Everything here is amazing the food the service and the atmosphere. Some of the best Mediterranean food I have had. Not many places give you an option of chicken thigh or chicken breast on a kebab and that should tell you a lot right there .... The chicken sandwiches are also amazing the pork sandwich is amazing be sure and add a green chili no matter what ..If I'm ever in the area I'm stopping by here oh and I'm also grabbing some baklava lol read more

If you're in the Burbank area and looking for a filling balanced plate of delicious food, come support the friendly owners of Tonir Cafe. Metered street parking is plentiful. There is plenty of indoor seating and a few outdoor seats with sun shades. Food is prepared fresh and quickly. I ordered the beef lule kabob, which was tender and seasoned perfectly. The rice was fluffy and buttery. I chose the hummus and tabbouleh among their multiple options for my two sides, which complemented the kabobs so well. Come support this local small business! read more

Listen to me when I say...you must stop by here. Their beef shish is something of another world. Delicate with bold flavor. The location is clean and the lovely lady taking our order was extremely friendly and caring. I had quite a few questions and she was extremely patient in answering ensuring that we had what we needed and wanted. The vibe was calm and chill the perfect place to grab some delicious food and wholesome time. read more

This place is an absolute gem! It's spacious, spotless, and the staff is always so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The food is simply exquisite. I've honestly wanted to keep this place a secret because I love it so much , but they deserve a shout-out because this restaurant is truly amazing. My go-to dishes are the lamb chops and the chicken breast kabob, but honestly, everything on the menu is delicious. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every dish. I also love that it's an authentic mom-and-pop shop with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back. If you're looking for incredible food and outstanding service, this place is a must-try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Tonir Cafe - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

Wish we had a 3.5 star option. Friendly staff and pretty quick food. You have to order at the counter and then your food will come to your table. For the prices that's ok..portions are small but everything is bland. Meat is great well seasoned maybe even over seasoned and do not know why it would be spicy but it is. Will not be returning. read more

Found this place on yelp today and must say what a hidden GEM it is. Family ran business with the absolute best tasting kabob I've had in the local community. Lamb chops definite must! Shish kabob was amazing too. High quality charcoal cooked food like at home. My new go to spot. Get the 32 plate. You won't regret it. read more

Tonir Cafe - This was the chicken shish and beef Lule combo plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

I love this place for takeout and the dine-in experience is just as great. This is a great local, family-run spot to support. The service is warm and quick, and the interior is spacious and quiet. I'd be surprised if there's ever a long wait-time to sit down. If you dine-in, it might just feel like you've rented the entire restaurant out. This time I got a beef lule place with french fries, pita bread, eggplant caviar, and tubule, another plate of beef shish kabobs with hummus, rice, pita bread, and roasted tomato, and we were given a complimentary walnut baklava. I loved the richness of the eggplant caviar, the acidity of the tubule, the perfectly seasoned, tender beef lule, and crisp exterior or the french fries. What really took me by surprised was the baklava. It was flakey, nutty, and not overly-syrupy or sweet with a crunchy, lightly candied top shell. I also enjoyed the Georgian lemonade, which wasn't really lemonade but actually a soda. I'm told it tastes like Big Red, but I can't confirm since I've never had that soda. read more

Great place, nice people and good food with a lot of taste . Always stop there when I'm working in Burbank or Glendale for lunch

I just had the most amazing chicken breast kabob and chicken lule I have ever had. Super tasty, well seasoned and the best charcoal taste. I'll be back here asap read more

I love this place, service is quick. They have amazing food & prices. The lamb chops are my favorit and if you want a quick snack. The shish sandwiches. Everytime I'm come here i get treated like family!! read more

I googled a new spot to try and found them near my house. It's out of the way near all industrial businesses so you would never expect it but there is a lot of parking space. The restaurant is also pretty big with a lot of tables so seating won't be an issue. Their service is great. I was immediately greeted when I walked in and was helped with anything I needed. The lady was very friendly and accommodating. We ended up ordering 4 skewers, 2 drinks (yogurt and san pellegrino) and jalapeno hummus. The hummus came with small pita but since we are on a no carb diet she brought us small cucumbers on the house. The food came out all in one big plate family style. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Not too dry or undercooked. We ordered chicken lule, beef skewer, pork skewer, and pork ribs. All of that combined with drinks and hummus came out to be $83. Delicious food AND extremely affordable? I will definitely be coming back PS: Pork ribs were the MVP, definitely must try read more

