    Another delicious Zankou Chicken location. This location is just as busy as the others I've been to with the same old school decor. There is a small parking lot in front and an underground parking structure that has an elevator if you are concerned about accessibility. I was in the area and decided to drop in for takeout. Took home chicken, hummus, garlic paste, tabbouleh, pickles, and tzatziki. Every single item was so good. They forgot my baklava though hence the one star down.

    Mixed Combo Kabob Plate with tabbouleh, rice and cucumber salad. An extra skewer of shish kabob and a small side of tabbouleh.

    Allow me to share with you why the Zankou Chicken in Glendale is the best of them all. It begins with the chipper, professional attitude that Carlos has when taking your order over the phone. When you arrive to the restaurant, you are greeted with a kind smile and your order is made promptly and completely. They're even generous with their garlic paste and extra peppers that are asked for, free of charge. But most of all, I was incredibly impressed with Ruth's humility and compassion. It is very clear that she and the team work very hard and have pride in their work. This team offers exemplar customer service! The food is clean, well made, and delicious. The team is efficient, professional and polite! I highly recommend Zankou Chicken in Glendale!

    I've come back here a few more times since my last review; mainly because it's the closest location to me, and let's be real, I love my chicken. I'm someone who prefers healthy, smaller meal portions, and Zankou definitely delivers on that (They offer other, large portioned items on the menu, but this is simply what I like). That said, I really want to point out how much the service has improved for me since my original experience. Tigran (shoutout to you!) has been amazing every time I've come in these past few months. He's taken care of my order with no issues, and even when he's not there, the other staff members have been nothing short of great. I always get the Chicken Tarna in a large container or the Tarna bowl with rice. And since I've become a bit of a regular lately, Tigran and a few of the others have remembered my name and my order, which honestly makes me feel so welcome. I'm really glad I gave this place another shot; now it's one of my favorite quick food spots to stop by.

    My wife and I went to this location with 18 dollars, the remaining balance I had left on my debit card. We were unsure of the potential vibe of this Zankou location, but as we walked through the door, we were eagerly greeted by three chipper employees, and immediately knew our lunch had the potential to be fantastic. We were having trouble figuring out the optimal meal for our budget so I explained the situation to Sipan & Kim. I have only 18 bucks. What could I get to satisfy two hungry artists?" Immediately, Sipan and Kim were actively racking their brains to find the best bang for our buck. They were contemplating between a 1/2 chicken plate, or a chicken bowl with extra protein, or maybe even a schwarma plate (no, that would be too much after taxes). We finally went with Kim's suggestion of the 1/2 chicken plate with a side of hummus and cucumber salad would be the best option with our price constraint. We placed our order and it came out to 18.70. I placed my card on the machine, with a slight fear I wouldn't be able to pay for it. The card beeps and I'm 70 cents short. Sipan, the main cashier helping us, assured me that it was completely fine and placed his card on reader, covering my charge. Then I thanked him profusely, as he handed me water cups and my receipt. We got our food three minutes after paying for it, which was life saving, like finding an oasis on a long Saharan trek. We were very hungry. As I went to pick up the tray with the food, Kim threw on an extra pita bread. Thank you Kim. We got our food and it was as incredible as the service. The crispy skin and juicy meat of the chicken, the perfectly smooth and grounding hummus, and refreshing crunchy salad, was wiped clean, eaten, and appreciated as we felt its its nutrients convert into energy for us to live our blessed lives. Lesly then handed me a drink on the house, which was really kind too. Overall, I'd give this Zankou chicken experience a 10/5 stars. The true definition of quality and fast food. The team is vibrant, uplifting, and inspiring. Thank you especially to Sipan, Kim, and Lesly for creating an experience to remember, on the first day of 2026 to say the very least! What a way to start the new year.

    Best food!

    Wow, been coming to Zankou for years but this is by far my favorite location. Eddie and Lesly and the staff were extremely pleasant and courteous. Food was amazing as always .

    Why go to Raffy's when you can go here?…read more I must say that I have been coming to Mini Kabob for 10+ years. I live in OC and have visited on many occasions just for Mini Kabob. The food at Mini Kabob is extremely solid. My favorite cuts are the steak shish and chicken thighs. I dont really care for chicken but they do a really good job here. Even their lamb is amazing and I dont not like lamb at all. The toum is fantastic and the rice is so buttery and fluffy. The ambience is quaint as the shop is small. I remember it used to be a single unit until the neighbors on their right moved out and they took over the space. There is a few outdoor seats but im going to preface and highlight the word "few". Otherwise you can eat in your car or take it to a nearby park. Armen is running the show and is a stand up human being. Always tried his best to remember every customer, gets to know them and greets everyone with a happy smile despite how slammed they can get. Hardest working individual I know who is trying to make a huge name for Mini Kabob now that he has taken over the family business.

    Very good! So happy I finally got to try this place! Be warned - it is a 20+ minute wait and there…read moreis one picnic table to eat at. The good news is that most people pick up to go orders, so that one table is fairly available. The chicken was very good. Super moist. The beef Lula was AMAZING. The hummus was ok. The guy next to me gave me one of his lamb chops! Probably the single nicest act of food kindness from a stranger ever. Great lamb! They salt brine it. If I were to go again, I would try the beef. The ambiance was good but I would not eat there. They have set themselves up to be a carry out restaurant - I just didn't get the memo.
