My buddy did his birthday here a few weeks ago. They have really good prices per chair, their food is delicious and the spot is perfect for small parties of 30-40 people. The service was great as well. Our servers were very friendly and professional. This might be my go to spot for small events read more

We were in the area and had a hankering for some good Armenian /Middle Eastern food . The good stuff first : Chicken was delicious, perfectly cooked and fresh. Vegetables combo plate was delicious Loved it Pita chips , thin and crunchy... fresh ... I would buy some to go . The not so good stuff: They sat us , a party of 4 at a very small table that was uncomfortable and our plates barely fit. My legs were hitting my wife and kids . The worse part is that there was an entire open larger table . The waitress was young and seemed inexperienced and uninterested. We felt like we were bothering her . I would order food to go from here but not dine in . read more

Hidden gem!!!! We were going to another Mediterranean place, but that place did not have seating. So we quickly Yelped and found this place!! We parked in the street. I think they recently opened. There was nobody inside. Beautifully decorated and with a piano up in the window! We picked our table and was immediately served hummus and pita chips. I'm not a hummus person, but this fish was delicious, but the thin and crispy pita chips put the combo over the top! I wanted to try everything so we decided on the chef's combo cuz it had the lamb chop and other meats with rice and pita. Oh... don't forget the side salad that comes on the plate! I usually don't like salad, but these had the Persian cucumbers, tomatoes, and a wonderful dressing! Meats were tender and juicy. Of course the lamb was the best! Don't neglect the rice! Perfectly cooked! Even the roasted jalapeno was on point! We also ordered baba ganoush. Also amazing! Hummus and the baba ganouch is the perfect glue to hold everything together! The lady who served us is precious! She barely spoke English and tried her best to communicate. Well it ended up that she worked in the kitchen. The server called out or something. Absolutely love and admire her effort! That combo was only $24! The baba ganoush, like $5/6? If I went to Georgie's or some other restaurant, it would have been so much more expensive! Trying to take my others friend there to introduce them! Until next time! read more

The food was delicious mouthwatering! Definitely made with love. Good service beautiful ambience.

Really good Armenian BBQ--tasty, fresh, and well-prepared. Everything felt clean and the service was easy and reliable.

The food was fantastic. We shared beef schwarma and baby back ribs. Both came with a wonderful salad, Jasmin rice, humus and freshly made chips. I will definitely return to Asteria and order for delivery. Asteria is a new favorite. read more

The starter's humus, without ordering is very tasty and the pita chips. Nice relaxing crisp music in the background that soothes you. Chef's Special is delicious Piano for live music read more

I found this place by accident, and I'm so glad I did. At first I was a little hesitant because the restaurant was fairly empty, so I read some reviews while I waited. They all said the food was great and they were absolutely right. The flavors were fantastic and everything was perfectly cooked, not overdone at all. I have to give a big thumbs‑up to the chef; the food was that good. I truly recommend this place, especially since they just opened not too long ago. It would be great to get the word out so they can start drawing in the crowd they deserve. read more

Asteria Restaurant - Filet mignon, chicken and lamb! - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

My wife and i got here at around 4pm and were immediately seated. The waitress was very attentive and well informed about the menu. The ambiance in the restaurant was very calm, calm piano music filled the dining room and really allowed for calm conversations. Ordered the Chef's combo and the Beef schwarma. Both were delicious but the chef's combo offered more variety, and that house salad that the plates come with, was incredibly refreshing. read more

We had a pleasure to visit this restaurant today to celebrate my husband's bday. I called in yesterday and the representative by the name Michael was very helpful. Today, we were greeted by 2 staff and there were kind. The restaurant is clean and very inviting. They had the calm piano music playing as we eat. The waitress is super attentive and served us with a smile. She made sure that we had all we need. Food was also delicious especially the salad. I will definitely return and recommend this place!!! Thank you for the wonderful customer service!!! We enjoyed everything. read more

This place is a delight. I 100% recommend it! The food is fresh and deliciously cooked, the staff is extremely friendly, and there's usually little to no wait to get a table read more

Asteria Restaurant - Delish - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Some of the dishes were very tasty (chicken luleh, tzatziki) but others were disappointing. The complimentary humus was nice to have, but it was bland. The lamb chops were over-cooked. The baklava for dessert did not seem fresh. Surely there are better choices in Glendale for Armenian/Middle Eastern food. read more

Fantastic place! Foods and drinks and atmosphere are all outstanding! Mike is a great person to work on the menu, he's very down to earth personality! Love this place so much! Prices are great! read more

Everything exceeded our expectations. The portions were generous and everything tasted fantastic. Thanks for a lovely meal! read more

Nadia was the only server that spoke English and she was attentive;she handed the bill to my friend and almost forgot to pay the bill but Nadia patiently waited-I would gladly recommend this place read more

The place looks clean. The servers were very friendly and the food tasted excellent. Great ambiance.

