    One of the best sandwiches in LA. Each cost $29 but can easily share unless you really hungry. Hummus with the chili Crisp is a must. I added pastrami to take it to the next level. Worth driving out of your way to get it. Operate out of a ghost kitchen, order pick up time slot and enjoy.

    Basturma Brisket
    Edward S.

    III Mas offers phenomenal basturma sandwiches. The Basturma Brisket is now one of my favorite sandwiches. Basturma is Armenian cured beef, prepared with salt and spices, and typically sliced thin. Basturma Brisket: This is not your grandmother's basturma. The thick slabs of brisket are double stacked and juicy. I'll just go ahead and say it. The smoky slabs are better than Texas brisket and well known pastrami spots, much more succulent and tender. The spices and zesty spread complement the beefiness beautifully. There's a pretty bark that's fenugreek forward. The melted cheese and abundant tangy pickles balance the richness. The thick and fluffy pita stands up to the meat with a dense enjoyable chewiness. Ordering and Pickup: Place your order at their website. Pickup is through a door behind the ghost kitchen building. Call them when you arrive and they'll bring your order out. There are a couple tiny tables in the lot if you can't wait. Parking: There are about a dozen spots in the back. Or you can look for street parking.

    Incredible basterma brisket sandwich!! III Mas is a ghost kitchen, so you'll have to pick up from the back, and potentially call when you arrive. The brisket sandwich has Southern BBQ quality and melts in your mouth! It's a bit pricey, but each sandwich is pretty large and can feed 2 people.

    I've been going around to the top rated spots for sandwiches to hunt for the best. There are so many great pastrami spots... some of the most famous being Langer's and Katz's. I don't think these two are the best but I was recently debating between these two. It was somewhat of a close contest for me. I like Langer's a bit more than Katz's. Anyhow, I tried this Basturma Brisket from iii Mas and I felt like it was better than either of those two famous ones. I didn't even need to think about it. The brisket is great quality and the home made pita is what really sets it apart for me. It's so soft and perfect. SERVICE It's a ghost kitchen at the moment. Order online, park in the back lot, call them to tell them you're there, then collect your goodies. PARKING Small, shared lot behind the building. Limited street parking.

    Straight fire. See, this is the kind of fusion that honors the culinary traditions in a way that confuses you (in a good way) as to which you're enjoying at any given moment. Bite this way, basturma. Bite that way, brisket. This way, pita. That way, 'cue. Truly a triumph, Chef Arthur.

    I've never had a brisket sandwich like this--wild is an understatement! They load it up with perfectly cooked brisket, flavorful sauces, homemade bread, and delicious pickles. Definitely worth ordering in advance!

    Ok WOW. Just wow. III Mas is a ghost kitchen in Glendale with some tasty, high quality food. We ordered online- the brisket sandwich and cheese manousheh. We went to the location described waited in line (although we saw some people who called the number and waited in the car) and the food was brought out to us. Just an FYI there is no place to sit and eat since it is a ghost kitchen! First off, the brisket sandwich is substantial- with enough meat to fill my husband- which is a difficult task! Otherwise the bread, sauce, cheese, brisket- all SO tasty. I had the brisket by itself as well which was divine. We really enjoyed this sandwich. The cheese manousheh was the perfect amount of bread, cheese, spice (Aleppo pepper). I was so impressed and wanted to finish the whole thing myself. Overall, would highly recommend III Mas Bakery and Deli! Will definitely be returning for some yummy food.

    Basturma brisket is flavorful and tender. The bread is soft and chewy on the inside and has got some crisp on the outside. Chaman spread gives the sandwich an added flavor. Service was fast and friendly. This is a pick up only place, but they keep the exterior of the building nicely kept and parking at the back was convenient.

    Food I had tasted great, I ate it in the parking lot because the rest/other orders placed with the party took an additional 45 mins after the time told to us... I can understand the ghost kitchen they work out of may be small and hard to complete orders...at the end of day, people can only wait for food for so long... Person bringing the orders out reiterated that if we are going to place a "big order"( food for 6, 2 separate orders), that we should do so a day in advance.. I didn't get a chance to try any of the other menu items, as I had to head back to work... Other members of this lunch party said the sandwich was a bit on the salty side...

