    Lahmajoun (Beef and Cheese)
    Charmaine V.

    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!

    Hair tangled in Lamaju

    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.

    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 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.

    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

    This place is so bomb. Everything is so flavorful and I think you get a great amount of food for the price. Very nice customer service as well! 10/10 would come again!

    Great hospitality they gave fries on the House Salad Fires were amazing

    Amazing hospitality with very kind, welcoming people who make you feel comfortable right away. The service was excellent and attentive, and the food was very good--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Overall, it was a great experience and a place I would definitely recommend.

    Got their pizza and pork shawarma. Like most of these Glendale Armenian shawawrma shops, it's a miss. Full of veggies and forget to properly season the meat. However, still better than most other spots. If you want authentic shawarma you will only go one of the oldest and best spots I won't name here. Kids loved the pizza. They actually make it fresh and toss the dough. this is the main reason I left 4 stars. Prices are reasonable and portions are large.

    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!

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.

    The Seasoning Alley Mediterranean restaurant in Montrose…read more showed promise but landed somewhere in the middle. Here are some impressions from our visit earlier today. The restaurant is a casual, clean spot and has a welcoming environment. Service was attentive and friendly. Our salad was fresh and delicious and the meal portions were large and plentiful. Good hearty sized plates but low on taste and quality. Unfortunately, the pita was one of many low points. The pita arrived cold and slightly stiff, not warm and soft as we'd hoped. It lacked the toasty, chewy texture that makes pita so comforting and effective for scooping up dips and bites. Another low point was that our rice was barely warm, almost cold. Not good. The worst part of our meal had to be the hummus. It was almost frozen and tasted as if it was just scooped out of the freezer. Terribly disappointing. Our Chicken Kabob had a tender interior with a nicely charred exterior. The spices and marinade showed potential, but the overall flavor profile didn't quite soar beyond the ordinary. Wouldn't call it standout, yet it wasn't bad. It was just barely okay. The falafel tasted fresh, but the exterior could have used a bit more crispness. Interior was moist enough, with chickpea flavor present, though it didn't leave a lasting impression. Our overall impressions were that our meals were just barely okay for a casual dinner, but it didn't move into the "great" category. We were disappointed. We expected better quality. For improvement, heating the pita and rice to perfection and dialing in the falafel crust would elevate the overall experience. A touch more depth in the chicken kabob seasoning or a signature sauce could help distinguish the dishes. If you're in the mood for a low-key Mediterranean option with reliable service, this spot is worth a try. It's a safe bet for an okay meal, with good service and good size portions for a casual night out with friends or family. Considering their prices, for repeat visits, I'd hope to see more consistency across staples like the rice, pita and falafel, and a bolder finish on the kebabs to push the overall rating from "good but not great" to "really good." Pita and rice arrived cold. The Falafel could have been crisper. Chicken kabob flavor could be more distinct. The Hummus was horrible. Next time, I'll pass on this place. Cheers!
