Great chicken and middle eastern food. The Tarna chicken is roasted so it can be crispy. If you want soft chicken order the regular chicken. It is very good. If you love garlic sauce in oil they give you a tub a long with the meal. They have mingle eastern vegetable sides that are also good. They cook the food fresh, to order, so if you want to eat as soon as you get to the restaurant, you need to order ahead, online or by phone. Good food and worth the wait. read more

Order at the counter, wait for your order/name to be called to pick up your order and seat yourself. It's very casual dining. I ordered the shish kabob double skewers. With tax, my total was nearly $25 for one plate. Although, the food was delicious, I feel the price is a bit steep for casual dining. I could have paid that same price at a nicer fancier restaurant. read more

An update: I was reached out to from my experience and greatly appreciate the nice customer service and being considered. I look forward to go going back. Food has always been overall, good when I go. Hopefully the portions are better next time I go, because the kabobs were not all the same cut pieces. Some were cut in half to appear as more meat but it wasn't. I appreciate the food always good and cooked well. The garlic sauce is delicious too. read more

First time eating here and glad I decided to give this place a try. The inside is clean and they have small tables outside in the shade that keep you cool. Menu was clear and easily visible. No lines and my order was taken quickly. Prices are very reasonable as well. We ordered the quarter dark and tri tip shwarma. Let's start with the tri tip shwarma. The meat was tender and flavorful and charred to perfection. They give you a good portion that will leave your stomach blissfully satisfied. Now for the chicken The chicken was cooked to perfection as well. The meat fell right off of the bone. Meat was tender, juicy and seasoned well. The pita bread, garlic sauce and hummus were also delicious. There was one area of improvement and that is cleaning the table outside. The table we sat at was not clean and no one came out to clean any of the tables while we were eating our meal. Give this place a try of you're in the area read more

Zankou Chicken - Nice menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

See all

I'm a big fan of Zankou chicken and I try to check out their various locations whenever I can. This particular location seemed fine. They had some outdoor patio tables, which was nice. The restaurant inside was spacious and clean and I thought their food was on par with the other locations. I usually order the quarter chicken dark plate which goes for $10.99. It came with hummus, diced tomatoes, pickled turnips, 2 pitas and garlic sauce. I really enjoy their garlic sauce, as it's definitely the best around. However, beware it will leaving you smelling of garlic, so I wouldn't suggest eating it before any social engagements. read more

Zankou Chicken - Quarter Chicken Dark Plate - $10.99 - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

Amazing rotisserie chicken and addictive garlic sauce! Throw some rice on the side and I'm in heaven. That's all I needed. Also had no problems asking for extra garlic sauce (as I heard they sometimes charge for that). Place was easy to find with plenty of parking. Seating inside is nice and clean, and workers were friendly. Would definitely come back again! read more

Ah, nostalgia. Do you have a place in mind that you used to love back in the day, and wonder if it's still as good as you remember? I put this question to the test with my first lunch stop back in LA at Zankou Chicken. It's been over 20 years since I've had the chance to dive into a plate of this Armenian/Mediterranean deliciousness. It did not disappoint. ZC lives in that most excellent crossroads of fast-food speed and cost, while still attaining flavor and quality that you'd expect in a sit-down restaurant. Whether classified as "Upscale Fast Casual" or "Gourmet Fast Food", I can say that it's a formula that works well for me, and I was happy to chow down on a rotisserie chicken plate, with plenty of sauce. Of course, I had to taste their other stuff by sneaking bites from the rest of my family's orders. All good, I have to say. While their chicken remains amazing, I wouldn't sell their shawerma short. Putting those tri-tip bits in the garlic sauce must be where the phrase "Holy Cow" came from. I can't tell you how happy that my long-term recollections and current day meet in a happy place. Wish I could have a ZC close to where I live. read more

Been coming here for years and it's been very tasty and consistent until this last several months. Last chicken tarna wrap I pulled out a giant hairball and tonight in my protein bowl there was a piece of a blue rubber band.. gross I give up. read more

Second time having the chicken Kebab (#14 on the menu) the food was delicious and the chicken super tender. I'm on diet and I'm currently eating chicken only so when ever I'm in a rush I just order from near by places. I had #14, no rice. The tabulen was really good and the garden salad. Although I removed the yellow peppers. The hummus and garlic butter were so good as well. read more

Zankou Chicken - My left overs. So delicious even after reheating Pita Bread - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

You can always count on Zankou for quality chicken and daily fresh pita bread. Zankou has locations in all the neighboring cities but this location is my favorite. There is plenty of seating and the staff works hard at keeping the tables wiped down and clean . On my last visit, I ordered the chicken kabob plate and everything from the rice , chicken and pita bread were exactly what you would expect from Zankou. This place only uses fresh ingredients and high quality meats. The service is awesome at this location and there is plenty of parking. Weekends are a madhouse but if you can get there on a weekday, you'll be fine. This location has plenty of outdoor seating, too. read more

