    Chicken breast kebab plate
    Shelby P.

    Came for lunch with my dad and was immediately seated. Very clean inside the restaurant and we were served immediately. There was a great selection available. Food was very fresh and we will definitely order from here again.

    The chicken thigh shish kebab plate
    Monte L.

    I've been going here for nearly ten years and it's one of the most consistent restaurants I've been to. Easy five star spot. I've had so many items off the menu and the Tadig is one of my favorites. It's a crunchy rice dish that is topped off by a strew and surrounded by fluffy rice. The crunchy rice is about a half inch thick. It is super crunchy, chewy, and soon to one of your favorite meals. It is topped off by a hot stew that gives you a variety of textures and flavors that leave a party in your mouth you'll want to attend regularly. Not pictured is another one of my favorites and that's the Persian baba ganoush. I love this because the eggplant is warm and soft and it's topped off with crunchy fried onions and a yogurt sauce--not your traditional baba ganoush. I highly recommend trying the Tadig and Persian baba ganoush. Then there are their shish kebab plates which are all killer and no filler. Pictured is the chicken thigh, which is juicy and packed with flavor, but I would recommend trying the salmon because it is so soft with a crunchy skin and I am always shocked that everything always tastes the same as it has for nearly ten years. The ambiance is friendly and the place is clean. The wait staff is always friendly and attentive, and I always satisfied with everything I've experienced while there. They have a free parking lot in the back, btw. The prices are pretty fair, the bathrooms are clean, and there's a guy there on the weekends that plays the keyboard and sings--it's not loud, so it doesn't disrupt the ambiance. I believe this spot is worth your time and hard earned $.

    This has become my new favorite place! Service is great, and the food is always amazing!! Comfort food at its best. When I'm craving a delicious meal that I KNOW will be amazing this is my go-to. Large portions so you'll always leave with leftovers, my favorite :)

    Meat that is not lamb!

    It was disgusting! I will never go there again And they're rude . Sad because it used to be a very nice restaurant not anymore.

    Order as it arrived

    Super disappointed that they are charging $30+ for the lamb shank when it's now apparently a third of the size it used to be. Unfortunate, since this has always been one of my favorite local restaurants.

    From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels upscale and inviting--dim lighting, clean decor, and smooth jazz playing softly in the background set the perfect mood. I especially loved the window seating--it added a cozy yet refined touch to the overall experience. I ordered the chicken and beef kabob rice plate, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. The barley soup was a comforting starter; I added a touch of salt to suit my taste, and it warmed me right up. The fresh, warm pita bread was the perfect accompaniment--soft, pillowy, and satisfying. The service was excellent--attentive, kind, and thoughtful. From start to finish, it was a wonderful dining experience that I'll definitely return for.

    I think the inside of the restaurant could be more cozy but I normally get food to go. It's been very good lately. Lots of food, so tasty!The ladies are always nice.

    Food is so delicious don't eat your finger. And also it's so quiet place. I take all my friends and they're like it.

    Chicken thighs and don't forget the hummus was so much food and the price was great

    Vegetarian Combo Plate
    Mike P.

    Looking for middle eastern fare in the Glendale area of La Crescenta? This spot on Foothill Blvd is a great little place to fill your tummy. Portions are monstrous and at a great price. Certainly enough food to have two meals. Typically a quiet place and could be considered romantic if you can get a table by the front window. Service is good and attentive. Many to go orders come through here, so it may be a good place to order food on your way home from work. The food was tasty and well prepared, and enjoyable dining experience.

    Their portion size was enormous. I ordered the beef Kabob and chicken kabob and that could have very well feed two people happily.

    Do they also have a restaurant in Upland? I love this place but hope there's one closer to my place.

    No they don't.

    Food is good but music sucks?

    I was always charmed by the musician they had playing, but ... that' may be just me.
