#17 gyro meat
Denny T.

I started working in the area and decided to hit up this food court for lunch. Pretty cool place, they have places that sell salads, poke, Thai food, seafood, burgers, and a Mexican fusion place. I decided to try this place as it looked a little lighter and healthier than the other options. I got the #17 gyro meat pita wrap. It was decent, the meat and the pita were tasty, but the cucumber sauce was pretty bland. I wish they also had some more fresh veggies on there instead of just the few pieces of tomato. Came with either salad or spicy potatoes. I got the potatoes, nothing too special about them. Pretty big menu, lots of stuff to order and the portion size and price aren't too bad. They had a huge order from a nearby business, but my order still came out pretty quickly. It was a good meal, i might come back and try some of the other stuff on the menu.

This is my go to place to grab a quick lunch. Infact i sometimes walk to the place from work. This is probably the first place where i am impressed with the team that serves along with the food. The lady on the counter is beyond awesome no matter how busy they are she is quick and smiling all the time. This review is for her more than the food. I always get the greek salad and its always exactly the same fresh and crispy.

If you ever City of Commerce and a fan of Middle Eastern, you must try this place. Gyro and chicken kabob top shelf level at a fair price. And excellent rice to anchor the meal.

Not sure what happened here but the quality is down the drain here. This used to be our go to place for work lunches. This is their kaftan plate combo. As you can see the meat is still raw! Texture is horrible almost like stretchy sausage with tendons bits on it, hard as a rock. Burnt on top raw in the middle. Hummus is from a can, rice is dry. It used to be good years ago. Gotta be careful not making other people sick as it made me that day

This is the chicken kabob plate, these potatoes are so tasty and their green sauce yummy...they have other kabob plates that are so deliciou

The Food, is so good I highly recommend and the customer service is awesome I like this place for lunch.

Sauteed mixed veggies on top of lettuce with chicken kabob

I got this salad that was pretty much sauteed mixed vegetables (zucchini, tomatoes, corn, onions) on top of a lettuce, topped with feta cheese and chicken kabob. Portion was HUGE. I was very happy because I was feeding my body a lot of vegetables. Chicken was tasty and tender. Idk why people don't give this place more than 3 stars!

Having been a massive fan of the Green Olive location on Vermont for years now, I was thrilled to find one 4 minutes away from my worksite in Commerece. When I arrived, I was a little concerned when I discovered that it was just a tiny counter in a food-court, but gave it a try anyhow. I ordered a kebab plate and noticed the food was bland and nowhere near as flavorful as the Vermont location. I came back a week later to give it another try, this time ordering a wrap and their ever-so famous spicy potatoes. Was super disappointed when I got the potatoes: they were soggy, mushy and discolored. Not even remotely close to the flavors, texture of the other Green Olive locations. Tasted like it was reheated from a batch made days before. I definitely won't be back to this location.

Chicken Kebob plate with steak and koobideh. Hummus and Salad. Excelkent.

Our group tried 3 spreads: the Hummus Duck 'Nduja ($19), Baba Ghanoush ($19), and Liver Pate. The baba ghanoush was my fave - it had a nice smoky flavor, and the pomegranates were a unique addition. The duck hummus was pretty tasty and flavorful, but was on the salty side. The pita bread that came with the hummus was fresh and warm! The liver pate personally wasn't my fave, but we got it since our friends loved it. For appetizers, we got the roasted cauliflower ($24), trout crudo ($32), octopus ($36), sweet potato flatbread ($26), and the oyster mushrooms ($29). My faves were the trout crudo and oyster mushrooms. The oyster mushrooms were grilled nicely and are best eaten hot! The octopus was tender, and cauliflower had a good flavor. The sweet potato flatbread was interesting, with a sweet and savory profile. For entrees, we got the Grilled Dorade ($54) and the Whole Lamb Rack ($92), both of which were stellar. The fish had a unique and strong flavor and was so tender. The lamb was also perfectly tender and had a mild gamey flavor. Overall enjoyable meal, but on the pricey side.

Service: very good quick to fill our waters…read more Ambience: music is nice, lighting is dim Baba ganoush: 3.75/5 roasted Chicken pate 3.5/5 bread was very good. Chicken pate was okay. Cauliflower: 4/5 a little more sour than I expected but it was nice! Wagyu: 4/5 good flavor and cooked well.

Even when it's busy, the restaurant still feels organized and comfortable, and there's something about the courtyard setting that makes the whole experience feel a little more special than your typical casual dinner. Portions are generous, the food comes out fresh, and everything feels like it's meant to be shared around the table. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a family dinner as it does for a bigger group or a casual night out. Service has always felt efficient and attentive, especially considering how busy the restaurant can get. The overall experience is consistent, which is probably a big reason Raffi's has stayed so popular for so long. There are plenty of Persian and Armenian restaurants around Glendale, but Raffi's continues to stand out because it delivers the full package: good food, generous portions, a great setting, and an atmosphere that feels uniquely local. Definitely one of those places I'd recommend to someone visiting Glendale for the first time.

Parking can be a little tough since they don't have their own parking. I was able to find a spot two blocks away so it wasn't too bad. Got their kefta plate which comes with salad, ground lamb and beef, roasted chillis, and tahina as my main. Everything was great, chillis had a good juicy kick. You get to choose a side and a sauce, I went with their garlic sauce which was a bit heavy for my liking. Their sides were amazing. We ordered their oyster mushrooms which were juicy and flavorful. Love the sauce that came under the mushrooms. Their crispy broccoli was also really good. We had some leftovers and air frying these was such a great move. Would recommend mizlala to anyone and everyone!

The patio is a cute little oasis in west Adams (but certainly toasty during a heat wave so keep that in mind). The salmon plate is my go-to and it's so much food - great value for the price. I love that you get the option to choose your sauce and a pickle and the charred lemon is a small but great addition. I've had better pita elsewhere, but theirs does the trick for dipping in their fresh dips and I've never left here unsatisfied. Some mention parking is hard but I've never had too much trouble after searching for a couple minutes on the side streets. Will absolutely keep this place is my rotation for weekend lunches.
