What People Are Saying About Zankou Chicken
The Editor

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 the attention and deservedly so. Tender, moist and permeated with flavor, it's rotisserie roasted to crisp perfection. But the rest of the menu easily meets or beats the bird. Soujouk is an…

soooooooooo good!

i'm not into middle eastern food, but i always get 3 of their beef schwarma sandwiches at a time from here and pay extra for their large garlic paste! the pickled peppers and beets really add to the flavor of the hummus spread inside the sandwich. i've had the chicken too but don't care for it.
- Pros: awesome beef schwarmas
- Cons: you can't place large orders over the phone- you have to wait for your order outside the line

Garlic sauce, garlic sauce, garlic sauce, garlic sauce, garlic sauce!

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
by famousblueraincoat at Citysearch
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 lot is small and frustrating. You could do worse, but you could also do a lot better.
- Pros: still a decent value
- Cons: sandwiches either dry or greasy, parking lot small

Though the chicken skin will lose its crispy texture, it's just as delicious the next day. Order a whole chicken or two and save some for later.
