Beware and stay away! And don't give them your credit card! Someone stole my credit card elsewhere and this restaurant charged $3400 on my credit card through their merchant account. The owners must be working with criminals. I'm not the only victim. There are others if you read this restaurant's Google review. read more

One of the best restaurants in the valley with great tasting food. The service was great and Sam was very nice and helpful. I would definitely go back and recommend anyone to go eat here without hesitation. 5 stars in my book ! read more

Terrible unreliable banquet hall. This place is run by money hungry individuals. I booked the hall for my wedding reception 3 months ago. They made me leave a deposit and signed contract, everything seem fine. Fast forward to last Friday I get a call from the event planner that the hall was going to be closing on my wedding day. I needed to pick up my deposit and a stupid apology followed.My event is in 4 weeks and this complete idiots wanted to switch my event day to Sunday instead of Saturday . I explained to them that my wedding invitations were already send out all they had to say was I'm sorry my boss is closing that day. Please save your self the stress and embarrassment of having to explain to your guest all this. They are very unprofessional, I am sure the only reason they cancel on me was because someone else offer them more money to book on my day. read more

Great place. Beef and Chicken Lula's are my favorite. The humms with pita is super tastey too.

This restaurant is one of my favorites because of its excellent food and homey atmosphere. We have so many good memories connected to this place, birthday parties, graduation, milestone celebrations and just family get together with good homemade food. The place is cozy, nicely decorated and has life music and a dj. Owners are just awesome people who are ready to accommodate all your wishes regarding the food and decorations. It's priced well and I would strongly recommend this place for all little parties or just hang out with nice food good music and ambience. read more

I have no idea why this place isn't packed all the time... The food is really good, it's fresh, it's healthy, and there is lots of it. The place is clean, and the staff if friendly. I always make it a point to eat there when I'm in the hood. It's kinda hidden away in a little strip mall, and maybe the parking is kinda tough. read more

We went there for dinner tonight my friend and I; I had the Cornish Hens with salad and Babaganough. It was delicious! The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable! I highly recommend that Armenian restaurant, although they seem to be more ideal for big groups and/ or big events! read more

Noahs Ark Banquet Hall - Delicious BBQ. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Called in a lunch order since I literally work across the street. I came to pick it up at the estimated 15 minutes, and I did not even know they were open. All the doors were closed, and no one in the restaurant. I actually had to go into the kitchen and find someone to help me with my food. Waited for him to get the person in charge of the register, who then gave me a hard time for not having cash on hand. I then signed the receipt, and was handed the food by the cook, who smelled heavily of cigarettes, not very appetizing. The food had no flavor, and was covered in grease. I threw the majority of it away. Needless to say, don't go here. Seems like you need to be friends or family of the staff to get good food/service. read more

The food here is absolutely delicious and made with love!! The owners are very friendly and provide outstanding customer service. Today I called last minute and spoke with Vahagn the owner at 6:30 pm and was able to order dinner for 8:00 for my family!! My family absolutely loved the food. Very high quality and good variety. Will be a customer. Thank you so much Noah's Ark!! read more

So if you just want to have a random casual night with friends and eat drink dance and hangout- you can have a fun night at this place. It has plenty of parking around and the crew is really warm and welcoming. I definitely recommend to the neighbors to come out their homes after work and explore what's down the street and possibly get to know more neighbors. The place respects the neighborhood and it's never too loud for us who lives near by. I'll go there anytime I'm around and in a mood for a fun night including food. . . And also drinking and NOT driving after since I live down the street. There is a clean restroom inside and that says a lot about the place. It's open until 2am I think... hopefully soon it'll be legal to serve alcohol until 4am read more

I think there may been a situation where most of the bad reviews here were taken down. The reviews were SO BAD that it should have been a comedic blog. I went purely because the reviews sounded ridiculous. So my friend and I went there for lunch, we walked inside and it was completely empty. No customers, no staff, it was all unlocked and on but totally abandoned. We walked around and even went into the kitchen. Nobody there... After a few minutes we left and decided to go somewhere else for lunch. read more

Walked in to an empty restaurant and was alittle skeptic. But as soon as I sunk my teeth in a juicy tender chick kabob, I was like why is this restaurant empty? or maybe I was lucky to find a gem. It reminded me of a Greek or European restaurant with a cross of Middle East food and Armenian food. The food was good. The chicken came with fresh hummus and pita, salad and rice all under $10 bucks. I am lucky to have this down the street from my house. read more

We went there for a baby shower. Nice ambience...I think I only saw one worker there....the food was intensely bad. Very disappointed at the level of service and package of food that was served. read more

I had my daughter quincenera there. Not only was the whole tranaction smooth, the dj, servers, cook and host were pleasent and super nice. The food was awesome. I am now going use them for my 25th wedding anniversary. I recommend this place for your party venue. read more

So bad I had to write. Noah's Ark should go down in a flood. I ordered through Grub Hub for delivery. I'd seen the restaurant's cute exterior a thousand times and thought I'd give it a try. One of the worst. Don't bother giving it a try. Hummus with no pita. No pita?! WTF. Where was the eggplant dish I ordered? No where in the bag. Rancid limp lettuce lined the dry chicken shawarma sandwich. Yuck. Flaccid undercooked French fries barely browned. I specifically had requested the fries be "well done." Bummer. Big Bummer! The cheese in a pastry puff was actually fried cheese in a egg roll wrap. Cheese was off-tasting and it didn't pair well with egg roll. Armenian soup. I finally have a reason to say "gag me with a spoon." The smell, the appearance... Inedible. So I called the restaurant to inform them of their failure to please me. You know what I was told. "I don't do deliveries." I replied,"Well deliver this, your food is terrible." For some reason I didn't want to be rude & say "your food sucks" but that's what I thought. read more

