Since 1962, the Iskenderian family has shared their delicious chicken and famous secret sauce with the world. From its origin as a small restaurant in Beirut, Zankou Chicken has continually grown, and…
Zankou has stepped up their game! Everything is a little better. I've eaten there for decades. At the original in East Hollywood. Now at Pasadena. Of course it was good when Zagat included them in gourmet guide. And now it's improved a couple of degrees. Not only in the food quality, but in the packaging and presentation as well. Take out and delivery are given the attention they deserve. The TRI-TIP SHAWERMA WRAP is still tender, juicy, and delicious...just a little more so. TABBOULEH SALAD SIDE it was good before. Now it's really good. At 10:45 AM I placed my order. OMG so fresh! And it stayed fresh for a day after I brought it home.

Good food but rice and salad portions were very small and they used to be bigger. For a $20 plate I expect more. Chicken is still well seasoned and cooked.
Beef skewer a la carte was $15 & you get 4 tiny chunks of meat, it was also overcooked.

We love the Chicken Kabob Plate and rotisserie chicken BOWLs. The garlic paste is solid. Pitas are always fresh. Service is fast and the food always fresh and hot.
The bowl is massive, we find it's usually good for 2 of us to split, along with some added sides.
We order here regularly, at least monthly.

I've probably had hundreds of good meals from Zankou Chicken but tonight's half chicken plate dinner was beyond disappointing. The chicken was so overcooked and dry it was almost inedible. There was almost no meat on the leg and the bone was loose enough to fall out by itself which only happens if it's overcooked. I would also note that the portion was smaller than usual, not worth the price.

There is nothing more tasty than the roasted chicken. I love the how tender and juicy every bite is. The garlic is to die for .....best hummus! Its always a treat to enjoy Zanou.
