    My Go-to meal. Chicken Kabob Plate along with an extra pita bread....it's outstanding!!!
    Keyonda A.

    This review is actually from my first visit on Saturday, September 19th. Was helped by Fernando..one of the team members with an awesome smile. I'm familiar with the different dishes that are offered here. I've visited the location on Sunset. It was awesome and from the looks of things here at this location it's no different. This location took over a ln old restaurant that was located here. They fixed up the location pretty well. They made good use of the open space in the lobby area where orders are placed. They even placed comfortable order benches right in the area where the orders are placed. Very neat. No need to walk far after placing or picking up your order. The ambience is beautiful. The other team members although they didn't deal directly with me contributed to the ambience in the air (Annessa being one of them). You can feel the positive attitudes in each of them. The music played was awesome as well. Very soothing for relaxation and dining. The service and food was so awesome that I came again the very next day for another meal. Fernando has an awesome memory to go with that smile because he not only remembered my face but also remembered that I othered through the app on my last visit. He pointed my name out to another team member on the screen and greeted me. I love the vibe here and more than all else the food of course. So I will be frequenting often.

    1/4 Chicken Meal
    Tony B.

    We had two 1/4 Chickens w/ Cucumber Salad, Basmati Rice, Pita Bread & Garlic Sauce. The rotisserie chicken is very good with a very good spice rub. The cucumber salad was especially good it tasted very fresh and was refreshing. The 2 little peppers are good but surprisingly hot. I loved them but be aware if you are heat adverse. Just pass them over to me! The garlic sauce was good and went well with the meal but it was a weird consistence that made it hard to use. The 1/4 chicken meal was quit filling. Definitely a good value for the price :) This location has only been opened a few months so its no surprise that looks brand new but they do keep it, along with the parking lot nice and clean. The staff is also friendly and helpful. Something that is especially nice for a first timer.

    Chicken Kabob Plate (with extra $6 kabob) Yum Garlic Sauce!
    Toshi I.

    So glad Zankou is here in the South Bay! I first tried Zankou's in Montebello. Who would think that chicken skewers can be soooo good especially with their addicting garlic sauce. Please note that although the business names are the same, these are two different restaurants that started from the same original family but distinctively unique. I love both locations and glad to have one close by. (Note: However, the Montebello location does offer french fries.) For just 6 bucks more, I ordered one extra chicken skewer for my plate. My plate came with a fresh cucumber condiment. I appreciated that at the counter they asked if I wanted the roasted tomato which I did not. The hummus and of course, the garlic sauce was delicious. The Hubs ordered the Tri-Tip Shawrma Wrap which he enjoyed. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious lunch, check Zankou's out. Parking in the lot. The interior has nice window shades, so at first, I thought the place was closed! It's very clean inside with plenty of seating and the staff was really nice. Highly recommend.

    Hummus, shredded chicken, tzatziki
    Tiffany B.

    One of the best things about this place is the staff! Everyone I've encountered is always upbeat and they provide great service. The food is consistently fresh. Nice portion sizes. Tarna chicken is my favorite protein but I also go with the shredded chicken for salads. Dine-in area is always kept clean and the tables are wiped down often by the staff. Ample seating. This was a great addition to the South Bay! I hope they stay for a long while.

    I have never tried Zankou chicken prior to this location opening up. Out of all of the Mediterranean restaurants in the area this has to be favorite out of them all and is constantly on our lunch rotation for the office. The sides are delicious and I especially love the pickled radish and cucumber salad. The garlic sauce is a must.

    Tri tip shawerma
    Jimmy S.

    Good place for a quick Mediterranean bite. The staff was super nice and suggestive. I got the tri-tip shawerma. It was fairly tender and good mixture of sauce and the sides were great with the pickled turnips and hummus and pita chips. Overall decent fast casual meal spot that has been a long time coming for the southbay

    Chicken Kabob Plate
    Zeeshan Q.

    Zankou chicken offers some delicious food at a great price point. They have ample parking and are located right off Hawthorne blvd. I ordered the chicken kabob plate, which comes with marinated and roasted chicken kabobs over a bed of rice with salad and hummus. I chose their tabbouleh salad, and it was fresh and minty, a great choice. Their kabobs were juicy and tender, and their hummus was some of the best I've had in the South Bay. Don't sleep on their mint cucumber lemonade either; a bit sour at first but it is very refreshing. Highly recommend trying this place out.

    1/2 Chicken combo
    Ty D.

    I heard a lot about Zankou Chicken and decided to check this place out. I went with the half chicken, with cucumber salad and humus. It came with 2 pitas and garlic sauce. Got the order for take out. Service was friendly. There's several tables to dine in. The chicken was good, but lacked flavor / seasoning. And the breast was a bit dry. The cucumber salad and humus were good. But the sides were on the smaller portion compared to my favorite go to Mediterranean place. The garlic sauce was very thick. The price is a few dollars less than my go to Med place. There's plenty of off street parking.

    I had come here for their soft opening and the service and food was terrific. I had a free bowl for my birthday which was Choose your base: basmati rice, romaine lettuce or 50/50. Pick a protein and two toppings. Garnished with kalamata olives, feta cheese, and cilantro. Choose your two favorite sauces! I had chicken, half rice half salad with tzatziki and tabbouleh. Food and service still terrific.

