Asteria Restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

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

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

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

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

We were looking for a bite and came across Asteria. Although there was a private event going on, they accommodated us in a small table for two. The service was great. Everyone was very attentive and asked us if we needed anything, and we were served promptly. I asked if the plate came with hummus, and the owner (?) or host, was kind enough to give us a small hummus bowl on the house. The chips and hummus were flavorful and delicious. Their fries were also fresh and well seasoned. You could tell both the chips and fries were fresh, as they were hot. This was something I loved, since some places don't always have the freshest food. We got a plate, which had a great portion of food and was fulfilling. We had enough to get full and some to bring home. The decor inside and seating are all very nice and modern. The prices are also very reasonable. Overall, 10/10 and would definitely come back and/or recommend! read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

Asteria Restaurant - Most of the food was eaten by this point, but here's a picture of the setup they allowed me to have (: - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

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

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

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

The food here is just the best and unique and the family who runs this place is wonderful! The chairs are so comfy and the father is law plays a fabulous piano!!!! I can't wait to have a party here!!! It's perfect for a party!!! read more

The service was wonderful. Absolutely the best hummus and tzatziki I've ever had! Would absolutely go back!

Food was beyond delicious, I hope this business succeeds. Service was also very good, and dining area was charming.

Came here for fathers day and it was wonderful. Great looking place with amazing food. We ordered the family spread and everything was great we had so much food. Service was great and easy no issues there either. The price was spot on and including a live piano player who was a former Eurovision contestant just amazing. Thank you for a great time! read more

Amazing Armenian food, excellent customer service, beautiful ambience, Will keep coming back!

The best Armenian food excellent customer service,beautiful ambiance.I would definitely come back here again.

My wife and I stumbled across this gem of a place. While we took our newborn for a walk we were hungry and wanted to eat somewhere nearby. We were greeted by a very nice staff and the food was amazing. Very fresh Mediterranean food. I think we found our new local gem. read more

Super friendly. Great food. And the Baklava is amazing. I live close by and will be making this a dessert ritual.

I have to start by saying the quality of meat is outstanding! That said, we ordered the kabob wrap sandwiches for pickup and were incredibly disappointed. Literally lavash onion and meat, done. No sauce, cabbage salad, tomato, hummus, yogurt, something... ANYTHING to juicy this thing up. Doesn't match their menu picture/ vision at allllllll. NOT what you would expect ordering a wrap sandwich from any restaurant. More of what you expect when your in the backyard and walk up to the manghal for a quick taste straight off the grill. Lol! I'm positive the kabob plates would be absolutely delicious and the chips served with hummus are incredibly crispy thin and satisfying. Will consider coming back for full dinner instead. Cute ambience and looks like there might be live music some evenings too. read more

The food was not only good, it was plentiful. The service was excellent. Everyone was very nice to us even though we had a bunch of kids.

The service + food is really great, and the ambience is amazing!!! I definitely recommend trying this place out, beautiful for a date night too! read more

Food and service was great. Food came as fast as you could expect for hot and fresh food. Warm friendly people. Live piano music. Upscale ambiance. Price was fair. Street parking nearby. Wish they had some more beer options but other than that what else could you ask for? read more

Delicious pork shawarma plate! Excellent rice and hummus. The salad is so well dressed and tasty as well. Everything I've had here has been wonderful, can't wait to try more. Very charming environment as well, looking forward to revisiting. read more

Had lunch at Asteria today, would give 10 stars if I could. The atmosphere is great, if you are lucky there is live piano being played at times. The food was amazing. Meat was clearly fresh and portions very large, I tried the lule kabobs this time and will go back for more. The service was top notch. I am also booking the place for my birthday party as well, they are available for large private parties. read more

Best Lule I have ever ate here. The meat is top tier ..best meat ever. Spoke to the chef and they said they get their meat daily so you know it's fresh unlike food chains . The food is amazing and I come here at least once a month . Family owned and you know you will be taken care off. highly recommend read more

This restaurant is amazing. I tried many items of the menu such as chiken and beef kabob... and babaghanush and all the salads. They all are delicious and fresh. read more

Delicious fresh food and live piano made for a lovely lunch after arriving in Glendale. Thank you!

I only discovered and dined at this little place because of circumstances one day. My computer repair guy's shop is in a little motel-or-apartment-building-turned-minimall nearby, and after I dropped my laptop off for repair, I was hungry, and I noticed Asteria on the other side of the side street, with a door propped open to show that the eatery was open. So I decided to try them out. --- This restaurant is not a full-service restaurant in which a waiter or waitress comes to your table to take your order. Rather, you order at the counter, where the menu has pictures of all the entrées. Unfortunately, the selection of beverages was limited to the bottles and cans they have in a fridge, so I wasn't able to order unsweetened ice tea, which is my go-to drink because I'm diabetic (I sweeten black ice tea with artificial sweetener). One other little drawback was that they didn't have ice for the plastic cup. The room was a little bit cold because of the open door, but the overall atmosphere of the small room was nice. --- I almost always order the same entrée when I eat at an Armenian or other Middle Eastern restaurant: beef shish kabob (either filet mignon or flap meat). And that's the main item on which I rate such ethnic restaurants. The photo of the beef shish kabob showed some salad on the plate in addition to the meat, rice, and charbroiled tomato and Anaheim pepper (the long green one). I knew that I couldn't eat that salad in addition to the other food because I just can't eat a full meal at lunch like I can at dinner. So I asked them to hold the salad. --- I don't think they understood that the reason why I skipped the salad was because I didn't have room for it, because of the nice gesture they surprised me with. The nice guy behind the counter who took my order showed up at my table with a platter containing hummus and (I think) toasted pita chips. I had to politely decline because I honestly did not have room to eat it. (It just so happens that I don't like hummus, so being able to decline it for the first reason was convenient.) --- When my entrée came, I saw an ample but not super-large amount of meat; rice that was the medium-grain American type instead of the long-grain basmati that usually comes with Middle Eastern cuisine; and one regular-size tomato and pepper. Accompanying the hot food was a warmed round of pita bread, cut into 4 pieces. The food was all good, but the meat could've been jazzed up more with herbs and spices. --- I hope these nice folks respond to my feedback proactively, because I'd like to give them 5 stars some day. read more
