“Thank you to the Raffis staff for their professional work, friendly approach, and delicious food. A funny story happened today. My friend and I had lunch, had a good time, and forgot the envelope with money on the table. A few hours later, we remembered that we had forgotten the money on the table. We went back and they returned our money to us.Thank you very much:Rafuel,Martin,Luis❤️you are professional👍“

“Amazing and well seasoned food. Comes out piping hot. It’s a small-to-medium sized restaurant with fast turnover. We had the luleh kobab and lamb kobab, which were both delicious. The bread is fresh and homemade.

The servers work extremely hard, but because of volume are not extremely attentive to any one table. They will take your order fast, but you have to have patience to get the bill.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best service and the food always amazing! Tastes like its homemade and with so much love! Such nice people with the family vibes is my favorite part! Thank you for always providing at my events! Always my go to spot!“

“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!“

“After waiting a long time while they did renovations they are open again and the food and service are excellent! I love what they did to the place.

The filet mignon was grilled perfectly and was so tender I was able to do cuts using a butter knife. The beet hummus was unique and flavorful. The eggplant was not overpowering and was also a nice dip for the filet. The complimentary bread is handmade and I could eat 10 of them. Highly recommended restaurant. I'm gonna come back lots. :)“

“Olive Branch Restaurant is an absolute gem!

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. Every bite tastes authentic and perfectly balanced, from the tender meats to the vibrant, seasoned sides and freshly baked bread.

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!“

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

“Food? Amazing!! From the seasoning to the simple, yet delicious rice, any plate here is recommended. I'd love to go back and try each and every plate they have.

Vegetarian options: Meat heavy menu

Kid-friendliness: We were alone for a while and my children were loud. No problem at all.“

“Very tasty cuisine. Highly recommend.“

“Classic Persian Food.

The OG of Mediterranean restaurants in Glendale.

Consistent Quality, Fair Pricing. Huge parking lot in the back across the alley.

I order #4 package to go for 4 people!“

“We’ve lived in Glendale for many years where kabobs are a dime a dozen, however Hamlet’s kitchen has some of the best Lula around. The plates come with rice, lavash, a pepper, onions and sometimes tomato and the portions are enough to share between two people. They only accept cash and the prices are a little steep, but the food is always excellent. Some note the staff to be rude, but I’m guessing that’s the language barrier vs them purposely being rude, our experiences and interactions have been pleasant.“

“I visited this restaurant on Sunday! The cashier with black hair helped me decide on my order a very polite and handsome guy !,)
I ordered the shawarma bowl and came back again in the evening. Everything was very delicious. Special thanks for such great service!😍“
