Chicken shawarma was dry and very tasteless. The sauce inside was awful. The falafel didn't taste good either. I wouldn't have eaten it if I wasn't in a rush. I'm surprised this place has been open for business for as long as it has with an empty, uninviting interior during lunch time and food which can't compete in a town loaded with mid-eastern restaurant which are much, much better. read more

I was craving chicken noodle soup so I found that Sevan had some and they used rotisserie chicken in their soup. Had this delivered and it hit the spot. The portion was adequate and it had so much rotisserie chicken in it. It also contained fresh celery and carrots. I usually add lemon juice or lime juice to my soups but this was perfect as it was. Highly recommend this chicken soup, especially for those under the weather days. read more

Honestly, I don't really understand some of the criticism their food gets. Every time I come here, the chicken is juicy and crispy, the hummus and rice are delicious, and the overall experience is great. I'd definitely recommend it as an everyday lunch spot. read more

Sevan Chicken Rotisserie - Shawerma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, California

Sevan offers an extremely affordable, quick, and delicious dining experience! They have a small parking lot where you can snag a spot if you're lucky! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor space has a ton of tables and is shaded with clean windows. Falafel Sandwich - Delicious! The falafels were moist and came smothered in a tasty sauce! It also had lettuce, tomatoes, and onions inside that added a fresh quality to the wrap. A super satisfying and filling meal! 1/2 side of Dolma - Comes with 6 pieces. Loved it! Prices are cheap, service is quick, and the food is delicious! Definitely coming back! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This place ruined my Thanksgiving day and has horrible customer service!! They made every one of their customers stand and wait for 2-3 hours. And they service you with no help and no kindness and they blame YOU instead of being apologetic. This is insane service and I will never be back. AND the food wasn't even worth the 3 hour wait. Unbelievable read more

Been going here since I was 10 years old in 1992, the food is very consistent and we are lucky it's located so conveniently

I and my wife usually order from the same place in La Crescenta. But today 05/11/2025, Sunday, Mother's day I had different experience of that horrible food that we ordered. We picked up after ordering one beef rap and also Shawarma Plate. I was there at exact the pickup time. The beef was cold and not fresh. We throw away the food to the garbage can and I will never order food from them anymore. They don't deserve even -5 stars! I am so disappointed SAM. read more

Sevan Chicken specializes in rotisserie chicken with a similar menu to Zankou Chicken (Armenian/Lebanese family mini-chain that is famous for their rotisserie chicken and middle-eastern fare), so it is hard not to compare the two. I really wanted to like this place, unfortunately the food cannot compare to Zankou's quality or their signature garlic sauce (toum). Sadly, Sevan Chicken doesn't have the same foot traffic as Zankou so the freshness of the food is not on par. Also, the GARLIC TOUM here at Sevan is HORRIBLE. Tasted like plain "Crisco shortening" with no hint of lemon or garlicky taste what so ever (gross!)... yes, the garlic sauce is everything when it comes to this style of rotisserie chicken. At best, the chicken is decent not great and the prices are inexpensive. Lunch/Dinner specials and Buy one or two- get one free deals are the main attraction. read more

visited two times best food and service as well even close to my house , this place is very recommended to visit!

Don't be fooled by picture of the food. When they bring the food, it is not the same as shown in the picture. They are cheaters. read more

Chicken was extremely dry. Definitely not worth the price. Chicken soup was hot water with leftover pieces in it

First time here! We usually go to Seasoning Alley, but our friend recommended Sevan. Two of us got a whole chicken dinner with hummus. Hubby got a falafel sandwich that was great and I got the chicken sandwich. Next time I will get some extra tahini or garlic sauce, because the sandwich was a little dry, even with the mayo. It is a good value for the money and we will definitely be back. read more

This is my 2nd visit. First visit was years ago but not spectacular so I have not returned until 2 weeks ago. Ordered whole chicken to go reasonable price and chicken tasted alright. With other choices in Glendale I will probably not return. read more

After over a 2 decades of coming here I'm still very pleased with their food! The rotisserie chicken is good, and all the yummy sides. They have an outdoor patio and it's nice to feel the breeze. Arman provided excellent customer service and was so welcoming. They also have good deals. read more