Probably one my favorite places in Burbank to grab a quick meal! Love getting the Tri-Tip Shawarma plate here. The dish comes with hand-sliced beef, three sides of your choosing, garlic sauce, and two fresh pita breads. The tri-tip is absolutely delicious and they give a generous portion of it. I've tried a variety of their sides, but my go-to ones to get are definitely the cucumber salad and cabbage salad. Both of which are super refreshing with the meal and adds a nice contrast to the beef. The garlic sauce is an absolute must when I come here and I generally ask for a couple more. It goes great with the pita bread! Definitely recommend coming here if anyone is looking for some delicious food at an affordable price! read more

Excellent customer service very good delicious food I got whole chicken and a plate with chicken and beef kabobs and side I can't wait to go back read more

Good shawarma meal and inexpensive. We all also had side tabouleh and hummus. We enjoyed the food very much

They have pretty good food but their prices have gone up so much it's crazy. I still come when I'm in a hurry to get in and out just wish the prices haven't gone up so much and yes I understand inflation. Place is usually better then average clean and it's chills I live there rotisserie chicken and it the sandwich especially that garlic sauce is fire. Employees are usually nice and get my orders right. I also like that you can find this place in many different cities. Just wish the prices were better and the amount of food I feel they don't put as much as they use to. read more

I never leave reviews but I went in for lunch today, Monday at 1:30, and despite being crazy busy the guy and girl at the front were incredible. Kind, patient, and just overall friendly. Keep it up you guys were great!!! read more

The chicken tarna plate... need I say more? No, but I will for review sake. This is without a doubt the best zankou in cleanliness and service. And the chicken tarna, ofc. FIN read more

the food = always rock solid and delicious. love, love, love the rotisserie chicken here the very best! hummus and rice...just so yummy each and every time. but the best part about this particular location: the staff! omg, they are superb! special shout out to the folks i know their names: valerie; karen; kim and one other woman with a name that starts with K. they go above and beyond to assure that everything is enjoyable. the kitchen staff is also so on their game! they all deserve to be recognized and hopefully, with raises! read more

What's up with the bad reviews? Zankou is a classic, people! Sure, I am passing a dozen other Mediterranean spots on the way over, but Zankou just hits differently. It's consistent and reliable. My go to is their chicken tarna, deliciously seasoned and cut up for my eating convenience. It also comes with the standard hummus, pita and pickled radish, as well as their house made tahini. And who can forget that famous garlic sauce?? Mmm...I can put that on everything. One order is good for two meals with the large portions they give you. I'd also vouch for their lamb and roast chicken. Don't knock this place down...there is a reason they've been popular for so many years. read more

Ahhhhh.....Zankou chicken! How I love you so! I've been eating at the various Zankou Chicken locations for years. Their food is freshly prepared, full of flavor, and reasonably priced. Today was no exception. I ordered the Chicken Tarna wrap. The wrap starts with a split pita, nicely toasted and crispy on the edges, then filled with chicken, garlic spread and chopped tomatoes. Their Chicken Tarna is delicious. It is cut from a rotating Trompo or vertical rotating spit of sorts, similar to how you prepare authentic Al Pastor. The marinated chicken is layered onto a giant spike where it rotates as it cooks, allowing all of the delicious juices to spill down the side flavoring the meat. The edges of the chicken get a nice char from the heat, a nice compliment to the flavor of the marinade. And you cannot beat their garlic spread. I have no clue what is in it, only that it is insanely addictive and delicious. The only complaint I have is that the chopped tomatoes are always underripe, hard and flavorless. While I can forgive that in the winter when tomatoes are imported from pother areas, right now we are in the middle of tomato season. The is NO EXCUSE for using substandard tomatoes this time of year. As always, the meal was delicious. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. But I had to ding them one star for the tomatoes. That is inexcusable! read more

The food is good but employees need to check orders better. Whether I order in store for carry out or delivery, there are always little things missing; Pay for extra sauce or pita and it's 50/50 on whether they'll include them. I've been coming to Zankou all my life but this has happened multiple times at this location recently, very frustrating. read more

Best customer service and best food. I ordered 2 large fries for my little kids (didn't know they don't sell fries), the cashier thought I said "rice". When the order came I told them oh sorry I said fries, the manager was super nice, he said to keep the rice I ordered and I can get any other side for free (for the inconvenience). Rice and all other food (falafel, tri tip shawarma, chicken shawarma and tabouli) were amazing flavor! Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Zankou Chicken - Tri-Tip Shawerma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

