Ah-ma-zing!! First impressions, super clean and beautiful bakery. They had all kinds of pastries--cookies, cakes, baklava, Lebanese Kanefah, savory pastries--they have everything! The kind woman assisting me was so patient as I asked a million questions about all the goodies they offer. I picked a bunch of different items and they did not disappoint. read more

Parking was easy, cookies were good and prices were affordable. Passed by Sarkis on my way home and decided to try it. Passed by around 7 pm and parking was easy. It was my first time and I told the staff. I wished they walked me through a few of their items or were willing to answer questions. None of the items were labeled in the display cases so I had no idea what they were. I just pointed to some cookies in the display case and paid for them. Some cookies had pistachios in them. They were good and I may come back if I crave them. read more

We had a grand opening at a nearby location and decided to order from Sarkis Pastry. Everyone loved all of the different pastries and cookies. I think the real winner was the feta and potato turnover pastries. They were warm with flaky dough. Absolutely delicious. We had trays of cookies, baklava and Karabeej with Pistachio & Natiff Marshmallow to dip in. All of our tenants seemed to really love all of the pastries and cookies. We served these with fresh fruit and warm coffee. Thank you Sarkis Pastry for making out event turn out so well. read more

A friend and I stopped by for dinner and were beyond impressed by the flavor and quality of our meal! We ordered the jarko (potatoes and meat), mutabal (eggplant dip), and the beet salad. Everything was incredible. The potatoes were perfectly roasted and seasoned, and the meat was tender. We don't even like eggplant and the mutabal was so good I wanted to bring a jar of it home. The beet salad was loaded with beets and flavored nicely with acid. The folks working were kind as well. Overall an absolutely amazing meal and we will be back next time we're in town!! read more

This bakery is a little hidden gem! I had written a 5-star review last year and today I happened to be in the area again, so I figured I would revisit Sarkis Pastry. They served me an excellent latte with a touch of cinnamon paired with the most delicious chocolate pastry. I had some work to do on my laptop and the wireless was fast and reliable. Just nice, kind people in an immaculately clean and comfortable environment. I always prefer exploring small family-owned businesses over big chains. It can be a little hit and miss, but occasionally you stumble upon an exceptional business. Sarkis Pastry is definitely a top choice if you're looking for tasty pastries or just a little spot to sip a nice coffee, get some work done, and enjoy a sweet treat! read more

Sarkis is where I go if I'm looking for quality pastry or looking for a great dessert contribution for a potluck. I've been a fan for years, and I think their baklava and cookies were my first introduction to their greatness. I soon started enjoying their savory items too (like their za'atar-covered breakfast items), and whenever I'm in Glendale or nearby, I'm sorely tempted to stop by and pick up a snack. I never had an issue with parking (there's a lot on site), and the service is consistently efficient and friendly. I usually pick up my items to take away, but there is seating inside if you want to eat on site. read more

We were in Glendale for a wedding and so didn't have a ton of time to explore (family wedding so there were lots of family obligations), but I really wanted to do a bakery crawl in Glendale Sunday morning before we headed to West LA and then north up the coast. Sarkis was one of our stops, and we tried three different pastries (two versions of baklava and a savory potato pastry). They were all okay, but it wasn't my favorite bakery of the crawl. Probably just because I'm more of a savory/salty girl! Still, if you want a large variety of pastries, Sarkis was one of the biggest and best stocked bakeries we visited on our crawl - lots of choices! read more

I was very disappointed by this bakery. I had read high reviews about this bakery having the best baklava in Glendale. I love baklava and was extremely excited to taste it. The service was fast and the workers were attentive. It is a small shop with seating if you would like to enjoy any of the goods you grab in store. Otherwise, their packaging is also cute. Unfortunately, the baklava here was just barely adequate. It uses a sugar-based syrup rather than honey, which gave it a sugary flavor rather than featuring the warmth and depth of honey syrup. The syrup also penetrated through the entirety of the phyllo dough. I almost walked out without purchasing anything because they didn't look fresh enough to purchase and properly review but I figured that this is an accurate reflection of their product. Definitely come by for other baked goods, but if you are picky about your baklava, or are just looking for good baklava in general, do not get your hopes up. If you are just looking for baklava in general, this will do the job. read more

Another great bakery in Glendale!! Once you come in, there's a ton of pastries and cookies. What's good: - Pistachio Cake: Light, nutty pistachio flavor, creamy. - Chocolate ganache cake: tasty chocolate cake with ganache on top. - Pistachio cookie: It's hard to find pistachio pastries that have a lot of pistachio flavor in it. Wonderful. Everyone wore a mask, not chaotic inside. Has a parking lot. The packaging is quite nice too. What stood out from here and other local bakeries was the exceptional kind service. She gave us free extra cookies to "fill the box"! Awww! Bless her. read more

I am positive that these reviews are false and come from relatives and friends or are paid. Either that ir they come from people that are unfamiliar with Arabic sweets. I have really never tasted worst sweets, and I have ordered from many places. The baklava has a tiny amount of nuts, not just a little - but like less than 1/4 of the needed amount and are dry and so not taste fresh at all. The syrup has a strange taste. What they call "macaroons" are dry and almost syrup-less. In addition, the website states that they ship within 24 hours. I placed the order on Tuesday night and it was shipped on Friday and arrived on Saturday. I paid extra for one day shipping. I am going out of town on Monday and if the order didn't arrive today, it would have been a waste. The mamoul is not bad, but I've tasted much better . I paid over a hundred dollars for this order and I feel that it was a waste. I don't know if I am allowed to recommend places - but places on the East Coast especially in Michigan are by far much better. I just did not have time and did t want to pay $50 for two-day shipping- big mistake read more

