with fries and they were nice and crispy though I wish they came with some type of sauce. Aside from that, We enjoyed the food! read more

Their store is located inside of a market, first time it took me a while to find this place. But their food is awesome, I've tried their shawarma beef and Luleh plate. It comes with rice, roasted tomatoes and pepper, hummus and bread. Their portion is huge too! Price is reasonable for their menu. My go to place when I crave for kabob. read more

I had no idea this place even existed until a friend told me that there was a good Shawarma place nearby. The lady who helped us at the counter was extremely friendly, and the chicken thigh rice plate was awesome. The price was very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. Definitely going back to try it again! read more

Don't go. Worse service ever. Waited for over 50 minutes for three shawarmas. I also asked specifically what goes in there and she failed to mention it has garlic sauce. After I tell her, she goes but we already made it. No apologies or didn't even offer to make another one or refund it. As for the shawarmas, they simply burnt it. In short, waited for over 50 minutes with two small kids for rude service and no food. read more

Hot Pan is inside the newish Armenian market, Big Square. It looks newly remodeled and chain like, but I believe this is the only location. They have appetizers, beef and chicken shawarma, kabobs, burgers, and sides. You can get the shawarma and kabobs as a wrap or plate. They have vertical grills for their sharwarma. Order at the counter. The food took about 5 minutes - so they are fast. I guess everything was already cooked. * Chicken sharwarma plate ($9.99): The menu said that "all plates are served with choice of rice or bulgur, lavash, two of our side dishes, grilled tomato and pepper." They didn't have any bulgur. I didn't get a grilled tomato or pepper either. The chicken shawarma was unusual. Normally, chicken shawarma is shaved into small pieces and served dry. Their chicken shawarma was carved into big pieces and smothered in two kinds of creamy sauce (one white - yogurt? but it didn't taste like yogurt, one light orange). The sauces were sweet. I was hoping for a potent garlic sauce but the garlic sauce that I was given tasted like ranch dressing. As a garlic lover, the sauce was a big disappointment. The chicken had a strong chicken flavor but was on the dry side. They provided a lot of rice, 4 small pieces of lavash, a chopped salad of cucumber, tomato and red onions that added a nice, crunchy freshness, and some creamy, thick hummus. While I enjoyed the plate, the sauces disappointed me. I need that potent garlic sauce that Armenians are known for. read more

On Wednesdays I try a new restaurant beginning with the next letter of the alphabet. This was the "H" on my weekly alphabetized restaurant hunt. Wed 12/02/2020 Never tried this place, but found their menu online. Its a fairly limited menu -Kebabs, Wraps, Sides and (a Burger?). The joy of a limited menu, is that it makes ordering a whole lot easier. I decided to do take out today. Ordering was quick and I was told it would be 25 mins. Finding this place was another matter. My GPS took me to the parking lot of BIG SQUARE, a grocery store. There were no signs for Hot Pan Shawarma Grill. I parked and called them and they told me it was actually inside the store. BIG SQUARE it self seems curious enough and seems to offer a lot. That's worth a future trip on its own. Masks were being worn and all café tables/chairs were blocked off so all food is to go. I had ordered 2 chicken kebab wraps and a chicken plate, as well as beef skewers a la carte. The wraps and plates are huge. Either one can be split by kids or sensible adults. I of course ate my entire wrap solo. The food quality was pretty good and there were no complaints. Yummy, warm, healthy-ish food. Value for Money B+ Food Quality B+ Service B-/C+ So why the lower rating? I felt they were not honest about pricing. The cost at the place was about 25% more than my order was based on their menu online. The lady was quick to let me know they are aware it's not updated, but they never told me when I ordered what the total would be, or shared on the phone that prices have changed. The issue really is theirs, because it was THEIR on line menu - they own it - not a photo off yelp, or a third party website, where I understand they cannot be held accountable. And once you're at the restaurant, hungry and tired - you just kind of have to give in. read more

They make everything fresh when you order it so you could be left waiting for a while, but it's really good. Unexpected for a small place located in a grocery store. I've been twice in the last month. Prices are extremely fair! read more

So far I've only been here twice, and I love the food always fresh, reasonably priced with great customer service. I would highly recommend it to anyone. read more

Overall the food was okay, needs more flavor. Felt you get more rice than meat for the price you pay. So rude when it comes to service.

The restaurant is located inside the BIG RED SQUARE market in Glendale. 1. The staff was amazing and very very nice. 2. The food tasted just like home made. The kebabs were juicy and cooked perfect. The salads tasted very fresh. The rice was very tasty as well. 3. The restaurant was very clean and family oriented. I highly recommend the restaurant for family night outs or even a quick grab and go. read more

I just came here for lunch .... this place was not good! And I really wanted to like it after my co worker told me it was amazing :/ I had the chicken Luleh plate and the rice was very mushy !?!? Not sure how you do that to basmati rice ... the chicken has a strange texture ... one of like a breakfast sausage maybe and seemed like it was frozen or something ... I couldn't even tell it was chicken when I ate it ... the only reason why I didn't send it back was because EVERYONE there was really really nice ! The customer service is great ! Hence the 2 stars ... but other than that I won't be back :( read more

I live in the neighborhood- though i give them a try. I order 2 beef shawarma wraps - wife and I really enjoyed the taste of it. It was very nicely packed in the great tasting wrap / tortilla. Will come back ! Oh by the way fries is a must try! read more

Amazing food. Great service ! They also have the FIFA game playing here which is amazing ! Thank you guys 5 stars !!

Awesome food and kebob, I have enjoy your menu always, BIG LIKE GUYS. I was there couple times and I love it.

I usually come here to get the fried dumplings which I've gotten 3 times and they were always great. This last time I went they were completely different. There was no flavor in the meat and dry inside. The outside looked like it was boiled instead of fried and overall a complete turnaround. They must have switched chefs. read more

This is my favorite place to eat shawarma and french fries because they are really freaking delicious with the sauces, the service is also great shawarma gets ready in about 15 minutes. read more

I was visiting LA and came across this place since it was nearby. It's inside of a grocery store so I was hesitant but still ordered. I got the beef schwarma plate and it was amazing!! Huge portion and food was hot and fresh. I'll definitely swing by here next time I'm in town. read more

This was the worst Lule kabab and chicken shawarma we ever tried I will never order from this place again

I love their family meal here, juicy chicken and ribs are my go to! Their (cucumber/tomatoes) salad is absolutely delicious, I could eat it daily. You also get delicious lavash bread with it. We've ordered dinner three times already, I also grabbed a bite when shopping for groceries one, on all four occasions, it was fresh, juicy, delicious. I highly recommend it. read more

The worst service, we order shawarma plate we got the wrap instead, and the lady was arguing with us that you didn't mention the wrap we even point to the picture of the shawarma plate while we were ordering the food but they gave us the wrong order and instead of accepting their mistake they were blaming and giving us hard time for their misunderstanding. read more

This restaurant is my current favorite kabob/Armenian go to place. Compliments to the cook(s)! And staff! Their food is yummy, love the chicken armenian bbq, the rice is perfect (not too dry, not mushy, instead it is buttery, delicuousness), the hummus and sides are a great combo. The portions are great for my family. The restaurant is tidy and clean. I hope they keep it up, because I will continue going here as long as they do . As a mom, this has saved my last minute dinners and lunches. Its convenient: fast, close to home, plenty of parking, affordable. Highly recommend :) read more
