Place smells like Fabuloso, loool. I don't mind offices smelling like All-Purpose cleaner solutions but this is a restaurant and I just lost my appetite. Food is okay and affordable. This place is like a poor man's Raffis. read more

We ordered a combination of chicken kabob and Beef Luleh which came with two sides - we chose Humus and Ikra, rice and pita bread.We added ala carte, another order of Chicken Kabob and Lamb kabob. Our order was more than enough for two people, we actually had some left overs meat that I took home. Our favorite was the chicken kebab. It was juicy and very good flavor. The beef luleh was just okay. We found the luleh a bit dry. The lamb kabob was also good but I prefer their beef kabob. The humus was missing something, i can't pin point what was missing. But it wasn't a flavorful as it used to be. They do have Patio seating, on the side of their restaurant. I don't think they clean it every after customer. So if you want to use it, I suggest that you sanitize the table and chairs yourselves. Covid 19 is too real....So don't be lazy. The restaurant provides hand sanitizers inside by the cashiers counter. read more

Normally this place is good, but on Friday they ran out of bread for the sandwiches and of all things the garlic spread. We were so disappointed mostly with the Garlic spread! You can't have this food without the garlic spread! Disappointed for sure! read more

This is honestly my offices favorite place. Have a large meeting? bravo. Wanting a fresh filling lunch? Bravo! Best thing about this place is everything is fresh and cooked to perfection, no one leaves hungry. The takeout portions are generous, and I always end up having leftovers for dinner or lunch the next day. If you're in the Glendale area and want just good food that's healthy and easy on the wallet, Bravo is definitely the place to go. Chicken is cooked so well and seasoned just enough to stand up to the the rest of each dish. Cannot praise this more, try and you will be a life long customer. read more

Used to get from them always but they've gotten cheaper and their food is bland and doesn't taste good @ all. Seems like all these places are starting to get cheaper and not care about losing customers ,.. well u lost a whole lot with me n my recs. They hardly put any dressing for the salad are you kidding me small ranch size for a huge plate of buffet style? The yogurt was all water no salt went in the trash and let's not talk about the hummus being watered down and old like it's been there for days. The meat were so tiny like a kids order isn't that tiny. Come on now! I'll take business where they're generous and good. Thank you read more

Really disappointed in Cafe Bravo today. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the workers were super sweet. But the food was terrible. The kabob was raw inside after I specifically asked for it to be well done. The sides had all mixed together which was not appealing whatsoever. The worst part is they put the hot chicken on cold salad which wilted the entire thing. Smh. No thanks Cafe Bravo. Will not be returning. Do yourself a favor, just skip it. read more

delicious! i always order the la carte from here for to go, i love the chicken, beef, beef lule, etc. everything is so tasty, i love the texture of the chicken and beef. nice customer service, food is always ready on time. the side dishes are very good too. read more

One of my favorite spot for Mediterranean food. Thank God this is close to my place and my work. They renovated the restaurant and extended the dining area. I love the garlic sauce. I can have their garlic sauce and hummus with pita for daysssss. Shawarma plate is the best. Price is great and it's worth it. Paying for good food and good service. Servers are very friendly, and soo nice. I love this place. Kudos to my mom for introducing this to meha read more

An Armenian coworker told me about Cafe Bravo almost 20 years ago. Consistently great! I was headed there on Dec 11, 2023, and I was shocked to see the fire department. I walked away empty handed that day. I'm happy to say that Cafe Bravo was only closed for a very short period- they are open for business! read more

Ordered catering for my Christmas Eve party for about 25-30 people. Aliya helped us out with the order and she was great. We were worried about not having enough food so we ordered extra, but Aliya advised us that what we ordered would be enough (it was lol). Had we ordered more, we would have enough food to feed our entire neighborhood. I appreciate her honesty. Now on to the food, we had chicken, beef teke, and beef lule. Along with extras such as cucumber & yogurt salad, regular salad, tabbouleh, hummus, rice and fattoush. All of the food was great, everyone loved it and kept asking where we catered from. I would definitely cater from here again! read more

Cafe Bravo is a solid option for Mediterranean food. What separates them from other spots is here you can choose your sides. Usually Mediterranean places automatically add a little side salad or veggies to kabob plates, but here they have around 10 sides you can choose from to go with your meal. I always get double pasta salad with my chicken shish plate. The flavors are spot on and portions are generous. I'm deducting a star for their pita bread. It was like chewing an abba zabba candy bar. The pita bread was definitely not fresh. The place is clean and they have a nice size outdoor patio with plenty of tables. This place is right next door to a Starbucks, so the parking lot gets congested. You're better off parking in the street. The prices are fair for the quality and the amount of food. Party trays are available. read more

Best food!!! We recently placed a large order and were beyond happy with the delicious food and services. I highly recommend Cafe Bravo. read more

The service is quick, the food tastes great, and portions are well worth the price. Usually don't dine in and just get take out.