I finally tried Zankou for the first time. This place is down the street from home so it's very convenient for me. The food was delicious! You actually get a pretty decent portion of food and it's filling! I got the chicken kabob plate and it was yummy. It came with 2 kabobs, rice, salad, hummus, and pita bread. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned. The hummus was amazing as well. Then there's the garlic sauce. AMAZING! It was so flavorful and delicious. My only complaint is that they don't double check the orders before they give them. I also ordered some falafel and I had to ask for it before I left because I noticed it was missing. I also asked for extra garlic sauce and that was missing too. read more

Love coming to this location. It's beautiful, clean and has a lot of seating area both indoors and outdoors. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The food tastes amazing. Always fresh and full of flavor. I love the rotisserie chicken and the shawarma. Both taste heavenly. Great portions. The prices are somewhat high compared to other chicken places but it's all worth it cause of the quality of the food. They also offer catering, perfect for this holiday season. Great location with plenty of parking space. Fast service and high quality food. You can't ask for more. Try it if you haven't . I highly recommend it. ..... I have been to many locations of Zankou Chicken and all have been serving good food for over 35 years. Their first restaurant was opened (and it's still operating) in Hollywood at the corner of Sunset and Normandie. read more

It's weird ordering chicken tarna here on a busy Saturday evening. Sure there's lots of orders but DAYUM 1 HOUR WAIT sitting here and the tarna is right in front of me. Just cut the tarna and let me eat. Manager needs to observe and adjust- the wait should not be this ridiculous read more

This is a nice location of Zankou. Spacious dining room and outdoor patio, and friendly service. We had the chicken tarna bowl. Yes, they have bowls, which come with rice, 2 toppings, a sauce, feta, and olives. I actually prefer the bowl over the plates. You can even get the roasted chicken in a bowl. A good spot for a casual lunch! read more

I ordered the best chicken kebab ever it was really good and seasoned perfectly. The Rice was the perfect consistency loved that to. The hummus was so flavorful and the side salad with cucumbers was Refreshing, And every meal comes with a side of two pita breads EXCELLENT! The service was really nice they were joyful and kind. When I came in it was like a normal restaurant we got to go so we did not stay in there a long time. I would 100% recommend Zankou Chicken. read more

It's one of favorite family chains to eat at. My usual order consist of the chicken plate with hummus, rice, pickled veggies, and pita bread. The place was pretty busy for a Monday night and it took us over 15 minutes to receive our food. The food was good but for some reason I think it needed to be flavored better. Each location food taste a different and is not consistent as different family members run each location separately. read more

Zankou Chicken - Food resid - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

I came during the coronavirus shutdown and got takeout. I ordered the combo plate with lule and chicken. I think it comes with rice, cucumber salad, hummus, and pita. (If not, then thats what I asked for.) Since its ground, the lule is seasoned and flavorful and moist. I also think they use chicken thigh for the kabob so its not dry-as-hell breast. But my favorite part was smothering it all with the garlic sauce, omg... SO HEAVENLY. And it's also a pretty large portion so I save it for 2 meals. Zankou Chicken is always a good choice. read more

We've been poisoned :( Ordered online for pick-up on Thursday night. Got the chicken tarna, roasted chicken and beef luleh wraps. My guy got sick that night/the next morning. I got sick Friday night. It truly feels awful - violent food poisoning, fever, shuddering chills. I missed a big event on Saturday because I couldn't get out of bed. I'm not sure if it was the chicken or the tomatoes. Nonetheless, we won't be back. Also, annoying but I called to let them know and was on hold for 15 minutes just to notify them. Was just hoping they'd check the food to make sure no one else gets sick. read more

As I was visiting my Lebonese friend, and former co-worker, who I last saw in 2001, I mentioned that it's time for my dinner. His daughter recommended Zankou. At first, I thought I'd be going myself since I didn't know when they eat dinner. But, my friend said, "Let me get my hat, and I'll go with you (a good thing, as the street I remembered, wasn't the same now). So, we got up to the counter. Not knowing what to order, my suggested the Beef and Chicken kabob combo. Our cashier was very nice when she took our order. When the meal was ready, they had placed it in to-go containers vs on a plate. But, that didn't detract from the delicious tastes of this Middle-Eastern dish. Since everything is made to order, it took awhile for our buzzer to start buzzing. As we ate, he told me that the company had originated in Lebanon, and he and 2 family members would go there every week. While the menu has changed some, the quality and tastes remain. So, we got, "a taste of the old country, without going to the old country". Since I never tried these dishes before, I was eager to dive in. Other than the chicken being a bit dry around the edges, everything fantastic (we had the same dish). read more
