    Zankou chicken was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the combination plate containing both the beef and chicken skewers and I did feel full after. The tenderness of the chicken was delicious and the beef was meaty! As a fellow protein lover - this was perfect! With the combination plate you get the choice of 3 sides - so you have a variety of options to make the dish your own. I opted for rice, tzatziki sauce, and a garden salad. The plate also comes with naan and garlic sauce (be sure to get the garlic sauce!). I personally like my food spicy so I also got additional chili peppers on the side. As a heads up, the food is fresh and you can see them preparing the skewers so you may have a slight wait. Overall pretty tasty!

    Beef Kebab Wrap

    This spot was pretty average for Mediterranean food. We ordered at the counter and then took our seats. The food surprisingly took quite a while to arrive--about 15-20 minutes, which felt long for a fast-casual style restaurant. Beef Kebab Wrap - The wrap used very basic, premade pita bread, like the kind you'd see sitting on the counter. The meat was a bit chewy, though the flavors were decent. Overall, it was average at best. (3.5/5) Overall, it was decent, but not somewhere I'd think of first when craving Mediterranean food. Parking - Plentiful they have a lot in front.

    Chicken lule

    I was there yesterday and I ordered the chicken lule and it was dry and it just doesn't taste like anything. Did you change management or cook?

    Disappointed isn't even the word!!!

    No tzaziki, no tabbouleh.. no harissa sauce. What do you have??? Rather drive to Pasadena where you don't auger to hear we don't carry, we don't have, we are a smaller location. Small or not, that goes with the food! Smh. Not coming back here again.

    It's as good as it looks. This gorgeous plate of rotisserie chicken with all the sides tastes just as incredible. The chicken is tender and juicy, skin is crispy and rendered down with the slow roasting. The garlic sauce is to die for, and no one can make it like Zankou. The salad was so yummy and fresh. This is a great value for all the food that you get.

    Blackened old beef* poor beef had seen better days Disgusting, cashier tried to tell me they would carve the dry bits out! Also a bunch of chickens packed sitting counter ( I wasn't about to get that either) how long have they been sitting there with no heat lamp?

    No key needed for men's room......
    Dirk P.

    The food here was ok, a lot of people are actually ordering take out. I immediately noticed an interesting note, the Women's room needs a key but the Men's room does not require a key. Now you probably are asking yourself: why??? Are women just messy and they want to prevent unauthorized access? No, not really, the reason is that there is a hole in the wall of the women's restroom that cockroaches come through, really big cockroaches. Please don't go to this restaurant, it is infested. UPDATE 9/2/2025 This is in response to the Owner's response. I noticed the signs at first, I did not enter the bathrooms until later. The restaurant is also not in compliance with the All Gender user for single user restrooms in California. I don't know how the restaurant could so clearly be in violation of that law? All they have to do is change the signs. Also, why doesn't the restaurant respond to me on this: why is a key required for the women's but not the men's restroom? The owner is deflecting from the real issues. I would suggest of course that the owner take care of the coach roaches but also use some common sense, change the sign on the men's restroom to All Gender and close the women's until the infestation is under control. Why would I lie about anything, the establishment is violating the law. UPDATE 9/9/2025 The owner is complaining about my review and trying to get it taken down. I don't know why the coachroches are not being taken care of, are the owners worried about getting an exterminator to their property and word getting out they have a problem?

    Photos attached show unsanitary food handling practices.

    Ordered a pickup through Grubhub. While waiting in my car, I noticed the restaurant was empty with only three employees inside--two wearing yellow shirts and one wearing a red shirt. The employee in the red shirt appeared to be preparing food and did not change his gloves after cleaning and touching other surfaces. Watching this was honestly disgusting, which is when I began taking photos. This is a serious food safety concern. Because of what I observed, I did not pick up my food. Management needs to do much better. Please be careful eating here.

    Chicken and Beef Luleh plate
    Luis C.

    Whenever I'm craving Mediterranean food, Zankou is my go to spot. The food here is off the chart, full of flavor, and simply delicious. Today I ordered the chicken and luleh combo, the chicken & beef luleh were grilled and seasoned to perfection, just mouth watering, and very enjoyable. The rice, salad, humus, and grilled tomatoes just showcases the resturant's commitment to high quality and authenticity. Great food, service, and the best Mediterranean food around. Like I said, it's my go to spot!

    Ask the Community - Zankou Chicken

    Is this location under new ownership? Went here recently and everything was off.

    This isn't the same Zankou most of us know. It's not listed on the Zankou website. Bootleg location. FYI

    Is this place now completely independent of the other two factions? It's not listed under either one of the Zankou websites. Thanks

Coming across this location at the Blossom food market, I had to give this place a try. The staff was friendly and there were many choices on the menu.

You would think the food would be piping hot since it's made fresh and required such a long wait...but no... Everything was lukewarm and the bread was cold. The salad consisted of lettuce and some marinated tomatoes that tasted sour. The hummus was very bland and the bread was thin, but soft. The Luhle (ground beef) was savory, but wasn't very juicy at all. The RICE, however, was very delicious. It was well seasoned and you can taste the different spices used to flavor it. Very earthy notes. Overall, very underwhelming experience. Mediocre and not worth the price or wait. Would probably not go back again. It's located inside Blossom Market Hall, so you order and seat yourself. Food will be ready when the buzzer they give you rings. Free street and lot parking available.

My go-to meal is one of their combo plates, whether it's the chicken thigh plate, chicken thigh and lule kebab combo, or the filet mignon and chicken thigh combo. The meats are always tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Each combo comes with soft, fresh pita bread and some of the best hummus I've had creamy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The plate is rounded out with fluffy rice and a crisp Greek salad, making it a satisfying and well-balanced meal. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you receive. They also recently added bowls and wraps to the menu, which are great options if you're looking for something different. The customer service is outstanding. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and Emil consistently provides excellent service by taking orders and bringing food directly to the table. Whether you choose to dine in or grab takeout, the experience is always pleasant. Another bonus is the convenient location with plenty of parking. It's located next to a mini mart and a gym, making it easy to stop by for lunch or dinner. I've tried many Mediterranean restaurants in the area, and this one is by far my favorite. Fresh ingredients, flavorful food, generous portions, friendly service, and reasonable prices keep me coming back. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out!
