    Chicken Kabob Plate (with extra $6 kabob) Yum Garlic Sauce!
    Toshi I.

    So glad Zankou is here in the South Bay! I first tried Zankou's in Montebello. Who would think that chicken skewers can be soooo good especially with their addicting garlic sauce. Please note that although the business names are the same, these are two different restaurants that started from the same original family but distinctively unique. I love both locations and glad to have one close by. (Note: However, the Montebello location does offer french fries.) For just 6 bucks more, I ordered one extra chicken skewer for my plate. My plate came with a fresh cucumber condiment. I appreciated that at the counter they asked if I wanted the roasted tomato which I did not. The hummus and of course, the garlic sauce was delicious. The Hubs ordered the Tri-Tip Shawrma Wrap which he enjoyed. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious lunch, check Zankou's out. Parking in the lot. The interior has nice window shades, so at first, I thought the place was closed! It's very clean inside with plenty of seating and the staff was really nice. Highly recommend.

    1/4 Chicken Meal
    Tony B.

    We had two 1/4 Chickens w/ Cucumber Salad, Basmati Rice, Pita Bread & Garlic Sauce. The rotisserie chicken is very good with a very good spice rub. The cucumber salad was especially good it tasted very fresh and was refreshing. The 2 little peppers are good but surprisingly hot. I loved them but be aware if you are heat adverse. Just pass them over to me! The garlic sauce was good and went well with the meal but it was a weird consistence that made it hard to use. The 1/4 chicken meal was quit filling. Definitely a good value for the price :) This location has only been opened a few months so its no surprise that looks brand new but they do keep it, along with the parking lot nice and clean. The staff is also friendly and helpful. Something that is especially nice for a first timer.

    I'm not the type to leave nasty reviews out of spite but since this is a fairly new establishment and one that replaced the old Boston Market, I thought I'd leave some helpful feedback. I ordered the 1/4 chicken meal and could have easily given it a 4.5 out of 5 stars were it not for me biting into an underdone part.Food safety is serious business and even with all the fat phobia out there, a potential trip to the hospital from some undercooked chicken isn't worth it. I won't boycott this place however maybe no roasted chicken for now.

    Hummus, shredded chicken, tzatziki

    One of the best things about this place is the staff! Everyone I've encountered is always upbeat and they provide great service. The food is consistently fresh. Nice portion sizes. Tarna chicken is my favorite protein but I also go with the shredded chicken for salads. Dine-in area is always kept clean and the tables are wiped down often by the staff. Ample seating. This was a great addition to the South Bay! I hope they stay for a long while.

    Chicken Kabob Plate
    Zeeshan Q.

    Zankou chicken offers some delicious food at a great price point. They have ample parking and are located right off Hawthorne blvd. I ordered the chicken kabob plate, which comes with marinated and roasted chicken kabobs over a bed of rice with salad and hummus. I chose their tabbouleh salad, and it was fresh and minty, a great choice. Their kabobs were juicy and tender, and their hummus was some of the best I've had in the South Bay. Don't sleep on their mint cucumber lemonade either; a bit sour at first but it is very refreshing. Highly recommend trying this place out.

    I have never tried Zankou chicken prior to this location opening up. Out of all of the Mediterranean restaurants in the area this has to be favorite out of them all and is constantly on our lunch rotation for the office. The sides are delicious and I especially love the pickled radish and cucumber salad. The garlic sauce is a must.

    Tri tip shawerma
    Jimmy S.

    Good place for a quick Mediterranean bite. The staff was super nice and suggestive. I got the tri-tip shawerma. It was fairly tender and good mixture of sauce and the sides were great with the pickled turnips and hummus and pita chips. Overall decent fast casual meal spot that has been a long time coming for the southbay

    1/2 Chicken combo
    Ty D.

    I heard a lot about Zankou Chicken and decided to check this place out. I went with the half chicken, with cucumber salad and humus. It came with 2 pitas and garlic sauce. Got the order for take out. Service was friendly. There's several tables to dine in. The chicken was good, but lacked flavor / seasoning. And the breast was a bit dry. The cucumber salad and humus were good. But the sides were on the smaller portion compared to my favorite go to Mediterranean place. The garlic sauce was very thick. The price is a few dollars less than my go to Med place. There's plenty of off street parking.

    I had come here for their soft opening and the service and food was terrific. I had a free bowl for my birthday which was Choose your base: basmati rice, romaine lettuce or 50/50. Pick a protein and two toppings. Garnished with kalamata olives, feta cheese, and cilantro. Choose your two favorite sauces! I had chicken, half rice half salad with tzatziki and tabbouleh. Food and service still terrific.

