Zankou Chicken Van Nuys

We all come here for that garlic sauce. I usually order chicken but kabobs here are great too. The restaurant is clean, has bright interior, good service.
The chicken is pretty consistent all the time. It comes with pita bread, turnips and diced tomato and a hummus of course! Sark meat chicken 1/4 was very small for some reason so I stick to white meat only.
The pricing is ok, not the cheapest place but its worthy.
If you haven't tried their garlic sauce - the time has come. Highly recommended 👍

Everything they serve is delicious. I’ve never had any bad food there. It’s beside my gym. It’s healthy and worth it.

I ordered a whole chicken which comes with a two pack of pita. The two pack of pita was covered in mold when I got home with my order. I called and told the manager Maria about this and she said I'm making up a lie. Then she asked me to drive the 30 min back to show her. When I came in I said I don't want a refund I want to make sure people don't get sick I've been coming to for the last ten years. She called me a liar to my face. I told her I'm contacting my lawyers and leaving reviews for everyone to hear about this. She accused me of driving almost one hour there and back to exchange food, at an establishment I've eaten at 30 times plus a year at for 10 years like I'm running a super long con. Embarrassing for Maria the manager and embarrassed for Zankou as a corporation for selling food which lead to product liability laws impeded and is clear case for negligence in food safety.

SEND IN THE HEALTH INSPECTOR! I did a big order at this location and every person who had the Falafel plate got really sick. One is even in the ER right now with food poisoning. This is crazy because I’ve loved Zankou for years and this has never happened.

This Zankou has good garlic sauce paste also. Not all Zankou places are the same. This one is clean, friendly, has fresh chicken, rice, hummus, pickled veggies/yellow peppers. First time to stop by this location and very satisfied. Great location, not run down, easy access, ample parking in the plaza.

I used to order from this place all the time. Recently, I ordered dinner there and had my dad pick it up because he was already out. I come to find out that some disrespectful worker there not only had attitude when my dad tried to pick it up, but had the nerve to say, "We've had issues with homeless people trying to read the names off tickets and try to take orders." Like, brother what!? You compare my dad to a homeless person? The disrespect towards your customers is unreal. Not only that, but the food wasn't even good and was super dry. After years of going here, I will not be going back and I suggest you reevaluate your employees (at least that one in particular).

Staff is very friendly. Not as many drink options as other Zankou locations. Chicken was undercooked and gristly.

Zankou’s new location rocks. I love the decor and the extra large parking lot.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, babaghanouj and more.
