Zankou Chicken is my favorite spot for rotisserie chicken - it's not always perfect: sometimes dry, too salty or other times mushy, but when it's done right it's omg it's great! Their garlic paste (TOUM) is the best around;request extras because they never give enough. I also love their hummus! The family meals are the best value and they offer a variety. Zankou is a family owned chain and some of their locations are better than others. My preference : Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, and Van Nuys location are my go to spots. Service here is friendly, food is great, and parking is available by street or in the located mini-mall. Security is present and location is safe. read more

Zankou Chicken is one of my all time favorite place to eat if I'm near the area. This is my second time at this location since I usually go to Pasadena location.. Their rotisserie chicken is a must-try, boasting a perfect blend of spices and tender, juicy meat. The garlic sauce, a Zankou specialty, is truly addictive and adds an extra layer of flavor to every bite. I ordered a small tub of extra garlic since it's so good! Beyond the exceptional chicken, the menu offers a variety of options that cater to different tastes. Whether you're a fan of their flavorful shawarma plate, wraps, hearty falafel plate, or hummus which is my all time favorite, Zankou never disappoints. Huge portions at a great price! The staff at Zankou is friendly to all their customers, ensuring that your visit is pleasant from start to finish. The restaurant was clean. read more

Zankou Chicken - Combo Kabob Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Recently visited this Zankou restaurant, located in Glendale, on Colorado Bl. Been here before, but it's been awhile since my last visit. Glad to say service was good, and better yet, the food still tasted great. Ordered the combo skewer plate, your choice of skewers, shish kabob, chicken or beef luleh (ground beef). I chose chicken & beef luleh. Tasted great, cooked perfectly. Some restaurants are scared to serve under cooked chicken, so they over cook it and it's served dried. Zankou skewers were still moist & juicy on the inside. Oh, and that fricken garlic paste...awesome! Still happy, stomachs happy, everything is good. 5 stars from me. read more

They have online ordering down to a science! Fast, friendly, and so fresh! Plenty of space to eat in if you wish inside.

Young lady named Angelica at the Glendale store was amazing. Super busy and took time to help me with my order. I had to add and remove few things and she was super patient and kind. Smiley face and offered me water. Great service. read more

Friendly healthy family meal. Shout out to Angelica who is warm, friendly and patient behind the counter. It's a great choice for a quick healthy family meal. Comfortable atmosphere, clean place. Definitely recommend! read more

Very disappointed. Ordered a family meal. Chicken was terrible. Undercooked, fleshy and could not eat most of it. Had to throw most of the chicken in the garbage. I was a Zankou fan but not going back. $33 waste of money. read more

I dunno. My gf loves this place, but I'm less impressed. I've ordered from them three times - the Glendale location - and the chicken has been dry and unremarkable. It's not even as good as the prepared rotisserie chicken at Ralph's. Oh well be read more

Food is good and the workers are all positive. This is our go to place when we go to glendale for appointments.

Zankou Chicken - The Glendale location is the best one yet! The food & service was excellent! Don't forget to leave room for their Baklava. - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

I am not quite sure what the issue seems to be, but either the employees do not read labels before making food, or do not know the difference between white meat and dark meat. I do not eat dark meat and on multiple occasions, even though I specifically request and PAY for all white only meat, have received mixed meat kabobs. Today I specifically called ahead after placing my order and said to please please please make sure it is white only. The woman assured me she'd speak to the cooks but when I received my order it was still half dark. When I called, she claimed that I was lying and that it was definitely all white (it was not) and while they did give me a refund, she had an attitude and didn't apologize at all. This is the third or fourth time this has occurred. I am not sure what the issue here is especially since I pay extra for white and have no reason to make a bigger deal about this than necessary, but I don't recommend this location in particular. Will definitely be ordering from other stores from now on. read more

