The Yelp & Google reviews are spot on. Their food is excellent and their service is as well. We had their beef and lule kebab plates with their barbary rice and they were super delicious and portions were generous. The owner also brought us some complementary side dishes that were so delicious with some warm bread. Free parking in the lot in front of the restaurant. Can't wait to come back! Happy eating!

Dinner with a friend on Friday night called for Mediterranean cuisine. Although we have a few favorites around town, we decided to try someplace new. Surprisingly this restaurant was pretty empty, especially considering that it was a Friday night. I suspect that has more to do with the location than anything else because the service was great and the food was delicious. We started with the babaganoush appetizer which we both enjoyed immensely. Then we each ordered an entree. We have very similar taste so we got the same thing - the lamb combo plate which came with one lule kebab and one lamb kebab. Both were delicious. We finished our meal with Armenian ice cream and baklava. Tip: the baklava is delicious when eaten with the ice cream. Trust me on this. If you're looking for a quiet Mediterranean restaurant, try Cafe Elegante. read more

Cafe Elegante - Lamb combo plates with one beef Lule kabob and one lamb skewer. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Burbank, California

I went to Cafe Elgante for lunch. It didn't disappoint at all. I ordered chicken kabab. Food was good, chicken was flavorful. This location is close to businesses and university; therefore, it gets really busy at lunch time. You can order take out too which is another great option. You will get your order faster. There are plenty o seats inside. I didn't notice any out door seats. Service is very good. Staff are very attentive and they often check on the tables. P.S this location is closed on Sunday. read more

The food is so good! And the people who own it are truly so kind and go above and beyond. This is our go to spot for Middle Eastern food & I'm picky given I was raised on type of food. Highly recommend! Also don't skip the cherry rice! Mouth watering read more

Had a mad craving for kabobs so decided to check out this place down the street and so happy I did! The server was so kind, sweet, friendly and welcoming! I placed my order and while waiting, my server brought out some warm pita bread and a sample of their hummus. Now when I say the hummus was fresh, I mean FRESH!!! They make it in house and even a few times throughout the day to keep up with their customers. I ordered the cornish hen plate, added a beef luleh kabob and got half rice, half salad. Had to do the happy dance in my chair after that first bite! The Cornish hen was delicious, juicy, and had amazing flavor! The beef luleh was equally good, flavor and seasoning were spot on. The rice was so fluffy and paired so well with each bite. Even their salad was good with dressing made in house. Overall this spot is definitely gonna be my new go-to and I'm excited to try other things on the menu. Place was clean, staff was friendly and so stoked to have this within walking distance. I'll see you next time Cafe Elegante! read more

Food was outstanding. We did take-out. Everyone loved what they ordered. We will definitely do this again.

Food is good! Recco the luleh kabob with zereshk polo, baklava, and Persian ice cream. The hummus and eggplant was yummy too!

Best kabobs in LA. The flavored rice is great. My favorite is the cherry. The eggplant dip!!! No need for pita to dip. I'll just eat the whole plate full with a spoon. It's sooooo good! Friendly service with good prices. I'll happily drive 15 miles to get here anytime. read more

The food was delicious. The service was great. Special shout to Jaime she deserves a raise!

Food and service are excellent. Not much in the way of ambience but clean and comfortable.

Food is delicious and simply the best. Service is friendly and efficient. We had the lamb chops and chicken thighs kabab. Generous portions. read more

Nothing fancy but the food was very good. They serve beer and wine, but no cocktails. Traditional Armenian style food with some special dishes like sour cherry rice. Service was very good. The atmosphere was a bit spare but it was quiet so that was fine. read more

This is a hidden gem. The food tastes like real home-made food, created with love and served with care. It was delicious and nutritionally balanced. I decided to get baklava to go. It was wonderfully fragrant and perfectly sweet. The best I have ever tried. The service was excellent, super friendly. It's a very welcoming relaxing place. The ambiance was perfect, with a very clean space, great music at the perfect volume level (which is important to me :). Overall an amazing "hidden" spot to go by yourself, with a date, or with family and friends. read more

