a month agoThe OG spot from my childhood still brings me joy to come here and eat. It’s been amazing seeing the growth over the years as well for the expansion from this place to the one in Burbank which is my other favorite location to visit. This one has a special place since my dad use to be a truck driver who would deliver their chicken. I remember coming here and the owner of the place use to always stand guard and greet everyone with a nod and ready to clean tables for the next guest. They now have a bigger dinner area with many booths which are super comfy. My go to is to order the family meal of a whole chicken, pita bread, hummus, Tabbouleh salad, extra garlic spread, and gotta get baklava for dessert. I like to eat all I can so I can have some leftovers for that snack attack that creeps in later. The staff is friendly and hard working. There is a security guard dedicated in overseeing the parking lot which is nice. There is street parking if it’s full. It’s usually pretty quick but if they have a line just take a seat and know that your food is coming hot fresh and bursting with flavor. I’ve had pretty much everything on the menu and at this point this place is comfort food.

3 weeks agoZankou chicken is amazing. Their chicken will knock your sicks off. Make sure and get their garlic and Marissa sauces. Super friendly staff. Its a great place to go to with my vegan friends. They love the falafel. Glad they have several locations. Their tabbouleh, hummus, and eggplant dip is also killer.

11 months agoI use to come to this place way back in 1997 wow long time ago this is was the first Zankou to open and the owner was very nice always there with a smile greeting everybody coming to the restaurant very helpful very nice welcoming the food is amazing. 25 years later and everything still the same. Nothing change. We have to support the locals so they can stay open. They open so many other branches, but this is, was the original one keep up the good work.

2 weeks agoI've eaten at several locations available from the restaurant, and this one is definitely a favorite for portions and quality. The one in East Hollywood is a block from my house, but the service and quality has fallen off. I actually drive to this one for falafel. The portions are better here too. Small shop, so seating is a bit limited, but the staff is great.
