Zankou Chicken - Tarna & Shawerma Combo Plate Hummus, Tahini, Rice, Harissa Hot Sauce, Garlic Sauce Salad Roasted Chicken, Lemon Tahini, $18+ $13 - Mediterranean Near Me - Tarzana, California

1 star. Called in an order at 5:36pm, got a text at 5:39pm saying it was ready -- it wasn't. Michael S told me on the phone he remembered my order, then made eye contact with me multiple times while I waited and did nothing. He and another employee were clearly whispering and glancing over at me instead of fixing it. By 6:15pm they were calling order #155 -- mine was #145, ten orders behind. Maria then helped me with blatant attitude, grabbed my order from a separate area than everyone else's food, and tried to charge me extra for garlic sauce after all that. Felt targeted, not like a mistake. Won't be back. read more

Zankou chicken is a solid option for a (used to be quick) decent amount of wait time option. My friend was starving after we took the boys to Brian's shaved ice (a few stores down) and decided for all of us to grab some lunch since we were there. I usually order from the one on Sepulveda and I hardly ever go in, so it was an experience actually going in and ordering. This location is a decent size with plenty of tables to enjoy your meal in the establishment. They also have a patio area outside where we decided to eat since it was a nice sunny day (hence the shaved ice). My kids ordered the kids meal chicken tarna wrap with French fries and I went with the new protein bowl with chicken tarna. The kids wraps were very dry and plain with a tiny bit of sauce and tomatoes in the inside. I think that is done on purpose because kids don't like any toppings on their food. It was super basic though. My food was descent but there are other options for protein bowls elsewhere. The only thing keeping this place alive for me and where I think the 3 Afros are deserved is their signature garlic sauce! There is nothing like it and I want pounds of it to put it on everything. They can bottle it up and sell it right out the store.. this sauce is what keeps my whole family talking and coming back to Zankou when we do go. Give that garlic sauce a try! OOO 3 out of 5 Afros read more

Everything was super yummy and our to go orders came out in under 10 minutes! Definitely will be coming back to this location.

I like the peace in eating here when I dine in, though I do wish the ambiance was more better. The tables aren't all clean when we drop by but usually there is one we can seat at. I never see the staff wipe down any tables when we come by. Ordering is usually with a wait due to one cashier most of the times. This spot seems heavy for takeout orders. We love the way the chicken is cooked here and usually it's been consistent with the chicken being juicy and tender. Definitely our go-to meals haven't changed. Whenever we crave the garlic sauce, we come to this branch. I just wish the bathrooms were taken care of better.. more often than not, there's a terribly strong smell and no paper towels to use after. Looks like they also renovated the area a bit with the addition of walls. I am definitely all for more renovating at this spot!! read more

Zankou Chicken - Tri-tip shawarma instead of chicken shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Tarzana, California

We've been a customer of Zankou for at least ten years. This is the first time we've had a problem. Ordered salad with chicken and a side of falafel delivered. The falafel was great, but the salad was sub-par. We usually order the dinner plates but switched. Bad choice with the salad. read more

Ordered lunch here in a pinch- I was craving hummus and ended up getting a Tarna & Shawerma combo plate with a side of cucumber salad, tzatziki and hummus. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. I had so much left over I was able to get two meals out of one plate (excellent value!) Will definitely be ordering from here again- can't believe I hadn't before. read more

Forgot my pita and tahini sauce for falafels (barely went down its so dry) . Would not have come here to mention shrinkgate by itself but portions are like half of what they were this time last year --disappointed read more

I ordered through postmates! The cucumber salad and hummus was great! They were the two items I enjoyed! Chicken had a descent flavor and beef was dry and bland! Rice was fresh bbq wings were burned badly and tasted burned throughout! Price was reasonable for the large portion size. I can't recommend this particular locations food was not up to par. I have had better experiences with taste and quality at other locations. read more

Love this place it's a little pricey but everyone's always so nice and the food is excellent my favorite is the cucumber tomato salad they call it something else but it's not that hard to make I went to the Middle Eastern grocery store and asked a lady how do you make cucumber tomato salad and she showed me how to make it and now I can make the exact recipe but this cucumber salad they have it has just cucumber tomatoes but man it is so delicious like I go there and just get little buckets of that But the chicken are outstanding it's always clean it's really Quick getting food I don't have anything bad to see about this place but you gotta try it ASAP read more

