The chicken, the moutabal and the garlic sauce are definitely the biggest stars at this place (other than the nice lady that works there too!). I was always a Zankou fan but my boyfriend isn't into it, so we had to figure out how to fix my cravings without making him miserable. He suggested trying out this place around the corner from his house and I was kind of skeptical but was willing to give it a try. I'm really glad I did because the chicken is cooked just perfect and is insanely juicy. I love hummus but their moutabal steals the show, so now I just get double orders of it as a side and of course, the garlic sauce (I don't think I need to give it any adjectives because it's just an amazingly glorious GARLIC SAUCE). read more

Worst falafel I've ever tasted! :( All they did was deep-fried few already deep-fried falafel...horrible falafel ever and I've had some bad ones before! read more

Went here for first time a few days ago. Fantastic! Chicken was moist, loved the garlic sauce and the hummus was also delicious. Great prices too! Kind of a no frills place but food is great read more

The woman with short dark hair Armenian was really rude on the phone today. She kept yelling and barked at me to tell her what time id pick up my food. Lady calm down...im only five minutes away. The way she rushed me off the phone you would think there would of been a huge line inside. There wasn't. Although there was a Armenian man who the lady didn't seem to rush. She barely thanked me. Didn't look me im my eyes. Smile . She didn't even let me know the straws were in some weird container on the side of the wall with other utensils. But she seemed to be able to communicate with the armenian gentleman just fine. Rude unprofessional bitch. Hire a better cashier. Someone pretty young and perky. I hate spending my money where people treat me like a dog in the street. read more

Love the chicken,it's supercooked just the way I like it, and also they have decent lunch special with so yummy sides, try their hummus . Value for money that's the way I ll put this place. And the lady in front is so patient and helpful with customers. read more

The customer service and food is great here. It's our go to on weeknights. The kids love the food and so do we. We typically get the value pack and its enough to feed our entire family. They also have great lunch and dinner specials. There's something for everyone here. Give it a try! read more

The woman who takes your order is rude. I guess she doesn't want my business.

Wow!! I've been bragging about my lunch all day!! I have never been impressed with Zankou, I find the customer service repulsive and degrading, the chicken dry, and everything has an indescribable texture that makes me think of artificial preservatives...or bad catering food.. Plus, they switched to prepackaged "garlic sauce" in micro-sized containers that they practically make you beg (and pay) for. ...and regret later when you realize it wasn't as good as you remembered. That said, I stumbled across Sevan today and my chicken/garlic dream has come true!! Everything oozed with freshness!! Their garlic sauce is pure heaven in your mouth. 5 stars. (and they asked me if I wanted a side of it, with out me having to ask or worry about forgetting to ask.) I ordered the "lunch special" 1/4 chicken for 6 dollars and some change. I didn't expect the "special" part to be 2 for 1. ...I was happy to get a quarter chicken and 2 sides for that price! I ended up with 2 quarter chickens and 4 sides, 2 pitas, and 2 garlic sauces. The chicken is crispy, yet moist, and falling off the bone all at the same time. Paired with the pita, side salad, and garlic sauce.. the combination of flavors made me question why anyone choose Sevan's sub par competition. I also surprisingly devoured the french fries. I'm rarely a fan of thick/crinkle cut fries, but these had a good ole' fashion diner taste that reminded me of childhood deep fried goodness. The restaurant is very clean, and has ample/comfortable outdoor seating. No complaints on customer service. Cut to the chase and very efficient! I'm not sure I really need 2 lunches for the price of 1. It would be an amazing deal if I was returning somewhere with a fridge after ...but I appreciate the offer...and immediately called all of my friends after lunch to see if anyone was available to meet me there next week! (note: I'll be ordering an EXTRA garlic sauce next time....and perhaps investing in a Sevan sized cooler for the car.) read more

This place has the worst customer service I have ever seen, we are walking ain before saying a word that Armenian lady rings my up. I told her I wanted the value pack with rice and salad, she turns around and says I already ringed you up and I'm not a mind rider. No lady your a simple cashier who makes minimum wage, and if you could read my mind you wouldn't like what I says to you bitch, and by the way $13:00 bucks for a whole chicken not worth it. I'm never coming back, there places think that are back in Armenia and they can talk to people any way they want. I hope everyone read this review Ann's does not support this kind of customer service..... read more