Before ordering i checked YELP reviews and it seems some people who marked one or two stars were out of touch.I ordered food for my kids birthday party for $12 per person and got 2 kinds of BBQ,2 kinds of kabob with huge plate of rice and potatoes and 6 kinds of salad of my choice. We still have left overs after the party. The owner put more food that i was expected. The food and salads were so delicious that most of my guests asked the phone number of that place. I will definitely recommend this place if you want to get a good food with a good price!!! The owner is very polite and honest. read more

Thank you Noah's Ark for your wonderful food, great service and a wonderful set up for my party of 90 people! Highly recommended!

I have lived in the area for over 15 years and finally decided to try Noah's Ark last night. I had the chicken shish kebab and my partner had the filet minon kebab and we both had a Greek salad. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was the best chicken I have ever had. I will definitely be going back. read more

I drove over to the restaurant to just grab some take out. with my roommate. One lamb kebab plate - 8.99 , a chicken kebab plate - 6.99 and a side of hummus - 3.99. the waitress and manager seemed to discuss this for a minute, and then told us it was 35.00. We then very politely said that we think it should only be around... 20 dollars. The manager than began to very rudely scream at the waitress for a minute before she finally turned around with a look of sincere embarrassment and apology. She then informed us that the extra 15 dollars was for tax. Yeah. You, my dear waitress, can do better. And you Mr. Manager, I may not speak Armenian, but asshole is the universal language. read more

It's a good place. tasty and fresh food. very good service. a large selection of snacks for every taste.

Attended here for my friends daughters sweet 15th. Awesome place! Very fancy and stylish hall. Great for small parties. The servers are very friendly and helpful. Food was great! read more

Every time I order items from here they come in varying quantities. Sometimes you'll order one of something, the next day you'll order two of it and get the same amount. When you contact the people who run this establishment they'll say your previous order was incorrect and they gave you "two of the item in one container." The first time I ordered their Kinkale I got an aluminum dish full, the second time I got a Styrofoam container full with sour cream, the third time I ordered two orders and only got an aluminum dish full, and the fourth and final time I'll order out here I got an aluminum dish half full with larger than previous sized kinkales and no sour cream. This establishment is inconsistent and seems as though the management doesn't expect repeat customers, so I will cease ordering from them. read more

Honestly I don't know why there are a few bad reviews on here ,, I am a regular here and the food is amazing!! I've had family functions here ( birthdays , christenings ) and there service and food was amazing , if you're lucky to catch a live singer here too it makes the experience that much better, one of the best Armenian restaurants in the LA area . The chef/owner prepares all the food from scratch, you can't get more authentic than that! Five stars . read more

We had a family gathering at this restaurant last week.... I really respect the owners extremely hard working people and I have to say the service and the food is awesome... read more

I had my wedding reception here on May 06,2017 I can honestly say This place is really nice to have ur reception or parties here I loved the painting and the chandelier and the lighting there is very beautiful. Also the place was very clean.Very spacious and enough room for everything. I can not pronounce her name but The lady there was very helpful and really nice and sweet.I was really glad that she was there and help with everything we needed.Annie is the person we spoke to she is so nice and a person of her word .My guest loved the place and had a good time at my wedding the only mistake was that I should of gotten my catering here because The caters I got sucked very bad,I'm pretty sure there food would of been delicious maybe for next time . Thanks Annie read more

We were taken to to this lil gem and it was really good ! the facility very nice and not crowded or dark. I tried many things Lulu Kebob,Chicken Kebob,salad,rice,toasted peppers and Tahini and nothing was a dissappointment. So if you are in that area or just traveling through, it's well worth your time and the cost is excellent for what you get ! read more

I have had my share of Mediterranean food, so I think I have an idea of what good food is. This place is kind of creepy, dark (I went around 3 pm on a weekday) and seemed like it might be a meeting place for certain individuals, but the staff was nice and they were very accomodating. Although all the tables sat at least 6, the guy arranged a single table for just me as I was alone. I had the lamb shish kabob, which was mispelled on the menu. It didn't take too long to get the plate, but the sides were some pickled veggies, a potato salad deal, and alot of pitas. No hummus though..All the sides were good, and I don't even like potatoes. The meat was delicious, tender, hot and tasty. The rice was hot and buttery, all of which was to my delight. I think I continue to work in the LA/Encino area just to be close to this place. Definitely need to bring the bf to this place. Because they have eastern euro news playing in the background in the day so it was really authentic! read more

Fantastic food, fantastic service, very well priced! Highly recommended. I can still taste the Kebob =]

I like BBQ in in this restaurant and fish , you can enjoy the Russian songs, this is nice relaxing place !!

Great food, great service and SUPER convenient location. Your crowd will not go hungry. Enjoyed the party with awesome services along with the tasteful food. Two Thumbs Up !! read more

My friends and I ordered from grubhub. The pilaf was undercooked and the butter tasted filmy. The hummus was watery and tasteless. The kebabs (we ordered chicken and beef) were salty and smelled off. Kinda disappointing =\ read more

Best food ever! I feel like a brand new me again. If god ask me for one meal I would come here.
