OMG! The food is horrible, the employees need to be tested for Drugs, and it is the most disgusting floors and chairs they have. I had the chicken plate and I can't explain how sick I got. NEVER AGAIN. more

Best chicken and hummus anywhere 3/13/2007

Zankou is addictive! The chicken, hummus and garlic sauce is the best I have found. Once you have tried Zankou's chicken, you will crave it. I don't think I could live anywhere that wasn't within 25 miles of a Zankou. Hopefully they will open more restaurants. more

The first Z for me! 11/22/2006

I was first introduced to this Zankou many years ago. I loved coming here for a $4 lunch. Their garlic sauce is soooo good! I've been to many other Zankou locations but this one will always have a special place in my heart as it was the first time I experienced the yellow tshirts and rotisserie chicken! Pros: awesome quality for the price Cons: parking, long wait during lunch more

Two Garlicky Thumbs Up 9/18/2006

It was fortunate that Zankou Chicken was literally steps away from my school. It saved me many a times from the mystery meat the school cafeteria called ""chicken nuggets"". For less than $7, I was able to feast on a healthy delicious meal. It's been more than a decade since I graduated, but Zankou in Glendale (and now in Burbank!) is still my go-to place for the best rotisserie chicken in the world. The best thing on the menu is their 1/4 white meat chicken meal which comes with 2 pcs. of pita bread, garlic sauce (the best darn sauce in the world), hummus, and some pickled veggies with tomatoes and chili peppers. Service, however, is wee-bit iffy... like the SoupNazi on Seinfeld. But then again, I don't really care. I can handle a small amount of attitude in exchange for some o' that garlic sauce and chicken. If you want better service and ambience, go to the Burbank branch. They're friendlier and the restaurant itself is far, far away from the strip-mall decor the Glendale and Sunset restaurants have. Pros: Value and Food more

better then sex 9/21/2005

as long as you don't plan on having any after you eat there. this is the best chicken sandwich you can get. i drove there from sf just to eat there. i want to move to la just for zankou chicken. please open one up in san francisco!! Pros: best, best, best Cons: not in sf more

Original Charbroil & Rotisserie 10/22/2004

They have more than chicken, the Shawerma Beef plate is full of sliced char beef...delicious!!! They have many sandwiches too - Falafel or Shawerma. It's a great place to eat and right on the money. Pros: food more

Yummmyyy 7/15/2004

I have to say Zankou has the best Chicken Tarna sandwich. Everything is good there and the price is great. I would recommend anyone in the pasadena, glendale, van nuys, anaheim or hollywood area to visit zankou for a fast and great meal. The garlic is by far the greatest! Pros: food, price more

Finger Lickin' Good 2/18/2004

What KFC? Go to Zankou chicken where the food is delicious, fresh, and sure to make your mouth water. My personal favorite is the 1/4 white meat chicken plate, but the tarna(chicken) and shawerma (beef) sandwiches are to die for as well. The restaurant itself is not much to look at, but trust me, you'll be so glad you went. Pros: Delicious Food, Inexpensive Cons: , Comfort more

the best 3/8/2003

I have been to the one in L.A. and Pasadena and by far the Pasadena location is the best. The L.A. location has the worst service. They act as though they can't stand having your business. Pros: Food, Service, Prices Cons: Cash only more

Love Me Tender (Chicken) 6/13/2002

The best chicken ever! The chicken is sooooo tender and flavorful at a price that can't be beat. I recommend the 1/4 Dark Plate. It comes with dark chicken, hummus (thee best) some red stuff (I'm not sure what it is, but it's yummy) and pita bread. All of this for $3 or $4 bucks. more

Taste bud overload 6/10/2002

Forget atomosphere--whats in the sauce? Its the tastiest deal in town. Chicken schwarma sandwich is my staple, but best bets have to include a 1/2 or whole roasted chicken for under $7. I only wish there was a location west of Hollywood. Not recommended for dates (garlic sauce and you'll be accused of being cheap) but perfect for everything else. Know what you want going in because the people at the register are no-nonsense and aren't hired to help you decide. Pros: price, quality more

Zankou for you... 6/9/2002

Yum-Yum. Not many options for a vegetarian, but for all the carnivores out there this is a place that may set your tummy right. Falafels are great, and their Hummus is even better. more

Delicious garlic butter 5/28/2002

I go there for the garlic butter, and I always ask for extra. Their chicken is the best... you really can't beat the way they roast it. I always go there for a quick and cheap meal. more