Definitely won't be back .......I had major food poisoning here today n I know it was them because that's all I ate today. My stomach is still in knots .I don't like how u can't see what's going on in the back of the kitchen. You order, n then u hear no cooking- just a man hands the boxes of food to the cashier ... kinda weird. Who knows how long that chicken or whatever u order was sitting out or how clean it is back there. .. nope no more for me read more

it's decent. good for a weeknight takeout dinner. They do seem to be out of the kabobs often. The chicken is a little on the fatty side.

Good mix of food, that definitely doesn't hurt the wallet. Another close by option for a post LA zoo meal. Since it's a little bit sleepy of spot, they can probably take up to a medium sized group without much of a wait. read more

This place deserves 5 stars. They have a buy one get one free lunch deal and the chicken is so good. How many restaurants offer this deal?!

Lunch special. Pay more for Breast meat and get the garlic sauce. Ask half rice half fries and make a little pita pocket with the ingredients. Then prepare for your new devotion to the almighty Sevan chicken. read more

Horrible customer service and the food tastes like they got it out of the garbage the night before. The chicken is either undercooked or dry. The food has absolutely no flavor at all. Rice is bland. Hummus is awful and they charge you for basic things that should just come with the dish. Their prices also change and vary based off your ethnicity. read more

Always loved the food at Sevan Chicken! Quality is great and consistent; I've been ordering food from here for years and have always preferred it over Zankou because of their sides. I love the grilled veggies in the chicken kabob plate, and I tend to eat this for two meals since I never can finish it. Good portions for the price. I'm a loyal fan. (: read more

Zankou is the best, but this is the healthier choice. Always add a side of garlic sauce.

Fantastic chicken! Great price on the lunch specials too! The owners are friendly and the service is good.

We love this place.. Chicken is very good.. great dinner special buy 2 get 1 free... portions are big.. Staff is super friendly..

Best Rotisserie Chicken ever! I love this place. My kids love it. The Chicken is so hot it falls off the bones. And the rice is simply delicious. Better then Zankou and a better value. The staff here is super friendly. I traveled an hour just to eat here. read more

Upsides: 1) The chicken really is very good; even the breast meat is juicy and flavorful; the chicken luleh is quite nicely seasoned. 2) Prices are low, and there's even a weekday special for two chicken lunches (includes sides, pita, sauce) for $6.00. Sweet. 3) Seems relatively clean. Downsides: 1) Maybe it's just me, but eating in that space is impossible. It combines the aesthetic of an ancient McDonald's + scary cafeteria + police interrogation booth. 2) Service is not at all helpful. If you'd like ordering suggestions, forget it. Formulate what you want to eat first and tip well. 3) It's annoyingly fast-foody... ingredients aren't quality [though with the prices that's expected], sides offered are things like french fries... and there's no range of salads to pick from, no tabbouleh or whatnot, and their hummus/mutabbal is pretty dreadful. read more

They are better than Zankou. The chicken with the moutaball, garlic sauce, pita, and hammous, yummy in my tummy. It's cheap, easy, and fast. During lunch on the weekdays 11 to 4 pm Yuri can get the quarter chicken plate buy one get one free, what a bargain. The chicken is never too dry.they also close at 10 pm, on one occasion we came in at 955 pm and ordered the chicken kabob plate, instead of turning us away, they cooked the kabob for us and stayed open until our food was ready (the cook got mad at the cashier, in their own language, and we felt bad, but we still enjoyed our yummy chicken kabob plate). After we got into our car, we could see the cook scolding the cashier after they locked the door and turned around the "open"sign. This location or the one in tujunga, you can't go wrong. read more

I'm surprised how people seem not to know of Sevan chicken. The chicken is pretty good, but the deals are amazing. The 1/4 chicken deal is one of the best deals here. The deals are definitely worth checking out. read more

