FurnSaj Bakery, Lebanese Food, Granada Hills, CA

 %28-%12-%2019, %R Lebanese, Middle Eastern
  • 11146 Balboa Blvd.
  • Granada Hills CA 91344


    Sometimes you go to a place that you have seen for years and are just blown away, finding an absolute gem that you wish you had been to years ago. Well FurnSaj bakery is just such a place. When we went it was packed with many Lebanese peoe there too, which is always a good sign! And it is inexpensive with huge portions!

    I got a beef shawarma plate with humus and french fries , though I wanted rice. The portion as huge with big picckled turnips and a huge flat bread and the meat was just awesome!

    My wife got a Kafta with cheese which meat onions and cheese, and it was phenomenal, not a pizza but so tasty of a tad greesy on top, but well worth it especially for $5.49!

Zankou Chicken, Middle Eastern, Northridge, CA

 %18-%01-%2013, %R Middle Eastern

I have loved Zankou for a long time, especially the Hollywood original location, but I am so glad that this one has opened up near my house, and owned by the same owners as the orignal. And their garlic sauce is awesome as always.
I used to always get a whole chicken, extra pita and a falafel plate to make my own wraps, but lately I just get a chicken tarna plate. Also great are their kebobs, but they cook from scratch, so they take longer to cook (about 20 minutes), so expect a wait.
The service is fast and friendly, and unlike the Hollywood location they do take credit card.
My only negative is that you might have to park a little far away as the little parking lot next to it, fills up really quick (there is always nearby parking, but just a little farther away).
Always have and always will love Zankou!

This is an excellent Middle Eastern restaurant in a little strip mall near my mother's place in Cleveland Heights. And don't let the outside fool you, the inside is really cute, and playing Turkish music. The wait staff is quite nice, and the service is quick, the food that is tasty and inexpensive.

Zankou Chicken, Armenian Chicken and Beef, Burbank, CA

Zankou Chicken

In a Shopping Mall in Burbank, North of the Media Center mall, and right next to the Gelato and Ice Cream place Creme De La Creme which I just reviewed. I still don't know the story of why the one in Los Angeles is not on the web site, but I do know that was the first one, so there must have been a family dispute. Anyway, this one is as delicious as the original, but has a photo menu and 2 cashier's, one for cash and one for credit. the food is inexpensive and top notch.

Zankou Chicken, Chicken and Armenian Restaurant, Los Angeles, California

Strangely the Zankou web site, doesn't list the original restaurant, which is in a little strip mall at the corner of Normandie and Sunset. If you like roasted chicken, you can't beat this place. The chicken is so moist, it just comes apart with a touch, and the garlic sauce is to die for. The menu is short and easy, and this one has more items than the rest. You really can't beat this place for some good chicken.
