I ordered the Kabab loghmeh and Schnitzel mushroom sauce, and everything was excellent. The sandwiches had an authentic Iranian touch with fresh herbs and onions, and the bread was soft and fresh. Perfect portions and full of flavor.

⭐️ World Cafe. Fresh Chicken Sandwiches & Friendly Service

We ordered two sandwiches:
one chicken breast with cheese, and one chicken breast with mushrooms and cheese, plus one order of fries.
Total came to $42.

Everything was very tasty, fresh, and well prepared.
The owner who made the sandwiches was very kind and friendly, which made the experience even better.

The place itself is small and simple, with a small indoor counter and high chairs, and a few outdoor seats next to the laundromat.
The area was clean, calm and pleasant.

Overall a nice local spot with good food and great attitude.
Definitely recommended 👍

Hello

The German sausage sandwich is not satisfying. There’s zero sauce inside. He barely puts maybe half a sausage in there and it’s sliced up. There’s barely any pickle in it or tomato. I mean, you can tell that he’s trying to save money on it, but maybe you’re better off making it at home. I’m not sure if his burgers are better, but that specific sandwich is not it.

Good food, good people, reasonable prices.

World Café is a hidden gem in Glendale! This small, clean, and humble shop is run by an Iranian-Armenian owner with years of experience running a sandwich shop in Isfahan, and you can taste that tradition in every bite.

I ordered the beef tongue, roast beef, and hamburger. The beef tongue and roast beef sandwiches were outstanding — authentic in every way, reminding me of the classic Iranian style with fresh parsley and onions. The bread was soft and fresh, and the portions were just right. These sandwiches transported me straight back to Iran.

The hamburger, while decent, had spices (especially turmeric and salt) that slightly overpowered the flavor compared to the other sandwiches. But given how delicious the roast beef and beef tongue were, I’ll absolutely be back to try more of their specialties.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful sandwiches with a touch of Iranian heritage!

Quaint 💎 gem of a find. The gentlemen there made the place welcoming and the Philly I ordered was better than I had imagined. Soft bread and made to perfection! Definitely a place to stop while in the area.

Got the cheeseburger with fries (not pictured cuz I was hungry), alfredo pasta, and Philly steak sandwich for less than $54. Very large flavorful portions for an affordable price. Will definitely go back again.
