Met my cousins for lunch here to try the zhengyalov hatz. Cute little restaurant with indoor and some outdoor seating. You place your order at the counter then they ring you and you go pick up. The food we ordered was delicious. The adjarakan khachapuri was our favorite. Perfectly made. The dough wa delicious so was the cheese. The zhengyalov hats was really good too. Compared to other places I would say this was my favorite. The lamajoun was crispy and flavorful. I liked it very much. The okroshka drink was cold and good. Perfect for this hot day. And went well with our food. Overall the food was great. Now customer service. Very unwelcoming and rude service. Very unpleasant people working here. .....

Baklava

So good! Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area. I've never tried baklava like this, it's amazing! Portion size is generous, and the staff is friendly.

I bought a pepperoni pizza and some herb bread at North Hollywood location today. Not only was the herb bread dry--it had likely just been reheated--but the pizza was burnt. It is shameful that you make money this way. Definitely do NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone

I really enjoy the authenticity of this place, and they've recently opened their second location in North Hollywood. I've come here a few times for their Zhengyalov hats, but once I found out they also make lahmajun, I had to try it. Let me tell you, it is some of my absolute favorite lahmajun. The dough is done perfectly with just the right thinness, the meat is delicious and seasoned so well, and everything about it is exactly to my liking. I definitely recommend it, but be warned, they are massive, so there's no need to over order.

Cute patio seating outside.

Love love love this place! It is the only place I know that serves its namesake and I am such a big fan. If you've never tried this and are an adventurous eater, I highly recommend it! It's essentially a wrap/crepe with a dozen different herbs and greens chopped up inside. I love herbs so this is right up my alley. I can see how some would say the herbs are slightly bitter or grassy, but honestly, it's an acquired taste. Especially when warm, this can really brighten my day. The staff is always working hard and seem very nice. The interior is well decorated and they proudly display their Michelin recognition. If you're ever in the little Armenia area of Glendale, you should definitely check this place out!

Cheese pull shot!

Perfect little stop for a light Armenian lunch. Their signature Zhengyalov Hatz are light and satisfying, and we also got the dill yogurt drink, an apricot compote (pretty sweet but fine if you sip it slowly/balance with water), and one very hot, eggy and cheesy kachapuri. Perfect to share with friends and sit outside listening to upbeat Armenian music!

Tried this place earlier today and its pretty decent. Perfect for a simple lunch or grab & go meal. The menu is literally like 5-6 food items. We ordered the zhengyalov hatz~basically a flatbread with veggies/herbs. It was the best dish~I mean, its their namesake....came out super fast and I feel like everyone ordered this. Perfect for those non-meat eaters. We also ordered the lahmajoun, aka Armenian "pizza" that my friend whos half Armenian claims is the "best hes had". I can't tell the difference since I have nothing to compare to. But I do know the crust was super thin and crispy in the right places. Didn't pack a ton of flavor, but it was good. Price point was amazingly cheap...The pork shawarma I didn't care for. Took one bite only. It was a tad too sweet for my liking. I also ordered this cucumber & dill yogurt drink and its pretty legit. Not going to float everyone's boat but if you like odd drinks that are slightly savory....this is for you. Reminds me of the yogurt drinks I had in Croatia.

I've been searching for zhengyalov hatz ever since I tried them in Las Vegas. We finally were in the area and decided to drop by this spot in Glendale specializing in it. The spot is super cute and the service friendly. It's a fast casual where you order at the counter, and find a seat. We got the "veggie wraps" pretty quickly and enjoyed them thoroughly.

The menu is simple. Then name of the place is what you're here for. We ordered, we shared, we enjoyed our experience. Ordering takes place at the counter. They will yell your name and you pick up when it's ready. It's a small cozy spot. Off peak times are best to really enjoy the atmosphere.

The Zhengyalov Hatz menu
Eric D.

