Andrea C.

a great spot to go to especially because it is so close to the burbank airport and the food is great

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!

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

Beef Shish Kabob AL

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.

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.

First time at this place and I'm adding it to my favorite list of restaurants, the food sooo delicious, the service was great, very friendly owner, and very clean and great ambiance.

Clean place and great food with great service. Couldn't have asked for anything else.

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.

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.

This is not the best Armenian restaurant in the world. It is also not the most glamorous, the most…read moretrendy, nor the most ambitious. But it is without question the most important Armenian restaurant in the world. Armenians are simultaneously a diaspora people, a people of the book, and an old country people. Therefore, odd as it may seem, it is entirely appropriate that the most important Armenian restaurant in the world should not be located in Armenia at all, but should serve a diaspora community in a way that makes them feel connected to home, both interns of cuisine and in terms of communal warmth. Technically, this is more of a Lebanese restaurant than an Armenian restaurant, but that hardly matters. It's a place of celebration, merriment, laughter, and tears. In short, it is THE gathering place for Armenians in Southern California. Because of its fame and importance, the thing that is consistently overlooked about this restaurant is just how excellent the food is. Bring a Lebanese expat here and you will invariably hear them say after the first bite of hummus that it doesn't compare to the hummus they used to enjoy in Beirut. By the middle of the bowl, they will say that it actually is not as bad as they first thought. By the end of the bowl they will declare that this hummus ranks among the greatest they have ever tasted. Carousel does not overwhelm you. It seduces you. And you'll be back.

It was my first time going to a Lebanese restaurant and Hayat's Kitchen was spectacular!…read more Hayat's Kitchen located in the center corner of a mini shopping center on the corner of Vineland Avenue & Burbank Boulevard in North Hollywood. Beautifully shaded outdoor patio with lush green astroturf carpeting. The outdoor seating area is dog friendly. The tables are decorated with beautiful placemats, plates and rolled up silverware. The waiter was friendly, placed a basket of pita bread for the table and helped describe some of the Lebanese dishes for me. Ordered an iced tea, fries and a chicken wrap. Went inside of the restaurant to use the restroom and on my way I saw the amazing desserts station, vintage serving trays & gold coffee pots, some classic framed photos of Lebanon on the walls, the kitchen and the indoor dining area. This was an amazing lunch and will come back to try more of the delicious food!

We really loved everything except the pitas. Would have been nice if they were warmed up at least. Everyone was very helpful in the restaurant and we also loved the lemonade with rose water and dessert. They even gave us some ladyfingers on the house. Would definitely return!

Their grilled chicken Caesar wrap is fantastic…read more Crunchy falafel bits and a spicy dressing make it stand out in a city with several very good chicken Caesar wrap choices. Here's how I think the ones I've had stack up.... 1. Mini Kabob. Non traditional dressing but the flavor is well balanced with fresh ingredients and tender chicken thigh meat on a very good tortilla. Slightly pricier than the others but worth it. 2. Ggiata. The best of the more traditional grilled chicken wraps with crunchy croutons inside and an outstanding tortilla. Their traditional Caesar dressing on the side is very good. The Venice location tastes better than the one in Highland Park. 3. Highly Likely (Highland Park). Very good wrap but without any croutons or crunchy elements. Solid tortilla but the dressing on the side isn't as flavorful as the top two. 4. Sweetgreen (Pasadena). Best of the chain restaurants. Good but can be a bit too salty. Their Chicken Cali Club wrap is actually better balanced flavor-wise. The wrap here is smaller but still good. All the above wraps were satisfying and filling with the one from Sweetgreen being the smallest.

The flavors hit the spot, and the extra dressing on the side took it to another level. The lule was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the rice was on point--fluffy and moist. The hummus had the perfect texture as well. Honestly, I can't complain about the food. I was initially going to complain about the price, but after tasting the flavor and quality, I'd say it was worth every penny. Also, shout-out to Armen--very nice guy who brings some seriously positive energy. I'll definitely be back!
