Visited for the third or fourth time. A consistent hit! My daughter in-law is gluten and dairy intolerant. They accommodate her needs with enthusiasm. A favorite for her father, who was born in Iraq. Looking forward to our next visit. The salmon is outstanding

We usually go to Raffi's Place in Glendale as well as Nersses Vanak Restaurant but wanted to give Adana a try; we're so glad we did. The Chicken Kabob, it comes with two sides and white rice with saffron. The chicken Kabob is delicious & tender, the white rice has actually saffron, not like others that you can't tell. It's worth trying this place, I'm certain you won't be disappointed. The restaurant is clean, and customer service was great. My only regret is that I live out of town wish it was closer to home, I think I found my new favorite location.

I love this place so much. Tonight I choose pork ribs and they were perfect. Always get the region's best hummus and the Felicia avocado salad.

A strong five stars without a doubt! After hearing that Los Angeles County is home to a large Armenian population, I knew we had to try their cuisine. By chance, I happened to see this restaurant was just a few minutes from our hotel. With the promising ratings, and seeing that it's a humble independent restaurant, I selected Adana with enthusiasm. The restaurant's space is fairly small with just a few tables, and at 4:00PM, a couple of customers were finishing up their meals when we entered. We asked our waitress about the size of the entrées and she mentioned they are pretty large since they include salad, hummus and pita. That said, we decided to order three entrees for the four of us to share, specifically two of the Combination and one Soltani Combo. Our waitress had a wonderful idea of serving everything family style. All the meat and rice literally came on a platter, with bowls of salad, hummus and seasoned onions on the side. Alongside all of this, she brought out a basket with two types of pita - one soft, and the other toasted. It was a TON of food! + COMBINATION DINNER ($25.99): Including chicken, beef and looleh (ground lamb kabob), this plate provides you with a perfect variety. The chicken was absolutely flawless! I normally don't describe chicken as being succulent, but this one was so juicy, and marinated with a perfect grill. It may be one of my top chicken dishes... ever! I also loved the looleh, which was flavored with onion, parsley and some warm spices. I can be hesitant to order lamb due to the gaminess, but I didn't find it too wild at all. Somehow, I missed trying a bite of the beef, but my dining companions apparently enjoyed it since they gobbled it all up before I could snatch some. + SOLTANI COMBO DINNER ($37.99): In terms of meats, this plate had cuts of filet mignon and a koobideh (ground beef) kabab. The filet mignon was pretty tender and tasted quite natural, which is how it should be enjoyed. The koobideh was also delicious, hefty with a rich beefy flavor. These dishes came with a fluffy side of rice, which tasted a little buttery. I couldn't stop eating the refreshing Persian Salad of chopped cucumber and tomato, in addition to the side of sliced marinated onions. Both of these brought a nice crunch and their acidity paired perfectly in between bites of meat. Their hummus was impeccable as well... so nutty and light, almost having a whipped consistency. The hummus of my dreams, seriously! If that wasn't enough food, I couldn't resist trying their EGGPLANT DISH ($10.99) appetizer. Also known as Kashk-e-Bademjan, fried eggplant came topped with condensed yogurt, fried onions and mint. The eggplant was sliced thin and tasted like it had a slight char. The yogurt sauce was nice and creamy with the onions adding so much flavor and the mint gave it a cool finish. Needless to say, I loved this! Our waitress was the sweetest, being so genuine and providing us with the best hospitality. She shared that the restaurant's owner uses ingredients of the utmost quality, including real saffron from abroad. I had no doubts, as I could taste the care and love that the chef poured into the dishes. Adana truly sets the bar high!

This may be the best kebab I have had in LA. I've tried so many different incredible places but the steak was so tender, the lamb was so beautifully seasoned, and the flavors were so exceptional. You can tell the staff is no nonsense and absolutely will not say that what they have is better than anywhere else, they don't compare one item on the menu to another, and when I said their kebab was my favorite he said they just do their best and there's no competition in the industry just different people doing their own thing and I love that. It really comes through in the food and the service, you get the sense that they are down to earth and no gimmicks, they believe in every single thing on the menu and it is undoubtedly fantastic. I am excited to come back and try other menu items although I will never not get the lamb because it is now my number 1 lamb in LA. The interior is simple and there's no frills. I love that but some people like more pageantry. Our server was very friendly and gave us just the right amount of telling us about the food vs letting us do our thing. Love it!

A friend and I recently met at Adana for lunch. The restaurant's interior is a bit dated, but the food was excellent. We both ordered the chicken kabob lunch--chunks of chicken thigh with rice and a small Mediterranean chopped salad--perfectly cooked. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. They have a few parking spaces on the south side of the restaurant, otherwise, street parking is available.

Another amazing spot recommended by my friend. This restaurant is a hidden gem, I never would've found it without someone specifically telling me where it is. Definitely worth checking out. There is a small parking lot right next to it and I think I saw metered street parking. I went post lunch so I'm pretty sure I barely missed the crowd. The food is delicious! I definitely recommend the steak, it was a balance of well cooked and juicy. That is such a hard balance to hit but they do it! They also provide you with pita bread and fried pita bread! It was amazing! The side dishes are delightfully fresh and tasty. If you're an onion lover like me make sure to order the onions with all the spices, it's just so darn good! The ambience is nice! The server was super helpful and answered all my annoying questions (as I normally do). Definitely going to return soon!
