Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Burbank

This is the first time dining at Bacari GDL. We were a party of 2 sitting in the outdoor area on Brand. We thoroughly enjoyed all the “bites” we ordered: stuffed mushrooms, scallops, shawarma tacos, mushroom pizza,chicken sliders, and chocolate dessert. All were tasty and perfect for sharing. What to know: plan on ordering several dishes (appetizer size) and the food comes out as it is made, so don’t expect everything at once. There are heaters, but bring a jacket. It is still chilly on the patio. There are several staff members helping out, so make sure you get your orders if you are waiting too long. There was a mix up with our dessert. I think one waiter thought the other put in the dessert. The indoor area is small and we preferred to be outside and people watch. One thing that bugged us was that we wanted to sit closer to a heater and we were denied because it was a four-top and not allowed for a party of two AND it was being held for “reservations “. I stated that we had a reservation, but still denied. Five minutes later, they sat a party of 2. When we mentioned it to the host and said, hey, what’s up with the party of 2? The host stated that he follows the rules 🫤. Not cool, but we got over it. Overall it was an excellent experience with the food and staff . We will definitely come back to try the lettuce wraps and other items on the menu.

Food was outstanding and service was great also. We had Lamb Kabob and Shish Kabob, a bunch of appetizers like Hummus, Mutabal, and Tzatziki, as well as Quail. I wish the portions had been a little bigger and that there would be a couple more pieces of Kabob per plate. The quality was phenomenal, and I will definitely eat there again.

We had dinner before seeing a play at the Nocturne Theater (formerly Glendale Center Theater). Walking distance. Friendly staff. Great food. The servings are large, so come with an appetite.

The waiter, Hayk, provided us with exceptional service. He was incredibly attentive, always on his feet, and never idle like some other staff. He was constantly moving around, ensuring every guest was enjoying their experience. His recommendations were spot on, and his dedication truly stood out. Hayk’s hard work and professionalism make Katsin a better place to dine. He’s an asset to the team!

The performers were outstanding singers and the belly dancer. The entertainment is family oriented and welcomes all ages. Jake was our server, he was friendly and educated us about food and customs. The dinner comes with several appetizers, salads, cold and hot. Plus the main dish, drinks and hot tea or coffee is included for a specific rate per person. The diner rate is reasonable and plenty of food. Come ready to have a feast with family and friends. Recommend to make dinner reservations on the weekend. Will definitely recommend and will back again.
