Reviews For Zankou Chicken

Always great. A bit garlicky, so you'll be chewing gum after lunch. The steak and chicken kebabs are awesome. The service is always reasonably quick and the portions are plentiful.

Chicken kabob plate / 2 grilled chicken kabobs, grilled tomato, marinated onions, rice, hummus, cucumber salad, pita, garlic sauce - 5 ! Some folks think whole chicken is the way to go at Zankou. Others like the vertical grill meats. I have a personal preference for their kabobs (but definitely enjoy everything on the menu). Something about the Zankou Chicken kabob plate is magical to me. I'm a big guy, and this is a meal that never fails to fill me up. It is always made fresh to order, and the meats they use are tender and filled with flavor. The kabob meats are placed on top of a bed of basmati rice, and the standard plate has cucumber salad and hummus. Every bite winds up being awesome. This is the Burbank location. It's in a place with a big parking lot, so there are no issues there. The decor is whimsical and fun. The place wasn't crowded, so food came out fast for me. If you are new to LA and want a Mediterranean meal that has many locations, Zankou is a great pic.

I love their food. I always have. You cannot go wrong with their menu selection of food either. I can honestly say they're all quite tasty and filling. The staff are also quite friendly and helpful (at least during my most recent visit). My only gripe is the very low and somewhat tight booth bench seating. I'm 6'1 and I had a hard time getting in and out of those seats. If you're a group of 4 tall folks, that will be tough. There are wheelchair / stroller access ramps with a good amount of parking spots too. If you can't park near them, there's also free parking at the lot next to it.

This location is the best, the food is always fresh and delicious. Service is good. We get the family meal, which is a great deal, this time we also added the lulu kabob. Delicious sides, you must try the Garlic sauce.

The best tasting rotisserie chicken is here, only if you eat it in a special way! That is always using allot of their special garlic sauce, by making a mini pocket of pita bread, get a small chunk of chicken dip it well into the sauce and repeat until you’re full. You’ll also be provided with pickles... tastes great with jalapeno pickles. I recommend the sides 1) Humus 2) cucumber salad. Drink: try it with regular yogurt drink. (It gets you sleepy afterwards)
