8 years later and the food is still delicious, but the prices have gone up. My go to now is the Chicken Tarna plate, but honestly everything is delicious here. I find myself mentioning Zankou when people come to visit from out of town and they have not had decent Mediterranean food in their lives. Zankou is the spot to eat at and then to compare other places too. read more

This place is the OG for roasted chicken, shawarma, hummus and kabobs. The food is amazing and fresh! Ample seating and fast, friendly service. The dining room could be updated as well as the bathrooms. Easy to order ahead and carry out. read more

The food was delicious, the chicken very good. The sides were delicious as well. The service, a very kind gentleman behind the counter pardon his self from the very busy register to hand me my take out order. Like I said my order was take out. This place is small but yet then again plenty of room for seating. It's casual attire. I'll be returning. read more

Service was so nice and explained all the menu items to us. Food took 10-15 min because they cook it to order. We ate inside and it was clean and enough tables for everyone. The chicken was so good! They also have hibiscus tea, lemonade, and cucumber mint lemonade (which is what I got). Definitely coming back here! read more

Zankou Chicken - Anaheim Solid 4 1/2 Stars Chicken 5 Stars***** Eggplant Hummus 5 Stars***** Cucumber salad 5 Stars***** Service 5 Stars***** Pita bread 4 Stars**** Beef 4 Stars**** Hummus 4 Stars*** Ambiance 3 Stars*** Thanks to my buddy Isaac for recommending this hidden Mediterranean gem! Zankou Chicken in Anaheim absolutely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the Combo Kabob Plate, which allows you to choose any combination of two skewers (Chicken, Shish, or Lule). It comes garnished with a roasted tomato, spiced onions, and your choice of three sides or salads. Served with two fresh pita breads and house-made sauces, it's a feast! For my plate, I chose: Chicken and Shish Kabob skewers Sides: Basmati Rice, Hummus, and Cucumber Salad Bonus side: Mutabbal (a roasted eggplant spread) Let me tell you--this meal was an experience! The Chicken: Perfectly grilled and seasoned, it was juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. Definitely the star of the proteins and an absolute must-try. The Shish Kabob: Tender and delicious, it complemented the meal well, but the chicken stole the show for me. The Basmati Rice: Fluffy with a delightful aroma, it was the perfect accompaniment to the chicken and steak. The Sides: Hummus: A bit bland for my taste, but still creamy and fresh. Cucumber Salad: Crisp, refreshing, and a great balance for the richness of the proteins. Mutabbal: The true star of the plate! This roasted eggplant spread, with hints of sesame paste and garlic, was absolutely divine. It's hard to describe the taste--just know it's heavenly and an explosion of flavors in every bite. Pair it with the warm pita bread, and your taste buds are in for a treat! To finish my meal, I treated myself to dessert: Baklava: Two pieces of pure bliss! Made from their family's secret recipe, these flaky, buttery layers were perfectly balanced with chopped walnuts and pistachios. Sweet but not overwhelming, it was the ideal light dessert to round out my meal. A perfect ending! This was my first visit to Zankou Chicken, and I'm officially a fan. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. If you're in Anaheim, don't sleep on this place--thank me later! read more

Very disappointing experience. The falafel tasted sour, which was concerning. After eating dinner at this location, three members of my family became sick and threw up. It seems like something was not fresh or had gone bad. We will not be returning read more

The BEST chicken kabob. I've been going here for so long...has to be more than 10 years. I should have a dozen updated reviews. Anyway, I like getting the same every time. They're known for chicken, so that's what I get every single time. A double chicken skewer plate with tabouleh or the cucumber and tomato salad and hummus and extra garlic sauce. It never fails me. The food always hits. I recently tried the lule, and it was flavorful and not dry! I remember getting steak once, and it was not the most tender, so I just stuck to the chicken. The chicken is the moist moist and juicy kabobs ever. The quality and taste are consistent. On Sundays or dinner times, they can get ridiculously busy. Regardless, I'm always calling in my order so I don't have to wait when I get there. The dining room is spacious, but I like eating in the comfort of my home. 10/10 recommend read more

Absolutely what I hoped it would be! Chicken Tarna Bowl was a sizable meal. The cabbage side added a nice crisp balance to the bite of chicken rice hummus and feta. The sides are small (I wish there was more) but appropriate (I couldn't have eaten more). Fresh lemonade and Hibiscus Iced Tea were top notch not too sweet. And the baklava!!! Buttery not too nutty and so flakey. Do not skip it. Fast- friendly service. read more

Got the chicken bowl with tabbouleh and cucumber salad. Don't know how I feel about it but it does come with a lot of rice. Normally I get the quarter chicken or beef kebab plate but I wanted to switch it up. Food here is consistently bomb. Have been coming back and will definitely continue to do so. read more