This was our first time at Cafe Bravo. In simple words it is the worst Mediterranean restaurant we have ever been too. Both the food quality and the taste are awful. And finding a piece of hair in the salad really made it super easy to give it a rating of one. I would have given it zero if that was an option. read more

If you are craving for Contemporary Middle Eastern kebabs, sandwiches & grilled meats this is the place to grab a bite to eat. I order the Beef Kabobs Plate, substituted the rice with salad plus 2 side orders Hummus and Tabbouleh The Gyro Plate comes with rice, salad, sides yogurt and cucumber and hummus. Plus a Lule Kabobs a la carte. The beef kabobs were well seasoned, juicy and tender. The Lule Kabobs the Gyro meats were a bit dry. The side salad had chucks of fresh vegetables and feta cheese and plenty of Greek olives. Tabbouleh was delicious and not too lemony. The hummus it is too commercialize need it more Tahini, garlic and lemon juice. The yogurt and cucumber had too much yogurt it was competing with the cucumber. The rice was fluffy and not overcooked. I found out it is under new management. Perhaps, need some adjustments with the new personnel to bring back the perfect seasoning on each dish. The service and the personnel were friendly and helpful. It has been one of my favorite place to order / takeout for the last 3 years. Overall, all meats are grilled on the spot the food is hot and delicious. Will definitely give an another opportunity to go back and order takeout. read more

Amazing food! Supper fresh, must come back. I came to visit my doctors and saw this place, smelled good from outside and so I thought I would give it a try. Had the chicken breast yummy! Very inexpensive for all that you get. Coming back for sure... All this for $13 omg! Unheard of. Thank you Cafe Bravo for your amazing food and service:))) read more

We decided on take out from Cafe Bravo and it was by far one of the worst Mediterranean meals I've had. I ordered the beef luleh kabab, with rice and double dolmas (stuffed grape leaves). The kabab was flavorless and as dry as a sponge. I am not even sure if it was basmati rice they served us, which is what I am traditionally used too. I don't even have words for the grape leaves...definitely not handmade. I've had canned variety that was better. I actually threw the second order out. I couldn't stomach anymore. My friend ordered the chicken luleh and that was way worse than the beef...so I spit it out. Sorry Cafe Bravo...won't be back and definitely will not be recommending you to any family or friends. There are so many other kabab options in Glendale, that I'm not worried about not returning. read more

Great... now I will have to drive back to Glendale anytime I want chicken kebabs and rice! This place is truly amazing!!!!!!!! Every dish was impeccable. From the roasted green peppers to the warm fluffy pita! I can't wait to come back read more

Always pretty good , usually get it delivered these days , usually get a kabob plate ,lamb,chicken or sometimes beef , usually get rice and a pasta salad and hummus . Usually a very nice meal . read more

Heard a lot about this place and finally got an opportunity to swing by and get something from my wife. The food is very tasty and the prices are reasonable. The establishment is clean and spacious. The staff is very polite and courteous. I ordered the chicken kabab sandwich and my wife ordered the fish kabab which was very good. The portions are decent. Overall a great place to get some good quality food. Parking may be a little difficult or perhaps I missed the parking lot. You must try out this place and see how you like it. read more

Cafe Bravo is so good, we always ask ourselves why we don't order from here more often! The chicken and beef skewers are money. The hummus is delicious. The ikra is off the hook. I always get a thing of tabouleh as well. The food is so fresh and so clean. Absolutely delicious. read more

Customer service at this place sucks. Every time I have gone there with my kids or my parents the service has always sucked. Very rude and careless. Not sure what happened to the kabab but it's so rubbery now and tasteless. Their Persian salad is horrible. I have been going to this place for a very long time. After I moved to Chino Hills I stopped going there. We recently visited my parents in Glendale and decided to order food from them, what a mistake. I surprised this place has 3.8 stars. read more

Hubby and I always order in advance. We arrive and eat our takeout there... food is always fresh and delicious. Chicken kabob, 1/2 rice 1/2 salad, hummus and ikra. The cucumber and tabouli are good too! read more

I first got to try this place when my boyfriend brought some home from work. Although a few hours old, I enjoyed his leftover lule kabob sandwich so much - especially the pickled turnips! I enjoyed it so much that I ask him (quite often) if we could go to CAFE BRAVO! We were finally in the area one night deciding on what to eat and I was finally able to get my lule kabob sandwich with an extra side of pickled turnips this time. Just as good as I remembered! My boyfriend works in the area so whenever he asks me if I want anything before he heads home, you already know what sandwich I'm asking him to get for me! I haven't tried anything else on their menu, but if their sandwich is as good as it is, I'm sure their other items are just as delicious! read more

As you all know, I am one of the very first customer of Cafe Bravo on Glenoaks Blvd in Glendale. It was an old shack back then though the food is excellent! Cafe Bravo has come a long way! Don't you agree? I decided to eat there again last Friday, December 23rd because I was craving for Lule and Kabob! I wanted to give them another chance. I was so disappointed, the food doesn't have taste at all.It is a waste of money. I don't think they will still improve. Will just go to Zankou chicken atleast their food is always tasty every time I go. Also none of their staff are wearing any mask at this time of pandemic. read more

Great food, fast service, good value! This is my go to for pickup orders when time doesn't permit me to cook something healthy myself.