Wonderful baklava! They are a "must stop by" whenever I'm in Glendale. They have some of the best baklava I've ever tasted! They make their own phyllo dough with butter instead of buying commercially made phyllo dough. You can taste the difference. You can taste the butter and the crispy, fresh texture. They have cashew, walnut, almond baklavas and many more. They also ship their pastries too. Highly recommended! read more

At Sarkis Bakery, the treasured recipes are passed down many generations resulting in the the baklava of your dreams! You walnut regret getting the medium or large trays of either just fillo dough baklava or assorted baklava. If you are not a fan of crispy layers, Sarkis also has the Ballourieh Baklava. This one is made with shredded kataifi and filled with crushed pistachios. With the drizzle of rose water and shredded rather than flaky layers, the Ballourieh Baklava has a chewy, paste-like texture. Top 3 + Finger Baklava (cashew filing; mildly sweet & lightly crispy) + Diamond Baklava (walnut filling; on the sweeter side & super crispy) + Bird's Nest Baklava (walnut filling; moderately sweet & delicately crispy) Overall, Sarkis Pastry is a must visit for baklava when in Glendale. read more

From the Business

Specialties

With locations in Glendale, Anaheim and Pasadena, Sarkis Pastry stores are the pride of their communities. Traditional and authentic Middle Eastern and European pastries are the results of a family history in the baking industry for over 40 years. Though the baklava is one of many Sarkis Pastry favorites, we also feature many other varieties of original Middle Eastern sweets as well as French style birthday and wedding cakes; each with endless variety of styles and decorations. Cakes can be ordered by phone and picked up at any of our three locations. "The daintily shaped baklava and kunafa pastries are the loyalty of the Near Eastern sweets, indeed." writes Linda Burum, in her Los Angeles Times article, referring to Sarkis' famous hand rolled baklava.

History

Established in 1983.

Sarkis Pastry was introduced in the United States by being the first Middle Eastern/Armenian bakery in Glendale. Expanding into new locations, Sarkis Pastry next opened a shop in Anaheim in 1995. Soon after in 1999, the newest of 3 locations was opened in Pasadena. Presently, all 3 locations are moving forward serving their respective communities.

The grape leaves were herby and hearty, and the babaganoush was flavorful without the tang of a hummus, which I enjoyed. The fried cauliflower was crispy and hot with a creamy sauce that paired well.

The take out order was missing a main item. When we called to complain, they left us hanging on the…read morephone for a long time. The food was average, the shawarma was overly spiced and the cheese rolls very heavy. We paid about $150 for the take out and did not have a good experience.

Delivered fresh and puffed up like a balloon straight to our table. I also love they have a separate parking lot with a lot of space. This area is a bit difficult with parking so this made it very easy. Also the fruit drinks were nice. Everyone here was very friendly.

Kebabs, Falafel, and Shawarma adorn the menu as staples and popular go-to items along with fried whole fish. The food is delicious here. Ingredients are fresh and well prepared, and certainly touch on the side of fine dining with pricing to match. The ambiance is casual from when you order to the number given to you, so the staff can deliver your food. What stands out for Tarme is the fact that they do have a breakfast menu. The space is also nice, with a staff that is friendly and quick to serve.

I came here just after they opened, there were already some people inside. The cheese bourekas were…read moreflakey, light, and filled with feta. The Mini falafels come with 8 and are bite size on the tahini plate- I loved putting all the tahini on it. The Charred broccoli was exactly what I wanted, it's crispy and comes with a lemon garlic aioli. The Maghrebi potatoes come in thick, crispy slices on pickled lemon red pepper tahini. The Shawarma oyster mushrooms also another hit. We also ordered flat bread special which was feta & pomegranate seeds. Overall I was just so impressed with every dish. For dessert we ordered the halva & S'mores bourekas which was light & not overly sweet for a finish. Parking- street parking

The best hummus in the WORLD, bar none. And the most incredible pita bread I've ever had! I love so…read moremany things on the menu that I over-order every time but the next day I'm happy to have whatever combo of leftover couscous, spicy Moroccan carrots, and kale salad (which holds up really well as leftovers because kale). This review is long overdue because I first fell in love with Mazal as I impatiently anticipated their opening. I lived nearby and watched the progress as the owner and his father spent nearly two years building out the beautiful interior of the restaurant themselves. Everything about Mazal is a labor of love involving their entire family, including menu items that are grown in their orchard. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, whether you are in the dining room or on the patio. I'm back in LA frequently now and come to Mazal nearly every time. In addition to the hummus you have to have spicy tahini (or the new-to-me adorable mini falafel and tahini plate). My other new favorite I'll definitely have again is the shawarma oyster mushrooms, air-fried and served on cannellini bean purée with mint chimichurri. Everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. You don't want to miss the bourekas (the assortment of five cheese bourekas is something I dream about), the maghrebi potatoes (on tahini!), and the marble halva (take it home if you don't have room after all of the aforementioned must-haves and thank me later).