    Lemon tahini. As I type that, my mouth is watering. It's a sauce I would drizzle on almost everything, maybe even ice cream (don't judge). Tabbouleh, famous garlic sauce, spicy harissa, mutabbal, basmati, hummus, spiced onions, roasted tomato, chicken and shish skewers...are all the regularly ordered items from Zankou. That says a lot. And it also means I'll be ordering them again and again. And again. Fresh, savory, delicious and in the neighborhood! What a delight to be greeted upon entering. The offer to help was spoken in unison by a few workers. Four helping me all at once. Now that is service attentiveness and I'm addicted. An airy and clean dining room and service so friendly you almost can't get enough. I took our order to go because for our Super Bowl nosh. Can I say how much I enjoyed taking a year off from preparing a snack spread? It was glorious. And that I filled the time with easy online ordering and enjoying the food knowing I had no kitchen clean up was a huge bonus. So glad you're in the neighborhood!

    Combo Tarna and Shawarma Plate
    Jynelle Christine S.

    I used to live in DTLA and frequented the Zankou there so I was super excited for this one to open here in the South Bay! Finally got a chance to visit and got the tarna & shawarma combo plate with tabbouleh, salad and tzatziki. Also ordered thru the app and got a free side of pita chips :) Food was so good and meat was super tender and flavorful as I remembered it! The tabbouleh was also really good and refreshing! The service was also impeccable- we initially got our food to go but decided to eat at the restaurant instead. When one of the servers noticed this, she asked if I wanted my pita heated up which was so nice of her Lastly, we got a chance to sample their chicken lentil soup which I'm definitely ordering next time! It was hearty, savory and delicious! Highly recommend and so happy they came to the South Bay!

    Zankou Chicken, Mediterranean food with purpose... I was quietly waiting and watching for Zankou Chicken to finally open!! I was glad when I saw the small parking lot full with hungry customers on rotation going in and out. First timer at Zankou and I can tell you this- the herbs, spices, garlic, onions and proteins have to be the freshest on the planet . Today's order- Chicken and Beef Tarna Plate with basmati rice , cucumber salad and cabbage salad. Chicken and Beef seasoned, tender, thinly sliced over a bed of basmati rice. The cucumbers, onions and tomatoes were so fresh in the salad and a righteous amount of flavor... I loved the thinly sliced cabbage mixed with lemon and seasonings. The garlic sauce needs to be bottled up and sold in stores. I loved it, I am so glad I had extra. When food tastes this good- HEALTHY is the only option!!! Thanks Jared for being the best part of Zankou Chicken - he helped me with my order and didn't rush me to make a selection!!! I am so glad Zankou Chicken is so close by!!! Thank Zankou Chicken- Mediterranean Food With Purpose!!!

    Carolyn M.

    New location with good ole classic Zankou meals! This is one of the restaurants where I'll surely finish my plate. The seating area is nice but could use some cleaning in between patrons are there was some wet puddles and unkept tables. However the service was great and the food was delicious. The chicken tarna could be a little more moist, next time I'll get the rotisserie or kabob to try them. Everything else was great!

    Delicious Tzatziki and Mutabol

Anyway... after (literally) 20 min of sitting and staring at the menu, I finally decided on a Cobb salad. I know, I know. Judge me all you want. But after not having a Cobb salad for almost 7 years (probably even more), I was craving something incredibly....... boring? But this was not. It was actually exactly what I was looking for in a Cobb salad. Protein. Greens to make me feel healthy. Enough space in my stomach for a dessert. I was extremely happy with my decision. I also had a tres leches cake which was delish (tbh I'll probably get the red velvet next time just to say I had it) The service is amazing. The people who work here are so sweet and attentive and helpful. Can't wait to come back and try their other items. Maybe I'll even do my homework next time!

I've never eaten in, but I've picked up food from here twice and have enjoyed their food at my sister's house at least one other time. The first thing I don't understand is how this place is in Torrance rather than Redondo Beach. I don't mean that I don't understand why they chose Torrance over Redondo Beach; I mean that I just don't understand the two cities' boundaries very well, because this feels like straight-up North Redondo to me. The second thing I don't understand is how this place hasn't expanded or multiplied or otherwise won the hearts and minds and stomachs of South Bayers near and far. But maybe it already has. The third thing I don't understand is why I don't come here more often. It's not that far from my sister's house, and I was dog-sitting there earlier this year. . . . I'm fresh out of things I don't understand. What I do understand is that the owners of this place (an Armenian brother and sister?) are amazing. The food is so good and fresh and flavorful. The menu is kind of all over the place, which in most cases is a red flag, but in the case of more than one restaurant owned and operated by Armenians (I'm including my cousin's restaurant before he sold it and retired), the more different items on the menu, the better. Or at least it's not a red flag. I promise. The combo deal is legit, but even without that deal, the prices are good, especially when you consider the food quality. Writing his review now makes me miss King Mediterrano even though I don't normally miss it or think about it. Those days are over. Next time I have calories to collect in the South Bay, I'm headed straight for Redondo Beach Boulevard.