Food is good but wish they had chicken lule kabobs. We came here mainly for that and were told they had none on a Monday afternoon. We were forced to order the regular lule kabobs and chicken kabob plates. We almost forgot to get garlic sauce, but luckily when I asked for it they gave us a couple small ones for free (.50¢ on the menu). Portion is pretty good, given the $10 fee for the plate meal. Not bad at all. They do have some outdoor seating on the side of their restaurant for these covid times. read more

This is the worst food I have ever eaten in my entire life. The meat was pretty much rubber it's the cheapest meat you can buy on the market. It's a chocking hazard to have meat like this. I chewed it for 5 minutes and no progress I felt like I was chewing rubber. I didn't even bother eating it I just threw it all away in the trash it should be illegal to serve food like this. I wouldn't even eat here if somebody payed me read more

Great Mediterranean food! Huuuuge portions I couldn't even eat half. I looove garlic sauce I never tried this sauce before and I'm in love now. Meat is fresh and yummy but a bit dry. I like that they let me replace rice with a Greek salad. Tables are dirty, they have to clean it more often. All 50 minutes that we were there table beside us was dirty and we left it was still dirty. I like their spinach sauce and hummus! read more

Perfect for take-out when wanting Persian/Armenian food in the area. My go-to is always the chicken kooboideh. I like the ground chicken. It's never dry. Always moist and has great flavor... The basmati rice is always a great compliment to any kabob dish and it's no exception at Cafe Bravo. You get 2 decent sized koobideh pieces. You have your choice of sides but I usually just go with the chicken & basmati rice. Just the essentials. You can add hummus or a side shirazi salad. This meal comes with pita bread... Good food, quick service. They have free lot parking or street parking along Glenoaks. Cafe Bravo is also excellent for catering orders for any size party.. They are very reliable and professional. The food has never disappointed our family & friends. read more

Fantastic service, extremely clean, delicious food. Those are just a few ways one can describe Cafe Bravo. The staff is very friendly and they're constantly looking around to help or clean or just to make sure their customers are taken care of. I ordered the Chicken Salad Plate. The plate came out so fast and wow it was delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly, the hummus was fresh and the two salad, green salad and tabooleh, were fresh and delicious. Over all my experience here was fantastic. I can't wait to go back and try more plates. read more

Seriously good eats! Ordered takeout and ate in the car... even after ordering and while waiting outside the air smelled amazing. The meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I could probably eat a huge tub of the hummus, it's that smooth and creamy and delicious. The roasted pepper had an unexpected kick of heat to it, but that and the roasted tomato were great sides. Mmmmm and don't get me started on all the delicious meat-juice-infused rice. The chicken kabob sandwich was okay, but I think I might request extra garlic spread in it next time. The bread was soft and the chicken was good. The dilled/pickled veggies were a treat. I love dill. Already planning on going back. read more

This place used to be amazing. They are going down fast, especially on the service side. - Food quality is OK, not amazing. - They serve your food in to-go containers. - they don't bring you the cheap plastic utensils, you have to get up and go back to the counter to get them. - They don't use trays to make your meal a bit presentable. See my photo of the trash bins. I would not recommend this place. read more

This is a great place for good kabobs at a reasonable price. It's a no frills place not a tablecloth kind of place. Just order at the counter and take it home or eat there. My only recommendation is..ask them to separate the kabobs from your salad if you don't order rice. I get that kabobs are usually placed on rice in a takeout order but I didn't order rice so the kabobs were set on the salad. Made for a warm salad and cooled kabobs. Still really good though. read more

Ok, a fair assessment, our company has brought in food from this place many times and I will say everything has been beyond amazing and this is food that obviously is not cooked and served to you right off the grill. All the types of kabobs, the "To Die For Chicken" basmati rice, amazing hummus and garlic paste. Let's just say this and I apologize for throwing out competition but I pretty much would never go to Zankou Chicken again as long as these guys are around. I promise you, if you like Armenian / Middle Eastern food, it would be nearly impossible to find a better place than Bravo Cafe. When I bring leftovers home from work, everyone asks me where the hell did I get this stuff! read more
