The food here is amazing, I recommend this to anyone. We tried the half chicken and rice and also tried the Shawerma. The garlic spread is very good and went well with the rice. Again, this is one of those places we wish we had in our area. Perhaps one day it will become a nationwide chain!

We have several locations from Pasadena to the San Fernando Valley. The food is great. It is "fast food" with a dining area at most locations.

very affordable and the only place I would go for garlic paste. =) I love how you can pull the bone out of the chicken without having the meat cling on the bone. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat chicken. The one on Sepulveda and the one in burbank are the places I loved going to.

One or two more side dishes would be nice it doesn't have to be processed junk but give customers a better choice. The chicken is pretty good though!

had a 1/4 white meat chicken plate. came with hummus and pita which was delicious, and another side of pickled cabbage and tomatoes, that was kind of bland. chicken with the garlic sauce was good. also tried the falafel and that was also good. friendly staff. nice patio. good value for a chain!

I work in the area during my visit to LA. Loved the hummus and the chicken Kabob is juicy and very tasty. If you love good hummus and some kabob, you definitely have to try Zankou Chicken!

Zankou is a chain of Lebanese/Armenian restaurants that offer typical food for that part of the world, but they do it fast food style. Their roasted chicken is similar to such things as El Pollo Loco with the difference being their garlic sauce. This is what puts it two or three steps above El Pollo Loco. Building a pita sandwich...

Although they have recently raised their prices, they are still really reasonable - and it isn't easy to find a restaurant that hits on all three sides of the triangle. (Usually you only get two sides: cheap and fast, but not good, etc.) Zankou is the exception to the rule. Unfortunately I cannot speak to all the foods here, since... More

Great roasted chicken, hummus, and salad. Super quick. Locations all over LA and they're all good though my favorites are in Burbank and Toluca as they're the nicest locations.
