I moved to Long Beach in 2020 and have since missed Armenian food. Thankfully, my dogs veterinarian is still in Glendale so it was the perfect excuse to stop by a local Armenian mom and pop. Backyard BBQ is as authentic as it can get, it's a sweet little space but they have everything necessary to make the best Armenian BBQ. Warning! This place is for people that like food well seasoned and flavored. Please don't come here if your taste buds can't even handle Tajin. The owners are a hardworking couple with a hospitable attitude, which doesn't surprise me as someone that grew up with Armenians. They were super kind and generous with the portions. The meat is grilled right in front of you and as you can imagine the smells are heaven sent. It was worth the drive!

This place got my attention because it smelled soooo good. Not only did it taste as good as it smelled, its family operated as well. Very kind people blessed me with food that tasted as fresh as I have had food and I will be bringing everyone I know that respects handcrafted food

COME HERE NOW. Incredible food, nothing was dry or bland. Feels made with love. You can tell the quality is not an afterthought. Good price considering the portions and quality. VERY kind people running the place.

Family owned and run small Kabob and Lula Café, in a corner of a neighborhood strip mall. I thought I would take a chance as sometimes these small eateries can surprise with great food. I was right. Rafael, one of the owners greeted me warmly as we came in for lunch. There is only two small tables that seat 6 persons total. A large display case has a variety of marinated meats visible, and another for drinks-non alcoholic but including my fave yogurt drink and Mexican sodas. The marinated chicken breast kabob eclipses some of the best around. Moist, flavorful and generous portions are served. The Chicken Lula is good as well. Great people and a real surprise!

Food here was excellent! This was my first time trying Armenian food and gosh it was super good ! Service was good and the time to wait for food was pretty quick as well! The food itself is absolutely delicious. The place itself is a little small but regardless very clean and subtle. Highly recommend this place !

Wow. That's all. This place is legit. The filet shish kabob…read morewas so tender and perfectly spiced. I could have eaten that all day. The chicken was juicy and mouthwatering deliciousness. The lamb was gamey, packed with flavor. We enjoyed every bite and can't wait to try this place out again. We ordered takeout, food was ready on time, service was great. Parking is a bit challenging since it's only street parking, but that's Montrose :P

The Seasoning Alley Mediterranean restaurant in Montrose…read more showed promise but landed somewhere in the middle. Here are some impressions from our visit earlier today. The restaurant is a casual, clean spot and has a welcoming environment. Service was attentive and friendly. Our salad was fresh and delicious and the meal portions were large and plentiful. Good hearty sized plates but low on taste and quality. Unfortunately, the pita was one of many low points. The pita arrived cold and slightly stiff, not warm and soft as we'd hoped. It lacked the toasty, chewy texture that makes pita so comforting and effective for scooping up dips and bites. Another low point was that our rice was barely warm, almost cold. Not good. The worst part of our meal had to be the hummus. It was almost frozen and tasted as if it was just scooped out of the freezer. Terribly disappointing. Our Chicken Kabob had a tender interior with a nicely charred exterior. The spices and marinade showed potential, but the overall flavor profile didn't quite soar beyond the ordinary. Wouldn't call it standout, yet it wasn't bad. It was just barely okay. The falafel tasted fresh, but the exterior could have used a bit more crispness. Interior was moist enough, with chickpea flavor present, though it didn't leave a lasting impression. Our overall impressions were that our meals were just barely okay for a casual dinner, but it didn't move into the "great" category. We were disappointed. We expected better quality. For improvement, heating the pita and rice to perfection and dialing in the falafel crust would elevate the overall experience. A touch more depth in the chicken kabob seasoning or a signature sauce could help distinguish the dishes. If you're in the mood for a low-key Mediterranean option with reliable service, this spot is worth a try. It's a safe bet for an okay meal, with good service and good size portions for a casual night out with friends or family. Considering their prices, for repeat visits, I'd hope to see more consistency across staples like the rice, pita and falafel, and a bolder finish on the kebabs to push the overall rating from "good but not great" to "really good." Pita and rice arrived cold. The Falafel could have been crisper. Chicken kabob flavor could be more distinct. The Hummus was horrible. Next time, I'll pass on this place. Cheers!

