Business Description from the Web

This Armenian mini-chain arguably serves the best fast-food chicken in town. Massive rotisseries turn out plump, juicy birds with a delicate crust that the Colonel can only fantasize about, and the prices are rock bottom. Pita bread and a killer garlic paste come with the chicken, and a combo plate includes hummus, tomatoes and pickled turnips, too. The tarna (chicken shawarma) plate, complete with ... more

Zankou Chicken is a quick service place that serves patrons eclectic Middle Eastern. Expect the average entrée to cost between $8 and $12.

Forget the Colonel. Zankou's aromatic, Armenian-style rotisserie chicken with perfectly crisp, golden skin is one of L.A.'s truly great budget meals. It's served with pita bread, veggies, hummus, and unforgettable garlic sauce. If this doesn't do it for you, try the kebabs, falafel, or sensational shawarma (spit-roasted lamb or chicken) plates. Reservations not accepted. No credit cards.

The Scene The original Zankou Chicken isn't much to look at: a narrow slice in an unremarkable Hollywood strip mall. But the glowing critical accolades Zankou has garnered--blown up, framed and proudly displayed--foreshadow fabulous fare that will quickly make you forget the orange Formica and faux wood-paneled ambience. The Food Spit-roasted chicken attracts most of ... more

The chicken is good, the food is cheap, but it's really all about the GARLIC SAUCE!!! Make sure not to go here before you go out for the evening or you will reek! It so good you want to keep eating it, and you do. And then your tongue hurts later. But it's worth it!

Pros

+ Garlic sauce

Cons

- Not the best area

Quality suffering

I used to love eating here, but in the last couple of years, the quality has really gone down. The food is either too greasy (literally dripping out the bottom) or super dry on the tarna sandwiches. Don't even get me started on falafels (also very dry). Considering there are so many other locations now (particularly the West LA one and the Burbank one), I just don't bother anymore. Plus, the parking ... more
