JAAAAN Restaurant is a vibrant, high-energy venue that blends Mediterranean and Armenian flavors with a strong nightlife vibe. This is not a quiet dining spot -- it's a place designed for celebrations, group gatherings, and late evenings filled with music and movement. The menu offers familiar Mediterranean and Armenian dishes that pair well with cocktails, making the food a solid complement to the overall experience rather than the main focus. Everything is well-prepared and enjoyable, especially in a social, party-style setting. Live music and DJ performances are a big part of the atmosphere, creating a lively, club-like energy that picks up as the night goes on. The space works best for birthdays, events, or nights out with friends who want dinner to turn into a celebration. JAAAAN Restaurant is a great choice if you're looking for good food, drinks, and a fun, upbeat environment where music and energy take center stage. read more

I have been to three parties at JAAAAAN over the last 2 years, and 2 out of the 3 were parties that my family hosted. We have had wonderful experiences all 3 times. The music is wonderful. They have a DJ and live entertainment. The food is really good, especially the seafood options in my opinion. It's a great spot to do a birthday party or another celebration like a graduation. You can do a smaller party, or a bigger party where you rent out the entire venue, it just depends on their availability. The most recent time we did an event was a Friday in November and it was very nice because it wasnt as packed as the other times we went and we could easily move around. The other two times it was insanely packed and we could really get up from our seats ans rhe dance floor was packed. I will say when it is packed they bring out multiple live singers, some pretty well known Armenian singers. On the most recent visit there was only one live entertainer that came out around 10:00pm, the rest of the time it was the DJ. I highly recommend this spot for occasions like milestone birthdays or graduation parties. Not big enough for a wedding unless you are looking to do something on a smaller scale. Reservations highly recommended for big big parties or on weekends. They also have different packages for food options to include certain add-ons. read more

I have hosted A LOT of parties throughout my life and have given the venues a deposit to hold the date and paid my balance after the event with no issues. What I found surprising and silly is the fact this establishment taxes you on the DEPOSIT! I sent a $200 deposit and he asked for an additional $20 as well and when I questioned it, the owner said he has to pay tax on that $200. Lucky me he did not ask for $2 to pay for the additional $20 he also has to pay tax on.... If a place is this stingy and tight, I cannot imagine what they do with their leftovers. read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN LA!!! Very delicious food everything was Fresh and professional served . Dj is also very professional i highly recommend this place read more

Best experience we have had in a really long time. Of course it starts off with amazing appetizers and then come the tastiest dishes you can probably imagine. This place was definitely a 5 star cuisine. I tried everything and was absolutely stuffed but then the dj started and I did not sit for one minute. The dj knew exactly what music to play to get us on our feet. Overall this place was amazing can't wait to try again. read more

Food was typical Armenian from Armenia. Service person was excellent. Environ was very pleasant. Too many flashes of lights though! A lot of wasted food, ie they served tooooo much! That should not happen! read more

Amazing place ! Had my birthday party. Jaaaaan Restaurant made it unforgettable! The staff was great ! The food very delicious! I would really come back and I would recommend obviously. The Dj and live performance made it a cherry on top !!! Triple AAA. read more

We had a great time recently. Amazing place with great musics and food . Definitely will go back.

Despite cheesy name, the food was a tually great. Ishli qyufta and filet mignon wete perfect, kebabs were a bit dry but still 8/10. Pricing and the speed of service were putstanding too, considering there was a birthday party going on. read more

We were guests to a birthday party at Jaaaaan and had a good time. It's a good place to celebrate special occasions since you can reserve for large groups but not necessarily the whole venue. You basically reserve according to number of guests you will have. In our party it was set up for about 30 guests. The food is served family style. Appetizers and mezzes are on the table when you arrive. Then they bring the hot food items such as bbq, rice, fish etc .... Most of the mezzes and appetizers were delicious so was the fish with veggies. The bbq was not that good, specially the chicken. The service was attentive and friendly. The entertaining was nice. Mostly DJ but also an Armenian singer that was a great performer. Everyone was up and dancing..... I noticed there was hookah being served on the patio area so if you are into hookah and dinner this can be a nice spot for you. They serve alcohol as well. .... read more

JAAAAAN RESTAURANT - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I made a reservation for Easter and called THREE times to confirm the details. Each time, I was told it was "Arabic Night" and $100 per person fine. No one ever mentioned that the entire place would be filled with cigar and hookah smoke. My family arrived before I did and called me in a panic apparently the whole restaurant was a smoke cloud. CIGARS. HOOKAH. Indoors. When I spoke to the manager (who claimed she had talked to me before), she suddenly swore she told me there would be hookah. That never happened. Just "Arabic Night." What, are we supposed to automatically know that means people will be lighting up inside like it's a nightclub? And why would I bring a child and elderly family members with health issues if I had even the slightest clue that smoking was part of the evening? Use common sense. To make it worse, I came across a review where the restaurant claims, "We'd never allow smoking inside." So which is it? are you lying to customers online or just to their faces? As someone who has managed a restaurant before, I'm shocked at how little this team seems to care about guest experience. No accountability, no effort to make things right just a weak "sorry" and pretending it's the customer's fault. You even had the nerve to lie to my family when I wasn't there to defend myself? Pathetic. read more

Atmosphere both inside and on the patio was superb. Food was fresh and surprisingly pretty well priced. I did have an issue with the fact that they charged an automatic 20% gratuity. Had I had an option, I wouldn't have tipped 20% due to an issue I had with a sea bass I ordered but it wasn't a deal breaker. read more

Food was great. Lamb with veggies was what I picked It was ordered and delivered relatively quickly, appreciate the express service. I'd recommend for people to eat at the restaurant, take-out is always a notch below for me. It was not great value, but it was a well thought out menu. For the price, the quality could have been better. Or go to the restaurant for FRESH, OFF THE GRILL food with no service fees. Cant knock them for Yelp's high fees, but I would maybe knock half a star for forgetting utensils. Also no bread with the mutabal/babaganush? I had to use the lamb bones to scoop the side dish :) read more

Food amazing! Music was load but good. Would love to hear more of American Music. Presentation was extremely Beautiful. I would go again.

