he staff is super welcoming and they're always on top of things, which makes a big difference. Even when there's a line, they move through orders quickly and the service stays friendly. The food is consistently fresh and tastes great, but the main reason I keep coming back is just how easy and reliable the experience is. It's clean, the people are cool, and you aren't stuck waiting forever for your food.

Chicken Luleh Plate
Michelle C.

Stopped by Ark and ordered the Chicken Luleh Plate. I originally had my eye on the Beef Luleh, but unfortunately they were already out by 5 PM. That said, the chicken did not disappoint. It was well-seasoned, juicy, and paired perfectly with the rice. I really enjoyed switching it up by adding either a bit of hummus or the white garlic sauce to the chicken. Both sauces complemented the flavors beautifully and added another layer of richness. The pita bread was thin and warm, a simple yet welcome addition that tied the plate together nicely. The cucumber and tomato salad is always on point and adds a hint of freshness to the plate.

I got a chicken kebab combo. The chicken was cut up into really big pieces so I thought maybe it wouldn't be cooked thoroughly. I was wrong cause the meat was so tender and delicious. The rice pilaf was perfect. I really like that their meal comes with hummus and pita too. They were both yummy and a great bonus for me. The only thing I'd change is the salad. It was good but i would prefer a fattoush salad.

Chicken kabob plate.

This is my first time here. Upon entering, I noticed a few of the tables were dirty and I had to wipe down the one I sat at. I ordered a chicken kabob plate. The rice pilaf was cold. I mentioned it to the girl behind the counter and she brought me out a side of rice pilaf. It was lukewarm. The chicken was cooked well and had ok flavor. The hummus was a little bland. The tomato and cucumber salad was ok. The pita was cold as if it was refrigerated. I prefer pita bread warm. I don't think I've ever had it served refrigerated. All in all, I think a three rating is generous. Clovis isn't the place to go for seasoned food if you know what I mean.

I ALWAYS ORDER EXTRA HOT SAUCE
Phornsinh I.

Nice clean restaurant. The employees are always great here. I got the combo with beef and chicken. I love the thick chunks of meat, it keeps the meat juicy. The meat is seasoned well with delicious flavor. The rice pilaf is always on point, soft and hot. The famous salad is great with a vinaigrette type of flavor. The pita and hummus is also pretty good, the pita does get dry kind of quick. And you HAVE TO try the spicy sauce, it's an extra 75 cents but sooooo good. I ordered 4 this day Some will say the price is high but the meat portions are large where I ate this 3 times that day to finish it. The 20 oz soda price of $3.50 is steep in my opinion though. Tons of seating as well as bar style seating along the window. I also went next door to Phoever to get a Thai Tea

Beef luleh and lamb plates.

I was visiting the Fresno area and found this gem. Usually it's hard to find places in California (outside of the Los Angeles area,) that have good Armenian food, but this was one! If the cops go there, you know it's good! Very clean restaurant, very tasty food, and very nice people!!

List

Food is left out the fridge for long time The staff wiped the tables and went back to prepare food without washing her hands. Then she went to charge people in the register again went back to prepare food without washing her hands. Restroom very dirty

I stopped by for a bite on a weekday and had high hopes after seeing the reviews. I ordered a couple things: fries, fattoush salad, and a gyro wrap. The best thing about this meal was the gyro meat. It was tender and deliciously seasoned. Unfortunately, everything after that was either too mild or bland for my liking. Service was top notch as the worker was kind in answering all my questions. Ambiance was standard for a fast casual eatery.

I'm going to give it a 5, but there were few dings. Great interior. Lots of room. Nice people…read more Very authentic. Everyone seemed to be Arab, which is what you want in a Middle Eastern place. I'm Lebanese who had a mother who was a great cook. I know what I'm talking about . The menu has several dishes that are real home cooking. I had several appetizers, which is the way to do it. Hummus, teboule, grape leaves, falafel, all good. I thought the kibbie was too much bulgur on the outside shell. My mother made them meatier. The ones here had a crunch. Too much burger. Service was very nice. They were a little short staffed at lunch, but that was ok. This is not your usual Lebanese place. The menu has depth. I'm from out of town, but Golden Grill is the real deal. You can tell by how many Arab people were eating there.