My wife wanted a chicken wrap for dinner tonight. I found Asteria, a quaint restaurant away from the traffic and people of downtown Glendale. Located on the corner of Pacific and Palm, this restaurant has the look and feel of a family restaurant serving Mediterranean style food. I ordered a chicken wrap for my wife and a falafel for myself. My wife loves the chicken but did not care for the yogurt sauce. She likes the Greek version that uses Tzatziki sauce. My falafel was good. I liked that they made it with dill pickles. Large wraps for $10. Great value. DJ's rating; 4.35/5.00 Would I come back? Yes. read more

Hidden Gem! I come to Glendale once or twice a month for business and decided to try some of the local restaurants. Well today, I found Asteria restaurant on Pacific Ave. and it did not disappoint. I was greeted by a very kind and polite server who took excellent care of me for the entire meal. I decided to try it because it already had a high rating of 4.8 stars on Yelp, which I truly believe now should be a five 5! When I sat down, they served me a complementary appetizer of hummus and pita chips that was delicious homemade and perfectly seasoned. I decided to try their chicken breast kebab, which was served with salad, rice and tomato and the chicken was cooked to perfection the entire dish was plated beautifully, and best of all I found the prices to be extremely reasonable. The ambience was chill and relaxed and I'd be lying If I didn't tell you I happily cleaned my plate. Asteria is definitely a find I told them I wouldn't change a thing and I look forward to coming back again and again. If you're up in the air and deciding where to go for delicious Mediterranean cuisine, this is your place. Enjoy!! read more

So glad I found this place! Food here was so delicious and also there was someone playing piano live - such a lovely dining experience. I ordered the lule combo which was delicious. The meat was packed with flavor and the salad on the side was really fresh. Portion sizes were generous too. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Working as a teacher in Glendale, I often pick up Mediterranean Kbob plates to go. I decided to try a new place on my list, Asteria. I ordered the chicken breast Kbob plates, a bit dry and overly spiced. The filet mignon plate meat was very stringy, almost seven-bone roast texture and not very tender. On Yelp reviews, the customer said they received complimentary humus, which was not included, only a 'yellow' and 'red' sauce for the chicken and beef. I called in my order at 2:30pm and told it would be 20 minutes. I did not leave the restaurant until 3:10pm. There were no other customers dining or waiting for an order to go. Very disappointing compared to the servive or quality at Caravan on Glenoaks or the small eatery, Lemon Zest on Chevy Chase. read more

Found this out of the way place near embassy suites in Glendale. What a delight. They helped find us a parking spot (husband disabled). Food was unbelievable. We had the combo meat trio, chicken and steak, chicken combo and veggie combo. Ordered a side of falafel which was the best I've had since my trip to Egypt. Since everything is homemade ( sauces and hummus) we tried the baklava for dessert. I'm not a big fan normally of baklava but this was amazing. If you're near this area it's a must try for food. read more

I came here on a cold night and was delighted that it was quite warm, and the food was delicious! The pomegranate in the tabbouleh was very refreshing. And the staff clearly cared about the customers. Great place! read more

The service was terrible and slow. The waitress first thought it was to go after telling her we were eating there. Then they gave me a gyro plate instead of the gyro wrap that I ordered. But I'm giving this place 5 stars because the food was amazing. I've gone to Armenian heaven. The hummus was amazing read more

Deliciousness. Very friendly service and fancier than it looks from the outside. Large portions.

Great restaurant! The chicken plate was absolutely delectable. My family and I went here for Mother's Day's and we have nothing but nice things to say about the restaurant. We will certainly tell our friends and family members about this restaurant. Thanks Michael and the rest of the Asteria team! read more

Ordered from Uber eats. And let me say this food is amazing! It's fresh, tasty and a great portion! The chicken is juicy and not dry! I took a bite and I couldn't wait to take a picture.. read more

Asteria Restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

The food is amazing great taste and the portions are big ... love it I totally recommend it

