I love everything about The Brandy! My favorite go to for a fun night out with my girlfriends! Hands down the best hookah in Glendale!! Also, their food is delicious (the burgers/sliders are my all time fave) and the entertainment is so much fun! Oh and of course the service is beyond great! Love all the staff at The Brandy! read more

Had my surprise birthday party here and I was so impressed with the vibe and quality of the food. The dishes were unique and delicious and you wouldn't expect it from what looks like a regular hookah spot. The staff was incredible and the night we had was epic. But the food is what will bring me back to this place. The pork belly tacos, wagyu sliders, pasta, cucumber salad are all must haves. The set menu option was also a great option for a big group. read more

Went here for a couples date night and I have to say our night was nothing short from perfection. First off the patio is decorated so beautifully. It's cozy and chic with big TV and a cool neon sign. Our waiter was Paulo (I think. I might be wrong since my friends were talking over each other lol). He was fantastic! He was very attentive, very fast to delivering our orders and helpful when it came to ordering. All of his suggestions were great. We ordered Greet Feta Salad, the Tomato & Burrata salad, Ahi Tuna Tartar, and we also each got our own dishes. The boys ordered the Wagyu burgers, the girls got the steak and fries, Bolognese pasta and the charcuterie board. For drinks I ordered the Eastside, the girls got Moscow Mules and the guys got martinis. For Hookah we ordered white peach/ white gummy bear. Not long after our drinks came out followed by the salads. Wow my drink was fantastic! It was minty and fresh. The rest of the group loved their drinks as well. The salads were excellent. Perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. The herbs on the tomato & Burrata salad were just fantastic! Our main dishes followed and everyone dug in. You know that moment of silence when everyone takes their first bites and they are enjoying it so much that they don't say a word because they're in total bliss? Yup, that's what happened. Everyone was very impressed with the quality and flavors of their dish. The Bolognese was cooked perfectly, the sauce in the burgers were out of this world good, the steak was perfectly medium and the quality of meat was amazing, the fries were perfectly seasoned and the charcuterie board was full of wonderful selections: honey, Brie, salami, etc. Also, it's worth mentioning that for the 3 hours we were there our hookah did not burn once. It was smooth the whole time! I think it's safe to say that we were fully satisfied with our service here and we will definitely be back again soon! read more

A good option for a Saturday night at Glendale, easy to find parking and a friendly welcoming atmosphere. The music in this place is amazing , the dj the sound s d the selection is very good. The drinks were very good, cocktails well done but for me the food was not very good, i selected the lamb chops and were fatty cold and chewy, but the appetizers were very good and I will come back for the show and drinks and appetizers. you have to be ok with the loud music and the hookah smoking around you. read more

Amaaaazing food....not a single bite was taken for granted! We were a large party and every single person could not stop talking about the interplay of flavors and technique of the chef, he took classic middle eastern cuisine and completely rocked our world! I seriously cannot wait to go back! Do Not Hesitate. Go, seriously go now. read more

I'll be sure to visit this place whenever I'm in town. The ambience and the food were amazing. Service was quick too. Get the chick kebabs.

Came by on a Saturday evening and had a great time. The food and drinks were solid, and the DJ kept the energy up throughout the night. Toward the end, a live singer performed, which was a refreshing surprise and added a nice touch to the vibe. There were several parties going on, and it looked like everyone was enjoying themselves. There's also an outdoor seating area where the music is much more toned down if you're looking for something more relaxed. read more

Excellent all across the board. From their service staff, food items and hookah selection, The Brandy has mastered all of those AND some. As you walk in, you are greeted by their staff with positive energy and really sets the tone that you will experience for the evening. Our party ended up ordering a few drinks, which were all excellently crafted. I recommend ordering the calamary. Cooked to perfection with an array of unique dipping sauces that is provided with the order. I 100% recommend ordering the brandy burger. It was the highlight of the night for me, and well worth it. Their hookah was also surprisingly very good. Packed just right, it lasted for a couple of hours. I recommend trying one of their specialty mixes; you really can't go wrong with what you end up choosing. This establishment will be a regular for me when I am around the Glendale area. Give it a try and see for yourself! read more