Location / Located in a plaza with ample parking. The place is quite spacious and can accommodate big or large groups. I've seen families have meals here. Service / Awesome they were friendly and communicated with us lots of their kebab dishes are made to order. So asking us to be patient for a 15 minute wait was very much appreciative. Food / Hands down the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had! Great portions for the price. Comes with their hummus that was so creamy and pairs well with their warm pita bread. Pickled turnips and spicy yellow peppers give that taste palette a refreshing crunch. Chicken is so moist and the skin is seasoned to perfection. I would come here again and make this my go to places for healthy and fresh food. read more

Back when I lived in Tustin, CA, going to Zankou Chicken was more than just a meal. It was a routine, a tradition, and a guarantee of great food. We made it a point to visit at least once a month for their whole chicken, fresh pita bread, and their legendary garlic spread. The flavor was unmatched, and just thinking about it now reminds me of how incredible it was. My mother, my late father, and the rest of my family all loved this place. Even after moving out of Tustin in 2004, I never stopped coming back. Whether I was near Anaheim, heading to Disneyland with my kid, or traveling to the airport, stopping at Zankou Chicken was always part of the plan. The food has only improved over the years. The chicken remains perfectly seasoned and juicy, the garlic spread is as flavorful as ever, and the customer service continues to be excellent. I have even recognized some familiar faces behind the counter over the years, which speaks to the consistency of the place. I am back on Yelp after deleting my old account and wanted to make sure Zankou Chicken was one of the first reviews I wrote. If you have never been here, you are missing out. They have expanded across Orange County and Los Angeles County, but I hope they open a location in Riverside County soon. Five stars for outstanding quality, service, and consistency. read more

Great place! Everything is fantastic and the people are great. Must try for anyone looking for a good chicken spot

Palate happiness the garlic sauce the tabouli falafel are amazing but the CHICKEN IS DELICIOUS. Inside and out. It is always bursting with flavor. read more

I love zankou chicken. It never disappoints. This location has a good amount of parking which is also nice. Portions are generous, food is always fresh, and people are always friendly. I always get the combo plate and usually there is no problem with it. This time, the worker let us know that they accidentally gave our food away so there was going to be a slightly longer wait. They apologized and gave us some hummus, pita chips, and drinks. I appreciate that they owned up to their mistake and made up for it. That kind of customer service is part of why I always go back to Zankou. PS. Get the app and loyalty account! Its worth it if you go at least twice a year. read more

We enjoyed our meals at Zankou chicken. Mediterranean dishes are perfectly cooked and plenty of food. Chicken dishes are very good. Combo kabobs are very tasty...flamed grilled. Hummus is very good...pita bread was a bit dry. Staff was friendly and helpful. Prices for dinners were reasonable. Will definitely visit again in future. Recommend this restaurant. Plenty of indoor seating. Not a fancy place...very casual. read more

Ordered the 1/4 dark chicken meat plate and this is what I got when I came home and opened the box. This was over $15.00 after tax. Like did the person working here who was preparing this order think this was funny or is this a real size order? If this is a joke, good one by the owner. Now can I get a real order with chicken not the size of a kids meal or a refund? Like for real, this is a pathetic plate of food. Make it right! This isn't ok! read more

I cannot believe I had never been here before! as a socal native, I had seen Zankou Chicken multiple times but somehow never tasted it There are simply not enough good words in the dictionary to speak of this place Off the charts divine One of the juiciest rotisseries out there. The accompanied garlic and tahini sauces were unimaginably tasty. We were so indecisive and the lady taking our order offered for us to sample some of the meats (the tri tip shawarma, chicken shawarma and roasted chicken). The winner for me was the tri tip, succulent and melt in your mouth tender. We had the chicken tarna as well, which they are known for - delicious. Overall, we split 3 dishes among 2 people and I still need to come back multiple times to clear off the rest of the menu The staff was super helpful and friendly. They offered to taste test our selections and even came to check in on us at the table. Definitely not a practice at other fast food locations. I stood up to use the restroom and was immediately guided towards it. Service was better than what I would expect from anyone - they should all work at Disneyland :) Unimprovable Can't wait to come back for more! read more

I recently found out I had to make changes to my diet (low-fat) or it could trigger gallbladder attacks. I was in despair of not being able to eat out anymore until Zankou chicken had everything I was able to eat. I was able to order pick up through phone call and they seemed BUSY. But I think it's because they're really worth trying. So about the food? AMAZING. I spent 4-5 days eating BRAT foods (very bland) because I was so scared of eating any type of foods but I got the chicken plate and ate it for like 2 days lunch/dinner. I got it with the cucumber salad, basmati rice, and tahini salad. Safe to say I didn't even have a trigger to my attacks. So I'll be ordering from zankou more often! read more
