Original Kabob Factory

I ordered the package for 15 people for a birthday celebration. The food was very taste, the sauces very delicious and customer service very friendly. I gave them 4 stars because they have to work on the meat portion. It is very limited. The package have chicken,beef and pork and literally 1 piece of each per person. The tomatoes, it came with 10, therefore 5 of my guests didn’t try it. For a few a 14.00/person (package is $209.00) they can do better. But overall, the food was tasty.

The best in town! Im from Chicago and when I come to LA I always make sure to make a stop here and get my kabobs. Food and service is amazing. Always on point!

We read FAKE ‼️reviews and pictures of kabobs cooked over charcoal and went to the Original Kabob Factory hoping to enjoy our food, but food was nothing like what we expected: there were just 4 pieces of shish kabob over unseasoned tasteless rice, meat had no grill flavor, definitely it wasn’t wood-fired, not sure why they even have those pictures posted here. Onions were just slightly seasoned and barely had any salt on them. Two pieces of charred vegetables, they were alright, the vegetables sauce that came with meat was great, I assume it was ikra or something similar. Would have been better if there were some pickled vegetables, marinated onions, sliced grilled vegetables, pita bread, some hummus or something like that to come with a platter over 4 pieces of meat and rice. Comment about “the best in town” is sure is an exaggerated lie. Or a paid review. Not to mention we were talked to like we were babies and our cashier confirmed 4 times if we want shish kabobs saying each time “it is gonna be pieces” “pieces” and showing gestures with her fingers of “pieces” - it was our first time in that place, not our first time seeing kabobs. It was ridiculous. What commons many ethnic places is that they their food and menus represent their cuisine with love, like if they were making it for their families. There was no love put into dished we had. What is said on their web site: “Our recipes have been passed down (for years) from expert chefs dating back to the former Avetis Blikian – a famous “khasab” (butcher) in Armenia that facilitated the country’s entire domestic livestock market.” - recipes of unseasoned rice and onions? If this is Armenian food then I’m Albert Einstein.

First time I tried kabobs here was two years ago and it tasted like BBQ and had flavor. After changing locations I want to say I’ve ordered 4 times from here and I ordered chicken shish and beef shish kabob and all 4 times it tasted just terrible. Very tasteless. Meat has no seasoning.. rice was very tasteless. They give you all rice and 4 pieces of meat. My entire family eating it one by one expressed same dislike. Looks like BBQ but doesn’t taste like BBQ. Chicken has no flavor it’s very blunt. Feel like boiled and not BBQ. Beef was cut too thin and all quality was terrible and no taste. Portions are minimized. This will be the last time I order from here. Especially when there are too many better kabob restaurants in the area.

Good place to satisfy some Kabab cravings. This please is nicely tucked in on the corner of Glenoaks and Western. They have a parking lot behind the establishment but you will need to walk out of the lot and to the front to access the store. Upon entering the store for the first time it may seem confusing as it looks like a fancy butchers shop which sells marinated meat. But if you walk up to the register they will take your order there. The food quality is decent and the portions are decent too. The place looks busy and you can order via the phone. Their combo come with a side of rice, lavash, roasted tomato, chili and the meat. The prices are not bad. The food taste good.
