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

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.

This was the chicken shish and beef Lule combo plate

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.

It's a nice change of pace to most middle eastern garlic sauce. I also love the eggplant and the red pepper dip here, goes amazing with their pita bread. Honestly nothing I've had is bad here but those are my favorites. They also have great steak and lamb. The service and hospitality has always been top notch. I highly recommend this spot!

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.

We ordered out own plates. One 1/4 white chicken, chicken tarna, and chicken kabob plate. Each plate includes a side (we got the cucumber salad), rice, hummus, and pita bread. We added a small side of tabbouleh. All of that totaled to around $58, which was not bad at all. We even had enough to take leftovers home. Everything is delicious and tasty. My favorite thing here is the garlic sauce! It is to die for. I am going to have to come back and try their whole chickens. I wish the person calling out orders would call out the ENTIRE order when it's complete, rather than calling the items out individually as they are ready. I was standing by the counter, and she told me to come back when she calls me it is ready. This Zankou location is very big with indoor and outdoor seating.

The place is small but clean and seems good for a quick meal or takeout. When we tried the food at home, we all had the same opinion, the chicken luleh was a little too dry for our taste and not moist as a good chicken luleh should be. I've had chicken luleh many times at different restaurants and homemade, so I have a pretty good idea of how I personally like it. The food wasn't bad, but I think there is definitely some room for improvement, especially with the moisture and texture of the chicken. Overall, I would give my experience 3 stars. The place was clean and the staff was friendly, but for me, the food itself is the most important part of the rating. Unfortunately, the chicken dishes were too dry for my taste. This is simply my personal experience and preference, and I hope it can be taken as constructive feedback. I'm not saying people should avoid this place, everyone has different tastes, so I think it's still worth trying and making your own judgment. For me personally, though, the chicken dishes just didn't quite meet my expectations.

I KNEW that this spot was going to be fantastic, simply based on the fact that they offer Syrian cuisine. I went during non-peak hours and, to my surprise, I was the only customer there at the time. I was greeted by an older gentleman who took my order and made everything on the spot. I had ordered a beef shawarma wrap, falafel, and muhammara. While waiting for my order, I sat in the dining room and took in the whimsical decor. There were quite a few handwritten signs with quotes that I enjoyed reading and gave me a good laugh. The dining room itself is spacious and well lit. Once my order was ready to go, I grabbed it from the ordering counter and dug right in. The falafel was fried to a perfect crisp and I LOVED that they were (obviously) Syrian style; beige on the inside (no parsley or greens are included in the mix). The tahini sauce on the side complimented the falafel perfectly! I did prefer the muhammara to be slightly more peppery and seasoned, but overall it was okay. I enjoyed the pita bread that it came with. And of course, the main star of the show was the beef shawarma roll. That was well balanced between beef, veggies, and bread. The beef itself was seasoned well and I really enjoyed the parsley/onion in it. The pickled turnips on the side were fantastic! I LOVE anything pickled on the side of shawarma; it's an essential for me! Overall, I had a great experience at Aleppo grill! If you're looking for a solid spot, definitely stop by and give it a try!
