Armani’s Mediterranean Bakery & Food

The best kabob I’ve ever had in my life. Plus the staff was so friendly. Didn’t know I couldn’t find food this good in Palmdale. I recommend everyone to and try this. By the way try the gazoz soda!!!

I have be going to this place for over a year and try different items on the menu and I am always impressed with the taste and quality of their food. We especially love their lamb kabob! That’s our go to plate although everything else is delicious! Their pastries are delicious as well! Especially their cheese rolls! Great food and they keep their place clean!

Let me tell you about the best middle eastern food in all of Palmdale! Everything is so fresh and tasty not to mention the AMAZING SERVICE. Jerry, Jasmine, Valentina and Serop are the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Do your self a favor and go eat here.
My favorite is this soda they have called Gazoz, give it a try with a shish kabob plate.

I can still taste the delicious meal we had at this restaurant yesterday. The meat and other ingredients were fresh and high quality and they served them just to perfection. We had the lamb kabob and falafel sandwich and later baklava. They were all plenty and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this restaurant

I’m a vegetarian and I really appreciate the vegetarian options on their menu. I have to say, the falafel sandwich is one of the best I’ve had. Even the bread is really good. It’s like the thin pita but it’s not dry, it’s fluffy. And I like that they put tomato, letuce, and pickled veggies, it’s not just the falafel. It’s $ 5.99 and it’s a decent portion and filling.
They also have this bread called Beorek that comes with either cheese, spinach, and potato. All three are pretty good and they’re less than 2 dollars. I haven’t tried soups but I believe they have a vegetarian lentil soup.
Another plus is that they have deserts. You can pick up something sweet and savory. There are a few tables where you can eat or get it to go, the times I’ve gone I’ve waited about 10 minutes for my food.
Last thing I’ll say is that the people are so nice and friendly, but the person who takes your order will probably be back and forth between the kitchen and front counter. You might have to wait a minute to get your order taken but it’s definitely worth it.

I love supporting local family owned business and I hope this place stays open forever.
The food here is amazing.
We always buy the chicken kabob plate, it’s reasonably priced adequate portions and the flavors are incredible.
I never eat in.
The atmosphere is not too welcoming for dining because it’s built like a donut shop but I don’t really care. Just call in your order and in 15 minutes it’s good to go.

Came here a few weeks ago the owner was so nice and the food was amazing. I want to try their pastries next time. They recommend calling ahead if you are ordering food because everything is cooked fresh. But if you don’t and have some time it’s so worth the wait!
Also their baklava was amazing! If I was throwing a party I would definitely consider catering with them!

Good stuff, nice staff. The food was fresh, the service was fast and the staff was helpful in recommending good items for us to order since we were new to this type of food. The savory pastries were delicious and I love the chicken plate! :)

Great food and service. Jerry is awesome at multitasking and serves his guest very well. I had the chicken kabob and it was delicious. The humus was very authentic tasting. I will definitely be back to this restaurant.

Family-​style, small interior, great for take out or ordering ahead. Food is authentic and tastes delicious

Ordered a falafel. Wow very few places make it fresh instead of using a powdered mix. Not as crispy but its made out beans which unless you add a bunch of flower to them it hard to make super crispy without becoming grease bombs. Would love to see some specials or a little bit lower prices because this is Palmdale not the valley. Owners are very nice and helpful. Would have given 5 stars if prices were a little lower. Garbanzo beans and veggies are pretty low food cost. Having specials for 2 bucks less would greatly increase business. I know if I could get a falafel for 4 I would buy 2 instead of 1. There sauces and veggies are fresh as well. Everything is spiced very well.

My daughter and I came in today for lunch and we were so glad we did!
First of all, upon entering we were greated by two smiling faces. The restaurant was very clean, neat and quaint. We both ordered beef kabobs that were juicy, well marinated and tender. They were cooked to order fresh! The portions were large. The kabob meal came with a side salad, pita, hummus, white rice and grilled tomato and jalapeño. We also tried the cheese pastry (can’t remember the name) and it was without a doubt the highlight to our meal.
The friendliness of the staff, cleanliness of the restaurant and delicious food has made a returning customer out of me!
This is by far one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the antelope valley. This is a must try for anyone!