The restaurant itself was extremely clean, beautifully maintained, and had an inviting environment that made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Our server, Zubi, provided absolutely spectacular service from beginning to end. Zubi was attentive, professional, patient, and incredibly helpful while explaining the menu and offering recommendations. Everyone on the staff was polite, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing experience. The food was truly outstanding and some of the most authentic Indian cuisine we have ever tasted. Every dish was made fresh to order, served hot, and packed with incredible flavor. You could immediately taste the quality, freshness, and authenticity in every bite. The spices were perfectly balanced, the food was extraordinarily delicious, and every dish was prepared with obvious care and attention to detail. Not only was the food exceptional, but it also came out very quickly without sacrificing quality. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. The flavors were rich, comforting, and unforgettable. This was easily a five-star dining experience in every way possible -- excellent service, authentic and flavorful food, a warm environment, and outstanding hospitality. We will absolutely be coming back again and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for truly amazing Indian cuisine.

They had parking in the back which is a plus in contrast to the paid parking available in the street. The inside is long and narrow, with spacious booth seating. I ordered the lunch chicken tikka. It was buttery and creamy. The chicken was tender. The dish was served with rice and naan. The naan was outstanding with a toasty, crispy exterior and pillowy soft interior. The rice was fried with other ingredients. The dish also came with a salad that was less than appetizing, I didn't eat much of it. Overall, I'd probably come back. But only for lunch.

Excellent Food tasty ,clean, delicious…read more This restaurant is a really good one, with excellent food quality, very clean, and a place where you can get dishes that would cost a lot more elsewhere, at the same quality, but for a more reasonable price. The staff are very kind, the ambience is absolutely great, and honestly, it's a place I'd say you must try. From the stews, especially if you love chicken stew, to the chicken kebabs, which are amazing, you will really enjoy it. I hope they keep doing more and more of this, and we can all enjoy more of it!

I consider myself an educated foodie and Kabob Village checks off my "quality and taste"…read moreconsiderations. Their shirazi salad is beautifu!!! All vegetables are clean and well prepared with cut consistency... the chef has impeccable knife skills. Their salmon kabob plate is generous with 6 large pieces of salmon which comes with the usual grilled tomato, pepper and house made pita bread which I could write a chapter just on their bread. This is a small establishment with enough room to dine in. The owner is very friendly and it's clear his business is his purpose. This place is a must visit restaurant. They offer a wide variety of menu options to meet the desires of vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and good old meat eaters. They offer large event catering orders too. Give this place a try... I"m sure this place will become a usual favorite; it certainly is for me. ENJOY!

We get takeout from here a lot. Open till 1 am and they cook everything on charcoal! It's SO good…read moreand they give you a good amount of meat. We always add an extra half portion of stuff. Everyone has been very kind and friendly, small business family owned shop with lots of different folks helping out. There's an area to eat outside and a couple tables inside, but to-go is always good. They have a drink fridge stocked full of stuff. They used to have this beet salad that was SO good. We just went today and it was crossed off the menu, please please please bring it back if you see this!! Tried to make it myself tonight and it did not turn out quite right. Definitely come here whenever you have the craving for some delicious kebabs.

Ho-ly, I haven't been here since sometime in 2025, but things have gotten bizarro dire…read more I don't know if they had to cut costs or lost their head chef or what, but every component from the hummus to veggies to protein to the sauces are all visually similar, but incredibly inferior versions of themselves. Tonight I got the beef shwarma plate and suddenly the shwarma is flavorless and bone dry, the hummus has the texture of an old bowl of oatmeal and or like a bad tuna salad, the "cucumber salad" seemed to be missing both citrus *and* oil, and worst of all? The sauces! What happened?! They used to have a dilly yogurt and like a meatloaf-style spicy ketchup. Now? It's like a wet marinara and a lumpy, gray-white thousand-island. This place went from hidden gem to extremely disappointing. Do not go here, it's a ghost of its former self. Something has gone horribly awry. They don't even have their refrigerator of quality sides any longer--my wife is gonna miss their borscht most of all.