In the past I've always ordered a half chicken combo plate but this time around I ordered the Chicken Shawarma wrap with everything on it. The service was quick and it didn't take long to receive my order for dine in. The food was good with the added garlic sauce which is always popular among customers. read more

Zankou Chicken - Delicious lunch sandwich 2022 - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

The simplicity of middle eastern cooking with the humble rotisserie chicken is what Zankou is all about here in Southern California. In a style layered with Garlic and other basic spices, this SoCal favorite can be ordered in pieces or simply take-away a whole chicken. This roast chicken has available the usual accompaniments such as pickled vegetables, a whipped garlic sauce, hummus, and pita. Also available are wrap, and beef luleh if chicken isn't your hankering. The Zankou chicken isn't the crispy rotisserie like others, and unlike others, the subtle hint of middle eastern flavors is where this is at. Again, the seasoning isn't bold; it is a subtle blend to highlight the chicken and good alternative to other fast food. read more

Zanks Zankou Chicken! Last minute rotisserie chicken saved a small thanksgiving celebration. I order the $10 rotisserie chicken on postmates and babam it was ready to pick up in minutes. Super easy pick up process-- they even have a parking lot. Solid, tasty tender chicken. Smaller than the mega costco rotisserie chicken, but the last time I went at costco, I got anxiety because there were so much people-- but here, just picking it up, I feel much safer. $5 tahini salad was good too. It's mostly the tahini dressing so it's a bit of a heavy salad, but a good one to eat with the pita bread. Yes they also give a pack of pita bread in its own legit labeled wrapping (amazing! a ton of places i've ordered just throw the pita in the to-go bag which is... unsanitary). But I got some bad rep from my thanksgiving crew that I should've ordered hummus if there was going to be pita and they pity the fool who gets pita without hummus. Save yourself, order the hummus. read more

Zankou Chicken - Ouchie but yummy. Happy Thanksgiving! - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Always consistent. Good food. Clean and good service. Lucky to have this restaurant in Glendale.

I've been going to Zankou for years and it's always been like family - I love them but they're prone to disappoint you from time to time. We ordered the Big Family Meal which is is a bargain at $52. It includes 2 whole chickens, four sides, pita and garlic sauce. My family is big so we added 2 tri-tip sharwerma, tabbouleh salad and cucumber salad. The beef shawerma is wonderful, the chicken is great even if the breast tends to be a bit dry and I love their hummus and mutabbal. What's not great and the reason for 3 stars? I ordered online and as suspected it was all ready packed up and waiting for me. My concern? Even though I was assured that my order was accurate, the only way to confirm it would have been to untie the bags and start digging. I took their word and that was a mistake. No tabbouleh and they shorted us on the garlic sauce - both confirmed on the receipt as purchased. Will I be back? - sure. Will I order online again? Nope. read more

Miguel was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the food. i had a great experience. thanks Miguel!

It shouldn't take 17 minutes to process a Chicken Tarna plate. Very disappointed, same situation twice in the last 30 days.

Like always delicious. I love the fact that any of these Zanko the taste and quality does not change. This is now one of our to go places when we want something fast but yet delicious. I just hope it does not change. My favorite is the pickled unions it just gives an extra kick. Customer service is great as well and fresh pita! Plus the restroom were very clean and that is something me as a mom can really appreciate. Thank you again for putting these taste restaurant more available. read more

Zankou Chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

The Glendale location on Colorado Blvd is the best location . most of the other locations are rundown, old-fashioned and not run as efficiently. The chicken tarna wrap is the best choice. You can't beat it for the flavor and cost. Make sure you ask for garlic sauce, it's not really a sauce more of a paste but it's essential for enjoying their food. They'll often forget to add it to your order,and it should come with your sandwich. The rotisserie chicken is amazing and you just can't beat the price for feeding a whole Family with these healthy options. Great food. I highly recommend it. True crime fun fact, the Zankou family was involved in a murder suicide story that happened several years ago... Had nothing to do with the actual business, but it's an interesting listen if you want to seek it out read more

A great place to order food and eat. The service is great and I enjoy the environment. The food is amazing as well and the ambiance is just right. Thank you for a wonderful time and you found the right people for the job! You guys run a great business! Thanks you! read more

Literally my favorite place!! I love going here, it's comfort food. My favorite are the wraps or the family deal!

