“We come here every week and today was the slowest service to even say hello which nobody told us when we came in. We stand there for five minutes and nobody even acknowledge us but the rest of it. It’s everything Dylan is going table to table. Make sure they were OK so that was very nice. Dining room is way too cold.“

“We were so lucky to have found this place! The food is absolutely incredible here, super juicy chicken and perfectly cooked salmon, the rice and veggies are absolutely delicious! It’s an amazing spot with food for an amazing price. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed !“

“If you order on Uber Eats, the price is exceptional for the quality and quantity of food you get. All the beef choices are top notch as well as the rice and fresh baked fluffy pita bread. The only not as good items are the chicken being a bit bland and the hummus (but that is a problem for most places in LA). Overall great restaurant with tasty food.“

“We just had dinner here for the first time, and the food was absolutely amazing! We were warmly greeted by Vanessa, who was incredibly kind and welcoming.

We ordered the Branzino and the Chicken Combo Plate, and everything was delicious. We also tried the hummus, strawberry mojito, and baklava—each dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors.

Thank you for the excellent food and outstanding service. Our entire experience was wonderful from start to finish.

May God shower this restaurant with blessings, prosperity, and continued success. We will definitely be back!“

“Pita nachos are awesome! Many different flavors of Hummus!“

“I was car shopping and got hungry, we came into this place by Google maps and let me just say, this place is awesome, we had hummus, potato salad and yogurt and cucumber appetizer, AMAZING, we got two platters one ground beef and steak and One chicken and steak, both steaks were cook to perfection (it's freaking rare to get perfect steaks in any restaurant) chicken was tender and juicy, ground beef was nice and soft, portions are really good, I m a heavy hitter and I ended up full, also Eddie is the man, great customer, ask for him when coming here (unfortunately I forgot to take pictures)“

“The place is beautiful, ample parking space, staffs are friendly and accomodating and close to FWY 2 and 5“

“Amazing food , great ambiance and friendly staff“

“The overall experience was great. The food was tasty and plentiful. The setting of the room and patio as well as table serving is very pleasant. One negative to note were the drinks: my latte was not satisfying - too small (~12oz.), not enough milk (too much foam for a latte) and per my request for extra steamed milk they offered two Coffeemate creamer pods - all while it set me back $10.40+tax; a 0.5 litter (16.9oz.) bottle of Pellegrino was $4.16+tax.“

“You can taste the care and attention directly in the food and it's really neat to see how so many traditional dishes have been adapted to be gluten free. Well worth multiple visits. What did bother me and I feel could be improved is the music. Although appreciative for the vibe of the restaurant, nearly everything sounded to be AI generated. I wish they played traditional Lebanese musicians.“

“They make the most delicious luleh kabob in Glendale. It tastes exactly like the luleh kabob I had in Iran. Very original. Love their rice and fresh baked flat bread. Amazing gem. Friendly staff ads to the charm of this place. Glad I found them.“

“Just good quality food . fresh & tasty“

“Bacari Glendale: It is a beautiful place we have always wanted to go to. We took two friends for a belated birthday dinner (and as the staff realized it was just that, they even rewarded us with a delicious birthday dessert :-). Great service, nice ambiance, and delicious food - we had the bread (could have been a bit more for the $4,50), then shared the Mac & Cheese topped up with the pear and brie pizza that was the best.“

“Forget about the rest. Try the best“

“The food was great!! and good company.“

This is my Favorite Mediterranean Food Restaurant in Glendale thus far. I am very please with the Food & their Staff. 😍 I score them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Kabab Way in Glendale is absolutely incredible! Their kababs are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection — truly some of the best I’ve had. The chicken is juicy and delicious, the grilled tomatoes are perfectly charred, and the rice is fluffy and full of aroma. Everything is consistently fresh and tasty. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving authentic and delicious kabab. A must-try!“

“Great Lebanese taco joint. Vegetarian options. Generous portions. Very satisfying.“

“I've been coming to the spot for probably over 10 years and the experience overall has been solid. The owners are always really polite, the food is put together ridiculously fast, and the flavors are pretty familiar and flavorful as you would expect from Mediterranean food. I will say, that perhaps there's a little bit of shrinkflation because most restaurants, the portions just seem a little smaller. I think for this cafe, everything is pretty much the same with high quality hummus, tasty rice, fresh salad, but I think the meat portions are a little smaller than I remember a year ago. Also, this round, my lamb skewers were a bit overcooked and on the dry side. But, perhaps this is just an anomaly for this visit. I'm going to try again probably this month!“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“Tacos and Kabobs has become one of my favorite places for carryout. The staff is always genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.

One thing I really appreciate is how hard they try to accommodate any changes or dietary requests you may have. They listen, they care, and they do their best to make sure your order is exactly the way you want it.

I usually get my food to go, but they also have a clean, well-lit dining room with TVs if you want to sit down and enjoy your meal there. Good food, good people, and the kind of neighborhood place you’re happy to support.

Highly recommend Tacos and Kabobs. Give them a try. I think you’ll be glad you did!“

“I wanted to thank George, the owner, for always being super friendly and attentive every time I come in. The food is amazing, healthy, and always fresh. I eat here probably twice a week, and my go-to is the beef and chicken combo! It’s high in protein and great tasting. Definitely one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend!“

“nice place to dine with family, owner is extremely nice and the food is excellent taste and quality highly recommend“

“Great service and delicious food. The bass was so fresh tasting. Would definitely come again!!“

“👍👍👍nice place and friendly people“

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

“Fantastic! I randomly found this place while craving Lebanese food. While it’s not exactly that, I was intrigued by their “where Mexican meets Mediterranean” concept and stopped in. They told me their Mediterranean side is inspired by Lebanese and Syrian cuisine, and I was sold.

I got the chicken shawarma plate. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the rice was great, and I went with the baba ghanoush after they recommended it. It was so good. If you’ve never loved baba ghanoush because the eggplant is overpowering, their version is perfect for you since all the flavors are balanced nicely. The Mexican influence complements it beautifully.

The young woman who took my order told me her mother is the chef, and she made my meal. I’m officially one of her biggest fans and can’t wait to come back and try more. Delicious!

Please support this small, actuallyyy family-owned business. I’d be genuinely devastated if they ever closed. It may not have been the traditional Lebanese meal I originally came for, but bringing Mexican flavors into the mix is a brilliant idea and I’m for it. Yum!“

“The family and I decided to stop by and grab Mediterranean food and my husband brought me by his spot he has been going to for 1 yeah or+ years. Upon entering you get greeted by the sweetest owner and staff. The menu is quite extensive and has variety of things from kabob plates to wraps; then burgers and vegetarian options. I ended up getting the lamb and beef kabob plate with hummus and rice. I also got a side of falafel and some fries to share with the family. The hubby got the beef kabob plate and we shared with the girls. Portions were quite filling and more then enough for our family , hummus was so good. Everything is fresh and house made to the sauces that come with it. The garlic being some of my favorite. This family owned place serves really good food and made sure the family was fed and happy. Definitely recommend and absolutely coming back.“

“We got DineLA - honestly nothing that was the food really stood out to me - aside from the chicken but it was ruined by the pita. It's very thick and dry. I don't think this mediterranean is worth the price compared to all the others around town.

BUT what you must try is their date shake!!“

“food is very nice. so good“