I ordered two whole chickens and the quality has gone down the drain this place was my favorite for years I hadn't came here in a while and now I don't think I'll be back again. The chicken was dry and didn't have any flavor and when I opened the containers I was worried that it had gone bad prior to cooking. I had to throw the other chicken away because I was just scared about the safety of it. The garlic sauce is still amazing and the hummus is ok and the salad was good. I'm so sad I love Zankou chicken but I I'm traumatized by the smell of the chicken and how incredibly dry it was maybe they don't prep them correctly, so sad. read more

Customer service was very rude. The food portion was really small. He didn't understand anything we were asking. My kebab is extremely dry and burnt. I use to come here all the time and it was good now it's horrible I don't know what happened but they need to change something the cucumber salad taste very oily does not have any lemon or what it used to have the cucumbers were also bad read more

Every time I come here, the sides I get (tabouli, cabbage) are always WAY too salty. And the chicken tarna I was served last time was nothing but hard pieces that I couldn't eat. Hard like plastic chips. I can't keep coming here and spend money on inedible food. read more

Thank you Michael S and Yaleen the manager thank you read more

I bought 2 chickens today around 1 pm. I kept half of one chicken for myself. The chicken was extremely dry. This is one of my favorite restaurants because of the chicken and the chicken tarna. I was extremely disappointed with the chicken. The young lady that help me was extremely helpful and another server forgot the small garlic sauce and when I asked the young lady who helped me she said she forgot and corrected it right away. The 2 stars is for the young lady's service. I don't know what happened to the quality of the chicken. read more

I can't believe how rude the staff is. I literally said thank you when ordering and nothing. Then when i got my food, the guy handed me the bag and NO thank you? It's just so off putting and gross when people act like this. The food is fine. But one of the sauces was supposed to be tahini. It's definitely not. This whole experience just ruins what could have been a decent meal especially when times are tough. Side note, it's the afternoon, and I was being so nice. I just don't get it. Rude jerks for no reason. read more

Ehh. I used to love Zankou. It was a treat with the garlic sauce, pita, falafel, and shawarma. Yet, the past few times I've been here, it is not very good. Like to the point where we just didn't want to eat it. The ingredient quality has gone down and it seems like there isn't attention to preparing the food for taste or appeal for customers. Staff are helpful so I gave it a two star, but I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

Went in last week for some lunch with my family and received excellent customer service from Julia! Very sweet kind and recommended food for us to try. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks again to Julia read more

I've had Zankou chicken before, Pasadena location, and it was always on point, today I was craving the chicken because I'm pregnant! I called and they put me on hold for a while so I placed my order online after getting tired of waiting on the phone. I requested my chicken to be cut in 6 pieces, and thy didn't do it! Then I asked for 4 of the garlic sauces because that was my main craving, and of course any of them was in the bag!! The store was not busy at all and the receipt was pretty clear! I manage a big volume restaurant myself and I know how important is for my costumer to have the signature saves that we offer! I'm really disappointed, now I have my boyfriend driving around trying to get something similar because the store is too far to go back! You should be more careful while packing the orders and make sure u guys are reading the instructions correctly! read more

We've been buying from this place for the last 25 years. We ordered food for delivery last night. The chicken was so dry , the falafel was so over fried. It was dark brown looked like a handball. I would think twice before I would decide ordering from this place again. Not a good experience. read more

The worst service ever. We have been taking food to go many times over the past 4 years and every time they don't put the whole order and forget something. Today I went after long brake and ask them for not salad so they gave me the plate and I can see that there is no salad from the see true cover. When I got home there was little bit of meat and all salad under. $18 plate is a waste!!! read more

Zankou Chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Tarzana, California

I recently visited Zankou Chicken and the food itself was really good. The chicken was flavorful, fresh, and the garlic sauce was definitely the best part. The workers were polite enough, and overall the quality of the food was solid. What really brought the experience down was how slow the food service was. There was literally no one else in the restaurant, so it was confusing why it still took so long to get a simple order out. If the place had been packed, it would've made sense, but with an empty dining area the wait felt unnecessary and frustrating. The food saved the review, but the service speed definitely needs improvement. read more

I gave this location three stars food is great. Customer service is great. The only problem I have is that it's so hot in there it's intolerable I expect the owners to reach out to me because this is awful for the customers and I'm sure for the employees if I don't hear anything, I'm gonna have to report it to the Health Dept.. This is not right for the clients or the employees. read more

To the lady who served me yesterday, Nov 4th, around 3:30pm... THANK YOU. With SNAP suspended, you have no idea what you did meant to me. I had late lunch here after doing some errands. I had leftovers so I decided to take it home for dinner. I ordered extra basmati rice with my first order, so I thought, why not order another piece of quarter dark chicken for lunch the next day (today). Just 1 piece, not the combo meal. When I got home, I placed my to-go in the fridge and noticed that my second order was heavy. When I opened the box, I have 2 extra chicken legs in there! Now, I don't have to worry about my next 3 meals. :) So, thank you! May God bless you in abundance. (I hope this doesn't get you in trouble though.) read more