    Very delicious sandwich packed with thick cut basturma style brisket (reminded me of pastrami). The bread is delicious, the pickled persian cucumbers are delicious, the spread...everything delicious! A bit steep at $25 considering it's in a ghost kitchen and there are only two small tables outside, but the quality is definitely there. Some people were smoking cigarettes at one of the tables so you may want to eat the sandwich in your car. Very nice service, worker came out multiple times to check on customers and update them about status of their order.

    Incredible basturma brisket sando! Best sandwich I've had all year. You order online and then pick up at the ghost kitchen located in Glendale. It is efficient, and they bring it outside to you when it's ready. There was enough parking in the parking lot when I picked up on the weekend.

    III Mas Bakery & Deli is a ghost kitchen in Glendale offering takeout-only. I tried their sandwich with incredibly soft pita, smoked brisket, cheese, pickles, and a deliciously spicy Armenian sauce. The sauce was fantastic but surprisingly spicy, overpowering the smoky brisket flavor. Despite that, it was still tasty enough that I'm looking forward to trying their Mortadella sandwich next time. Check it out if you're a fan of bold, spicy, unique flavors.

    Brisket sandwich
    Andrew I.

    This was my first ghost kitchen experience and I was impressed. The brisket sandwich is the star of show. The bread is fluffy and provides a middle eastern unique twist. The brisket falls apart and the flavor by itself is amazing. The sauce is good, could be a bit more spicer for my tasting. The pickles provide a nice crunch to counter the melt in your mouth brisket. Of course being a middle eastern I had to try the lahmajoun, it did not disappoint. Reminds you of home with the spices that pop every bite. Make sure you order online about 10-15min before you arrive, call when you get there and they will bring it to you when you are waiting. I will for sure comeback to this spot, add it to your list

    First time patron of Asteria, and I must say this place blew every other Mediterranean restaurant…read moreI've tried out of the water. We made reservations just in case there'd be a wait on a Friday evening, but surprisingly the restaurant wasn't busy, a shame for them, but something we were grateful for. We ordered the baba ghanoush right away because I was absolutely famished, and we were also served a generous plate of hummus with delicious homemade chips on the side. The chips were salty and tangy, which paired perfectly with the hummus. I ordered the chicken breast and luleh combo, while my partner got the filet mignon with tzatziki, and everything was incredible. It was my first time trying chicken luleh and I can confidently say I'm a fan now. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. The rice was cooked perfectly as well. The only thing I would've loved is a side of raw onions, but that's purely personal preference. What really says it all is that the entire meal was eaten mostly in silence and not a single picture was taken, which is completely out of character for me as a foodie. "Camera eats first" absolutely does not apply at this restaurant. The establishment is run by a lovely couple in the kitchen along with one server. It's a quaint little spot that feels warm and personal, and I already have a feeling I'll be coming back often.

