“Amazing food. Great family run business. It’s just like eating a home cooked meal every time. The family is one of the nicest you will meet. Been coming here for a lot of years and the food is consistently great. Also, they do catering for any sized parties.“

“It’s the most place to hangout and enjoy caravans meal. Great food and excellent service Caravan restaurant is the best and awesome place“

“What you don't know is the menu can be a bit redundant. Besides the sandwiches, everything is a variation of itself. I fount the Boureg to be some of the best I've ever had. This is definitely a lunch spot, the bites are pretty small. I like this casual, large glass windowed eatery.“

“I learned about this spot online and felt compelled to visit, traveling from Washington just to experience it. I am pleased I did; I could not get enough and returned for lunch every day during my stay in Glendale. I have never encountered such carefully chosen or fresh recipes as those here.“

“We stopped by this little Greek restaurant before we went to the Greek theater. The kabobs were definitely prepared by a chef that knows what he is doing. You can tell it was authentic right when you walk in.
Spicy hummus was SPICY. Kabobs were very tender. I wish I lived closer!“

“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)“

“Amazing food , great ambiance and friendly staff“

“Forget about the rest. Try the best“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“Kabob Village never disappoints! The kabobs were incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The staff was extra friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Excellent food, outstanding service, and a great overall experience. I highly recommend Kabob Village in Glendale and will definitely be coming back!“

“The food here is excellent, one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in LA county, but they are closed for events half the time. Which would be fine if they answered the phone, but they have never answered the phone even when they are open. So it's a guessing game.“

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality that instantly makes you feel at home. The food is nothing short of incredible—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

“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!“

“Delicious and beautiful food!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Shawarma I had in America it's hands down! 💯“

“What a great find!!! I needed to meet a group of friends and Salt and Olive turned out to be the perfect spot; there was something for everyone! One of the folks in the group is a vegetarian and he was certainly happy, and those who are carnivores were equally happy! The ambiance of the place is very nice -- there is a front covered patio for those who want "al fresco" dining, and there is a nice indoor space, too, with a full bar... Speaking of which, one of my friends ordered a cocktail and he said the drink was "perfect." I think my order was the simplest.... It was lunch time and I did not want to eat too heavy so I ordered the barley soup which was magnificently delicious! Very savory with a sprinkle of dill. Lots of vegetables and beans and barley and shredded chicken... I was happy... The main ingredient in each dish was obvious to me -- everything is made exquisitely with lots of love and passion. Sea and Salt is mediterranean food and it was exceedingly fresh and tasty. The staff was very attentive and friendly and they tried to ensure that each one of us was happy... Good find and I will be back with my family and with friends whenever I need a restaurant in the Glendale area...“

“I love this place! They have awesome meals, they have a rich menu, The chief cook in that restaurant is a real authority in the kitchen, I love a lot tasting all their food. The dishes are consistently good, the attitude towards the customers is efficient. I often go to this restaurant and I not even once was unsatisfied. I recommend it to all.“

“👍👍👍nice place and friendly people“

“I went there yesterday for the first time. I got the lamb shawarma plate, and it was wonderful. I will be returning. It may seem a little pricey, but the quality of the food and the generous portions is well worth it.“

“Came here for the first time with my friend and everything was really cool👌 . We tried the shawarma, the order was ready so fast, and the girl at the cashier is very cute and friendly, we really liked the vibe and music. Definitely worth trying“

“According to my Swedish son-in-law it is very authentic and it was very delicious we ordered several different items a calzone a few pizzas And it was all delicious.“

“We've come here several times whilst visiting family in the area. The staff are always excellent and the food is great! We love the atmosphere- you know it's a good place when it's always busy.“

“The first time I ate shawarma here, I stopped going to other places. This is the best shawarma in all of Los Angeles, no strings attached. I drive here every time I go from Koreatown, just because, or when I need to go to Glendale on business, I always stop here. The man working the register and making the shawarma is very nice. I've never had a single negative experience with this place.“
