Delicious food friendly service. We ordered wraps and fries all were delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful, JacobV educated us on the ordering process and gave us suggestions for next time. He and the other staff made an effort to get to know us. There are some tables to eat there but it's kinda small. There was plenty of parking. I will return and order another wrap.

I ate here on a Wednesday and from Thursday to Monday, I had an upset stomach. Employee was nice. Small parking lot for the plaza. Might be difficult to find parking on busy times. Food definitely was not fresh. The hummus was very dry for some reason. The rice was also not fresh. On a good note, I lost some weight.

Love their pork kabob, it's a must !!!!

Best beef and chicken kebab combo in Glendale, CA!

Best food and customer service in town! Huge shoutout to Varuz for truly going above and beyond to take care of me, that level of service doesn't go unnoticed. I've been coming here for the past 9 years, and not only is the food still just as amazing as I remember, but the experience keeps getting better.

I can't deny, one of the best shawarmas I have had in a while. They do have a lamb shawarma, which is somewhat a rarity these days. I got the Lamb Shawarma Wrap with lavash and it was great. Very classic Armenian style, nothing extra, just the meat, veggies, herbs, and the sauce. They use real charcoal for their grills so I am definitely coming back to try more.

Food was great, as was the service!! Drink made in house (the Basil one) was delicious! The restaurant was clean and chill. The staff were very friendly! Definitely try everything we ordered and you won't be disappointed

So I don't usually write reviews, but I HAD to for this place. Everything we got was incredible. The beef plate was perfectly seasoned and so flavorful, the pork fries were next level (seriously so good), and the dolma and tzatziki were fresh and delicious. Every single thing we tried was a hit, but what really made this place special was the customer service! They were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely cared about us having a good experience. They even gave us free banana pudding, which was amazing! You can tell they take pride in their food and how they treat people. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to everyone. amazing food and staff was so kind &helpful!!!

OMG fries (pork)

I've been coming here for years and the device is always 5-star. Food is sooooo good!read more

The best Iranian food I've had (bar none) and probably the most delicious meal I've had this year…read morethus far! Raffi's Place was my most anticipated restaurant on my SoCal trip. The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!

Great spot for Armenian food! The setting is casual and doesn't have a ton of seating, so we took…read moreour food to go. The portions are large so we were able to share! 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. All the sides in the combo were good too - especially the hummus! The greek salad was a nice complement, and again really large portion. 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!
