Amazing place. A "cant go wrong" when you're looking for clean, healthy, and a great priced restaurant. The atmosphere is clean and bright, very inviting. The staff is always friendly and accurate with the orders. I like my steaks medium to rare, and they alway make it just as i ordered. I come in at least once a week when i don't have time to cook at home. Last but not least if you're into fitness or in Keto, you can order protein a la carté. Highly recommended. read more

Original Kabob Factory - Pork Shish Kabob Combo Plate Beef Shish Kabob Tabuleh - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Everything is made to order but it took a long time to get my order considering I was the only customer in the restaurant at 11:30am. Food was plentiful - roasted Anaheim pepper and tomato, chicken and beef louleh and probably 2 cups of rice for $17. I'm not sure what the two sauces were but they were good and needed as the meat was dry but flavorful. Staff greeted me but you could tell it was forced. Truly seemed like she didn't want to be there on a Wednesday morning and gave the Costco driver attitude as well when he made a delivery. read more

(Updated Review with Pics) Always awesome! Their Chicken Kabobs and Beef Lule Kabobs are so tender, juicy and bursting with flavor. I always order the combo plates and then order extra order of each meat. The Beef Lule Combo plate - comes with 2 strips of Lule, Rice, seasoned fresh onions slices, grilled tomato and chili pepper Chicken Combo Plate - comes with about five pieces of chicken breast pieces, Rice and same sides. If you order just the meat (not combo), you'll get double the meat and sides. Basically the rice is being replaced with extra meat so if you don't care for rice, definitely get the Non-combo as the price is insanely cheap!! Been ordering from here for almost 30 yrs and they've managed to stay so consistent with their serving size & flavors. Also, their prices are insane! I don't know how they stay in business with such affordable prices. They're definitely doing something right! Highly Highly recommend! read more

We came here on a whim to feed our hungry girls before the LA Zoo. We ordered a chicken thigh plate and beef luleh. The beef was seasoned well and very easy to eat. The chicken thigh was very tender and juicy. The dishes were served with rice, grilled tomato, and onion with sumac as well as a thin lavash. I enjoyed the food very much. But I have to admit I've had better Persian food many times before. Not bad though. read more

Cannot recommend.. This did not meet any of my expectations. I usually order a little bit from a restaurant I've never been to, damn me for not doing so here! I ordered too much!!! Too much unworthy food! Pictures and reviews from others suggested it would be good, but nope! I've ate at lots of other restaurants of similar, and nothing is like this, rather bland and uneventful. The chicken shish kebab was dry, and not much flavor. The pork ribs were decent. The ribeye steak was not the best. Considering that they state they use Harris Ranch, man I expected a great steak! Uneven cook on it too. I ordered a side onion, wth did they give me, a burnt onion?! Their sumac onions were not made right! Throwing some seasoning on some onions does not make it sumac onions! Things that were right? The roasted tomato, the roasted jalapeño. Possibly the hummus, as I quite liked the consistency and flavor. Wished the food was better. I don't understand their rating. Located right next to the popular and famous Paradise Bakery too. read more

Came by recently, and this is still THE BEST place to get your mediterranean fix. The quality and flavor of their meats is the best. I love their babaganoush and tzakik. My all time favorite even coming out feom the Pasadena area. read more

Great spot, great service and even better food! Used to come all the time and recently started coming again it's even better read more

Already a regular here and definitely not the last! The food was delicious, came out quickly, and the variety of kebabs was impressive. Everything felt like great value for money. The atmosphere was a big plus too. Great music, good vibes, and a spacious yet cozy setting. Nick was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Excellent customer service all around! read more

Horrible food. Wasted 112 dollars. Not authentic in any way. Huge disappointment... . read more

Found this place off of Facebook and heard many great things about it, really wanted to try it out. We didn't sit down inside the restaurant, but we got our foods to go. My expectations were quite high, especially how many good reviews this place had. Honestly overall, the food was okay and didn't truly blow my mind. The food was very fair priced, maybe that's what truly attracts people. read more

I can't understand how anyone wouldn't give this place an excellent rating. It's a take out or quick eating type of place, but there are more than enough seats to sit. The food is fantastic. The quality, taste, how the meat is prepared. The value is amazing and you will be full for hours. The combo kabob plate comes with a large beef and one chicken, a few grilled veggies, a large serving of rice, lavash, and 2 dips. Amazing value. There are also chicken or beef shish dishes, pork, and lamb. They do have nice salads to buy on the side, a large variety of amazing house made dips/sauces. They also sell marinated meat ready to grill at home, grill kits including charcoals etc, and some wonderful refreshing yogurt drinks to go with your meat. It blows my mind if you live within a short distance of this neighbourhood and you're choosing to eat fast food for the same amount of money (actually - more) and getting THIS. My husband's office is nearby, and I know he orders from here quite often, and on some days when I'm working with him, this is the place we'll eat lunch. You might just be too full for the wonderful bakery next door! read more

