    Now THIS is good food. Whenever you’re in LA, I heartily recommend taking a trip to Glendale just to experience top notch Mediterranean eating at an unbelievable price. This is a family owned place where they treat you like a good friend. I was sincerely welcomed by Alan, a caring and wise soul you will remember warmly. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Even the complimentary salad is worth writing home about. Everything is homemade family recipes using quality ingredients, including the hummus and baklava. I had the chicken kabab — it was juicy and cooked to perfection in aromatic herbs — dip it in the fresh garlic sauce to make your eyes roll back. These guys are kings.

    This is legitimate Mediterranean food people. Fresh, made to order, and truly delicious. This was the best babbaganoush I’ve had. For something interesting, try the Kibeh (fried meatball basically).

    Quite frankly the best lebanese food I've ever had. There are meals that remind of you home, your mother or grandmother cooking for you in the kitchen. Meals that remind you of being loved as a child. I have no relation to Lebanon or Lebanese food, I'm literally Korean, but this made me think of the type of food your grandmother who kept the recipe a secret would make. Come to this place, and it feels like you've come home. The lemon cabbage, the hummus, the chicken, the skewers... You can't go wrong, because they do it all right. The food is fantastic, but the people who run this establishment are delightful. Genuinely run by people who serve the community incredible food, and will continue to be eaten by people like my lucky enough to eat whatever they will serve.

    Absolutely delicious and 100% authentic Lebanese cuisine. Everything was freshly prepared. Kebab was exquisite. Sides/appetizers were fantastic. One of the best Lebanese restaurants I've been to in all of the Los Angeles area.

    The best Lebanese restaurant. Great service and fresh quality ingredients. Their hummus is the best I've had anywhere. It's made fresh daily like everything else. Yum!!!

    I love this place! The food is great! Actually No, the food is amazing, phenomenal! It is some of the best food I've ever had! My only issue is with the fried Keibbeh... I want it!! and a lot of it!! and when I order [to go] they only allow a certain number of pieces of kibbeh per to go order. So if I had to say anything, it would be to raise up the number of fried keibbeh that is allowed per order. The keibbeh is amazing! It's the best I've had! Wouldn't change a thing! And the service and employees are the friendliest and most polite, best people I've come across in a restaurant setting! Always accommodating and down to earth people! I highly recommend this restaurant for all things, for to go orders, for dining, and for catering!

    Danny was very friendly and professional. The service was fast and efficient. The place is very busy. Small free parking lot located in the back of the restaurant. I highly recommend getting the chicken and lamb with rice dish and the hummus and pita bread is fresh. The restaurant is small but clean. There are a few table you can sit and eat in as well.

    I visited Lebanon a few weeks back and wanted to scratch my itch for Lebanese Cuisine. I was VERY surprised at how closely some of the dishes tasted despite the produce being different than Lebanon. I was so impressed by the service as well, we were so well taken care of and asked by 4 different servers/owners if things were good or if we needed anything. I felt as if I was eating at a Lebanese home. The whole experience, the quality of the food, the perfectly cooked lamb and beef all contributed to this being one of the best Lebanese restaurants I've been to in the US. Don't walk, run here! You will not be disappointed!

    I love Skaf's. Their food is amazingly authentic Lebanese, and delicious. Their service is great, and their prices are excellent. I could not have asked for more.

    This is easily the best Lebanese food I’ve ever had in L.A. I’ve eaten there a number of times. Moving forward, I’m going to try to make it over there at least a few times on every trip. Their chicken and beef shawarma sandwiches are fantastic. The frog legs are also great. A friend of mine recently got the falafel, and she loved it. To top it off, the owners are nice people.

    You can usually count on receiving some extra food with your order besides the main entrée. I ordered white fish with rice, and I also received a tray of freshly cooked, perfectly seasoned cabbage salad. My fish was really delicious, the meat was quite tender, and the crispy outside layer gave it a very savory flavor to my taste buds.

    I’ve been here a few times and definitely recommend it. The service is great and the owner is pretty cool. I recommend the chicken or lamb kebab. Their lamb isn’t gamey at all somehow.

    This is one of the best Lebanese restaurants I have ever eaten from. I have yet to have a bad dish from there. The food travels well and you can tell that the people running this place love food. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Ron K. 6 years ago on Google
    Skaf has been at this location for such a long time and the quality never disappoints. The owners are Lebanese and the food is very authentic. So SO SO good. The kababs are amazing and the hummus is so good. the salads...everything pretty much is top notch. The baklavas are not so intense and melt in your mouth. Syrup is held and not drenched like it should be. Great place for a date and for a rich cuisine. Get the Lebanese Ashta Desert! You will Thank me!

    Friendly service with good food. Parking available in the back, though it is perpetually full.

  • 5/5 Jessica H. 2 years ago on Google
    The owner is so passionate about this restaurant, the atmosphere is beyond welcoming. The service is amazing. The food is phenomenal and will leave your taste buds dancing after a nice authentic Lebanese dish. I had the fried fish and it was absolutely amazing, I would definitely recommend it. Not to mention the hummus and the salads are to die for. I am so glad that my dad referred me to this restaurant. 100/10 would recommend and would come back to this place.

    Omg the beef and lamb kabobs here melt in your mouth 😋. The falafel and hamus are so authentic and have very generous portions. A true hidden gym in Glendale for those from out of town.

  • 5/5 Edith G. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was great, that I forgot to snap a pic😅, place is busy but is worth the wait, Armenian coffee was great I invite every one who is a coffee lover to give it a try. The whole environment is neat, restrooms were clean, this is always a plus for me, it tells me that the place is on top of everything not just your meal. Once your order goes thru the waiting goes smooth, remember that many menu items are prepare at the moment you order it. Delicious 😋, the host was sensational....

    We came here because LA Times rated it as one of the 100 Best. It is difficult to rate a restaurant during covid fairly as most people experienced them as takeout. We think it is fine but for an area full of similar types of establishments, hard to see us go back again?

    Second time here and I’m extremely happy with my meal and the quality of the meat! Beautiful family owned restaurant & they do an excellent job on the food. The 3 meats platter is my favorite! Juicy & cooked to perfection.
