    This is game-changer level chicken! This is an absolute must try, the portions are nice and big. And the food tastes so so good! Seriously though, the chicken has to be the best I have tried. Their garlic butter is incredibly good too and you're very likely to leave your plate clean. I can't recommend this place enough!

    2nd time coming here. First time wasn't do impressed as I got a wrap. 2nd time I got the plate and wow was the experience different. I recommend getting the plate. I got the 1/2 chicken 1/2 beef kabob plate. It was delicious. That garlic sauce is addicting. While the wraps are okay, they lack something. I can't really put my thoughts on it, but try it for yourself. Friendly staff can help explain some of the sides if you aren't familiar with the items.

    I love coming to Zankou! I always order 2 skewers of shish kabob and hummus. Taste great! Garlic sauce is amazing. Avoid the salad, its not my favorite here. Rotisserie chicken is tasty and juicy! I only recommend you personal add salt to your rice so everything could be savory and perfect. I highly recommend Zankou Chicken!

    Very expensive for buying 2 sandwiches. Cashier Service 0 of 10. Chicken wrap was very bad cold as if it was left overs from the day before and bread was soggy as it splits open and not fresh. This is the second time it happenes to me after 8 months ago visit but it was with a beef shawarma. My visit was Dec 2nd 2021 around 0300 pm

    Zankou is the king of Mediterranean food, a legend. Mamba status! There were some menu tweaks over the years, but the taste is the same I always remembered which makes me keep coming back! Their shirts used to be sale for $3.99. Tania is a superstar! She was so friendly and accommodating despite the busy rush and lines! Pros Garlic sauce is the best Super friendly Casual fast food dining The app saves me time Cons Absolutely none! Been coming here for 20 years and I’ll be a loyal customer to the end!

    The food here is satisfactory but not exceptional. I prefer Sahara Falafel in Anaheim not to far from this place. They have an amazing homemade chili sauce and garlic sauce.

    Zankou chicken is always looked forward to after a long day. If you need to feed 1 person or 10, they got you covered. My friends and family love the whole rotisserie chicken meal as well as the chicken kebabs and hummus. Great Mediterranean food.

  • 5/5 Elf G. 5 months ago on Google
    TOP RATED FOR A GOOD REASON. Sorry for yelling, I just am that enthusiastic about this place! They have earned it. Just go there and see for yourself. I had falafel and I loved it, need to go back for the rest of the menu. These are people that care about what they are doing and it shows.

    The food is good; the staff are polite and helpful with excellent customer service. Lots of parking space close by and the atmosphere was pleasant. I took a star off because the opening hours were listed on the website and front were incorrect. We arrived there during opening hours as stated on their business but they were closed and we had to wait for a while for them to open.

    We have known this place since the early 90’s and I must say the food here is delicious. Great customer service!

  • 5/5 Frederic D. 9 months ago on Google
    The sign says that their chicken is the greatest. I agree fully. Moist, tender, and flavorful. All of the fixings. Take it home, your friends and family will think that you know where to get the good stuff.

  • 4/5 Randy A. 6 months ago on Google
    the chicken, the garlic dip, the tri tip shwarma, the easy ordering with quick service (not a huge menu, and easy to read). the well cooked, tender and juicy whole chicken and the garlic sauce is recommended. meal plan for the whole week! 08.17.23 the parking lot is typically full, and today was the first time that i haven't been in a line to order. must have been between the food rush. still a tasty fast food (as in, you'll enjoy it so much that you'll inhale it before you realize how quick you're eating it). 09.01.23 really quick today before the weekend rush. If you're feeling shawarma, early is the way to go.

    Always amazing shish kabob and chicken kabob. And this location did not disappoint. Still getting over price increases from a few years ago, but food continues to be amazing. Also, i only had the Zankou falafel one time before. I was oleasantly surprised this time with the quality of the falafel. Crispy on the outside. Steamy and moist on the inside. I think I'll ne getting more falafel from now on!

  • 5/5 Aaron K. 9 months ago on Google
    Omg their beef (filet) kabob is amazing! I don't think I have ever had better Mediterranean food anywhere in SoCal. They really know how to cook, the chicken isn't dry, the hummus and garlic paste are so good! This is my go-to spot for lunch or dinner whenever I am in the area.

  • 5/5 Manuel O. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food a at a reasonable price!customer service could be better but it is not bad on this day I could tell they were overwhelmed and probably understaffed because the trash was overflowing but this was a fluke it is usually pretty well kept!

  • 4/5 Genevieve M. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered 2 chicken half plates and it came out to about $32 then when I looked... the family pack was actually $32 so I don't know we probably should have gotten the family pack. In either case, the chicken is always delicious the pita bread is fresh, the garlic sauce is light and fluffy And this time the tabbouleh was a bit dry but it could be that it was already at the end of the day. Nothing tastes better than zankous roasted chicken

  • 5/5 Evie Yeng V. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Zankou!! The service is always quick, the menu is pretty straight forward and their side dishes are always good (e.g., pickle radish, hummus). Get the garlic spread to go with your wrap if you go that route, never disappoints unless you're a bland eater than just do the roasted chicken plate.

  • 4/5 Cindy L. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered shish kabob and chicken kabob that came with rice, naan, garlic sauce and salad. I thought they were worth it for the price! Loved their garlic sauce!! However, it took them about 25 mins to bring us our order. So it's a fast food place but really is not.

  • 2/5 Vanessa R. 1 year ago on Google
    I always order at the Anaheim ball road location. On 6/11/2022 I place a phone order and they said in 15 minutes so i got there a little after 15 minutes paid and they said it was not ready. So I waited I order at 353 and I didn't get my food untill 430. So I happen to ask how much more for my order and they said let me check. It happen that my order was there all these time. And the supervisor Daniel said oh sorry about that long wait. Before that there was a customer that had order his food with no olives and no cheese I believe. The whole point was that Daniel was very very rude and didn't know how to handle the situation. All the customers were there listening and he didn't care. I think that the customer is first and he just need to give the customer what he was asking for. He needs more customer service training. He was trying to explain to the customer that the bowl and the plate have the same amount of meat portion. I just think that he could of handdle it differently. It get super busy at these location. All the time. All the team needs training.

    Food is good. I can feel the over 30 years experience in this chain. Their chicken is well prepared so you don't feel any siginificant taste, just soft well cooked chicken. I tell all those who complain about the food getting expensive to stop this as the food in the entire world got more expensive just look around you. At the end this is a business that must make money.

    Picked up dinner after a Disneyland trip. Everything was fantastic as usual. Ordered the tarna and shawarma combo, two chicken kabob plate for the kids and I tried the new bowl. Everything was delicious as usual and no one can beat their garlic sauce. Yummm

  • 2/5 Ivan E. 1 year ago on Google
    Very basic. Only really like their garlic sauce and overpriced chicken. Better off buying costco chicken for $5 for a whole one instead of $15 for probably the same thing. The cashier was pretty deaf and couldn’t hear properly, even though you can see their kitchen it is not clean. I recommend only trying this place once. This is like the el pollo loco version of Mediterranean food. Go to some local restaurants nearby for better quality.