The food was okay - got Chicken kabob and koobideh combo. The koobideh had more flavor than the kabob. Also got garlic sauce, but that just tasted like yogurt, no garlic taste. The hummus was a very large portion, but didn't really like it, was very much just chickpeas and a bit grainy. They seemed to use more cumin than sumac/lemon. Pita was also just okay, thin/store bought. read more

Food is consistently very good, and fresh! The owner Greg and his daughter, Lily are awesome. I've been going there for years and will continue to go there for their delicious food, courteous service and great company!! read more

What a wonderful surprise! The food was absolutely amazing, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the service. My server, Samantha, was the nicest and most genuine person I've had the pleasure of being served by in a very long time. She went above and beyond to make everything perfect. To top it off, the owner personally came to our table to check in, which made us feel truly valued and appreciated. Kudos to Samantha for her outstanding service and to the team for creating such a welcoming atmosphere--I will definitely be back! read more

Quality food period! The staff are very friendly and nice! Will definitely come back and try the other meat combos

I can honestly say I pass by this place every week when I go wash my clothes down the street. I wasn't hungry but I wanted to try something new so I finally drove into the parking lot. It's a small parking lot but there were 7 different spots available and they're wide enough for any vehicle. So I walk in and go straight for the counter. I spoke to a young woman behind the counter and asked for a menu. I was so happy to see a paper menu and it was quality. It was thick and the pictures of the food were in color. I ordered the SOLTANI Combination. By far it was the most delicious meat I've had all year (lol). It's only the 6 day of January. The meat just melted in my mouth with every bite. This beef was incredible with a fantastic flavoring. The rice hit the spot and I can't believe I have so much of it just for me. The grilled veggies had the right amount of char from the fire. I saw they had a Christmas tree and that made me happy to see the spirit of the holidays in here. 100% I will definitely come back and try the chicken. I loved my meal and I took it to go and despite the traffic on a Friday night my food remained warm. The presentation of the food in the to go box was eye catching. They did a great job and I am so happy with everything. Happy New Year Everyone: Trying New Spots. read more

Placed an order for a party of 12 and Greg, the owner was very accommodating and helpful over the phone.

Check out their restaurant, you won't regret it! read more

Excellent food. I got takeout here to try their kebabs and wow was I impressed. Soltani was very juicy and tasty. The people working there were also very nice. A local gem. read more

The food here is delicious! Everything I've had here I really like. The portions are really good and even though it looks like a lot of food, I always end up eating the whole plate because it's so good! The staff are friendly and the restaurant itself is clean and comfortable. It's in a little strip mall so parking is easy in the lot, but there's also a lot of street parking too. I highly recommend this restaurant for some excellent Middle Eastern food. read more

I ordered the veggie sampler and it was very good. Easy parking and friendly customer service. I would definitely try other dishes in the future. read more

Shame on me for not doing this review sooner. If you like Tonir, give Cafe Elegante a shot. Tonir is good, but Cafe Elegante is better in food and service, in my humble opinion. The fabulous salad is EXTREMELY FRESH and not too vinegary. The hummus is smooth and not sour. The chicken luleh was packed with flavor! And my favorite, chicken breast kabobs ALWAYS come out PERFECT. read more

My favorite restaurant ever. The food is amazing!! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. read more

Oh wow... this place is just amazing. I haven't had food this excellent in many many years. Every single dish was phenomenal, which is so rare- usually I just have one or two favorite dishes. Every new bite was an adventure. I used to own a fusion food business and I have a lifelong friend who currently owns a Mediterranean restaurant so I am very discerning when it comes to Mediterranean food and food in general. I literally have nothing but praise for this place. It was exquisite. Can't wait to expose this place to my friends and family! With food that great, this restaurant is definitely getting stuck with us, lol. read more

I really loved this spot and I also love that it is a family owned operation. The owner is a really kind and down to earth man and they've been in business here for 15+ years! He was showing me all of the charitable contributions that he's made throughout the years and you can truly hear the passion in his voice.
