Elysee House - Lamb, chicken and beef - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

This place has been on my mind for two weeks now. I hate to leave a bad review, so I thought I'd skip out on leaving one here... but honestly I take my reviews seriously and had I read a review like mine maybe I would have skipped out on this experience. So i'm not from this area and don't go very often. I was in town and really hungry! Looked up yelp reviews for the restaurant local to me and saw this spot, It was in like the top 5! Ok so of course I got excited because I've always wanted to try Armenian food and wanted to support a local spot. When I walk up I see they have an umbrella with valet parking. I'm thinking this place is going to be kind of fancy? I go inside, they seemed... surprised I walked in? The servers or whoever was working there was sitting down. It honestly left me confused so I asked if it was a restaurant (lol!). Just the setup of the place through me off. And I immediately smelled hookah when I walked in, which was off putting to me because I didn't realize it was a hookah bar. Anyway, the server pointed me to where she was going to seat me. It was an interesting arrangement. They had tiny cubicles like rooms, so that whoever is dining has a room in a tiny room with a table. Literally the room just barely fits the tables and seats. I'm thinking okay, maybe this is great for business trip lunches? The server was very kind and sweet when she sat me down. I take a few minutes to look at the menu; I have never had Armenian food mind you, and there are no pictures or descriptions, so when the server comes to check on me I ask her a few questions to try to get a better understanding of the menu items. I also asked her what her favorite salad was, she told me the tomato & cucumber salad. I finally ordered the shish kabob thinking I can't go wrong because I know exactly what it is, asked what sides it comes with, to which she said either fries or rice. I ordered rice as my side. She also then asked if I would like to order a salad as well, and I said no, I won't be able to eat all of that food. Fast forward to maybe 10 or 15 minutes later, she comes in and to my surprise brings me the tomato and cucumber salad. Immediately I am thinking it's either because i'm pregnant or because I'm middle eastern, and she is just being nice and hospitable. Looking back now, I obviously wish I had said something because she even mentioned to me that her English is not the best. But I didn't. The salad wasn't bad, it was fresh cucumbers, tomatoes & onions with olive oil, lemon juice and herbs. Next she brings in my shish kabob with fries & steak! So I'm really think she is being super nice and bringing extra things to be nice. I really wish I liked it, but I did not like the food ): the kabob was over cooked and the meat didn't seem fresh. Same with the rice, I can bet that rice was at least a day old. The fries were insanelyyy salty, but whatever I didn't even order them in the first place so I didn't care too much about that anyway. Okay so she brings me the check... and she charged me for the salad! It was like $15 for that simple tomato & cucumber salad. My total was around $60 and I barely ate my food. I was in shock and also embarrassed so I didn't say anything about the salad. But after leaving and thinking about my experience I had to leave a review. That place has potential but they definitely need to up their game... especially for those prices. read more

We hosted my mother's birthday here and the service was impeccable! The food was delicious and plentiful for our guests. The manager Armine was helpful from start to finish. The hall is renovated and has a wonderful black and gold theme. They also provided music (singer and DJ) with our birthday package. Valet was on site. We were able to bring in our own cake and decorations. Overall, very satisfied and will recommend for future events! read more

For large events not recommending Elysee. Even with reservation weeks before the event, they were very disorganized and unprepared. read more

I want to share my impressions of this wonderful restaurant. Everything was simply delicious! Every dish was prepared with love--you can feel the quality and passion for their craft. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, a pleasant place to relax. The staff is attentive, polite, and friendly--the service is top-notch. There were 10 of us, and the price for that amount of food is more than reasonable these days. We all ate our fill, were satisfied, and even had some leftovers! We ate a lot, it was filling, and we enjoyed it. I was very pleased and would happily come back again! . read more

We had a fantastic dinner in a VIP room. The Armenian salad is delicious with fresh herbs, the lamb chops, Luleh kebab and the ker u sos (beef stew) were cooked to perfection. Our server, Baglan was attentive, helpful and fun to talk to. read more

Private rooms for dining and service is amazing. Comfort food. A bit in the pricey side. Be careful because they charge for every little thing. Even still water read more

Excellent. Food was incredible. 5 star experience . Server Milena was great. The 2 star review here is ridiculous and doesn't do it justice. This is definitely an LA gem. By far the best place to eat in Glendale, the valley, and anywhere else east of downtown read more

Great food, excellent service, and unmatched ambiance. The price to quality ratio is very good and I'd highly recommend getting their Khash (Armenian bone-broth soup). The cook has a special recipe that is top tier. The owner and staff are very passionate about delivering an excellent service that makes the food that much better than most Armenian restaurants in the area. Whether it's for a casual meal with friends or a large event, Garik (the owner) and the staff will make sure you experience is next level. read more

I have to say, Elysee House completely surprised me in the best way. I've had a lot of Armenian food in my life, but this place honestly reminded me of the kind of cooking you only get at family gatherings. The second you walk in, it already smells amazing -- like someone's grilling khorovats in the backyard. The service was genuinely so good. Not fake-nice, not pushy, just super warm and attentive. Our server kept checking on us without hovering, and they actually knew the menu well enough to recommend things based on what we liked. You could tell they cared that we had a good experience. At one point the owner came around and chatted with us for a minute, which made it feel even more personal. Now the food... honestly perfect. The hummus and mutabal were so fresh, and the lavash came out warm which makes such a difference. The kebabs were insane and the chicken was juicy (like shockingly juicy), the beef was super tender, and everything was seasoned the way Armenian food should be. The potatoes on the side were unreal too. Even the salads tasted fresh and not like an afterthought. We ended up staying longer than we planned because the vibe was just that good. Good music, good people, really good food, it's the type of place you walk out of feeling full and happy. It was worth the food coma If you're looking for authentic Armenian food with genuinely great service, this place is honestly worth the visit. I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back. read more

We came here bsed on a recommendation, but ours was a disappointing experience. When we went there for lunch it was not busy at all, but the service felt rushed. Even though the food was ok, this spot gets 2 star because of the service we got. The waitress asked us for the side we want, but ended up bringing the wrong order. The waitress did not wait for us to finsh before rushing to clear the table and take away our bread and food which we wanted to take. The waitress was not around during the meal, but she was sure there to hover over to make sure she gets a good tip. And what really clenched it, is the horrible parking. We would not be coming back. read more

I went to this restaurant with my friends and we had an amazing time. The food was so yummy and the workers were so sweet and considerate. I rate this place 5 stars because there was genuinely nothing to complain about. I saw a review where it said the workers were rushing and I completely disagree. I love this place and I'd definitely come again. read more