The Art of the Singular Obsession: Why Zhengyalov Hatz is Glendale's Most Focused Masterpiece ------- There's a specific kind of anxiety that comes with opening a menu that reads like a telephone book. When a kitchen tries to make pizza, sushi, and a passable club sandwich all at once, they usually fail at all three. Give me a specialist. Give me someone who wakes up every morning, stares at a single dish, and spends their entire life chasing perfection. Tucked away at 318 E Broadway in Glendale, Zhengyalov Hatz is exactly that kind of sanctuary. They don't have a menu so much as a mission statement. They make one thing. One single, spectacular, fiercely guarded Armenian culinary tradition. And they do it so perfectly that the Michelin Guide had no choice but to take notice. // The Vibe and the Craft // You walk in, and the air hits you immediately--the unmistakable, primal scent of hot griddles and a massive volume of fresh herbs. The clean-lined, minimalist space is centered entirely around a simple walk-up counter, but don't let the efficiency fool you; the greeting you receive the second you step up is instantly warm and genuine. There are no secrets here. You watch as seasoned hands work the dough, rolling out delicate, paper-thin sheets, burying them under an impossibly large mountain of finely chopped greenery, and folding them into tight parcels on the hot griddles. It's a beautiful, well-oiled operation where a steady stream of locals are constantly in and out, clutching take-out boxes filled with their greenly miracles. // The Main Event: The Namesake // The dish is the Zhengyalov Hatz, and when it arrives hot off the griddle, blistered, slightly charred in places, and absolutely steaming, it is a revelation. You bite through that crisp, yielding dough into a dense, vibrant green lining of over a dozen different varietals--spinach, scallions, sorrel, beet leaves, and herbs you probably couldn't name if you tried. It shouldn't be this complex, but it is. It hits every corner of the palate: it's sharp, it's sour, it's earthy, and deeply, viscerally satisfying. Even if you're a devout carnivore, this plant-forward flatbread demands your absolute respect. It's a complete meal wrapped in a charred, unleavened embrace. In fact, the last time I walked through those doors, I had to buy two orders just for myself. It really is that good. (Pro tip: have them slide a pat of butter in there to melt down into the hot greens. Don't overthink it, just do it.) // The Supporting Cast // Because they only make one main dish, deciding what to order takes about three seconds. To wash it down, you get the Okroshka--a cold, tangy yogurt drink punched up with dill and cucumber. It serves as the perfect, refreshing counter-hook to the warm, earthy flatbread. To finish, grab a square of their Paxlava (baklava). It's built with flaky phyllo and ground nuts, offering just a light crust and a sweetness that doesn't overpower the palate. // The Verdict // In a culinary landscape obsessed with "more"--more options, more fusion, more noise--Zhengyalov Hatz is a masterclass in "less." They have bet their entire existence on the power of a single, flawless creation, and they absolutely nail it. It's authentic, it's unpretentious, and it is a mandatory stop. Go early before they sell out, eat it hot, and remember what it tastes like when people actually give a damn about their heritage.

Zhengyalov Hatz is a charming little Armenian bakery tucked away in Glendale that's all about one specialty--and they do it so well. The menu is small and focused, with their star item being (you guessed it) the zhengyalov hatz--a traditional flatbread stuffed with a mix of finely chopped greens, herbs, and veggies. I'll admit, I was a little hesitant at first since I wasn't sure I'd like all the greens inside, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The flavors were balanced, fresh, and super satisfying. I could've easily eaten another one! It's the kind of simple, comforting food that hits just right. The bakery itself is cute and cozy, with subtle Armenian touches that make the space feel warm and authentic. I found street parking pretty easily on the weekend, though it might be trickier during the week. Service was fast and friendly, and while the prices are about what you'd expect for a quality bite in the LA area, the experience and taste make it worth it. If you're curious to try something new--or already love Armenian food--this little spot is definitely worth a visit!

Ryna D.

You would think that a wrap filled solely with green and bitter herbs won't be appetizing, but then, you would be mistaken. If you're in Glendale, stop in and make sure you order the namesake dish. It's a traditional Armenian dish that is a staple during times of scarcity. It is very unique and I haven't had anything like it. It's also really delicious! And cheap! We also ordered a shawarma and a lahmaçun and this lahmaçun was the best one I've had outside of Turkey! Seriously, don't sleep on this place.

I came to try their famous zhengyalov hatz. It's all made fresh when you order. The flat bread was buttery and soft. The herbs inside all complimented each other and were so fresh. I felt so healthy eating this. The place is so cute and clean. Workers were friendly. I would come back again.

Is it good to go or must eat it fresh right there?

Eating it fresh right there would be ideal. It will be totally a different experience eating it on the go.

