    Chicken shish kabob
    Terry P.

    Cannot recommend.. This did not meet any of my expectations. I usually order a little bit from a restaurant I've never been to, damn me for not doing so here! I ordered too much!!! Too much unworthy food! Pictures and reviews from others suggested it would be good, but nope! I've ate at lots of other restaurants of similar, and nothing is like this, rather bland and uneventful. The chicken shish kebab was dry, and not much flavor. The pork ribs were decent. The ribeye steak was not the best. Considering that they state they use Harris Ranch, man I expected a great steak! Uneven cook on it too. I ordered a side onion, wth did they give me, a burnt onion?! Their sumac onions were not made right! Throwing some seasoning on some onions does not make it sumac onions! Things that were right? The roasted tomato, the roasted jalapeño. Possibly the hummus, as I quite liked the consistency and flavor. Wished the food was better. I don't understand their rating. Located right next to the popular and famous Paradise Bakery too.

    First time here and I really liked the concept. It's pretty cool that you can order both cooked and raw meat, with the option to get a platter as well. There were lots of side options to choose from, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The service was great too. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely come back.

    First time visiting this restaurant and I LOVED it!!! The lamb chops melted in my mouth and everything else I ordered was just amazing!! I even ordered food to go! And will continue to come here. The service was just beyond, super friendly and always checking up to see if we were ok with everything. Thank you for the amazing service and delicious food.

    Found this place off of Facebook and heard many great things about it, really wanted to try it out. We didn't sit down inside the restaurant, but we got our foods to go. My expectations were quite high, especially how many good reviews this place had. Honestly overall, the food was okay and didn't truly blow my mind. The food was very fair priced, maybe that's what truly attracts people.

    Was just here and the food was great. Chicken came out hot and fresh. And service was good too. Cashier was nice and man who brought food to my table came and check on me and asked how everything was. Definitely recommend

    A friend invited me to this place in Glendale CA. Arminian cuisine was divine. This place is a must if you're in the area.

The casual atmosphere out front and the lunch special banner lead us to believe we'd be having a cheaper dinner. We were ushered into a beautiful outdoor patio dining area, greeted by very friendly staff and supplied with carefully selected table settings. The environment was charming and relaxing. The menu was large and varied. We settled on a few things to try and wished we could have ordered more. The Greek salad was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh, the flavors were perfectly balanced. The chicken breast kabob plate was so generous in its portions, the chicken skewers were huge. The rice was wonderful as was everything else. We also got the egg boat to share and the bread was incredible. We definitely want to go back and try other wood fired items there. I'm sure the pizza is wonderful if it uses the same bread. Pricing on everything was very reasonable considering all the factors. I definitely got the impression that this is run with love by a family. They were friendly and kind, and their love of food showed in every bite. Their pride in their endeavor showed in all of the little touches in creating a nice atmosphere. We will be back

The pork BBQ was the best meat we had, followed closely by the lamb chops. The chicken breast was very good but lost out in a tough competition. We added Fries which are slices of potatoes, not French fries. They were not greasy and seasoned very nicely. And we had the Adjarian Khachapouri again, because we could not pass up this mouth watering delight. A sumptuous mix of bread, cheese , egg and spices. Add in a clean patio for dining, a friendly and attentive owner, and it is not to be missed.

This restaurant is an Armenian/Georgian/Eastern European style eatery. I was there yesterday around 4:15pm. As I was about to walk in, Gayane with a pleasant smile wanted to know if I wanted to eat in or order food to go. I told her I would like to sit on the patio, soak up the sun and the beautiful weather. She brought me a menu and looking at the menu which had a lot of entreés to choose from, I decided to go with their 5x Large Khinkali with ground beef that was topped and garnished with fresh cilantro & pomegranate. I also ordered 1x Large Blinchik (stuffed with Meat) & 1x large Chicken BBQ Wrap that came with a side of tomato sauce. The Chicken Wrap was toasted very well and inside were a lot of healthy vegetables: Mayo, Ketchup, Raw Onions, Pickles, Cilantro, Lettuce & tomato. All the fine dishes tasted divine, flavorful and very fresh!! I also wanted to try couple of their fruit juices and the Mikado dessert, but she told me they were out. It's ok, there will definitely be a next time because I am planning to return back next time I am in Glendale. For one person it was a lot of food. Total came out to be $57.38. Didn't make or break the bank. Was very content & happy with my dining experience!! Comfortable setting and had some left overs too.. Street parking only, bright BIG, clean gender neutral restroom and would like to thank Gayane, Evgenii, and Paapaiii BBQ for an outstanding/fantastic service!!:-))
