"“I have been a fan of Zankou Chicken for decades. Literally at least 2 decades,” wrote a customer on Yelp. But it's the chain's delicious sauces that leave patrons really impressed."
"“Trader Joe's garlic sauce is a close second but still not as good as Zankou's,” described a fan on Reddit. Founded by an Armenian-Lebanese family in 1984, items like spit-roasted and hand-sliced beef or chicken, flame-grilled kabobs, falafel, and salad bowls are enhanced by Zankou Garlic Sauce and nutty tahini and zesty harissa sauces."
"“Garlic [Sauce] and your rice are the best thing on this earth,” noted a diner on Instagram. Both Zankou Garlic Sauce and tangy Tahini Sauce form a double threat that can balance richer, spicier foods. Though some visitors have described the chain as overrated, plenty of regulars push back, pointing to the chain's garlic sauce as being reason enough to visit."
"“nothing quite hits the spot like [Zankou's].” On Reddit, one patron even praised the vibrant Harissa Sauce by saying that “nothing quite hits the spot like [Zankou's].” Though some visitors have described the chain as overrated, plenty of regulars push back, pointing to the chain's garlic sauce as being reason enough to visit."
Zankou Chicken, founded in 1984 by an Armenian-Lebanese family, is known for spit-roasted and hand-sliced meats, flame-grilled kabobs, falafel, and salad bowls. The menu is enhanced by Zankou Garlic Sauce, tahini, and harissa, with Lebanese toum as a signature garlicky condiment. The garlic sauce uses California-grown garlic and is whipped up fresh daily. Customers frequently praise the smooth, creamy texture and the way the sauces balance richer, spicier foods, especially when paired with rice. Some people try to recreate the flavor at home, but many prefer the convenience and consistency of getting it at the restaurant. Regulars cite the sauces as a main reason to visit despite occasional claims of being overrated.