Love this place. The food is great and cocktails are on point! Amazing service they are always making sure if we're doing ok. I also liked the hookah flavors, best one was the summer breeze. read more

Very attentive staff and calm atmosphere! The inside has a classy ambiance and they have a patio in the back. I believe if you're smoking hookah, you can both indoors and out. They pack a solid hookah and have a full bar. Their food menu is quite extensive as well. My only complaint would be the prices! Appetizers are priced close to the cost of an entree. Gratuity is included no matter what size your party is. Plenty of metered parking but there is a structure in the back that will give you about 90 mins for free. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to go in Glendale when we come to town. The food is amazing a little pricey, but kind of worth it. If you go on the weekend, they have middle eastern entertainment. The belly dancer is probably one of the best belly dancers I've seen anywhere and I've seen a lot. If you are in town, definitely a place you should stop at. read more

Just wow! Had the BEST time here! Let me start by saying every single staff member was genuinely attentive and charismatic! I have never had such a great interaction with multiple servers, bartenders and wait staff the entire evening! The atmosphere, cozy and well designed. Incredible menu. Compliments to the chef and bartenders for the exquisite selection! My Eastside cocktail was crafted to perfection. Started with the calamari mix appetizer which had delicious dipping sauces. Wagyu burger with great fries and an awesome aioli! My favorite was the Arrabbiata pasta with shrimp. The sauce is insatiable! I devoured my entire plate!!! For dessert, panna cotta and butterscotch latte. Hookah was excellent as well. I'm satisfied, happy and look forward to returning, Overall, A+!!! read more

Where do I start? This place will definitely put Glendale on the map if it already hasn't with so many great places to visit. The ambiance is vibrant, classy and fun! The service is amazing (especially its first day open!) The hookah by far is amazing (I'm I a pro so trust me on this) The food, we'll I got the hanger steak. The portion is huge (it's bigger than petite), the marination is flavorful topped with mushrooms and peppercorn pomegranate pan sauce ( I wanted to lick my plate it was that good!) with a bed of fingerling potatoes. Yes The Brandy is hip new spot that's much needed, it's different and clean. read more

The Brandy is the NEW spot you WANT to be at! The Brandy has all the check boxes marked off!! Amazing cocktails, super tasty mix of appetizers and entrees served with so much style you'll crave it as soon as you leave. And yes, there's hookah. Fitted with all brand new Regal hookahs, the perfect pack and constant charcoal runs, you won't put down the hose. The atmosphere has to be one of the best around town. Pro tip - make reservations (on Resy) to secure a spot. My thoughts on food we ordered. Bacon filled crispy Brussels sprouts did not really last. We inhaled it as soon as it came. Fries had a softer tone to it which was my preference vs crispier fries. Very good nonetheless. Hummus was oh so good. Had a few pieces of garlic on there that tasted like candy. Hummus was served with a cool unique crispy pita style bread. Hanger steak was cooked to perfection. I asked for medium...and I was served a soft, melt in your mouth, taste piece of meat. Gnocchi was so unique. Not your traditional lumps of potato filled pasta but super tasty, flavorful pasta. Carbonara had a heavier cheesy taste which was interesting. Saucy and nice wide thick noodles that you can appreciate. Nicely sliced yummy bacon inside. Our seafood dish was amazing! Shellfish was fresh, tangy super full of flavor. Again, a generous portion that we wiped clean. We ordered a couple hookahs and as expected, it was awesome. Valet was available for us, just not sure how often it'll be there but just in case there isn't valet, there's parking right in front on brand or ample parking right behind in a structure. One thing I must say, they had a lot of employees serving, cleaning, helping and running around. I was there on their opening day expecting delays on seating us or serving us or even incorrect orders but I was pleasantly surprised that there was nothing to complain about. What a great addition to the heart of Glendale. Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Have been at this place for three times now and I absolutely loved it each time! The food is just amazing there. I feel like anyone can find something to eat there. Starting from vegan to meat lovers or desert lovers. The customer service is just amazing, even on a very busy day they can make space for you and are always very welcoming. Usually one lady serves me she has a flower in her hair , she's the best!! I don't know her name, that's why I just described her lol. The music is very nice there. Armenian, Arabic, Russian, English, honestly anything that's good. The drinks there are amazing as well I usually get a strawberry lemon drop cocktail, it's bomb. You should definitely check this place out!! 10/10 read more

