“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.“

“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!“

“Such a lovely local restaurant! The food tastes fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. The portions are generous, and you can tell a lot of care goes into preparing each dish. The service is warm and friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable and welcome. A great family-owned restaurant that I’m happy to support and recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“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 had a great experience at this place with my family. The food was absolutely amazing, with something for everyone to enjoy. The service was exceptional and friendly, making us feel right at home. The location is great, easily accessible, and the atmosphere was perfect for a family outing. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to eat.“

“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!“

“The lahmajoun from Sasoun was hands down the best meat pizza I’ve had in Los Angeles. I’ve tried it in many places, but nothing compares to this bakery in Glendale. The tahini cookies were also excellent, and I highly recommend this place.“

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.

The portions are generous, the ingredients are top-quality, and everything comes out beautifully presented. You can really tell this is a place that takes pride in its food and service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, which makes the experience even better.

Whether you’re coming for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a relaxed night out, Olive Branch never disappoints. It’s easily one of the best Mediterranean restaurants around and a place I’ll keep coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!“

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

“My party of 3 loved this restaurant. The service was superb and the food was delicious. The portions are hefty and generous. The ambience is casual with wooden tables and wicker chairs, kind of like a coffee shop. But the food is definitely high quality and beautifully presented on large plates. The waitstaff were all super friendly and cheerful and made us feel very welcome. It was such an enjoyable meal and such a positive experience, we do plan to return the next time we are in Glendale.“

“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.“

“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.“

I've never had a single negative experience with this place.“