Original Kabob Factory is my go-to spot. Their staff is amazing--especially a worker named Yuri or Auri (sorry if I'm misspelling it!). She has a wonderful welcoming smile and handles a busy room of customers and DoorDash orders effortlessly. Garnik is also fantastic, very friendly, and gets you your food fast. Aside from the great service, their raw kabob meats are excellent and highly recommended if you want to grill chicken, beef, or pork at home. The only minor downside is the 3% credit card processing fee they charge, but the quality of the meat and the great service make it worth it. 5 stars for the hard-working crew! read more

First time here and I really liked the concept. It's pretty cool that you can order both cooked and raw meat, with the option to get a platter as well. There were lots of side options to choose from, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The service was great too. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely come back. read more

I ordered for the first time from The Original Kabab Factory and it took my breath away! I happened to go visit a family member and it was late at night, we all were hungry and kabab was an option.

Delicious food and friendly service. Tonight was our first time dining here. I ordered the lamb chop combo plate and a side of hummus. We also ordered the steak combo plate and the magic wrap (not pictured). The proteins were delicious and seasoned well and each item had a good amount of protein and sides. I just wish hummus automatically came with each entrée order. read more

10/10 some of the best kabobs in the city When it comes to kebabs, I'm picky but The Original Kebab Factory easily earned a spot in my top three kebab spots in LA. Every time I come here, I'm reminded why it's worth the drive . The beef is always tender, juicy, and packed with flavor perfectly seasoned without being overpowering. And the bread that comes with it? Extraordinary . Soft, warm, and the perfect companion to the meat, it rounds out the whole meal in a way that feels authentic and satisfying. The value here is unbeatable . For the quality and flavor you're getting, the price makes this one of the best deals in LA dining. It's no wonder there's always a line out the door when something is this good, people know. Final verdict: 10/10. Flavor, value, and quality that rivals some of the best restaurants in the city. If you're craving kebabs, don't think twice -- this is the spot read more

So good! I love the steak plate and the rice. You get so much food and the service is great! Would recommend for a post gym meal lots of protein! I love the cucumber salad! Thank you guys!! read more

I saw this place had many great reviews on Yelp so I gave it a try. The food disappoint however the wait time is awful. I ordered two wraps and ended up waiting over 30-40 minutes and there was only a few people inside the restaurant. Looks like they're pretty popular with catering so I think they were mainly focused on prepping for that. However, people who came in to pickup their bulk order, they were waiting for a long time too. Asides from that, food was great. I ordered the beef and chicken mixed wrap and the beef sheesh kabob wrap. It came with two sauce which went well with the wraps. We found street parking and the store is next to a Greek pastry which was also delicious! read more

Since living in Glendale, I've been trying out different kabob spots and the Original Kabob Factory is definitely on my life of favorite's! You'll need to either park at the back lot of the restaurant or if you're lucky, you'll find street parking! The restaurant is super clean with some tables to sit and eat. It wasn't too busy when I went so we found a table easily. The cashier was kind and welcoming. My boyfriend and I each ordered the chicken breast plate. The chicken was juicy, well seasoned, and had great grilled bbq flavor. The pieces they gave were thick too! They aren't the type of kabob restaurants to give skimpy small pieces. The rice was cooked perfectly and accompanied the chicken well. My favorite part of the meal was the charred jalepeno and tomatoes!! The smokiness of the jalepeno and the warm juiciness of the tomato tastes great. The onion brought a bright crisp component to the meal. I love that they give lavash for free as part of the meal, I like making a little "wrap" with the chicken breast, onion, and sauce. The sauces added such great flavor to the chicken. The orange sauce was spicy and the white sauce was a creamy garlic sauce. The price of the meal is affordable and satisfying!! The portion of rice is also MASSIVE that it makes great leftovers to take home! I rate this place a 10/10, whenever I can't decide what to eat, Original Kabob Factory never fails. read more

Stuff was really nice, and told us to wait for our order. Food was great, you get what you expect from kabob.