I've seen this place transform from Royal Vanak to The Brandy and wow they have done a fantastic job! The atmosphere felt so welcoming and the food was phenomenal. We gathered for a friend's birthday and we really enjoyed our time sitting in the patio. Hovig and the team have done a great job. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

My friends and I wanted to have a girls nights and we decided to come here. We made reservations for a party of four just in case it was busy. Honestly, good thing we did! The place got packed immediately, so I recommend reservations. We started off by ordering food and hookah (white gummy bear and orange, never fails) and we weren't disappointed at all: the food was delicious the hookah was hitting, they constantly were bringing coals and made sure we were doing good. We also ordered drinks, lot of them and they were also just as good! The ambiance was great! Throughout the night they bring out performers, they started off with the guy who does a drum. Very cool, and then later comes out a belly dancer. Who's absolutely gorgeous! Both were very talented. We stayed until they closed because we were having so much fun. The Mexican busser was such a sweetheart! We loved him. I definitely recommend this place and I will always be coming back when I'm in Glendale! read more

Very nice venue. The food is delicious. We just had a group event there with Entrepreneurs Union and were trilled by their hospitality and nice service. Robert, the manager is very nice and friendly. You can also order Drink in Style IPA there. I prefer the indoor part, but the outside patio is very nice too. read more

I was looking for a new spot to Hookah & talk business, found The Brandy on Yelp & absolutely loved it! Reservations were easy to make & when we got there, walked right in. If you are able, definitely sit in the patio for the best social experience. The vibe is super chill & inviting. We ordered the hummus (a must try), a few entrees & drinks. Everything was great & the service was excellent. The Hookah was wonderful& they even let us customize our flavors. Overall, our experience was awesome. I'll definitely be back soon. Thank you to everyone at The Brandy. See you all very soon. read more

Everything is so good here! The food, the staff, the atmosphere! It's a vibe you gotta check out to see for yourself!

Mid, at best. Honestly. Doubt we will be back, downtown Glendale has better options at this price point. Lamb chops were great, 7/10. "Fresh grated black truffle" shells, 1/10 Hookah was ok, nothing special, 5/10 Sandwich bites weren't bad, 6/10 Service was good, sat out in the patio, some employees were yelling inside. read more

The service at the restaurant was excellent, with attentive staff and prompt service. However, the food was mediocre, lacking the wow factor I was hoping for. Overall, a pleasant experience but the cuisine fell short of expectations. read more

Had a reservation for 6 and we were seated promptly. Service is impeccable and consistent. We had the chicken tenders, fries, kufte sliders, tahini ceaser salad as appetizers and the boys had pesto pasta, truffle pasta, and the steak. The charcoal drink was my personal favorite. The music was on point and the overall atmosphere is very welcoming. read more

When I'm in Glendale The Brandy is a must for food and drinks. The hookah and entertainment are the cherries on top. It's like the 3 in 1 restaurant/lounge package the entire community has been waiting for. The service and cocktails are top notch. And you get the best of both worlds; the out-door chill patio vibe, and an indoor DJ/Party/Show vibe. We need one in the valley please!! read more

Everything from service to good quality TOP NOTCH. Love coming here. Check them out !

I'm so glad I found this gem of a place! We recently had our company holiday party here and let me tell you it was the best decision we ever made!