Lebanese and Syrian Style on Mediterranean Cuisine is something new to me. The food is seasoned…read morewith lots of herbs and spices. The 3 plates that I had today was mainly seasoned with curry, cumin, tumeric, and star anise. The salt was perfectly seasoned and very light to enhance all of the flavors. CHICKEN KABAB PLATE (8ct) - Rice, Hummus, Fattoush Salad, Pitta Bread - $18.99 :: It's a bit sad the chicken is very dry. It seems to be oven roasted or something, due to the overly dry texture and the char on the outside. The juice were striped out of the chicken. I could be wrong but the chicken is way to dry. But, good news that it's perfectly seasoned. It's a bit of everything seasoned on this chicken, but very light. I can taste the strong cumin and curry seasoning. The salt was on point. (RATE : 2/5) This plate comes with your choice of rice, fries, or bulghur and 2 cold appetizers of your choice. I picked rice, hummus, and fattoush salad. The RICE is seasoned with light on curry. The cumin and star anise seems to be a bit over powering the curry on the rice. The rice was perfectly made. It was fluffly and soft. The rice taste like it was freshly made (RATE : 5/5). The HUMMUS wasn't what I was expecting. I can't taste the nuttyness on this dish. It doesn't have much seasoning or taste. It's a bit plain (RATE : 1/5). Lastly, the FATTOUSH SALAD. I was a bit dissapointed. The salad dressing doesn't have any flavor to it. All the vinegar drip down to the bottom and you cant taste it much. The dressing was very light here. I wish the salad could be a bit bigger to grab instead of shredded (RATE : 2/5). OVERALL on this plate I would give it a RATING of 2.5/5. I can see potential and it's not bad. SAJ - KAFTA - SANDWHICH COMBO - Fries, Labneh, Pickled Salad - $12 :: For the sandwhiches menu, they have an option for SAJ or PITA. I wanted to try the saj for today. The only difference is that the saj does not have yeast so it's flatter than the pita. It just depends on your choice if you want a breadier wrap or skinny wrap. They taste exactly the same. The KAFTA is a texture of patty. It was a mixure blend of a couple different meat like beef and lamb. The taste and texture just taste exactly like a juicy burger on the first bite. The gameyness from the lamb was very light and the labneh helps mellow it down a lot. All of the seasoning was on point (RATE : 5/5). The FRIES were on point. It was freshly out of the oil. Nicely salted and seasoned. (RATE : 5/5) The LABNEH was also awesome. It taste like a softer and lighter version of horseradish. I believe it was made out of yogurt. (RATE : 5/5) The PICKLED SALAD taste just like out of the jar. Nothing special here. (RATE : 3/5) OVERALL : I'll give this sandwhich combo a RATING 5/5. SAJ - GOLDEN GRILL - SANDWHICH COMBO - Fries, Labneh, Pickled Salad - $16 :: The golden grill meat was a mixture of shreded chicken, beef, and sujuk. The texture was perfectly softened and juicy. Ive never had many texture of meat together before. Biting into it, every little bite feels weird. There's too many texture. I'm not a big fan but the meat it self is just perfectly soft, tender, and juicy. The seasoning is lightly seasoned with salt cumin, curry and star anise. RATE: 3/5 AMBIANCE : It's a very fancy shop with nice decorations. I love the dark oak masculine and modern decorations and a touch of gold. They have a few of Turkish pictures and decorations around the building.There's lots of seatings and its very spacious. The tables are neat and clean. They have soft Syrian music on. There's not much guest there so it's very quiet. RATE : 5/5 SERVICE : Friendly and attentive service. I wasn't sure how to order and the young gentlemen helped my with my order. The wait was a good 15 minute long for 3 plate. They cook everything fresh and hot. RATE : 5/5 OVERALL : Great location for a little hangout or a date. The interrior is very romantic with those cute little Turkish lamp. I would totally recommend giving them a try. Maybe not the chicken kabab but something else. Their seasoning are on point. The seasoning is strong but it's not over powering. And again, this is Lebanese and Syrian style on Mediterranean Cuisine which includes lots of turmeric and curry taste. Last thing I want to add is that their price on these plates are on a bit pricey side. But the portions are pretty huge so it's worth it.

Golden Grill - Kids Chicken Kabob was delicious. Love the hummus and rice pilaf as well. All very flavorful. 5 out of 5.