I'm allergic to strawberries and my question is: does the lemonade contain strawberries or is it original lemon?

Does this contain cilantro?

Call them!

Do you have a gluten-free version? I'd love to try this but need a GF option.

No, they specialize in one to two items and do things the traditional way.

Can someone describe the taste? I feel I'd like it but was hoping to hear from you guys.

Herby, zesty, tangy. It's like delicious herbs on warm bread. Same satisfaction as eating a pizza (nothing like a pizza but I get that same kind of happiness). Honestly, I've never met anyone who doesn't like this–it's healthy, fresh-baked, and SO…

But it is without question the most important Armenian restaurant in the world. Armenians are simultaneously a diaspora people, a people of the book, and an old country people. Therefore, odd as it may seem, it is entirely appropriate that the most important Armenian restaurant in the world should not be located in Armenia at all, but should serve a diaspora community in a way that makes them feel connected to home, both interns of cuisine and in terms of communal warmth. Technically, this is more of a Lebanese restaurant than an Armenian restaurant, but that hardly matters. It's a place of celebration, merriment, laughter, and tears. In short, it is THE gathering place for Armenians in Southern California. Because of its fame and importance, the thing that is consistently overlooked about this restaurant is just how excellent the food is. Bring a Lebanese expat here and you will invariably hear them say after the first bite of hummus that it doesn't compare to the hummus they used to enjoy in Beirut. By the middle of the bowl, they will say that it actually is not as bad as they first thought. By the end of the bowl they will declare that this hummus ranks among the greatest they have ever tasted. Carousel does not overwhelm you. It seduces you. And you'll be back.

Here's how I think the ones I've had stack up.... 1. Mini Kabob. Non traditional dressing but the flavor is well balanced with fresh ingredients and tender chicken thigh meat on a very good tortilla. Slightly pricier than the others but worth it. 2. Ggiata. The best of the more traditional grilled chicken wraps with crunchy croutons inside and an outstanding tortilla. Their traditional Caesar dressing on the side is very good. The Venice location tastes better than the one in Highland Park. 3. Highly Likely (Highland Park). Very good wrap but without any croutons or crunchy elements. Solid tortilla but the dressing on the side isn't as flavorful as the top two. 4. Sweetgreen (Pasadena). Best of the chain restaurants. Good but can be a bit too salty. Their Chicken Cali Club wrap is actually better balanced flavor-wise. The wrap here is smaller but still good. All the above wraps were satisfying and filling with the one from Sweetgreen being the smallest.

While there's some seating in front of the shop, this place seems best suited for to-go orders. You can also order online, and when I tried online ordering recently I found the pickup time to be accurate. You can order a variety of kabob plates, and they also offer a falafel plate along with various sides. What brought me back more recently was their chicken Cesar wrap after reading the positive reviews. I liked the wrap though I wished it had more chicken to balance the romaine lettuce and croutons. It comes with a spicy garlic sauce on the side, but I preferred the standard garlic sauce that was also included with my order. I've consistently found one of the co-owners (who is usually at the front preparing food and interacting with customers) to be a kind presence whenever I'm picking up food, and I'm sure there will not be as long of a gap between orders in the future.

When we first walked into the restaurant we thought we were the only patrons, then we found out the host just likes to seat people in the private booths which are separated from the main dining room by straw dividers. I read on the other reviews that they thought the server was not very nice, however my experience was the opposite - she provided helpful input when we asked for advices on the cuisine, and even recommended us to try the khinkali with sour cream which she provided and didn't have to. On to the food - we ordered the eggplant appetizer, it's similar to baba ghanouj but this one is a bit spicier and so yummy with the bread that came with it. We also ordered khinkali which is Georgian's version dumplings (we ordered the boiled version but there's also fried ones available). The skin is on the thicker side and was very chewy, the filling was well spiced with herbs, when you cut into it the juices come flowing out, yum! Our fav dish was the chimeruli which is baked hen drenched in a garlicky cream sauce that was more of a soup to me and i could not stop drinking it down! The hen was roasted so nicely with crispy skin, and along with the sauce just made the whole dish so hearty. Things are on the pricier side but I would still definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who's adventurous in trying different cuisines. It was interesting to note that they had two menus, one for Georgian foods, and the other for Armenian foods. Btw the restaurant charges a "non cash fee" for all non cash payments.