What can I say about Zankou Chicken other than it never disappoints? I grew up eating it...it was my family's version of "fast food," and it still brings that same comfort and nostalgia. The Tarzana location is the closest to home, and the service here is always friendly and quick. We sat outside on a lovely day and enjoyed the nice weather. I ordered the falafel plate (always ask for it extra crispy...it's the best that way....and I hate a soggy soft falafel), while my husband went for a couple of chicken tarna wraps. I usually remember to take photos for my reviews, but this time we couldn't resist diving right in, and by the time I thought of it, everything was gone! There's plenty of parking in the shopping center, making this spot as convenient as it is delicious. read more

Best chicken hands down and very affordable! Dressings,pickles and hummus are absolutely the best!

I came in last night to get a small late night meal, and the woman at the register Maria was on top of everything. Although it took a while to get our food she was very accommodating and helped us with whatever extra we needed. There was a gentleman there who was a bit rude and in the full dinning area started talking down on her, and telling her what to do. As he was on the other side sweeping while she was going back and forth from register to packing and calling out orders. read more

My review is based on this location ONLY!!! I love zankou chicken.. been a fan for many years. But this location just grossed me out! the whole store needs remodeling and deep cleaning!! Everything is dirty and greasy!! (tables, chairs, kids high chairs are probably the worst I've ever seen anywhere!! ) staff are just careless and just simply No effort at cleanliness at all.. I mean how can we expect an employee to care when owners don't!!!" "Please remodel this location, it's desperately needs it" read more

The food is always delicious, however I don't even know how many times I haven't received the roasted tomato or grilled onions that are supposed to accompany my plate. Even after requesting to be sure those items are included, alas the tomato was missing again! First world problem I know, but just be sure to check your pickup meal before you leave. Of course my son didn't yet again. I don't think I'll be going to that location any more, even if it is right down the street. Very disappointed yet again. read more

Thank you Antonio for your great costumer service. My order was wrong and he went above and beyond to fix my problem.

The other night after a very exhausting day I stopped at the Zankou chicken place near the Corbin Bowl. A young man, Nick greeted me with an incredibly welcoming smile and an eagerness to help make my decisions easier. I had thought he was the manager because he was very competent and even tho I was prepared with a list, his recommendations filled in where I hadn't considered the choices I had made. He offered to walk me to my car because I really did buy a large quantity of food. I highly recommend this restaurant not only for the yummy food but, because it's such a rarity these days to have someone care enough to see I was in need of help and he didnt hesitate to be of service. Thank you Nick. P.S. if they're a smart establishment they should make you the manager. read more

Well I wanted to give it 5 stars. I really really did. But wow was I underwhelmed at this specific location. Ordered 2 kebob plates and the family meal with the whole chicken. First of all let's talk about the service. When I gave them my name I was told another 5 minutes and I was already 3-5 minutes passed my original pick up time. Mind you the restaurant had 2 families already eating and that was it. 10 minutes went by and I asked again if I food was ready. Part was and it was not sitting under the warmers. There were 2 girls in the front. One wearing a yellow shirt very young and had glasses and looked so lost that I swore we were all going to get the wrong orders. Then the other one I'm assuming was a shift manager cause she was older than the rest and was wearing a black polo shirt. She had no personality, didn't crack one smile or even an attempt to apologize for food coming out 15 minutes late! She tied knots on the bag so tightly that I had to pray to the zankou gods that the order was right because I would've had to rip the bags open to check the order. The restaurant itself was dark as if not all the lights were on... and I got there at 8pm. When I got home immediately shocked that this was not the same caliber of food when the only local one was on Sepulveda Blvd in that tiny hidden spot. The "roasted" tomatoes had no roast on them... they felt and looked as if they were boiled and stabbed to give the effect. They were hard and cold in the center. The chicken breast was beyond dry. Definitely not worth the $74 total I paid tonight. Unfortunately I will not return to this location. Only plus was the garlic sauce was delicious and that became my dinner with the lavash bread. So, so sad. read more

This place always has the worst service for the last few months I have been going here for years today I called and was put on hold for over 7 minutes and then they decided to hang up on me and I tried calling back this time no one answered and was put on hold. Also when the restaurant is not busy they still take a long time to get your food ready. And the staff is not pleasant at all. I will not be ordering from here anymore read more