This original location remains my recommended spot for Mediterranean food. Many Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in Fresno County are Armenian-owned, while only a small handful--like this family-run restaurant--specialize in Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese food is widely considered among the best expressions of Mediterranean cooking due to its vibrant use of fresh ingredients, particularly herbs, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, along with a strong emphasis on healthy, plant-based, and grilled dishes. It offers diverse, shareable, and nutrient-dense options such as tabbouleh, hummus, and falafel, making it both flavorful and nutritious. I always enjoy dining at Golden Grill because they exemplify Lebanese cuisine so well. Their dishes highlight fresh herbs like mint and parsley, along with garlic and lemon juice, rather than relying heavily on spices. The result is a light, refreshing, and aromatic flavor profile that feels both vibrant and balanced. The kebabs are excellent. The grilled cubes of beef, chicken, and kafta (ground beef and lamb) skewers are flavorful, tender, and juicy, topped with herbs and grilled to perfection. They carry a subtle smokiness and savory aroma, and the meats are beautifully charred with vibrant color. Their pita and saj sandwiches are also very well done. Each sandwich is warm and carefully assembled, forming a sturdy pocket filled with high-quality ingredients. They combine savory meats (or falafel and vegetables), creamy sauces, and crunchy pickles and onions into a balanced bite. The bread holds generous fillings without collapsing while still being tender enough to bite through easily. The pocket opens cleanly, creating the perfect pouch for the ingredients. For a small restaurant with limited seating that appears to receive many to-go orders, the presentation for dine-in guests is especially thoughtful. The dishes are served on clean white ceramic plates and trays, with the food carefully arranged and portions balanced. It is simple yet elegant and visually appealing. Golden Grill also captures the Lebanese mezze-style dining experience. As someone of Korean heritage, I appreciate this approach, since it is similar to how Korean meals are served with many shared dishes that provide variety in every meal. Some of the shared plates include Lebanese staples like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, and fresh flatbread. Everything here tastes fresh and well-prepared, with distinct textures and aromatic flavors. The signature entrées come with two cold appetizers. The hummus is silky smooth, a velvety blend of garbanzo beans and tahini that almost melts in your mouth. The baba ghanouj is creamy, garlicky, and finished with olive oil. The tabbouleh is bright and balanced with lemon juice, garlic, and a generous drizzle of olive oil that ties together the citrusy and earthy flavors. The restaurant itself is clean, with tables and chairs wiped down quickly after guests leave. Service is friendly, welcoming, and helpful when placing orders. Prices are also reasonable, especially considering many competing Mediterranean restaurants do not place the same emphasis on presentation or on creating a mezze-style dining experience at no additional cost. While some may prefer other Mediterranean cuisines, I personally enjoy the fresh, light, and diverse flavors that Lebanese food offers. Golden Grill's citrus-forward dishes and extensive mezze options make it one of my favorite Mediterranean spots.

I cant believe that I haven't reviewed this restaurant yet- I have been here at least 10 times…read morealready. My wife and I 's go to is the number 3 combo - which is a chicken and beef kabob plate. The meat is so tender, juicy and flavorful- you don't even need a knife to cut through it. This meal is perfection and I wouldn't change a thing. My only recommendation is to add the hot sauce to it to dip your steak and chicken in it. Trust me, the extra 75 cents is worth it. The meal comes standard with rice, humus, cucumber/ tomato salad and pita bread. My wife and I always opt for the bulgur rice pilaf which has a chewier texture than the standard rice pilaf. To me , this is the best Mediterranean food that I have ever had - anywhere! This is the restaurant that I compare all other places to . Go now - you won't be disappointed!

My husband and I actually started coming here because we received a gift certificate on our wedding day, so every visit has always been meaningful to us. Unfortunately, our most recent visit completely changed how I feel about this restaurant. Our waitress was Brenda (a middle-aged Caucasian woman with glasses). I want to be clear about who served us because my receipt also listed the name Brenda, and I would hate for another employee to receive this review by mistake. We were seated fairly quickly even though it was a very busy night and the restaurant was full. I want to say upfront that I completely respect how hard servers work, and I understand busy nights happen. However, after sitting for quite a while without anyone taking our order, I politely told Brenda that we were ready. I am diabetic and was not feeling well, so the wait was starting to affect me. Her response was, "Sorry, we're really busy tonight and there are only three of us waitressing." I understood that they might be short staffed, but at the very least she could have taken our drink order. Instead, she continued cleaning tables and serving other customers. I watched four different tables get seated after us and receive drinks, salads, and appetizers before we even placed our order. As someone who has been coming here for years, I have never felt so uncomfortable or overlooked in this restaurant. In 2026, no customer should feel that way anywhere. When our food finally came, everything arrived at once -- our hummus, salad, and entrée -- which made the experience feel rushed and poorly handled. When I asked Brenda for more napkins, she never returned to our table. We eventually had to go to the register ourselves to pay because she never brought our check. Before leaving, I explained to her how the situation made me feel. She responded with several explanations about being busy and short staffed, but that was never the real issue. The issue was the way we were treated. She forgot who we were all night but when it came to pay my tab, she definitely knew what table we were sitting at because her response was. I'll get your tab for table 3.. The food was amazing as it has always been, but sadly the service we received completely ruined the experience. After nearly nine years of coming here, this will unfortunately be my last visit.

They actually piled a bunch of shredded chicken that was super dry on top of extra lettuce to make it look like I got a bunch of chicken. But that wasn't the case and unfortunately, I got cheated out of some chicken. to make matters worse when you complain the DoorDash instead of refunding you the full meal, they only give you 10 bucks back after you spent over $45 for a dinner. This is a shame restaurants are doing this more often when they are skipping back on the food and the material when it's through DoorDash and then DoorDash does not hold them accountable.