    The OG Soup Dumpling: Why Khinkali House is Glendale's Best Kept Secret…read more Let's get one thing straight: if you think the "soup dumpling" started with a two-hour wait outside a Din Tai Fung, you're about 600 years late to the party. While the culinary world is currently obsessed with the delicate, bite-sized Xiao Long Bao--which didn't even show up until the 1870s in Shanghai--the Georgians have been perfecting this craft since the 13th-century Mongol invasions. Khinkali is the OG. It's the rugged, fist-sized ancestor that doesn't need a bamboo steamer basket or a delicate, nervous touch. It's a meal that requires soul, a bit of primitive technique, and a complete disregard for your clean shirt. Tucked away on Artsakh Avenue, Khinkali House is where you go to pay your respects to this ancient culinary titan. Atmosphere and the Art of the Rainy Day I happened to drop in on a rare, miserable rainy day in Glendale, and let me tell you, sitting out in their roomy, covered patio area while the water drummed against the roof was pure atmospheric gold. It's the kind of setting that demands heavy, unapologetic comfort food. The service here is sharp, warm, and attentive--the kind of old-school hospitality that makes you feel like a regular before you've even opened the menu. The Opening Act: Borscht with Soul You don't just jump into a pile of massive dumplings. You have to prepare the palate. I started with a bowl of their Borscht, and it was exquisite. It arrived as a deep, vibrant crimson pool of beet-infused soul, swimming with tender beef, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. It was earthy, slightly sweet, and served at a temperature that could ward off any chill in your bones. It's the kind of bowl that tells you immediately that this kitchen isn't just following a recipe; they're honoring a bloodline. The Main Event: The Four Pillars of Khinkali Then came the heavy hitters. Unlike the thin-skinned, elegant Xiao Long Bao, Khinkali is built for battle. It's a massive, boiled parcel with a thick, satisfyingly chewy dough gathered at the top into a sturdy little knot or "handle" (the kudi). You don't eat the handle--you use it to hoist the beast, bite a small hole in the side, aggressively slurp out the liquid gold trapped inside, and then devour the rest. I worked my way through all four flavors, and each was a masterclass in balance: Ground Beef & Pork: The classic heavyweight. The moment you pierce the dough, a rich, heavily spiced, aggressively savory broth floods your spoon. The meat is fatty in all the right ways, laced with herbs that cut through the richness. It is purely addictive. Lamb: A masterclass in bold, unapologetic flavor. The lamb adds a deeply gamey, sophisticated depth that grounds the entire dish. As it boils, the rendered fat mixes with the internal cooking liquids inside that thick doughy cavern to create a broth that is darker, earthier, and aggressively flavorful. It's a heavy, soulful revelation that hits you right in the chest. Mushroom: Often treated as a vegetarian afterthought in other places, here it's a star. It hits you with a massive wave of umami. The mushrooms are tender and earthy, producing a fragrant, woodsy liqueur inside the dumpling that makes you realize you don't need meat to create a complex masterpiece. Georgian Cheese (The Undisputed Champion): I'm just going to say it--this was my absolute favorite. It is an exercise in pure, primal decadence. Instead of a meat broth, biting into this unleashes a molten, gooey river of tangy, salty Georgian cheese. It pulls, it stretches, and the sharp, slightly funky bite of the cheese against the warm, thick dough is a spiritual experience. I could eat ten of these and die happy. The Return Trip The tragedy of Khinkali House is that the dumplings are so filling, you have to leave the rest of the menu unexplored. But I am already plotting my return. Next time, I'm coming back for the Adjarskiy Khachapuri--that famous Georgian boat-shaped bread loaded with melted cheese and crowned with a fresh egg yolk and a pat of butter. I also have my eye on the Zhengyalov Hatz (a traditional Armenian herb-filled flatbread), and the wildly intriguing Osetrina (Sturgeon) Skewer, which you just don't see every day. The Verdict: Respect the Elders Let's cut the noise. Xiao Long Bao is great for a polite, light lunch, but Khinkali is for when you want to feel something real. Khinkali House has managed to bring a 13th-century mountain staple to a Glendale patio and make it feel like the most relevant thing on the street. It's bold, it's historical, and it's flat-out delicious. If you want to experience the true evolution of the dumpling, get yourself to Khinkali House. Grab a handle, watch the rain, and eat like a Georgian highlander. You can thank me later.

    Food was good and our server was nice, but I was honestly confused and disappointed with the way…read moregratuity/tips were handled. We were 4 adults and 1 child, and an automatic 18% gratuity was already included in the bill. However, on the receipt the section saying "tips not included" was circled, which made it seem like gratuity had NOT been added yet. Because of that confusion, I ended up leaving an additional cash tip. I understand restaurants may add gratuity automatically for larger groups, but if gratuity is already included, the receipt and staff should make that clear instead of circling "tips not included." It creates unnecessary confusion for customers. Also, automatically adding gratuity regardless of service feels questionable. Thankfully our server was kind, but if service had been poor, customers should still feel they have a choice regarding tipping.

When we first walked into the restaurant we thought we were the only patrons, then we found out the host just likes to seat people in the private booths which are separated from the main dining room by straw dividers. I read on the other reviews that they thought the server was not very nice, however my experience was the opposite - she provided helpful input when we asked for advices on the cuisine, and even recommended us to try the khinkali with sour cream which she provided and didn't have to. On to the food - we ordered the eggplant appetizer, it's similar to baba ghanouj but this one is a bit spicier and so yummy with the bread that came with it. We also ordered khinkali which is Georgian's version dumplings (we ordered the boiled version but there's also fried ones available). The skin is on the thicker side and was very chewy, the filling was well spiced with herbs, when you cut into it the juices come flowing out, yum! Our fav dish was the chimeruli which is baked hen drenched in a garlicky cream sauce that was more of a soup to me and i could not stop drinking it down! The hen was roasted so nicely with crispy skin, and along with the sauce just made the whole dish so hearty. Things are on the pricier side but I would still definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who's adventurous in trying different cuisines. It was interesting to note that they had two menus, one for Georgian foods, and the other for Armenian foods. Btw the restaurant charges a "non cash fee" for all non cash payments.