We found a great Mediterranean Restaurant here in Burbank and it's a family owned. Very nice ambiance, food was so yummy and very delicious. Everyone was so nice and friendly. We have a fantastic dinner night and mostly excellent service. A huge shoutout to NINA, who served us, for making our night very special and fun. She told us the name of all the appetizers and all different kind of meat that was so tender and juicy. This place is very inviting to celebrate any occasions either casual lunch, dinner date or friends and family gatherings. Highly recommend this place to All my Families and Friends. I loved this Mediterranean Restaurant!!! read more

i just lef there with a rather large take out order for a groupo and, I've been coming to Tonir Café since 2019, and I can honestly say I've never had a single bad dish. Everything is consistently delicious and perfectly cooked every single time. It's rare to find a place that gets it right every time, but Tonir absolutely delivers. One of my absolute favorite things is their homemade salad dressing -- it's so good, I've been trying to recreate it at home (they won't share the recipe, and I don't blame them!). It's that unforgettable balance of fresh, tangy, and savory that makes even the simplest salad feel like a treat. The food is flavorful, fresh, and made with obvious care. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a hearty meal. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on one of Burbank's best-kept secrets! read more

We loved this place so much we came here twice in three days - with all of Burbank (and LA) to choose from! Chicken Kebab (dark meat) Tabouli salad were our favorites You can also do the Vegetarian plate with salad instead of rice. Great choice for low carb Their Armenian ribs and coffee were also delicious! read more

This place is bomb. I have been here 4 times and always get the same thing (chicken kabob with no rice, all Greek salad with hummus and yogurt). Their chicken get marinated for 24 hours and is delicious. Food comes out fast and staff are friendlym I just have 2 recommendations for them: 1. The olives in the Greek salad from today's visit, all had pit in there. Almost broke my tooth. I recommend removing them or letting the customers know. 2. The big wall across from the mirror side is too bland. A few picture frames would make the interior pop/nicer. I will definitely go back here again when I have clients in the area. read more

Tonir Cafe - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

Food: 5/5 Small mom and pop shop. Quality of food is amazing, quantity is also plentiful. Flavor is well done. Service: 3/5 There is not really service. If you need something, you need to go to the register. The food is more of a drop off at your table. The quality of the food and decent company is more than sufficient to beat the semi lack of service read more

Tonir Cafe - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

The chicken had some good flavor and spices to it. The fries had that flavorful Cajun spice to it and the dill yogurt was fresh. I didn't try their lule which I regret. The hummus was disappointing though. The texture was more like a glue feeling to it and the color of it was really off. It didn't taste as great. The service was slow even though there was not many people. It is at a random location. The beef was okay and could have had more seasoning to it. read more

Ordered the chicken kabob and it was very good. Large portion of food for a good price. Everything had great flavor and tasted fresh. Will be back for more! read more

Tonir Cafe - Chicken Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

We had about 10 people over and ordered three Tonir plates, and we were absolutely blown away by the food. The quality, the flavor, and every detail of the meal were incredible. I also can not say enough great things about the staff, I have a gluten allergy so I called ahead spoke to Margaret and she was so accommodating and kind, even substituting one of the sides for a gluten-free option. Everything was fantastic from start to finish! We will definitely be back! read more

We reserved the entire restaurant for a business lunch and it was amazing, start to finish! Margaret and Nina did a phenomenal job planning with us and sending us menu and space options. They were very accommodating for and communicative about our group's many dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegetarian, soy free, and dairy free). They prepped the space so well for our group of 40 (four long tables that seated 10 each) and we were even able to hook up a laptop to one of the TVs to show slides. Everyone RAVED about the food -- they served us family style, and every single dish was incredible. The quantities were extremely generous as well. We had gluten-free pita for GF folks, falafel for vegetarian folks, and noted which dishes contained dairy or soy. We had tabouleh, pickled veggies, salad, hummus, pita, skewers, beef and chicken, and rice, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The Eldora (milk pie), baklava, and Armenian coffee for dessert sealed the deal for everyone. This was extremely affordable price-wise as well. We would highly recommend this spot for any business lunches! read more

