After hearing so many people rave about this Armenian “fast food” restaurant; I figured it was long overdo for a sampling. While everything on the menu looks great, the overwhelming majority of people recommended the Whole Chicken ($8.99) served with two pieces of pita bread and their much acclaimed garlic spread. My order was ready before I even had a chance to fill up my soft-drink cup with ice. Any comparisons to fast food stops here because the outstanding quality of their rotisserie chicken rivals any restaurant bird. Though not usually a big fan of the skin, I couldn’t get enough of it. Moist, succulent and flavorful I wrapped each bite of chicken with it, smeared it with the garlic spread, stuffed it into a piece of pita bread and quickly devoured it. As I looked around at the other patrons, it was clear that this was the preferred eating technique of choice. While being more than enough for 2 people, you might want to treat yourself to a side of Mutabbal ($3.99) grilled eggplant, fresh garlic, and tahini blended together and topped with olive oil and paprika or try a single Falafel for only ($.60). Also on the menu are their delicious wraps which include, a roasted chicken wrap ($4.29), a tri-tip shawerma wrap ($4.99)a marinated, flame-broiled tri-tip, diced tomatoes and tahini wrapped inpita bread. Now that I have had the pleasure of eating at Zankou Chicken; I have to agree that it is the best chicken in Southern California.