The food is prepared well, the staff is attentive and professional. The length of time it takes to receive my orders are roughy 30 minutes which is long, but tells me they prepare it fresh. Having said this. The food is good and the price is fair, however the owner is a vile woman who is rude to costumes and her staff. I have been in several times. And each time I have had a negative experience when dealing with the owner. I will no longer support this tyrant with my money and my hope is that any who are reading this won’t either.

Omg. I rarely give 5 stars. But this pave deserves it and my return business. Forget about taco bell, McDonald’s, burger King or any other fast food places.
This place is very reasonable, the service of a true hospitable «mom & pop» restaurant and their food is as real and authentic as the woman who served it.
Hubby went in their to get some take out for me and the older of the 2 ladies came out with fresh homemade pastries and offered him to try one and if he liked it he could eat the whole tray. Although he probably could, he didn’t but said it was delicious.
I will forego the local pizzarias’ and mediocre Mexican food restaurants and come here from now on. I had the lamb kabob platter.
But I’m going to make it my personal mission to try everything on the menu at least once. If you lounge mediterranean, you’ll love this place.

Five stars for the service, price-​to-​portion ratio, and the home-​cooked flavor of the food. They make every order fresh. It takes a bit more time than other restaurants, but it’s worth the wait. I have eaten Armenian food both in people’s homes, and at restaurants. For me, this is the real deal. Highly recommend.
Those of you who may think that reviews are skewed by provincial reviewers who live in a «hic town» and «think that shawarma is a snake charmer» are dead wrong. There are a great many choices of restaurants in the AV, including other «Mediterranean”/“Greek» style places. I use Unilocal regularly here and when I travel (heavily, for work). In my travels I have tried a plethora of Greek/​Lebanese/​Armenian restaurants and still find Armani’s to be one of the most delicious. In my opinion, Armani’s ranks as one of the best in many states and cities.

Best kabobs here in AV !
LovE their hummus and salad chicken very juicy … Will forever return. Great service!!!

Excellent food! We got a bunch of stuff to go– the beef lule kabob sandwich, the garlic chicken plate, some cheese beorek’s and some cheese rolls for desset. Service was also great. Everything is fresh and EVERYTHING was amazing… but those cheese rolls were on another level! They were soooo good! New addiction! Definitely recommend this place!

I had been wanting to try out this place ever since they opened. Sadly, I never carry cash on me and for the longest time it was cash only. Finally, I drove by today and saw they are now taking credit cards. I ordered the lentil soup and garlic chicken sandwich. Both things were super fresh and delicious! There is a $ 10 minimum required for credit card purchase. So I’m giving it four stars mainly because of the price. I spent $ 11 on this food, so I feel maybe it was a little bit overpriced. However, the place is clean and the food is good, so I will definitely be back!

I lived in Glendale (outside of Armenia, they have the largest population of Armenians) and you couldn’t turn a corner without bumping into an authentic Armenian/​Mediterranean food joint (Zankou Chicken is out of this world with that garlic sauce that will give you new sensations. The founder shot his whole family a few years ago, but you go for the chick’n and not the morbidity of it’s backstory) so I know my Armenian food.
The pastries are good, over priced, but nothing to write home to uncle Vardam about.
The food is O.K. and I think the reason this place get’s the reviews they do is because this is Palmdale, not a big place for diversity with anything other than American food fair and Mexican, so anything in this hic town, most of the residents here think shawarma is a snake charmer, is going to be like they traveled to the middle east and had amazing exotic food (Hey Palmdale! Open a Jewish deli!!! Would an Indian restaurant kill you?).
Over all a decent place for it’s location, a little nosey when questioning me and my gay partner with «how are you two related?, but nice people

I have been wanting to come here for a long time! Mediterranean on the east side? Perfect! It’s a small ma’ and pa’ shop & you can tell the food is super home cooked!
They have a lot of pastries to choose from for dessert but i was there for lunch!
I had 6 grape leaves and the chicken kabob plate. Took a while to make but sooooo good! The food comes out hot, delicious and fills you up!
There are a lot of options on the menu, you can order ahead of time, and they have a variety of drinks like yogurt milk!
I returned a week later and will keep coming back to try everything on menu! The employees are helpful and beyond nice!