Mediocre at best. We came from the airport and thought with so many reviews it would be a fun place to try. Took SO. LONG. to cook our food and it wasn't very very flavorful. The prices were high for the quantity and quality. We left unsatisfied and wishing we could go have another lunch. The staff was very nice. The place was a big room with big tables and a loud tv. From some of the photos it seems like it gets busy so I assumed it was tasty and comfortable. Not so much of either. There are a LOT of places with the same food nearby that I would suggest you try first. read more

Wow!! I got their chicken plate and it was some of the juiciest most delicious chicken I've ever had. Was so impressed with the food when we got it for takeout, would totally eat here again! read more

They're located near the train track. Pin down well your navigator and you can't go wrong! Spot the "OPEN" sign in the white building of the name Tonir Cafe. This place serves wonderful Armenian food. I don't know when I fell in love with Mediterranean grills, but I know you can get one of the best here. It's CHARCOAL-GRILLED!! After having charcoal-grilled, you don't want to go back to electric-grilled, believe me? TBH I was really impressed on how good it was. I didn't know the difference until I knew it.. haha Here is my Mediterranean paradise. main: salmon + chicken lule + rice side: eggplant caviar + yogurt cucumber Their rice has an aromatic scent that I've never found anywhere else. It makes it's very very very good and goes really well with charcoal-grilled meat. I requested a mix of salmon and chicken lule half-half into one plate, which turned out to be a right decision because I love these two types of meat and they're just GREAT here. Salmon literally melts in the mouth and chicken lule is very tender. Also, perfect seasoning! If you're undecided, just for the charcoal, it's worth it. I really appreciate their effort of charcoal grilling under 110+ heat - probably comparable to having a Christmas fireplace in Sahara desert. But you eat it in an air-conditioned room of course. read more

This place is a Hidden Gem. I landed at Burbank airport and was starving from my travels. I found this place and was really pleased at the quality of the food, the array of options and the size of the portions. I genuinely felt that this was a good value for what we got and I would definitely eat here regularly if I lived near by. Don't let the outside fool you. This place will give you a great food experience. read more

I was visiting from out of town and starving. My family tasked me with picking a spot for a late lunch. I yelped for Armenian food and came across Tonir and a five-star review my mom left 8 years ago!!! Needless to say, the food is still great. My mom remembered one of the staff who still works there and chatted with them for a bit. It was a sweet moment. We ordered food at the bar to enjoy at the restaurant. No one was there, but during our meal, a couple parties stopped by. The food took about 20 minutes to prepare, which my mom also remembered. However, with food this good, it doesn't matter...at least to us. I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken kabob plate (toum, rice, hummus, and tzatziki) and literally ate everything. My mom got the lule kabob plate with rice, tabouleh, and hummus. My aunt got the chicken kabob with French fries, pickled veggies, and hummus. The French fries were great and I'm glad she got them. The pickled veggies also came with a nice assortment. It was nice to have multiple people to try multiple sides ;) We were all so happy to share a meal together at Tonir's and look forward to returning soon. Don't let the odd location deter you--stop by for a delicious meal! One note: As one review I saw mentioned, staff were not wearing masks, so take-out might be something worth considering. read more

The best Armenian BBQ Sandwich. I have only tried the sandwich, and I have tried it from different places. They make it very well. It's home-style fresh. You must get it with Lavash bread. It's tucked away in Burbank, CA. You can order for delivery, sit inside, or take out. The quality of the food and ingredients is on point. read more

A true taste of homemade Armenian cooking. very worthy of all 5 stars best place for a quick bite or to catch up with friends.

Food (lamb chops awesome but the Cornish chicken was tasteless). Great for lunch but not a quick lunch as there might be a 15-20 min wait before you get your food. Staff very helpful. read more
