“Don't be fooled by this small hidden restaurant. It serves AMAZING food.
Armen, the owner, is super friendly. He really cares about serving the best quality food. You can tell he's passionate about it.
The menu has lots of delicious options. I ordered the chicken thigh shish kabob. It came with very tender juicy mouth watering chunks of chicken on a bed of flavorful rice. There's a side of fire roasted jalapenos tomatoes, and hummus. Also comes with lavash bread and garlic sauce. I wish it came with a little extra chicken though.
There's only street parking. One picnic style table in front of the restaurant.
They appear to mainly cater to take out and to go orders. While there, lots of customers stopped by to pick up their orders.
It seems like they all knew Armen and he knew them. He has frequent customers.
Be prepared to wait a while for your order. Everything is freshly prepared. I would advise to call ahead and place your order. It took about 40 minutes for our food to be ready.
On a side note, mini kabob is associated with mideat taco restaurant, which is also AMAZING”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I recently dined at Cardamom Indian Cuisine, and it was fantastic! The ambiance was warm and inviting. I started with crispy samosas, followed by the rich chicken tikka masala, paired perfectly with freshly baked naan. The service was attentive and friendly. For dessert, the mango lassi and gulab jamun were delightful. Overall, Cardamom offers a wonderful dining experience with delicious food. Highly recommend!”
“The amazing place where you can taste different types of coffee with different flavors and participate in roasting process. The environment is extremely amazing. Highly recommended. Thank you for warm welcome.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“We had a fine dining experience at Katsin restaurant. Food was delicious, creatively chosen menu, service was very good, entertainment made our dining festive. Thank you to chef for such creative and unique dishes. Will come back again to celebrate high taste and service of very caring staff.”
“When we arrived there were no seats available, the entire place was packed with people enjoying their food! You could sense the feeling of warmth from the entire staff which generated and over all feeling of happiness! After about a 10 minute wait we were seated, let's say the show began. We are greeted so warmly and graciously! We are thanked for our patients in waiting, we were served hummus and pita bread while we decided what to order. My wife had the chicken kabob with rice and cabbage salad. I had beef shawarma with rice and a side of Baba Ghannouj. The portions were more than ample and the food was delicious! We both agreed that it would be worth the trip from Thousand Oaks just to eat there. We happened to be in the area for an event, and we are so grateful that we stumbled upon Skaf's! The entire staff was so friendly that we felt like we were family. We will definitely be back God willing!
Vegetarian options: The Hommus Baba Ghannouj was the best my wife and I have ever had!”
“We were in town from Palm Springs for the day and went to Little Goat after finding it online. One of the best spur of the moment stops ever - we absolutely loved the pizza and the service was phenomenal, super sweet server. We ordered two pizzas - margarita and the chef’s special apple/walnut/kale/caramelized onion/goat cheese. They were both amazing! We eat a lot of pizza and definitely have a new top favorite. Outdoor seating has both stellar views and people watching; there is a cute patisserie down the street that’s an amazing desert stop for the perfect date night; we will definitely stop by next time we are in town! We will try the house made panna cotta next time. :) Highly recommend checking them out!”
Outdoor Dining
“The shabu-shabu beef was tender and the vegetables were very fresh. However, the atmosphere was a bit distracting so it was less creepy. Overall, it's a decent, decent restaurant that's good for dining alone.”

“This gem is located on The Blvd of Cars in Glendale. They have great lunch specials Monday - Friday. We have been here a lot recently when our car is being serviced at Star Ford down the street. Tony the bartender is super nice with a great personality.”

“Really nice pizza place. My wife has celiac so I was looking for gluten-free choices. She tried the sweet potato crust which was delicious. I also got the Philly cheesesteak which tasted really good. Super friendly people and we ate in the store and the food was delivered quickly!”
“Bacari Glendale: It is a beautiful place we have always wanted to go to. We took two friends for a belated birthday dinner (and as the staff realized it was just that, they even rewarded us with a delicious birthday dessert :-). Great service, nice ambiance, and delicious food - we had the bread (could have been a bit more for the $4,50), then shared the Mac & Cheese topped up with the pear and brie pizza that was the best.”
“What an incredible experience from start to finish! From the warm welcome as we walked in to the expertly crafted cocktails, every moment reaffirmed that we were in a top-tier establishment. The beer selection on draft was extensive, complemented by creative and unique cocktails that added a fun twist to the menu. The wine list was equally impressive, featuring selections from the U.S., Bordeaux, Burgundy, and beyond, catering to any wine enthusiast.
And how could I forget the food? Partnering with the exceptional restaurant next door elevates the experience even further, combining a world-class bar with a first-rate kitchen. It’s a no brainer! We’ll definitely be back!”

“My boyfriend and I just had a meal here today. The food was delicious and the meat was good quality. Food was done well and the soup was delicious. The restaurant is very clean. Service was great. Would highly recommend.”
“My mom is actually friends with the owner and used to work there. They always put on a show there, the food is outstanding especially the fried rice. If you want hibachi, go here. Even if it's far away from you, just go there . It's worth it. 5 stars.