Sevan Chicken Rotisserie was on DoorDash. And so, I ordered pickup from them. Service was quick and simple. I usually eat vegetarian food there... However, we're in a pandemic. I must eat stronger. I ordered a deconstructed shawarma, because even sandwiches can get soggy. It cost more because the plate or styrofoam container holds more... I wasn't upset because they gave me a choice of two sides and complimentary gourmet pickle vegetables. Maybe it's beets and/or turnips. Weird looking pickles, because it's not a cucumber, but it tasted good. Sevan Chicken specializes in chicken. The bulk of the menu is rotisserie chicken meals. However, I recommend others to explore... Have dinner with an exotic side instead of soup or salad. This is a local family owned business in Glendale, California. You'll definitely like it. read more

I gotta get here on the lunch special days. The kebab is what to come for. The sandwich is a nice lunch, but it varies on different days. So far, the kebab has always hit top marks. I'm a fan of the chicken dinner - especially if you like crispy skin. Get the moutabal. smokey eggplant flavor is so good. read more

This is the first time I've decided to do a review on the spot before leaving so I don't forget my experience. Red flag , the chicken plate I ordered, came with the chicken under temperature, at the most it was around 100* degrees which is not near the 165* recommended by health department standards. The rice was bland. Absolutely tasteless and soggy. They use parboiled riced . No good . The pita bread was already old and dry . The hummus was old and fermented already, and with an excessive amount of lemon juice added . The gentleman taking orders was very nice and polite , nothing compared to the chef making the food which questioned my wife's word when the hummus side dish was forgotten. I understand their cultural behaviors towards women but we are in America and businesses must follow American standards of customer service. Would I recommend this place ? Absolutely not!. I highly recommend Mini Kabob in Glendale and Alwazir Chicken in Hollywood. I am surprised this business is still open . No wonder they have buy 2 get one free special on their menu. I sincerely hope that they pay close attention to details and improve . Otherwise, I don't see them surviving these difficult times when other similar restaurants are doing better . read more

Been here a few times now. The chicken is consistently well seasoned and moist. Otherwise the menu is pretty limited. Skip the sides and just get the chicken. It's in the name. They do chicken. , but the rest is just ok. Employees not wearing masks, so I won't be back again for a long time read more

Years later I was told that I should try their Beef Shawarma by a good friend of mine., so I did and I must say their Shawarma plate was delicious., the beef was sliced thinly with just the right amount of various sauces that they served (on the side) with a choice of my favorite Hummus and salad. Unquestionably the best beef Shawarma in Glendale for sure. I will be back. read more

Iv been visiting long time ago since the original owner in the 90.s..this time I took a whole chicken..it wasn't cooked right.. this is first time.. I put a review on there site..asking theme i have the recipe and suggested ( next time give me a 70% off of the price).when I bought the chicken it was late I couldn't return it almost closed..so the meat was hard to saperate from the bones..we couldn't eat it ..so my review on THERE SITE WAS DESAPPEARED. ..maybe because I asked for the 70% off. read more

This is one of the best place to get food. It's been years I am coming here because of the food quality and the best customer service! High recommending this small restaurant. Thank you for such a care towards your customers. read more

I've been eating rotisserie chicken from here for the past 3 years and have only now gone to the actual location. What can I say about the restaurant itself. It's a tiny place with no frills. Where this place towers over all other chicken places is it's amazing rotisserie chicken! Cooked to perfection and served as a meal with sides or A la carte. The a la carte still comes with pickled radishes in beet juice and a side of the best white garlic sauce you've ever had! If your looking for a beautiful high end restaurant to impress your girlfriend, go somewhere else but sometimes you don't care about that an just want great quality food. Although they do have an extended menu with lots of middle eastern dishes to choose from, the chicken for me is the BOMB! Enjoy! read more

