    This place is a gem inside the Glendale Galleria. They have good food, good service. Staff were efficient. Very patient with the needs of their patrons. People come and go, busy area, but they manage. Servers give ur food with a smiLe, giving all to your requests, plates utensils, cup for water and so on. Everytime, i visit the mall, i always have my food here. Meat was well prepared, and portions are shareable . Been to other kabob place in the area, including the well known ones, but they have this distinct flavor in their meats. I always end up going to this place, no matter how busy.

    I've been going to Massis Kabob at The Glendale Galleria for as long as I can remember. Not surprising, I just found out that this location has been there since 1976. I mean, if there's a constant in The Glendale Galleria Food Court, it's definitely Massis. (Panda Express & Hot Dog on a Stick are givens since they're mall standards all around the area). The great thing is that you're getting real, very minimally processed food that you can see cooked right in front of you. FOOD: #20 - Chicken Kabob & Beef Koubideh ($18.95 + tax) - 8.7 / 10 A really great choice if you want a "sampler" of what they have to offer. It's a pretty safe choice (who doesn't like chicken & beef? The generously sizable pieces of chicken breast are always, juicy & tender. Grilling over an open spitfire really allows the natural juices to come through. The beef koubideh is like eating tender piece of hamburger meat in the shape of a long sausage link. All served on a generous bed of basmati rice. The single roasted tomato & roasted jalapeño pepper are the perfect accompaniments. This meal comes with a choice of side. I always opt for their hummus because it's perfect for dipping the accompanying pieces of warm pita bread. I highly recommend downloading their app so that you can build-up rewards. (100 Rewards Points get you $5 off. $1 spent = 1 Rewards Point). One thing that I also like about this place is that you can be notified via text that your order is ready - a nice little perk if you don't want to hover around the pick-up area like an annoying vulture (let the staff do their thing), or if you'd like to sit down / check-out other food court spots while waiting.

    #12B Persian Koubideh Chicken

    I tried out this Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food spot at the Glendale Galleria and the quality is what you'd expect from a mall food court. I ordered the Persian Koubideh Chicken plate and it was decent, but could've been better. The Chicken Koubideh was standard, but felt and tasted like something from a frozen meal packet, not freshly cooked even though it looked like the meats were being freshly cooked. The rice to meat ratio was a lot which was common with these types of places. However, the rice was a bit dry. The tomato and pepper were cooked perfectly, so no complaints there. Finally, the cucumber salad was good and provided a fresh and crunchy element to the meal. I do wish that there was some sort of complimentary creamy sauce to pair with the meal since it was overall dry. They did give me some hot sauce upon request which helped, but a creamy sauce would've been better. The food was priced petty good and with tax it was about $15 which wasn't bad compared to the amount of food you get. However, I wish there was more meat. The staff were pretty nice and collected despite a heavy influx of orders. Overall, the experience here could've been better. If I were to visit this food court again, I would opt for other choices.

    I got the Steak and rice plate. It was very fresh and filling! I appreciated the quickness and great service! The meat tasted really good with a side of hummus and the sides are big so you should get a small! The pita bread was solid but would've preferred pita chips! Would go back for sure! Decently priced as well!

    It's alright. I had the beef and lamb and honestly it wasn't very well spiced. A bit bland. The cooking was fine but I would have preferred more seasonings. The rice was tasty and I did really like the Shirazi salad that comes with it. But overall I wasn't too impressed.

    First time trying this in Glendale but I've had it before at another location. Always delicious everywhere I've tried them. My favorite is the chicken kabob with rice, hummus, mixed salad. I definitely recommend if you haven't tried! The service is good. The ambiance is fast food style, You order and wait to pick it up. It's located inside the galleria in the food court area. There are places to sit down and eat.

    I really love Mediterranean food. It's very delicious. The meat, ground beef, and vegetables are always fresh. It smells amazing. The portion is large, and the price is very affordable, only 16 dollars for a big plate. I highly recommend it to everyone.

    everything was perfect The food is very tasty, fresh, the service is excellent and very friendly. I really like coming here and come often.

    A Big Bright Beautiful and CLEAN location in the heart of Downtown Glendale, Ca. State of the Art facility. A lot of Menu Choices. Super Fast Service. Very attentive floor staff. The place exudes Quality with a Minimalist touch. The Food is the Star! Absolutely delicious and natural tasting, not a lot of Salt. The setting is Gorgeous to compliment the Food and the experience. Bravo! Well Done. I will be Back!!!

    Well I had to stop by the Glendale Galleria to drop off something at a friend's s store. And thought I'd rather get some food before I had to sit in an hour of traffic on way home. How about some Persian food. Walk up to the counter where there are at least six people standing around, not serving, not plating. Just sort of hanging. Well are you going to help me? Wait for even a hello. Was about to go somewhere else when finally they ask for my order. I should have taken that as a sign. Because the food was also very mid. Considering that this is the valley where there are plenty of excellent Persian restaurants this place should have been on point but it was not and I will not be coming back

    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.

    My group and I ordered the family style meal for $40 per person (tip and tax about $50 per person)…read more This was an amazing decision because we got to try a bit of everything and there was so much food, we couldn't finish it all. Very delicious and worth the price! The restaurant was spacious, clean, and luxurious.

Turmeric Braised Chicken - The dish was a bit on the basic end, not a lot of seasoning but you could taste the tumeric. Chicken was tender but slightly on the drier side which was a bit surprising considering it was dark meat (6.5/10) Kofteh Tabrizi - The tomato taste was prominent in the broth but the meatball itself was overly salty. The flavor was one note, I can't see myself ordering this again as I've heard this dish should have more complex flavors so I was disappointed (5.5/10) Kotlet Plate - As you can see from my picture, the kotlet was burnt beyond repair and I could taste the bitterness from the overused oil they used to fry it. I did like the yogurt spread and the pickles that came with it but I did not like the kotlet at all. We didn't bother asking them to replace it (4/10) Mirza Ghasemi w/ Barbari bread - The star of this whole experience was the Mirza Ghasemi, the roasted eggplant and tomato spread came cold and it was the most delicious thing we had. One of my friends vacuumed it right up before the rest of us could have seconds. Bread was a bit dry but it was a great vehicle for the Mirza (8.5/10) Lamb Gheimeh - Lamb was tender and it had some nice spices infused in there but it didn't wow me in any way (7/10) Sholezard - Our waitress brought over some complimentary Ceylon tea with the Sholezard which was kind. This rice dessert was not too sweet. The warmth and saffron ended our meal in a comforting way. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again (7/10) +1 star for the service