“First time coming here and the food was fantastic. I honestly can’t wait to try their other offerings. Located on the east side of Glendale Ave, just north of the freeway. Small parking lot, but street parking is also available. Outdoor seating is also available. The lamb shank was calling to me and I absolutely enjoyed every bite. Substituted for a different rice as well.”
“We decided to give them a try and were absolutely delighted by their service and quality of food. They took our order just before their closing and we picked up the order in 25 minutes. We ordered chicken koobideh, chicken thigh, and beef koobideh wraps (fries on the side) and they all were extremely delicious with generous portions. They also have ready to go food and their cucumber yogurt and olivieh salad were very good and tasty. We'll be back for sure. Thank you to the team at Aiden's. Keep up the good work and consistency.”
“Business lunch. Delicious meal, reasonably priced, convenient parking, low noise and great space to catch up for work, friends and celebration. Will definitely be back”

“We got lulya kebab, and it was so delicious! Too bad they didn’t have tables inside to eat. But we ate outside at their big table. We’ll definitely buy their food again.”
“This is my absolute favorite local restaurant for Italian food! The dining room feels so cozy, and the staff are always professional and polite. Food does not take too long to arrive, and they offer warm complimentary bread with oil and vinegar while you wait. Every time we visit, the food is delicious!
Parking: Free parking lot behind the restaurant.”
“Their gormeh sabzi is so delicious… I can’t even say enough about it.Very authentic, delicious Mediterranean food made with love. I’ve only gotten food to go from here (never eaten in the restaurant—but I will—so can’t speak to atmosphere yet) but I loved how they so carefully packaged the order. It was a dinner celebration for my son’s birthday, with my husband’s middle eastern relatives (who have high expectations for food) and Olive Branch nailed it. The yogurt dip also is thick and creamy and amazing. Their dolma are so delicious, chubby and full of yumminess with very tender grape leaves wrapping the contents.I literally couldn’t wait for my lunch today and it Olive Branch leftovers. I mean who can say that about leftovers?! You can’t go wrong with this place. Their food is craveable.”
“Great spot ,
Inside and outside seating.
We got the burger, fried chicken, and pot roast. Overall, food could have been better,
The quality was good, but it was lacking flavor.
Garlic fries was the best, the chips was also delicious.
Put roast could have used salt and some spices.
Total was 85$. 3 dish 2 soft drink and a beer.
About 30$ a person , normal for today prices I guess.
Parking: There is always parking around .”
“We can’t go anywhere else. He’s spoiled us, authentic, fresh and none of the fluff saucy sushi. When they first said no edamame, we almost walked out and now, we count the days to get back to nishi ya!”
“I bought a fruit cup at the Earth Bar in LAX because the fruit looked like there was a possibility that every piece might actually be ripe. I was pleasantly surprised to discover every piece was indeed ripe-kiwi, mango, pineapiple, and grapes. This is a first for me in mass-marketed fruit cups.”
“GoodFellow Market is my local market. I’m here 24/7, anytime i need something on the spot, they have it. The workers are nothing but welcoming, loving and most importantly respectful. Everyone is truly on top of everything. It’s always a good atmosphere. Overall, 10/10 experience as always.”
“First time trying Armenian food and it was AMAZING! The environment was so fun and the staff so friendly and gave us the recommendation for what to eat. Would come back!”
“First and foremost, the food was great. The outside seating is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. The owner, Monica, was very attentive to all customers and made sure we felt very welcome and satisfied with our food and service. We definitely will come back and also recommend to our friends and family.”
“weeks ago i was scrolling through and reading posts in review just like you're doing now, i had no intention of investing a penny in Bitcoin platform. i just enjoyed reading testimonies of different people talking about Mrs. Olivia Ryan trading platform, it all seem like a play, I took a bold step to invest with Mrs Olivia who i've read so much good reports about. I invested with $5000 and in seven (7) working days I received my profit of $27,500 and I keep reinvesting and my… See more”

“I was introduced to this grocery store by an Armenian friend of mine, and it's a GEM! Friendly staff, and delicious foods and produce. Their Yogurt Soup and Bean Salad (with dill) are superb, and I highly recommend their potato pirozhkis. I'm not often in Glendale, but when I am, I always make a stop! Easy parking too.”

“I had been looking forward to trying out panda inn and they did not disappoint. From the classic decorum; fantastic service and most delicious food the hardest decision was what two entrees to order as I was dining alone. I will be back with friends so that we can try more dishes!!”
“Dear Nerses vanak, I don't want to give a bad rating. Maybe it was a one-time fluke. So let me explain, I have been ordering the koodideh for two years, It was great, especially the taftan bread. The last time I ordered it, the kebab had shrunk, and the meat wasn't the same quality. The taftan was smaller and doughy around the corner, and the middle was paper thin. I know the cost of doing business has gone up last few years, but to compensate for it by sending out a meal like that will only cost lost business.”
“Been coming here years since it opened. Always get the Combo, for the Crab or Lobster with your choice of 2 other seafood, you can’t go wrong with their price. Compared with other prices from other places their flavor can hang with the best.”
“Dietary restrictions: If you have a pork or seafood allergy, you have limited options. Also, they don't state in certain dishes of it has any seafood inside so please ask to double check.”

“Best crab legs I have had in over a year. It was perfectly cooked the special Cajun garlic sauce was amazing and I added on the sausage corn and potatoes best decision ever. You must try.”
“Fast and Casual Korean for a Fair Price in Glendale.
We really love going here in a pinch after shopping at the Galleria. Love their biminbop, army stew, and Dolsot. Generally also really good banchan that they give you on the table.
Never really seen it busy but its definitely worth the try if you’re in the area.”
“The food is delicious! A great restaurant for family and friends to enjoy some delicious pizza and other delicious dishes!”
“Who the hell is bells? This place is a hole on the wall. The name isn't California kitchen. I think it's like tartem But it's right next to the tattoo parlor and the the bodega. It's a hole in the wall but man oh man, Do they bang out some delicious food. 100% would return hair because it was delicious. We got the chicken wrap thing and what was nice is there was no dairy in it and honestly the hummus in the sauce combined together and it was incredible.”