This place on a Friday night was hopping. Great Armenian singers and atmosphere. Great kebab too! These guys were throwing down like pros. Went for a grad party last week, and had a blast! read more

JAAAAAN RESTAURANT - Dancing - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Such a wonderful restaurant and my party had the best experience! We reserved for a birthday party two weeks in advance, and the manager who assisted us was so kind and helpful! The table was set beautifully and there were a wide array of items from cold to hot appetizers, salads, sauces, and bbq! Everything tasted amazing, especially the Thai beef salad and the pork ribs bbq. Our wait staff was excellent as well and they made sure that we were doing well at all times. The live entertainment and DJ was wonderful as well. We were dancing the night away with all the incredible music that was playing! Choosing this restaurant was the right decision! We will be back for future birthdays! read more

If you happen to pass by Jaaaan don't keep walking though it may look like a banquet facility. This is a hidden gem with amazing food and incredibly kind staff! If you enjoy Armenian food this is the very best!! Definitely 5 stars read more

Oh Forgot to add that they are dishonest too! The managers review is an outright lie. Thank goodness I had witnesses and thank goodness your servers loved us as guests and were very well taken care of. It's a shame you can't acknowledge your customers experience, and feel like you have to lie to make your establishment look better. I could barely hear myself to be able to scream and if I wasn't going to pay, I simply wouldn't. It' that easy, but definitely never acceptable. I will definitely never return, but wish you all the best. read more

If you are looking for a place to celebrate this is it!! The staff is amazing, the owner is an amazing guy, the food is REALLY good, and the music is great. They have 2 singers that come to sing starting Thursday nights and it brought my party together so well. Definitely recommend this place. They also provided a nice open space for my balloons and decorations. I got the $60 /per person package menu and it was enough for 38 guests of ladies. If you have guys in your party I would go with the $85/per person menu option!!Definitely tell the owner you saw Sera's review! check my YouTube channel "SERAVIBES" to see the full detailed rating video of the venue! read more

JAAAAAN RESTAURANT - If you do any sort of confetti's they charge cleaning fee it's stated on their contract. - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Celebrated friend's anniversary at this place. Located In the middle of Glendale, California is this not small nor too big restaurant / Hall where you can enjoy Mediterranean - Armenian restaurant / Hall which is great for large size 15 20+ gatherings. With both Patio and Inside sitting areas this place has all one can ask for a small party. Large enough for the crowd to be comfortable, dancing area, live music (DJ and Live), Good Full menu (Salads, Kabobs, fish, desserts, fresh fruit, coffee ...) Their Fish along with Avocado tomato salad was really good! The music is mostly in Armenian / Russian but i am sure the DJ can accommodate and play different types of music. Another things is their outside patio which is kindda private at night time, i also think they serve Hookah Great for medium to large size gatherings such as, - Birthdays - Anniversary - Bar mitzvah - corporate meetings I honestly didn't pay since we were invited but it is a good value for the service and the food you get. read more

Great service... wonderful atmosphere... Amazing DJ.... Caring and respectful staff!!! Looking forward to the next event!

The owner and manager at this place are extremely rude and unprofessional, making guests feel unwelcome--do yourself a favor and avoid it if you value basic respect and good service. Never returning again. read more

The food was incredible, and the patient service was top-notch. The ambiance was fantastic, with a DJ and colorful lights created a vibrant atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend!!! read more

First time being here, so just couple of pointers. The location of the restaurant is great. The music is good and the food is mediocre, nothing special to remember. I have to mention that the show with the belly dancer added some spark and excitement amongst the guests. There was only two other tables in the restaurant besides ours, so the waiters had barely anything to do, nevertheless we had to pour our own drinks, cause they were never around. We were sitting inside, but I would imagine sitting outside and just enjoying hookah and some drinks would be more fun. read more

Ok let me tell you this: if you want delicious food, amazing atmosphere great service special drinks made by Maria then no words go straight to Jaaaaaan restaurant. The owner Vahan is faaaaantastic and he plays very very big role in his restaurant. Will 100% recommend "tuna tartar" ... I just can't stop eating that appetizer For big parties music and entertainment is great. read more

JAAAAAN RESTAURANT - Tuna tartar - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Recently I was at this place for my birthday party. And I love the location, it has out door and indoor. But they are able to provide an amazing service to both sides. The food was great too, and they have a dj for the weekend too. He is not the best dj but does keep people on the dance floor. This place was clean and nice and they cooperated with our requested. I will also add this that they are a little pricy. Keep your eyes open on what you order either wise your bill will be close to $1000. read more

I have been to this restaurant three times now, one of which was Saturday and there was a live band with beautiful music which reminded me of home. The food was so amazing, especially the Lula kebap. The meat was very soft and tasted delicious and the way they grilled those veggies, well, I need that recipe! I will definitely come back, while making sure if it is one of those nights with the live band. read more
