    The best baklava ever
    Sara B.

    So kind, great service, and delicious food! They have a lot of options including dessert. Open late

    French Fries

    Stopped by while I was in the area and was greeted by Gev, who was friendly and welcoming. The place itself was clean and well maintained, which made for a pleasant first impression. I ordered the wrapped pork shawarma with a side of French fries. The fries were fresh, with a nice balance of softness and crunch--definitely a highlight. The shawarma, however, was a bit too heavy on the sauce for my taste, which made it harder to fully enjoy the flavor of the meat. Overall, the staff were kind, and there's a nice little outdoor seating area that adds to the experience.

    I found this place while I was making some late night Uber Eats deliveries. One delivery request sent me here. The cashier was very friendly and we chatted about their menu offerings while I was waiting for the order. I decided to place an order and pick it up on my way home. I got the beef and cheese lamajoun with a cup of yogurt (it reminded me a lot of tzatziki). It was hard for me to leave the bag alone while I was driving home because the food smelled amazing. It was very good and I plan on returning to try their shawarma pizzas!

    Thank you grandma for the baklava. Every ikea trip and you want a shawarma this family doesn't play. Grandma insisted I grab the baklava Mike and aren 10 minutes before they close hooked me up and really blessed me with a giant wrap for the night. Grandma gave me cookies and baklava for free. They are definitely good people. Yeah zankou is delicious but there's more than one good shawarma spot in town. The reviews don't lie lmao

    Chicken and beef shawarma

    I sincerely must say that it is the best Shawarma I've ever had. Unbelievably tasty, everything is the right. Perfect amount of spiciness, ratio of the meat and the veggies are just right as well. Customer service is good too, friendly staff and fast service. We took a seat out in the patio and it is pleasant and private. I would definitely recommend this place and I personally can't wait to visit this place again in very near future. I'll be trying their other menu items as well.

    Great food, great service, patio outside is amazing to dine. Recommend everyone to try the amazing food. Love it ill give it a 10/10

    Hair tangled in Lamaju
    Stella V.

    Wait was quoted 20 minutes but took 43. The ajarski was very salty, and we unfortunately found a hair in the lamajune and had to throw everything away. I don't mind paying for quality, but not for food we couldn't eat. Customer service was disappointing. I sent a photo as requested and never got a response.

    I had such a great experience at the Glendale Shawarma. First of all, everything has great and balanced flavor. Second, everyone there has such a warm and welcoming smile. Lastly, the food quality is amazing... seriously, anything that has dough is made fresh by this nice lady. I am happy that we chose Glendale shawarma that evening since there was a lot of competition in the area. We definitely plan on coming back but during the day next time

    Very subtle place. You would never guess how delicious the food is by the outside. I think it is family owned and that is the quality. Like mom made it. It is so good. The meat is fresh, veggies fresh, hummus perfect, and bread freshly baked. What!! I could not ask for more. Everything is made with love. I wish I took pictures but I ate the food too fast here is the dessert

    I just wanted to write about my experiences at Salt & Olive in Glendale California…read more The food is always delicious and the service is on point all the time. I would like to point out that I have been coming here for brunch on weekends and dinners during the week for many years. I always look for Rubi as she is exceptionally good at her job and she knows by memory what we eat each time we come in. She definitely knows how to treat her customers and I have seen firsthand that her section is always full with returning customers. Thank you Rubi for always treating us amazing at Salt & Olive!!

Found Salt and Olive down the street and we really enjoyed our meals. The restaurant is very nice and comfortable. We sat on the patio and got our menus right away. Water came right after that. It was between lunch and dinner time and there was just one person taking orders. It took a while to get our order placed, but the food came out shortly after that. The restaurant is very comfortable with a good amount of tables. The menu is pretty thorough and offers a lot of options. We went with a chicken wrap and a chicken kabob plate. Both dishes were cooked correctly, lots of flavor and presented well. The chicken was flavorful, and were good size pieces. The rice was very fluffy and had a nice flavor as well. The salad was basically just a salad. Not a lot to say about it. We were both full and happy when we were done with the meal. There is a parking lot that you can get your ticket validated for 90 minutes. We were lucky and found street parking very nearby. For the price, this is a good place. Not very pricey, it is a pretty good value. I did not get around to ordering any Baklava, but I saw a plate come out and I need to be sure to order it next time. It looked so good.

    This is not the best Armenian restaurant in the world. It is also not the most glamorous, the most…read moretrendy, nor the most ambitious. But it is without question the most important Armenian restaurant in the world. Armenians are simultaneously a diaspora people, a people of the book, and an old country people. Therefore, odd as it may seem, it is entirely appropriate that the most important Armenian restaurant in the world should not be located in Armenia at all, but should serve a diaspora community in a way that makes them feel connected to home, both interns of cuisine and in terms of communal warmth. Technically, this is more of a Lebanese restaurant than an Armenian restaurant, but that hardly matters. It's a place of celebration, merriment, laughter, and tears. In short, it is THE gathering place for Armenians in Southern California. Because of its fame and importance, the thing that is consistently overlooked about this restaurant is just how excellent the food is. Bring a Lebanese expat here and you will invariably hear them say after the first bite of hummus that it doesn't compare to the hummus they used to enjoy in Beirut. By the middle of the bowl, they will say that it actually is not as bad as they first thought. By the end of the bowl they will declare that this hummus ranks among the greatest they have ever tasted. Carousel does not overwhelm you. It seduces you. And you'll be back.

We were immediately greeted by the owner who excels at friendly banter and salesmanship (not in a pushy way - he clearly loves what he does and wants people to enjoy good food, so he happily gave some recommendations). We got the lule with a sparkling water and a salad, then were surprised with an extra side of rice so we could try the ghee and another sparkling water, courtesy of the owner. The chicken was incredibly moist and flavorful and I loved the added bonus of the onions that we could pull together into a wrap. I can't complain about the price either because between the 2 of us, we were satisfyingly full with just one order. Excellent spot for a casual lunch or takeout.

Yesterday we finally had time to come by and it was just okay. I love to see them thriving and see how supportive their client base is. Personally, I was underwhelmed. I have Armenian, Persian, Middle Eastern, and all similar foods ALL the time (and I am Armenian). The Luleh didn't look appealing, but it was actually good. I liked that it wasn't over-seasoned like most places. The chicken kabob was just okay. Nothing really stood out about it, except that it was a little undercooked in the middle, yet still charred on the outside. The flavor of the rice was alright, but the consistency was too watery/ mushy. I liked the humus - the flavors weren't overbearing. Overall, it was okay. The portion was good but the place in general is a little overpriced. Service was alright, the girl taking our order was nice but nothing stood out. PS - no trash cans. When you're done, you have to walk over to a large dumpster to throw your trash in.