    New location with good ole classic Zankou meals! This is one of the restaurants where I'll surely finish my plate. The seating area is nice but could use some cleaning in between patrons are there was some wet puddles and unkept tables. However the service was great and the food was delicious. The chicken tarna could be a little more moist, next time I'll get the rotisserie or kabob to try them. Everything else was great!

    Combo Tarna and Shawarma Plate
    Jynelle Christine S.

    I used to live in DTLA and frequented the Zankou there so I was super excited for this one to open here in the South Bay! Finally got a chance to visit and got the tarna & shawarma combo plate with tabbouleh, salad and tzatziki. Also ordered thru the app and got a free side of pita chips :) Food was so good and meat was super tender and flavorful as I remembered it! The tabbouleh was also really good and refreshing! The service was also impeccable- we initially got our food to go but decided to eat at the restaurant instead. When one of the servers noticed this, she asked if I wanted my pita heated up which was so nice of her Lastly, we got a chance to sample their chicken lentil soup which I'm definitely ordering next time! It was hearty, savory and delicious! Highly recommend and so happy they came to the South Bay!

    Lemon tahini. As I type that, my mouth is watering. It's a sauce I would drizzle on almost everything, maybe even ice cream (don't judge). Tabbouleh, famous garlic sauce, spicy harissa, mutabbal, basmati, hummus, spiced onions, roasted tomato, chicken and shish skewers...are all the regularly ordered items from Zankou. That says a lot. And it also means I'll be ordering them again and again. And again. Fresh, savory, delicious and in the neighborhood! What a delight to be greeted upon entering. The offer to help was spoken in unison by a few workers. Four helping me all at once. Now that is service attentiveness and I'm addicted. An airy and clean dining room and service so friendly you almost can't get enough. I took our order to go because for our Super Bowl nosh. Can I say how much I enjoyed taking a year off from preparing a snack spread? It was glorious. And that I filled the time with easy online ordering and enjoying the food knowing I had no kitchen clean up was a huge bonus. So glad you're in the neighborhood!

    Zankou Chicken, Mediterranean food with purpose... I was quietly waiting and watching for Zankou Chicken to finally open!! I was glad when I saw the small parking lot full with hungry customers on rotation going in and out. First timer at Zankou and I can tell you this- the herbs, spices, garlic, onions and proteins have to be the freshest on the planet . Today's order- Chicken and Beef Tarna Plate with basmati rice , cucumber salad and cabbage salad. Chicken and Beef seasoned, tender, thinly sliced over a bed of basmati rice. The cucumbers, onions and tomatoes were so fresh in the salad and a righteous amount of flavor... I loved the thinly sliced cabbage mixed with lemon and seasonings. The garlic sauce needs to be bottled up and sold in stores. I loved it, I am so glad I had extra. When food tastes this good- HEALTHY is the only option!!! Thanks Jared for being the best part of Zankou Chicken - he helped me with my order and didn't rush me to make a selection!!! I am so glad Zankou Chicken is so close by!!! Thank Zankou Chicken- Mediterranean Food With Purpose!!!

    Another pleasurable visit!…read more I ordered the Farm Club Sandwich and forgot to ask for ciabatta bread instead of wheat. Even after placing my order, the staff was happy to accommodate the change, which I greatly appreciated. The sandwich, paired with the tomato basil soup, was phenomenal. It was loaded with turkey, smashed avocado, smoked bacon, pickled red onions, and fresh greens. The flavors blended perfectly, creating a sandwich that, in my opinion, is far better than anything you'll find at Panera. After my wife and I finished our meal, one of the staff members, Zeron, kindly offered to clear our trays and bowls. Service like that never goes unnoticed. As always, the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, with plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor tables for those who prefer to dine outside. Thank you for another delicious lunch. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Something unique that I noticed was crispy quinoa in placement of regular croutons. At first I figured mmmm no I'll leave that out. But I am so glad I added it in. Definitely added to the flavor.

Ill start with service, the staff were was friendly but unfortunately very uncoordinated. Food would come out of the kitchen and onto the counter in different orders so within the same party, someone's sandwich would be made before another person's lettuce. This means the food got mixed up on the counter and while I was waiting, witnessed three people's orders get mixed up. Again they were nice about it but not a good system. We ordered a turkey salad and a Parisian baguette, first off my salad had a lot of old lettuce in it. The fresh ingredients tasted just ok, like low tier super market brand food. From a culinary standpoint, the salad could've benefited from sliced almonds or something crunchy. The Parisian baguette bread was very hard tough, with a decent amount of ham, but not enough spread or cheese.. The cashier did admit that they don't bake their own items instead a "fresh "delivery shows up every morning. I will not be coming back, but I wish them the best.