We love Asteria--for its quiet ambience, casual elegance, delicious Mediterranean food, attentive service, and hospitality. While the menu offers a variety of fine meats, fish, and salads with familiar-sounding names and descriptions, all of the food has a subtly unique flavor profile. Service is commendable whether provided for take-out, delivery, small group dine-in, or buffet for a larger group. Customer care is paramount. Without the slightest hesitation, it graciously agreed to ensure smooth delivery of an order of its Family Special (10-12 People) to our somewhat remote picnic area approximately 11 miles away from the restaurant. Delivery was carried out without a hitch. Recently, we hosted a party of 17 at a buffet dinner there to celebrate a birthday. While our own choice of music played through Asteria's audio system, we received the benefit of the culinary creativity, artistry, and skills of its chefs for a few hours. Our group eagerly awaited the perfectly choreographed arrival of each new item being sent to the buffet table and then savored every bite of each presentation--appetizers, salads, meats, and fish alike. Everything was exquisitely prepared. We left thoroughly sated and plan to return again and again. (This review is our way of saying "thank you" to the individual whose review led us to Asteria.) read more

There are so many buy one get one free combos and plates on postmates. The chef combo we ordered has a huge kabab, a lamb leg, a large piece of chicken, a large piece of pork, and a large piece of beef. It's really a lot and worth the money read more

I had a similar experience as a previous reviewer as I needed food for a social event on Saturday. I had never tried the food at Asteria Restaurant, but was accommodated by Michael who provided a sample of their food. I tried the samples and immediately placed an order for 15-18 people which was ready on time when I returned to pick up at 5:15 PM that day. Great food, nice people and vibe. Enjoy read more

Tried this for the first time tonight. Delicious Filet and Koobideh! Hummus was great with homemade, lite pita chips. Will definitely be back read more

The meals we ordered were excellent! Delicious, seasoned well, cooked over the grill perfectly. We got a few dishes and everything was sumptuous. Looking forward to coming back. Even the pita chips w/ hummus as a table appetizer, was spot on yummy. The Waiter was really nice too. Thanks Asteria! read more

The team here is great. I had the pleasure of hosting a party here in December, they allowed me to book the entire place for the night with full service and entertainment. The owners treat you like family and make sure you have the best experience. Their pricing is also so fair, it's hard to believe how good it is. They were very flexible to what I wanted the party to look alike and accommodated as needed. I wish I had better pictures of the initial time of the party, but here's what I could find. The food was a hit with my guests, everyone said their kabob was great. I personally loved all the side dishes too! read more

Louise is a very nice waiter Great waiter. What a pleasure having him serve us. He made all of us welcomed

Went to this place yesterday with my wife and 2 kids and when we entered the place they were having a private event. This gentleman came and approached us and I told him we would like to try their food because we have been looking for a mediterranean restaurant around Glendale. The placed was already full inside the restaurant but this person offered us if we could sit outside. At first I thought he was just going to drive us away and say No just like other places but this person served us good customer service. He set a table for us and next thing you know , a young lady came to take our order. She served us chips with hummus on the side and it was so good. We ordered the family package that's good for 5-6 people and it was a mixture of meat. Despite them being busy because of the private event that was going on, they still had the time to come by and ask us if we needed anything. Overall it was the good customer service and the food was extremely delicious. I recommend this place to everyone and will definitely come back. read more

WOW!!!! So first off, I want to say I ordered from Asteria through Uber eats. I also want to warn that this review is long but please read through cause it's worth it. My daughter was having a pool party at my house for her 28th bday and she requested my Greek husbands popular lemon chicken that he famously grills. As her bday grew closer we quickly realized just how HOT that day was going to be and we decided it was going to be too hot to grill and she agreed to ordering kabobs. I had only a couple of days to find a good restaurant that prepares amazing kabobs, can deliver, has fairly good reviews, and is reasonably priced for large portions. Asteria checks ALL those boxes!!! I've never eaten at Asteria before so I took a chance and blindly ordered for a crowd of 20 people. I ordered the FAMILY SPECIAL that says it feeds 15-18 people. AGAIN, WOW! The food was EXCEPTIONAL. DELICIOUS. All The meats were so juicy and flavorful. The salad was out of this world good. The rice was unique and delicious. The portions were large and they did not skimp on anything. Everything was packed very professionally! Everyone at the party was raving about the food and some begged to take some home after the party but sadly for them there wasn't any leftovers. One of these days I will have to visit the restaurant and eat inside. For now, I will recommend to everyone I know Thank you for making delicious food for my daughters birthday and satisfying everyone. read more

They have excellent service!... Went there tonight...with my husband and son.. we all loved it. Reasonable prices.. Their food is so good!! We often go eat kabob, and have been to many places , but this one is very good! They give you pita chips and hummus as a complimentary appetizer & the portions are very good. Food is very fresh, unlike other places. A very nice, clean good environment with piano music playing in the background.. read more
