Chinar Restaurant and Lounge

The restaurant is perfectly designed and the staff is super friendly and really on top of things! The food is amazing. Its so fresh, flavorful and delicious. Ambiance is great, entertainment is fun. Overall everything is perfectly designed to make sure you have a great meal and a lot of fun. They went above and beyond with this place. They also have a really cool rooftop, great bar and nice screen for sports. Staff service is A++

Had a private event for my daughter over the weekend. Mary, William and Satik were there helping and they provided an amazing service. They were all very nice, pleasant and very accommodating with all of the guests, the venue was very nice and clean and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this venue for your special occasions.

Came for my birthday in mid-December and it was a great time! Talin helped me book a table for 24 friends to come and eat/drink/dance with me. The venue was very nicely decorated and the food was very good. Some of the attendees were vegan and we all agreed the falafel was excellent. A few of my friends and I are big dancers, and we had a great time on the dance floor - everything from Armenian traditional to dabke, we were on it. Thanks again for a great time!

We dined here last night and it was great. The set menu included countless fresh and delicious appetizers, and kabobs. The service was great with live music and dj. Reading some of these reviews, I believe they were the problem and the restaurant. Thanks for a great time!

The food is awesome. Every single dish we tried was delicious. It was kind of hard to get an attention of the server since there were only two people and quite a few customers.

Last night my husband and I have been invited to my lovely aunt's birthday celebration party and I have to say, we really had great time, totally different experience but we like it a lot. The food was delicious, service was great. The only thing volume of music, was very high for that place , we're close to dance area and I couldn't hear even the person next to me, but overall we had so much fun time, especially the belly dance which was very beautiful and fun. I highly recommend everyone to try this place for any occasion!

Very good breakfasts—I would recommend the avocado toast—eggs poached perfectly. The Greek yogurt parfait is adorned with pomegranate, berries, a delicious granola and pistachios. Lovely ambiance with nice outdoor seating with heat lamps. Excellent customer service!!

A nice place for parties with friends or family events. The food is good, service is fine, location is good. If you're not a hookah fan, this location's design is better than the ventura one because this one, the smoke never gets into the non-smoking section. The difference is in this location, unlike ventura, you can not bring your alcohol, and the prices are triple. Also, make sure to ask them to bring the main courses at a certain time, otherwise they go with the fcfs order. If you go at 9, you'll get the kebab after 11.

Great place with nice music and tasty food, but the BBQ looked like it was made a few days ago. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning or any effective cooling resources, which made it very uncomfortable.

Service wasn't what our group is used to. The food was ok. Some items better than others. But we had a good time visiting and watched the Persian Armenian community dance.

The food was very good. This is a prefix menu brought out in courses. The only downside is that once it hits 8pm, the music is blaring loud. The music is way too loud to have a conversation. Go hear if you want to dance and party not an enjoyable conversation over dinner.

The good reviews are left by the owner’s friends/family members so dont be fooled. I have been to Terrace in Encino and the food / vibes were great. This place? AWFUL. The food is literally served at the CLOSING time, the plates are not changed so you keep eating in the same plates. There are no servers around so good luck asking for anything. And how do they compensate for all this? By turning up the music. The noise level is enough for a football field. This place is only open so people go once and never go again. For $95 a person, I definitely had higher expectations. Rating : AWFUL / 10. Also have to add there is a creepy man who was taking videos of girls and women , he was sitting by himself at a table so that made us very uncomfortable as a group of women. Be wary and careful specially if you go with a group of women only.

While the courses prepared were immaculate and tasted absolutely divine, I have never left a restaurant so humiliated and snuffed. My partner and I were walking in burbank when we decided to eat here. From the beginning we should have anticipated being treated so poorly. When informed a special event was being offered at $50 per person for a several course meal it was presented in a condescending tone as if we couldn't afford it. Which for dining in LA is very cheap to have several courses, nevertheless we chose to dine there. The energy was lively and seemed like everyone was enjoying themselves. Although the food was delicious, it was nearly impossible to get the attention of our waitress. We would make several attempts to gain her attention and only had two interactions with her through out our dining time which was probably a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes. We did not drink alcohol that evening and when we declined a beverage other than water, our waitress told us we couldn't drink outside alcohol. I explained I only had a bag of knick-knacks purchased from the market down the street. She abruptly cut me off and told me she had to tell everyone that. It was a very odd order to present this information to us if assumptions were not being inferred about us. When it was time to collect the bill we again made several attempts to get our waitress's attention, she ignored us and we decided to go to the maitre'd. I let him know she had been ignoring us the whole evening and we wanted to pay our bill. He ignored my comment, took us into the kitchen entrance and had a security guard stand in front of the staircase to block us from leaving. We were being treated as if we were going to leave without paying. It was embarrassing to stand there with a security guard so close to us, while people watched us to try close out our tab. I was highly offended at being treated in such a manner and would never visit this restaurant again.

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The food was low quality, and the shrimp were undercooked, which is a serious health risk. The service was slow and unprofessional. On top of that, the restaurant was not transparent with pricing. They added gratuity for a party of three, even though their menu clearly states gratuity is only added for parties of six or more. Their advertising and pricing practices feel misleading and deceptive. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Stay away if you want good food, honest pricing, and decent service!

Terrible experience, watered down alcohol, tequila shots are so smooth that you dont feel anything after 3 shots. They should be investigated by consumer protection agency.

It’s very unique restaurant ,I really enjoy be there on any occasion the only things I have concerns about is entertainment is poor Dj always playing some very old songs that really hard to figure out how to dance so please update your music and Dj to play new version of Armenian , Persian, English, latino and other songs instead use the same old fashioned songs , I know you have so many customers besides enjoying their dinner they would be enjoy having great music while using their service , thank you so much and appreciate all your stuff hard work
