Grilled fresh!
Ted H.

As with everything, and bit on the pricey side...but I will say it felt it was worth it. We ordered the #11beef and chicken combo plate (falafel + salad side) and a #22 beef wrap (hummus side). The salad with combo was very good, not just some greens thrown on the plate. There was lettuce, spinach, and chopped tomato with cucumber. Dressing was not the typical yogurt, but a citrus oil that was very good. The falafel side was an order u to itself, and was piping hot/fresh! The beef in the wrap was the same as the combo plate (not the luleh/ground meat). Wow!! It was grilled to perfection and tender!! The chicken was also very thick, not fatty, and very flavorful. Beware the toum (garlic spread)...it's POTENT . Super bonus points for giving extra bread (lavash) with dinner. It was the perfect amount with the extra hummus and my combo plate. Cons: no pickles with the combo plate. Water is $2/bottle for Costco/Kirkland, which I don't understand as all their utensils and plates are not plastic, so why not offer tap water, too? Parking lot is very "active" with the laundromat next door.

If you're looking for amazing Mediterranean food, York Kabob is ALWAYS the spot. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Everything perfectly seasoned, the portions are more than generous, and everything tastes authentic and homemade. What really makes this place stand out is the owner. Leo took care of us, and you can tell he truly cares about their customers and take pride in the restaurant. The service is welcoming, friendly, and consistent every single time. This is one of those local gems you want to support again and again. Highly recommend York Kabob to anyone craving great Mediterranean food and great service. I'll always be back!

Several years later, everything was positive. The takeout was nicely arranged in its box, looked appealing, and the salad leaves were fresh. The kabob meat (chicken and lamb) were both wonderfully tender and juicy. The rice was a very charming base. All taken together, the place was delicious and worth the money. PREVIOUS REVIEW There are two locations, one in Pasadena, one in Eagle Rock. What do I expect for a quick lunch place?? Quick (as it says), good quality food, and reasonable price. This place meets most of these criteria: the wrap I chicken chose from a whole variety of Mediterranean choices was fresh, juicy and I would not hesitate to try more items from the menu; it is comparably pricy (14.21$ with beloved diet coke); but most importantly the service was (despite emptiness of the place and acknowledged by the chef with an apology) exceedingly slow. Thanks that I have an iPhone ...

I have been going to this place for years. I'm very friendly staff and good relaxing ambience, the food is always delicious and what I like specifically about this place is that the meat is juicy and flavorful. This service is usually relatively fast. Have enough tables and also parking space.

Chicken & Beef Kabob Combo Plate and Medium baba ganoush side and free eggplant dip.
Deidre M.

My car was in the shop and I was starving so we ordered a late lunch via Delivery through DoorDash yesterday. I received $7 off bc it was placed during "happy hour promo" window on the app but still came out to $35 with taxes, fees tip. I ordered the chicken kebab + beef lule kabob combo, medium size Babaganoush and received a free small eggplant tomato dip. The meat was of high quality for sure, but I found the combo to be a bit lackluster for the price $25. I thought the salad would've been a cucumber type when it was just bagged lettuce with a weird vinegar type dressing and some rice. No hummus, or other vegetable or spread side came with it. Note: I could've received the grilled pepper and tomato instead of the salad. The medium size baba ghanouj was also small when comparing with other places (and didn't come with bread). Both dip and garlic spread seem to have a lot of ground pepper in it. I also didn't realize that this would be served with lavash instead of pita bread - but it makes sense learning later that this is a more a Persian establishment. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I probably will try other places.

Lamb chops

used to love dining at Elena's in Glendale, but after the change in ownership, both the prices and the food shifted. Recently, I've been going to York Kabob, and it's starting to bring back the feeling of how Elena's used to be. Today I tried the lamb chops, and they were excellent--perfectly seasoned, just the right amount of salt, and not at all gamy. If you're in the Highland Park, CA area, I highly recommend York Kabob. It's not fancy, but the food is consistently delicious!

Eggplant dip
Rebecca C.

Excellent service! staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is great! My steak was very fresh and the rice very tasty! The restaurant itself is clean and well kept. We got o sample the eggplant dip as we waited for our order. It was really good. Would recommend this place :)

4.5/5 stars. Came here for dinner with our friends, and overall, we enjoyed our experience. The…read moredishes are meant to be shared so you can try different dishes. 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.
