    My daughter and I tried Skaf’s in Glendale for the first time and it was such a great experience! The food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious full of flavor in every bite. The two gentlemen there (I’m not sure if they were the owners) gave me the best hospitality I’ve experienced all year. Definitely a must-try spot, and I can’t wait to go back!

    The food was delicious. Very authentic flavors cooked to perfection. The kibbe was moist, the meat tender and perfectly spiced and grilled, and the fish and falafel were crisp and tasty. The service was excellent and prompt. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal, casual ambiance and the service. I highly recommend Skaf's

    Glendale has a lot of Mediterranean food, but skaf stands out as one of the best of the best! Their beef kebab is so juicy and tender they let you choose how well it is cooked too. So if you like rare, medium or well done. It’s all up to you! The seasoning is on point too! Same thing with their chicken kebab (of course fully cooked only) Very juicy and tender, along with their garlic sauce, OMG! it’s a treat! And their hummus, probably the best in town. I used to live in Glendale, but move away two years ago, but I still come back to Glendale just to eat at this restaurant. If you enjoy Mediterranean food kebab that kind of stuff, this is a must visit restaurant. If I was a Michelin star reviewer I would definitely give this restaurant a Michelin star.

    I had the beef shawarma. It was extremely delicious and juicy. Can't wait to go back. They were kind enough to let me try some of the hummus and it was also really good. Adding this place to my list
