First off, it was a Friday night so it was very busy - we were walk-ins and we had to wait 30-45 minutes. They have a place in the back outside with benches so that was thoughtful. The atmosphere inside was warm and friendly. The service and staff was efficient. Our waiter was Marco who was very friendly and visited us often to see if we were enjoying ourselves. The food we ordered was the Shish Kabob made with chunks of tender filet mignon, Rack of Lamb, and Salmon entree. They were kind enough to combine and make it family style for us. The meats were tender and the Salmon was flaky and moist - so delicious that we ordered another round of them LOL! Will definitely be back! By the way, there's public parking on Artsakh Ave - 90 minutes free and cheap hourly after.

Made reservations, but according to the host, the reservation cancels after 15 minutes of not showing. Place was not full at all. Got the Veggie Sampler for Two for $15, Carousel Combo for $25, and Sarma for $10. For the Carousel Combo we got the Lula or ground beef Kebab and Lamb Shish Kebab for $4 more and substituted the cabbage salad to Lentil Soup for $2. We also got the bulgur instead of rice, fried, or fire roasted vegetables. The food was all amazing. The Sarma was on the sour side, but good. Would come back.

We got the beef and chicken plate and Greek salad. This was enough for 3 of us to share! The beef and chicken were tender and marinated well.

I really enjoyed the meal and would recommend if you're looking for Armenian food!

I finally tried Mini Kabob and it was all that and more…read more I ordered the chicken and beef plate with rice and hummus (yes to the hummus), and the chicken was incredibly well-seasoned and juicy -- so good. Only note for next time: I'll ask for it a little more well-done (just personal preference... I like my chicken with a little extra bite ). The eggplant caviar was solid and a generous portion, but the real standout? The Caesar wrap. It completely lived up to the hype -- bold, flavorful, and honestly addictive. I almost ordered a second one to take home. Also worth mentioning: the son of the owner who took my order was super friendly and had great customer service, even with a long line. He kept things moving while still being engaging, which I appreciated. I was excited to hear they're opening a Studio City location -- I'll definitely be back. This place is a must. Get the Caesar wrap.

A strong five stars without a doubt! After hearing that Los Angeles County is home to a large…read moreArmenian population, I knew we had to try their cuisine. By chance, I happened to see this restaurant was just a few minutes from our hotel. With the promising ratings, and seeing that it's a humble independent restaurant, I selected Adana with enthusiasm. The restaurant's space is fairly small with just a few tables, and at 4:00PM, a couple of customers were finishing up their meals when we entered. We asked our waitress about the size of the entrées and she mentioned they are pretty large since they include salad, hummus and pita. That said, we decided to order three entrees for the four of us to share, specifically two of the Combination and one Soltani Combo. Our waitress had a wonderful idea of serving everything family style. All the meat and rice literally came on a platter, with bowls of salad, hummus and seasoned onions on the side. Alongside all of this, she brought out a basket with two types of pita - one soft, and the other toasted. It was a TON of food! + COMBINATION DINNER ($25.99): Including chicken, beef and looleh (ground lamb kabob), this plate provides you with a perfect variety. The chicken was absolutely flawless! I normally don't describe chicken as being succulent, but this one was so juicy, and marinated with a perfect grill. It may be one of my top chicken dishes... ever! I also loved the looleh, which was flavored with onion, parsley and some warm spices. I can be hesitant to order lamb due to the gaminess, but I didn't find it too wild at all. Somehow, I missed trying a bite of the beef, but my dining companions apparently enjoyed it since they gobbled it all up before I could snatch some. + SOLTANI COMBO DINNER ($37.99): In terms of meats, this plate had cuts of filet mignon and a koobideh (ground beef) kabab. The filet mignon was pretty tender and tasted quite natural, which is how it should be enjoyed. The koobideh was also delicious, hefty with a rich beefy flavor. These dishes came with a fluffy side of rice, which tasted a little buttery. I couldn't stop eating the refreshing Persian Salad of chopped cucumber and tomato, in addition to the side of sliced marinated onions. Both of these brought a nice crunch and their acidity paired perfectly in between bites of meat. Their hummus was impeccable as well... so nutty and light, almost having a whipped consistency. The hummus of my dreams, seriously! If that wasn't enough food, I couldn't resist trying their EGGPLANT DISH ($10.99) appetizer. Also known as Kashk-e-Bademjan, fried eggplant came topped with condensed yogurt, fried onions and mint. The eggplant was sliced thin and tasted like it had a slight char. The yogurt sauce was nice and creamy with the onions adding so much flavor and the mint gave it a cool finish. Needless to say, I loved this! Our waitress was the sweetest, being so genuine and providing us with the best hospitality. She shared that the restaurant's owner uses ingredients of the utmost quality, including real saffron from abroad. I had no doubts, as I could taste the care and love that the chef poured into the dishes. Adana truly sets the bar high!

This may be the best kebab I have had in LA. I've tried so many different incredible places but the…read moresteak was so tender, the lamb was so beautifully seasoned, and the flavors were so exceptional. You can tell the staff is no nonsense and absolutely will not say that what they have is better than anywhere else, they don't compare one item on the menu to another, and when I said their kebab was my favorite he said they just do their best and there's no competition in the industry just different people doing their own thing and I love that. It really comes through in the food and the service, you get the sense that they are down to earth and no gimmicks, they believe in every single thing on the menu and it is undoubtedly fantastic. I am excited to come back and try other menu items although I will never not get the lamb because it is now my number 1 lamb in LA. The interior is simple and there's no frills. I love that but some people like more pageantry. Our server was very friendly and gave us just the right amount of telling us about the food vs letting us do our thing. Love it!

I've been eating at Cafe Bravo since 2000, so that makes me a loyal customer for over 26 years. 2.

And I have to say "yeah that'll happen." I came in recently and waited maybe ten minutes in line behind one single person who was nit picking over getting over charge or something. People who I know work here walked around at a very leisurely pace while I waited in line. Burning minutes of my precious 30in lunch break. Any one of these people could've hopped on the second register to help me but no one did. Even an older gentleman who I suspect is an owner. Went behind the counter several times to put kabobs on the grill for him and some friends but couldn't stop for two minutes to take my order. If I can't trust you guys to take my order in a timely manner, why am I spending my hard earned money at your establishment when I have very little time to eat my lunch to begin with?
