“Been a customer here for many years. Some of the best and authentic Armenian bbq you will find in the San Fernando Valley. Stopped by to pick up a beef luleh plate a few days ago. Service is excellent and quick. Plenty of seating indoors. Tasty Burger is a must try!“
“First I want to say that the customer service was on point! I felt welcomed and heard which is a big deal. I don't eat meat - just fish and when I told the guy making my food that, he was so nice about changing his gloves and taking the precautions that made me feel comfortable. That's a big deal for me because there are places that are very rude and take offense to me addressing their cross contamination practices. Anyway for the food, my wrap was so delicious! It tasted fresh and had a lot of veggies which I appreciate. It also came with some garlic fries which I wasn't expecting and they were bomb! I got a wrap and fries for $13 bucks smh that's unheard of this day and time AND it was delicious and fresh... I will definitely be back!! Only thing I wish I had was some spicy tahini sauce to pour on my wrap, that would have been a game changer forreal.“
“Came across this restaurant on yelp and decided to stop by because of their great reviews. Im glad i did because now it makes sense why they have such good reviews. Amazing 10/10 service and food. Extremely nice ambiance to whole another level. I would say Their food is the best mediterranean food in not only entire valley but entire california. Trust my words and you wont be disappointed to come and check them out. Thank you and ill be back for sure .“
“My Persian friend Neda came to visit and wants me to try Persian food. She found Vanak online and we are trying it for the first time. It's located in the El Pollo Loco shopping center. This place looks nice and clean, they got a A grade. It has a nice ambience. I'm sure it looks a lot better in the evening. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The parking was ok. Saied took our order and was very patient and helpful. He wore a great smile and eye contact is a plus We had tons of questions about the food. He explained all about the food so patiently. The price is a bit high but they have good portions. They have such great customer service which is such a plus.. They let us sample a freshly made dessert. Usually with the amount of questions my friend had they would have been annoyed already. They were in the middle of a very big order and still tended to our tiny order. I'll definitely recommend and will be back.“
“Took a take out after reading their reviews and a long day at universal studios. The portion was a lot but the chicken was dry not soft and juicy unlike other Mediterranean joints.Their chicken wraps were good though.We were visiting the studios so stopped here on last day for dinner take out.“

“Very impressed with Javan! Service was so helpful and friendly, especially our server Victor. The food was outstanding and so fresh. The combination of flavors in the Alex salad was absolutely outstanding. Our vegetarian Koobideh was delicious. The hummus and babaganoush were perfect. Thank you - we will be back!“
“The service was excellent. The owner is so kind and generous. I tried the chicken lule kebob wrap it was huge so they are generous with portions. The wrap had good flavor and was very filling, the chicken was just a bit too tender for my liking. My sister got the beef kebab plate and loved it. Excellent food & service. The place is also clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. Nice little spot in the heart of Sun Valley.“
“I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, perfect for a relaxed evening out. Overall, I highly recommend Pi for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“
“Went for Sunday lunch. Enjoyed food and casual ambiance with relaxing instrumental music in the background. I had chicken kebab. The pieces of breast meat were surprisingly moist. A nice selection of sides. They were not that busy so service was fast. Easy to have conversations. I would return for another meal. If you are like me, I keep thinking everything is so expensive, but I've seen some TO-GO only places charge similar prices as this place, so I now have a better appreciation of the price.“
“Fantastic shawarma with a rich flavor! Visited this place and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the shawarma. Every ingredient was fresh and crispy, and the blend of spices simply captivated my taste. Will definitely come back here again!“
Hot Pot • $$
“Ordered thru delivery app. Tried the 1.5lb beef with tripe/assorted veggies hot pot with chicken gizzard and quail eggs skewers. Hot pot broth was clean and flavorful. Didn't come with any sauces. I decided to order from this place because they had bunmoja (noodle like rice cake mochi?). I've been wanting to get my hands on them to try since I love chewy texture. Had good amount of meat and would definitely order here again.“