I ordered the chicken and beef kabob combo plate. The seasoning and flavors were actually quite good, and the portions are very generous for the price$.However, the meat itself felt a bit overcooked and dry, so I had to rely heavily on the garlic sauce. It's a decent option for Mediterranean food, but I've had more tender kabobs elsewhere. read more

This place was so good, I reinstalled the Yelp app just to leave a review! Today was the 2nd time my wife and I have eaten here and I'm blown away by the quality and service. A total spot hitter when you want authentic kebab. We HIGHLY recommend the luleh kebab, it's unbelievable! Felicia, the person helping us today deserves 10 stars. She was so warm and patient as we made our order, even double checking to make sure we were comfortable. We're from out of town but we'll be back to our favorite kebab place soon! read more

Omg the food here is amazing! As all delicious kebabs are exotic. At original kabobs Factory that I go to in glendale is extraordinary. Always the big portions of vegetables and meats are enjoyed by me and my family. We go here everywhere because the prices are fair. Their Lule is awesome, and paired with the grilled Chiles and purple onions are just mindblowing. I savor the meats with wine when I get home but most times the atmosphere inside is welcoming ! NICK, a representative there is very hospitable and welcoming. Made the food taste better. Thank you Nick! read more

We love Catering from the original Kabob Factory on Glenoaks. They offer good portions for a reasonable amount of money. you can't go wrong ordering from them specially if you have A dinner event. read more

As a busy mom finding quality food that your child absolutely enjoys and asks for more is probably one of the best compliments I can give. No matter the day or time food is always fresh and full of flavor. Now the service of Nick and his team is above and beyond I recently placed a catering order for my son's school and boy did they deliver. Everything was done perfectly portions were great and everyone kept asking where the food was from. Definitely cannot recommend them enough whether its for a quick weekday dinner or a large catering order they have you covered. read more

Two stars for cleanness. Taste and the quality terrible. For the first few years they were better now it's terrible. Rice is very dry yakkk My Lule kabob was raw and disgusting. read more

Omg. There are no words! All I can say is I am so glad we live in Long Beach because otherwise I think I might live at this place and would never cook another meal again. We were picking up something from Facebook marketplace in Glendale at around 9 o'clock on Sunday and were super hungry but didn't want Taco Bell. I was so happy that I found this place which is open until 10:00 (so rare these days!) and even happier once we dug into our food! We ordered three vegan plates and a side of hummus, and everything was absolutely amazing and very large portions! I have no idea what they did to their beans, but I'm hoping I can find a recipe to replicate the delicious flavor and texture of them. I don't even know what kind of beans they were but they were HUGE and oh-so-tender and flavorful! All three of us had leftovers even though I feel like we gorged ourselves for 45 minutes straight. My husband and I have really been enjoying the leftovers for breakfast each morning. My only regrets are that I didn't get an extra vegan plate to go, and that I didn't buy a bag of their delicious lavash bread! I told my husband that we need to find an excuse to go to Glendale several times a year so that we can go to eat at The Kebab Factory! Thank you for filling our bellies and creating a new food addiction! Oh, and the prices were very affordable, which was very surprising for such fresh food and generous portions in this economy! Oh, and the seasoned onions were amazing! I can't stand eating raw onions, but these were very mild and tasty and didn't leave a nasty aftertaste. I'm telling you, this place is magical! Go there now! read more

Wow! What a great spot. I was looking for a healthy meal after the gym later in the evening and stopped by here and got the chicken luleh kebab plate. It was so delicious. Everything tasted fresh even though it was after 8 PM. I even took home some of their ready-made food to go and it's so fresh and really tasty. Perfectly seasoned. I will definitely revisit because it was centrally located to a lot of places I frequent in Glendale. They were super hospitable and very warm, it definitely felt like a family establishment. I will be back. read more

So delicious! Service impeccable! Thank you sooooo much! Drove here from OC to try it and did not disappoint.

Everything went well. Food is absolutely delicious! I bought food for a party of 10 and there was plenty for everyone to take some home, and I'm still enjoying it myself 3 days later. Nick really cares about his customers. I will use the Original Kabob Factory to cater my next party in December for 40 people. Highly recommend....good value and food is the best! read more

Service was great, the cashier provided her expertise feedback on how to utilize the reward points in the app, which was amazing. I received a free tamale and a large cup of green salsa. Hilsea, the lady that prepped our food was amazing. For the first time in months, our burrito looked like a burrito and not the size of a flauta. Additionally, she provided the quantity of hot sauce per item we bought (8 burritos, 4 sopes, and 1 tamale). Every order in the past has been an extra push, or argument to get enough hot sauce. Thank you, our food was delicious. read more
