I'm here almost every week for lunch because it's one of the few places that's fresh, healthy, and reasonably priced. After ordering the same thing for months, I bought the kufte and combo plate with hummus for my parents, and I was definitely not disappointed. My family is also from Lebanon, so we're pretty tough hummus critics, and theirs absolutely passed the test. It's smooth, lemony, and somehow you don't realize you've eaten the entire bowl until it's gone. The meat was flavorful, tender, and you could actually taste all the different spices. I've been coming here for a while now, and it's become my go-to spot whenever I want something reliable and delicious. read more

We went to Skafs for lunch. I ordered the combo plate, which consisted of skewers of the steak, chicken and kaftka kabobs. I was asked how I wanted my steak cooked. To which I replied medium rare. All were cooked to perfection. Being juicy without having an ovrerly dry or rough texture the meat was seasoned just right. Not too bland yet not too salty. The hummus and garlic sauce(Toum) were both excellent. The service was excellent as the staff were polite and accomodating. I believe the owners were there when we made our visit. They seemed very dedicated in providing us with a good dining experience. The restaurant also has a small courtyard for those who want to dine outside. There is a small parking lot. We didn't have any issues finding parking there. read more

The food is as great as always. And Skafs still makes the best falafel I have ever eaten but today the soda machine and the air conditioner we're not working. It was very hot inside. Tap water was provided. read more

This is my first visit to this location. I was excited they were opening one so close to me. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the owner. We found out that it's a family affair with 4 locations. Dad runs the original, Mom the Chevy Chase location, one brother runs the Highland Park location and another brother runs this one. The menu is fairly straightforward and consists of plates and wraps for the most part. We chose to order the Fattoush salad and a Chicken Shawarma wrap as well as a couple of beverages. There were no customers in the restaurant when we arrived. One person came in to pick up a to go order and another came in after us to dine on site. Sadly, our food took quite a long time to be prepared. At one point, while refilling my beverage, I saw them cutting chicken off of the spit and reheating it in a pan on the stove. I am used to the kind of wrap where they carve it off the rotating spit so it is dripping in juices with those charred crispy edges. Once we had our food, I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. The salad was huge, which I was pleased to see given the price ($12 plus another $8 for the chicken). The wrap was similar in size to those at Zankou. The salad was tasty, if a bit pedestrian. The dressing was tart and loaded with dried mint. Other than the pita chips, which quickly went soggy, there was only lettuce and some onion. The chicken was a bit dry, probably due to the way it was reheated on the stove. The wrap was just okay. Again, the chicken pieces were dry and somewhat flavorless. There was some lettuce and a couple of slices of tomato along with tahini sauce. The tahini was quite runny making the wrap a bit challenging to eat as it was dripping out the end. Having had Shawarma wraps at several establishments in the Glendale area, I was expecting more. For me, Zankou is the gold standard. Their Chicken Tarna is both flavorful and juicy, and their garlic Toum and Tahini sauce are thick, not runny. Skafs did not live up to that standard, not by a long shot. Skafs restaurants are well known in the community. I have friends that rave about them. I will definitely give one of their established locations a try in the future. But for a $50 lunch (salad plus chicken, wrap and two iced teas), it was quite the letdown. read more

Unfortunately, my chicken wrap was badly burnt, which is not acceptable for food being served to customers. Pretty disappointing experience. Not sure if this location is related to the one on Verdugo since the menu looks almost the same, but the quality and taste of both the wrap and fries were completely different. read more

Great addition to Glendale! The staff were very welcoming since it was my first time there and the food was amazing. The food was really fresh and you could tell the quality of the ingredients. I ate inside but they have a nice outdoor patio to enjoy your food with a relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Awesome. Daniel and crew really make you feel heard and understood here. The Skaf's family really keeps it going by making sure each of their establishments has the right fit for what type of environment you're looking for or how much time you have. Thank you for your time and service! read more

The food of the Gods! My husband and I like to split the Vegetarian combo and add extra tabbouli for tomorrow. 10 out of 10!

Just wanted to give a special shout out to SKAF for opening a quick service right near my house. They're having a ground opening promo of 30% off everything. If you love SKAF on YORK and the original SKAFS, you'll love this quick service option. Got the shawarma plate with cabbage salad instead of rice. Huge portion, super delicious! Hoping this place thrives like the other two SKAF locations! Loved the ode to ROCKBIRD on the tiles near the stove. Didn't realize ROCKBIRD were the same owners. read more

Skaf's is easily the best Lebanese spot in Glendale. The shawarma is legendary, the hummus is silkier than anywhere else, and that cabbage salad is a total must-order. You're getting elite-level food for a price that is beyond reasonable--it's honestly a steal for the quality they put out. Huge shoutout to the owner, Daniel, who runs a tight ship and treats every customer like family. The service is fast, friendly, and consistently great. If you haven't been here yet, you're seriously missing out! read more

I ordered 3 beef shawarmas. I waited while they prepared them, but they used pre-chopped meat from a tray, heated it in a pan, and finished it in a panini press. When I got home, the shawarma was extremely oily, tasteless, and did not taste like real shawarma at all read more

Frog legs best in town Lebanese food like you can count on .greatest service family run

Skaf's is hands down one of the best spots for Lebanese food in LA. Every time I come here, I have to get the chicken shawarma and the fried cauliflower. The shawarma is always perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy, with just the right amount of garlic sauce and tangy pickles to balance it out. The fried cauliflower is a star on its own. Lightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. The food here tastes fresh and homemade, and the portions are generous. On top of that, the owner, Daniel, is super nice and always makes you feel welcome. read more

Stopped by this new location, Daniel was there helping to serve me, great guy, top service, but the beef shwarma stole the show! Never had a better quality beef shwarma plate, the charring on the beef was sensational, I've had worse steaks. Also great fries, and good hummus. 10/10 read more
