Very bad service RUDE waiters. We reserved two tables for my dad's passing . It was a sad gathering so people didn't even eat. When it was a time to go they didn't give us any food claiming that there was no food left. I'm so shocked I saw how people didn't even eat. Our table was still full of food. Probably waiters will take it home tonight!!! Enjoy waiters my father's remembrance dinner!!!! My Glendale folks please stay away from this restaurant. Apparently the managers favorite line is "you ate all the food" is his response to everyone when they don't want to give you the food! read more

We hosted our baptism here and it was a full daytime event in the indoor venue. We were able to come in person to negotiate the price per person by cutting plates out of the menu. They definitely overdo the quantity than necessary which would have been a lot of waste had we not cut the menu way down. I didn't love their music offered because they didn't speak as much English for songs and the speakers were really loud. I kept telling them to turn it down and they kept increasing it. There were babies / kids there and it was loud enough to affect their precious ears. The food itself was delicious and service was good. I liked that they allowed us to bring our own liquor. Considering it's also a hookah place you have to accept that as part of the venue which isn't for everyone. We didn't mind. The valet price was high and there's not a whole lot of street parking available so plan that if you have an event here. read more

found ourselves across the street with low blood sugar. had three choices on that corner. the outdoor patio pulled us in. what a really nice experience! gazebos set behind a really nice metal screen wall made it preety private. each gazebo had fans and heaters to match the weather. food was really tasty! had tan for the first time and lllllloooved it! chicken lula and vegetable bbq was really good. and another first... the blinchiki which is now something i want all the time. while the outside was really casual and where we ate, the inside is gorgeous. the people there taking care of you do a realy nice job. felt really welcomed and comfortable. any time we are clise by, we will be back! read more

Don't come here. The server looked at us very rudely as we entered. Everything is overpriced for the low quality of food you're getting. My friend ordered a side of veggies thinking it'd be big enough to share. Nope! It was a tiny little side that costed $12. The soup I ordered was heavily under seasoned. The hummus was mid. On top of it all they add an 18% "service charge"! For what exactly??? Yeah, soooo many better mediterranean food spots in Glendale that provide better service and quality of food. Ararat is trash. read more

We did my daughter's birthday celebration. Great food and ambience! Everyone had a delightful evening!

Very bad service and food awful. We reserved the place for 30 people for my mother in laws 1 year of passing. Only 23 came in they charged us for 30 however we asked for the food that we paid for 7 people they said they don't have it. What if those 7 came in they were going to stay hungry. On top of it whiteout asking if we want valet parking for only 7 cars they charged my guests $15 dollars each. Food terrible tasteless a variety of cheese platter had only one type of cheese. Servers no smile not hospitable I asked for basil it was like I was asking for black caviar. I felt confident in my own event. One of my guests asked for more coffee and they didn't want to make it and they didn't. There were lots of trays of unopened pastries that guest brought they didn't want to give those. I think that they resale the food and the pastries to other clients. Scammers, rude, unprofessional service and bad attitude. Uninviting environment. My guests were not happy. Money hungry if the owner is not a civilized person how will the employees be. read more

The worst customer service if you can even call it that. Very rude, obnoxious, money hungry people run this establishment. Shame on you and its a shame you are Armenian. Overpriced for the low quality food and small portions. Didn't want to bring food out the table was half empty. Anyone giving this place more than 3 stars either work there or is friends of the owner. They decided to charge us a 18% fee on top of over charging us already. This place is complete trash and we can't believe it is still in business. read more

Ararat Restaurant - There is 4 pieces of bastruma and 4 sujux? Really the cheese platter is the same way fucking ridiculous - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

I invited 20 people to Ararat for lunch today and what I can tell is that we were welcomed nicely, our friendly servers were very kind and both did their work perfectly. Now talking about food: it was good and the quality was much better than a year ago. Price was the same as it was discussed on the phone. Also, Arevik I guess she is a manager was very kind on the phone and she confirmed my reservation by calling me. For those who wrote negative reviews please be kind, respect people and their work even if all is not perfect. read more

The food was fine, but under no circumstances should you leave your car with the valet service. They parked my car illegally, and then threw away the ticket. The restaurant is technically not responsible for what the valet service does with my car, and the city views this as my responsibility. read more

Ararat Restaurant - This place is like a home for us. - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

People are idiots. Stop complaining about prices. This is an a la carte place, not full course meals. If you're hoping for McDonald's quality food and prices, don't come here. If you enjoy hookah and family style food with friends, come here. Very happy and will come back. read more

Came here for a party and the food was not so great the fish was I can't lie but everything else did not look appetizing and my mom ate the beef and chicken and now she has food poisoning What's worse is I came home smelling like an ash tray everyone was smoking cigarettes inside ! I know that is common but it's 2021 probably not the best idea especially with kids there ! Don't even get me started with the music ! That was a disaster also ! I would not come here again Sorry read more

Ararat Restaurant - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

This place is definitely not a family restaurant... came here with my 9m old baby and had to leave after 15 min. There was no air to breathe 60-70% of the guests were smoking INSIDE!!! There is absolutely no common sense....most getto Armenian restaurant i have ever been to.... When we asked the manager about the smoking her response was "cant do anything, all armenian restaurants allow indoor smoking"... that's B.S. i go to events almost every other week and never seem such thing! I came home my hair, my clothes and even my baby smells like cigarette.. DISGUSTING! Please change your policy on this matter and have the smokers smoke outside. Also wouldn't hurt if the manager could learn about second hand smoking and its side effects.... read more

I recently had an event at Ararat Restaurant & I must say that I have never been so happy with how everything was taken care of. Starting from the moment I walked in to restaurant until the moment we left, we enjoyed every moment with pleasure. The waiters waitresses customer service was beyond pleasant and exceeded all expectations. The customer service from all staff were out of the ordinary & phenomenal! We had an amazing time and my guests were very pleased. The food and everything else was impeccable. I'll definitely be back. read more

My family and I reserve the place for 21 people for anniversary and birthday party. I mentioned the 21 people. When we arrived they put two separate tables and letarly we sat in two different groups tables not even on one side. One table right one table on the left. They messed up our event. The food that we ordered was not cooked properly. The worst thing was they brought the food of each two person in one plate. Who does that. I got food poisoned the day after. Also there were a group of giys6wbo smoked Inside. No air to breathe. Horrible place. Worst experience ever read more

If you want to smell like an ashtray Go here, we spoke to the manager, told her we are with a 9 month child, the place has 0 ventilation, 90 people in a small space and a bunch of them were smoking. Food was whatever. This is NOT somewhere you want to take your family to. Maybe a place a bunch of your guy friends can go to smoke indoors, but even then the food wasn't anything above a C read more

Stopped here on the way to LA.... First off you can bring your own bottles with no corkage fee. Second you can smoke hookah before, while or after you eat if that's your kind of thing! Lastly the wait staff and the food were just awesome. The Lulu chicken kabob was delicious but the real winner here was the lamb chops! Must try at this spot. read more