“I'm glad this tasty, family-run restaurant is in my Los Feliz neighborhood. Happy that they've expanded their menu because the Persian Armenian food is delicious. Never had a bad meal, and never had anything but friendly service. Solid, un-pretentious, and relaxed. I dig it.“
“I’ve eaten here a few times, both dine in and delivery. The kebabs are always amazing. The spice mix is truly incredible.If you dine in, you make an order on a mobile site (via a QR code on the table) that lets your whole party add to the order and see what everyone else has ordered — it’s very convenient for a full table where you plan to eat family style!“
“Mia's intuition is spot on! She has an amazing technique that really allows her to get to the core of an issue. As soon as I sat down with her I felt at ease, like she was family. She gave me immediate insight and I felt relief in the places I was struggling. Highly recommend her services!“
“I ordered a falafel wrap with standard toppings and it was delicious!! I would add a little extra yogurt sauce next time but it wasn’t dry by any means. Also, the cilantro/jalapeño sauce is killer. I found myself on their website dreaming of my next order…!Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus and lots of grains and salads to choose from.“
“This is a hidden gem. These guys are super friendly, accommodating, and provide amazing service. The food is superb and it reminds me of some of the famous food trucks in the plethora of other countries that I've visited. The prices are fair and the amount of food you get for that price is astounding. Great work guys.“
“Best rotisserie chicken in town and home of the famous 'Jack Salad', you won't find it on the menu, you'll have to ask for it. Garlic, lemon, olive oil, parsley on fresh finely cut cabbage that completely covers your choice of light or dark meat rotisserie chicken. It's not the prettiest dish, it just looks like a mound of cabbage salad but once you dig into the crispy skinned chicken drenched with the juices of the salad, you'll be in HEAVEN!! Try it, you'll love it!“
“I’m from Saudi Arabia ?? and I know the Mediterranean food very well. Believe me this is the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten in United States ??. Thank you Alex for the good service and the smile, you’re the best GL for u man!“
“1st time eating here , I came with one of my coworkers and all I can say the guy who helped us is very nice, prepared our dishes very fast, I had the lula kabob wrap, huge wrap btw and very delicious I couldn't finish all, just half, my coworker got the combination kabob, I'm looking forward to go again , I highly recommend this placeParking: Is a small parking lot , plus is not parking only for magma, there are other shops“

“Update 3/13/23 - I have ordered from them many times since my last order and everything has been consistently fresh and delicious. No mistakes. The koobideh was amazing today and the halim is great too. Updating my review to 5 stars.Update 12/29/22 - this is the 2nd time in a row they did not provide an item I ordered and paid for on a postmates order. I changed my review from 3 stars to 1. There is no point in having good food if you don’t provide the items your customers order. Now I have ghorme sabzi with no rice :(Their food is usually good, but today they did not give me the halim I ordered on postmates :( I was looking forward to trying it since not many Persian restaurants serve it. Bummer.“
“Place has a total revamp and upgraded feel to it. You can tell the guys that run it care. Makes good food and good vibe, great area they cook outside sometimes and it smells great ? try it out, really got that Local Burbank feel Traditional food with Eastern Flavor and care.“
“The food is delicious. My order is the Kefta plate & Love the style of pita. I assume this is a family owned business because the people who take your order treat you like an old friend or a family member in the best way. They show their customers so much love. & I walk out feeling like these are good people, doing all they can for others. I totally recommend & will be back for more Kefta.“
“Now this place really hit it out of the park! The food was amazing the kebab, hummus, and tabouli were on point! The owner is a sweet heart! if you're in the Glendale area they also have a location there as well and they're both equally as good as each other. The owner runs them very well and I really enjoy the food. It's actually very well priced and it's a good deal for the money I love the place and you will like it as well. I highly recommend it“
“Excellent from start to finish. Cozy little bistro serving excellent grilled meats and Mediterranean sides. The lamb chops were tasty, tender and flavorful especially when paired with the smoky velvety babaganoush. The chicken shawarma wrap was also a hit as was the succulent salmon.“
“I drive 25 min from Calabasas to buy their marinated bbq, always fresh and the best meat in town. Best service and the nicest family owned store around.Thank you for the great service! Everything is nicely organized and clean throughout the store.“