Fresh, delicious and easy to order. Convenient, easy parking and friendly staff. I go back often.

I usually order the combination family meal whole chicken, hummus and rice. The food is always good! Order on line for faster service.

Tigran and Alexis that works there made the Zankou Chicken food much better because of great services they provide. They were very attentive and were patient with me when I was not sure what I was craving for tonight and was helpful of helping me decide. I am coming back here especially when I am craving chicken and garlic. Thank you for being cool guys and great service. read more

Zankou Chicken - Yummy! - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Lately, I've been going to the West LA location of Zankou since it is closer to where I live. However, it was nice to revisit this location since I always stop at the Baklava Factory in the same complex. I ordered the lule kabob plate and combo plate with chicken and shish kabobs along with tabbouleh. Everything was tasty as usual. However, the wait seemed longer today even though I realize the kabobs take longer to cook. Next time, I'll remember to call in my order ahead of time. read more

Sorry other kebab restaurants - Zankou chicken's Luleh ground beef kebab blows all others away!!! Not to mention their chicken and garlic you can't get that anywhere else and any of the side dishes. As for the occasional forgot an item in the bag; just look inside before taking off. When they are slammed they are as busy as anyone in LA! My go to when HANGRY. read more

Zankou is unreal. Pretty affordable and The food is always delicious. I lived off of the Family Meal at the start of pandemic, and now I'm transitioning to their new bowls. They are SO GOOD. Tons of rice and of course their delicious chicken tarna. Best part - the new Harissa Hot Sauce is ACTUALLY spicy! Got some good heat to it, but tastes good as hell too. (Unlike halal guys whose Hot Sauce is pretty much heat-only haha) Five stars for my favorite spot to suck down garlic sauce like its a jello shot read more

I had food poisoning from this place with my parents. Do not recommend going there. I was in the bathroom for 3 hours. I felt like my stomach was going to blow up. My dad threw up 3 times. Same with my mother. Their HR department is the worst. They do not give you a call back. I left them a message and called a hundred times. Do not go there. read more

Thank you Dora for the taking care of my tab. Jazmin sent me an empty gift card by mistake and the store manager credited it. Thank you. Food was much better at this location.

I'm surprised I haven't written a review of Zankou. I always thought I did. I've been coming here for years. Quarter chicken to half chicken, chicken tarna, and beef shwarma are all great here. As a matter of fact, Zankou Chicken is so much a part of Los Angeles, I can't imagine tourists would not try this place. Anyways, 5 stars for being the OG mediterranean chain restaurant in Los Angeles. read more

For some reason, this location is not quite as good as the one in Hollywood. Definitely has a much longer wait time, and the food seemed a wee bit dry/left over. However, the customer service is much better at this one overall. I still love this food so much, especially the incredibly addictive garlic sauce, but I will probably just keep going to the Hollywood one instead. read more

I always come here and the food is consistently good. Unfortunately, they have also have a consistent track record of getting my order wrong, so usually I check the bag. Today, I was in a hurry and just grabbed my bag and left. I guess that's what i get for expecting people to pay attention to detail. Smh. It's quite annoying especially when they charge extra for condiments you didnt receive. read more

Was exited to try this place out for the time and it turned out to be so disappointing! The chicken tasted bad and it had a weird smell to it . My bf also got their chicken combo with rice and cucumber salad and it was so dry and didn't have any taste . So disappointing.Only thing I actually enjoyed was the garlic dip and that's sad to say . I don't think I would ever come back here . Not worth 45$ at all. Service was decent as well. read more