Great consistent rotisserie chicken dinner meal that's bang for your buck! The chicken is tasty and falls off the bone. I usually opt for the hummus and rice pilaf as my sides. They give generous portions of pita bread with your meal, sometimes the whole bag. The garlic sauce is good and doesn't have that strong lingering taste. If you go before 4pm you can take advantage of the buy one get one free lunch special. It includes two sides and 1/4 chicken with pita bread and garlic sauce. For just under $10 you get a full on meal for two people. During dinner time the deal is buy 2 get one free, but you get 1/2 a chicken. It's a great affordable option that isn't american fast food. I normally call my order in via telephone and it's ready as soon as I arrive, the service is good and consistent. read more

They should make this place the"Eighth Wonders of the World" for being in an Armenian community and serving the most disgusting kababs I have ever tasted in the history of my culture and stay in business for a decade! The most disgusting, unflavored kabab ever touched my tastebuds. Unbelievably shocked that my trash can ate it all! read more

Disgusting. It was my first time here and right when I walked in it felt so damp and unwelcoming. I ordered take out and she completely messed up my order. No salad, no rice, just one kabob on pita. When I bit into the chicken it tasted sour and cold. It was literally raw the chunks were so thick I couldn't eat anymore. Disgusting literally I couldn't eat after. The dip they gave me instead of the salad was smelly and chunky just gross. Waste of 15$:( I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Please think twice before comming here. read more

I'm came her at lunch and ordered food. I got the lunch special. I ordered my sides and I asked her if I can have rice instead of fries. She looks at me and says "now I have to start all over because you couldn't make up your mind" wow.... soooooo annoying. And the. She proceeded to go to the back and talk to the cook in her language. Hopefully she didn't tell him to spot on my food. This lady needs a major attitude adjustment. read more

I found this place on Yelp (of course) and when I walked in, they had BOGO free for lunch (awesome) when you order a 2 piece with 2 sides plate. So of course I had to get that. I got one dark meat with rice and hummus ($9) and the other one was white meat with rice and hummus plates. It was so good!!! The chicken was flavorful and tender, decent portions. The hummus was very tasty. I really enjoyed my lunch and especially my free dinner. read more

I haven't had food from Sevan chicken in a looooooong time. For the holidays I picked up a bunch of food for the family and was not only delightfully pleased at the flavor and textures of the meal, but also the pricing. We got two value packs (2 whole chickens + 3 sides per chicken), 10 falafels (which come with some lettuce, chopped onions, and chopped tomatoes) and a large order of fries. For the sides we did two sides of rice per chicken (which ended up being quite a lot even for a group of 8 -- I'd probably should have opted for two sides worth of rice instead of four), one side of hummus, and one side of beans. Beans and hummus were really delicious, the chickens juicy and very tender (fell apart easily which is how I like it), and the falafels small and compact yet very flavorful. The fries were a little soft for my personal taste and the rice was also a little plain -- I think it was saffron rice potentially? Overall I really enjoyed it and it cost ~$58 for all of that food, which for me was a good price especially considering we've been subsisting off of leftovers for three days now. read more

What's up with Armenians and their love for rotisserie chicken and garlic sauce? It's like they live off that stuff...in addition to BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, drakar, and cell phone shops. "Brow Down" my homies. I remember going to the Sevan Chicken establishment when I was young and never went again for about 15 years. Yes, it's been around for that long. In between those 15 years, I became an avid customer of Zankou Chicken. I recently went on a rotisserie chicken comparison run, so I visited Zankou, Sevan, El Pollo Inka, and several other places to conduct my own taste test. Yes, I am nerdy but I don't believe all you Yelp reviewers since Yelpers either give something 5 stars or 1 star. Anyway, compared to Zankou, Sevan chicken is less salty. The garlic sauce is creamier and less garlicky. Less is actually better b/c during the comparison test it felt like the Zankou garlic sauce was just way overpowering. The pita bread at Sevan is also a little more fluffier and sweeter than that of Zankou. The downside of Sevan is the following: The whole chicken is cut into quarters rather than being provided whole like Zankou. I like my chicken whole when I order it b/c it keeps in the juices. You can't order one large side order of garlic sauce. They only provide little cups so if you have a whole chicken, you have to order a bunch of little cups of garlic sauce. That is annoying. Lastly, none of the Sevan restaurants are places you actually want to eat in. Just order to go. The restaurants feel like they were stuck in the early 80s with bright orange decor or bland gray decor. That's where the new Zankou locations excel. read more
