“Amazing food and the staff were so incredibly nice! I keep telling everyone about it. I’m coming BACK.“

“Nice service with a lovely intimate atmosphere. This place has so much potential to be amazing. It’s not traditional Greek food and the flavor disappointed a bit for some dishes however, the lamb and wagyu skewer were INSANELY good but insultingly small.“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try“

“I’ve eaten at a lot of Mediterranean restaurants over the years, including well-known spots like Carousel Restaurant and Raffi's Place, and this place honestly stands out above many of them.

The food was incredible — no gimmicks, no overly trendy presentation, just genuinely well-made Mediterranean food with flavor that speaks for itself. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and authentic.

I ordered the chicken lula plate with a side of beef kofta, while my child got the mantee and the pork chop plate. Every dish was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and satisfying from start to finish.

What impressed me just as much as the food was the staff. During our visit, they had to deal with a very rude family that was aggressively trying to get a free meal. The father was loud and disrespectful to the staff, even raising his voice at times. Despite that uncomfortable situation, the employees remained calm, professional, and incredibly respectful toward everyone else in the restaurant, including us. I've worked in the food industry so I know when someone is trying to get one over for a free meal and this family was a joke.

Great food, professional service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I'm 9 To 10 years old the food taste really good in the atmosphere is super nice. I love the Earth core. It's like it's really like it's like really hot. The earth core is really hot in the is really good. I love the service.“

I ordered the 12 inch lamb and beef gyro shawarma wrap and the fries it up with beef and it was so fresh, clean and delicious. highly recommend! The place was clean and tidy and food was ready promptly after I ordered! I would share a picture of the wrap but I ate it so fast I forgot. So gooood!“

“I tried the chicken gyro here and really enjoyed it. The place is very cozy and, most importantly, spotless clean. The taste was great, but what impressed me the most was the cleanliness and attention to detail. Wishing you the best of luck in growing your business!“

“Amazing service, great food, and tons of options. Lupita’s is truly a gem hidden in plain sight.

We ordered the machaca burrito, a large menudo, and a torta for our baby. They were incredibly accommodating and customized the torta exactly how he wanted it, egg with ham, and he absolutely loved it, which says a lot because he’s a picky eater. The menudo was delicious, and I appreciated that you can order it with or without hominy.

The machaca burrito was so good my husband inhaled it in under 60 seconds. The staff was super attentive and kept the coffee coming, which made the experience even better.

The whole place feels very homey, like being transported straight to Mexico. We’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

“Yummy food. Big portions snd economical Had chicken kabob plate. Comes with pita bread hummus abd cucumber salad abd rice. Couldn’t finish“

“Certainly not the only one, but definitely a wonderful choice to get Mediterranean food for lunch or a quick dinner. The place is located in a a cute little building (missed it on the first drive-by) with a mini garden to sit outside at one of four tables. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, cleanly presented. Hit on the menu - I was told - is the Chipotle Chicke. I went for the lamb gyros and the spinach dip - and loved both: Everything was tasty - and good to come back another time - so four stars :-) Now, thank you for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who travels the world with the worlds greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones or Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked how people use their "power of word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all time favourite​ restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French​ place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers​ boxed to take home? As a dog owner,​ I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "you give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea...​ I hope you agree. So If I had the say on this portal, I would offer just to see ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this simply does not compare to "The Ritz". At first,​ I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceeded my expectation. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again. Again, thank you for reading this.“

“Great food and it’s very cheap, I recommend it to anybody.“