Best place to have lunch (or dinner) in town. My favorite thing to get is the lula kebob combo plate with hummus and rice. Their rice is AMAZING! You know the rice is delicious when you can eat it all alone and be satisfied. The staff is also very polite and helpful. All around amazing place with even better food. They also have lots of deals for those who can't afford to pay too much. read more

I was in the area with my wife and she yelped lunch spots and we thought we would give Sevan chicken a try. Wow, the food was amazing! I had the chicken kebob plate and wifey had the 1/4 chicken plate. Both plates came packed with chicken and 2 sides and pita bread and their sauce. All that plus 2 drinks for $20. We found our new chicken place, yay! read more

This place has an amazing lunch deal and they are always consistent. The lady is pretty nice and makes conversations with you. I've been coming here for years now. That garlic sauce is amaze. However, one star knocked off for the shrinking of the size of lunch over the years and also for charging me $2 for a tiny extra thing of pickled beets, which I've never been charged for in the past. read more

Best rotiserrie chicken in LA area! Best chicken and beef kabobs and leaves other middle eastern restaurants behind! Sevan chicken and their awesome garlic sauce...YUM! Have been a customer for 14 years. read more

Love this place, their chicken is out of this world, I am not a fan of humus but the humus here is actually really good.

When it comes to chicken this place beats Zankou, hands down. Not only does it taste better, but it's cheaper and you get a choice of sides. The half chicken dinner is $6.50 after tax, and it's plenty of food for two meals. The service is always fast, and it's never too busy in the early evenings. My only gripe is that it's really more of a take-out place. There's no decor on the inside at all. I imagine eating inside there with some friends might seem a bit...sterile? read more

Absolute favorite grilled chicken place, better than Zankou for sure. Spread some garlic sauce on the chicken, and there you go. Your taste buds will thank you later! read more

Small Armenian restaurant. Salty food. they had really good lamb chops but they stopped serving it :( other then that their chicken is very good. read more

The lunch special is awesome- buy one lunch special, get the second free. They give you lots of chicken and sides. Just make sure you get there before 4, because that's when it's over. And don't get the hummus- it tastes like it's made with rubbing alcohol instead of tahini. I guess white people might like it. If you're Middle Eastern, you'll know the difference for sure. read more

They they're better than zankou chicken, but they're liars! 2 stars for the quality of the chicken. 2 stars for the overall look and cleanliness of the place. The only good this about this place is the pita bread. read more

This place even doesn't deserve one star, we got big family meal chicken to go , we all have now food poisoning, I am pregnant 7 months and I have nausea and vomiting , the same symptoms happened with my two years old daughter and my husband has diarrhea, my Mom has diarrhea and vomiting also my niece and nephew. I would never recommend anyone to buy food from this place. read more

Went here today and purchased a chicken kabob plate ! HORRIBLE! Chicken was barely cooked! Fatty!!! Waste of money!

This food was great I recommend to friends and family customer service was great the lady at the register was so friendly and helpful

I really like this place. Some of the negative reviews are true, the service isn't always that friendly and the dining area is pretty small (and old-ish), but I always get takeout. The chicken bowl is my fave, but I've also enjoyed the falafel plate and the schwerma. My son loves to get the half chicken plate with salad (but their ranch dressing is off). The garlic sauce is the best and they have the best rice in the world. I dunno what they do to it, but it's always fluffy and buttery and tender, just perfect. I love this place. I think I'll eat there tomorrow. read more

I'll make sure to recommend this place to family and friends in the area. Not bad at all for the price! almost everything is under $10. I had a lunch special and it was a pretty big lunch for me. great hamous and I actually liked the garlic sauce (I was intimidated at first). I'm coming back to try more stuff. Now I know where to go when I don't feel like making dinner. read more

I'm not really sure what kinda food this is, but I do know occasionally I have a strange hankering for their rice and chicken. Their portions are huge and there's always a special. I think I especially like this place because the chicken is rotisserie, making it delicious and juicy! Honestly I never bother trying anything else on the menu. read more

I had the cook or sous chef's hair in my food...enough said. Food was decent (new plate sans hair). I just won't be going back due to health code violations. It's cheap though, but you get what you pay for. read more
