Came across this place by accident and so glad we stopped. Staff was super friendly. Good was amazing. Tried a few different things. The monta meat was so good. My 3 yr old loved the meat. Soup was yummy. Beoreg was really yummy. Sodas were cane sugar amd delicious

Stopped in here on a whim. We had no idea what a "monta" was... We now know that they are Middle Eastern dumplings known as manti. Each square of dough gets a filling that consists of ground beef, red onion, salt and pepper, then the sides of the manti are folded together. The interconnected dumplings are seasoned with sumac and red pepper before being ripped with spicy pepper paste and/or tangy yogurt-based garlic cream sauce. YUMMY. Please support this small business.

Delicious! Never had monta before - you can think of them as small open-faced potstickers. They're tasty and easy to share meatballs surrounded by phyllo dough. I had the Hungry meal which was good for one person. Then I was invited to a potluck for which the Hangry meal was perfect!

This was a brand new food experience for me. Tried the Monta. Super good! They are tiny pastry rolls with a seasoned meat mixture. (Forgot to ask what kind of meat.) Then add the thin tomato sauce and the super yummy garlic yogurt topping. They have a hungry size and a hangry size thats almost double the size. You can also get Veggie Monta. Also tried the Boereg which is a cheese pastry with pasta like layers. Not really sweet just a cheesy good experience. I used half of it to mop up the rest of the tomato sauce and garlic yogurt topping. Great combination too. The place is super clean and we had great customer service. The guy that helped us was very patient and really explained what everything was. And with a smile on his face. Hard to beat that. Plenty of parking in their lot!

Came in knowing nothing whatsoever. Asked the girl behind the register what i should try and she walked me through everything, super friendly. I got the Monta, had never tried it before. SUPER tasty food, especially with the chili sauce. I’ll definitely be back.

Never had this type of food before but it has a good flavor. Had the small monta and a few different types of dumplings. The sauce with the monta was pretty good.

The best authentic Armenian food I have ever had in the US. I highly recommend trying the Monta, the Monta garlic cream soup, and the meat crepe. Everything else was fantastic too.

I just had my first meal here and not knowing what to expect and wow I was surprised in a good way. The food was excellent and service was great, we were greeted with a smile and the lady was helpful explaining the menu to us. Already saved the plane un favorites.

Monta was pretty good, nice crunch and flavor for a good price. I liked the veggie ones too. Eech was well flavored as well

Original, wonderfully unique items, brought a random group of friends, and everybody loved everything, that is very rare. They have something for everyone, and will make any of the items that are already available in other forms, such as items with me to they can replace with vegetarian options, or sandwiches presented as just salads without the bread. Big slabs of salmon for those that enjoy

Unbelievably delicious Monta (both meat and veg. options)! The garlic soup is divine. All of us went back for a second piece of boereg. Excellent family style dinner.

Came during a birthday party. Lots of kids having a good time. All the food (dumplings, sandwiches and cheese) was outstanding. The hummus was fantastic!

I always love these little treats & the cheese bread!!!! It was the first thing I was craving when I moved back to LA! Thank you for sharing these delicious dishes!!!!

This is Monta’s second location; their original is located in Pasadena. I am so glad they are able to expand towards Glendale because If you are familiar with the location then you know this city is culturally and ethnically diverse with those of Armenian, Iranian and Lebanese decent! With that said their motto is “Better than your grandmas- She’ll agree!” Manti or pronounced as Monta is a Middle Eastern, European dish which consists of seasoned beef in small squares of dough, pinched at the ends, lined in a tray, baked till crisp finally topped off in a tomato and garlic yogurt sauce. I should’ve also ordered the their other special the Su Beoreg, a cheese dish or casserole depends on who you’re asking. But I think this would have paired well with the Monta. I just had lunch but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try something new. I called in advance and the order was ready in 10 mins, I asked for the sauces to be on the side because I wanted to try each ingredient separately prior to adding the sauces to the dish. The Monta was absolutely delightful, crispy on the out side and very flavorful inside. The garlic yogurt sauce was good unfortunately, the tomato sauce was lacked flavor. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to taste like that but it needed some seasoning salt. I personally enjoyed the dish with the sauces on the side, when I added to the Monta it made the dish soggy (But I’m sure that’s the way its originally eaten) nonetheless, I would love to come back and try the Beoreg and the Salmon Sando!

Food is ok. I've been meaning to stop by for so long so when I finally did, I got a lot of of everything. The Monta are just ok. In my opinion there is too much dough around the meat. You can't even taste it, all I could taste was the spices. I also tried the garlic soup and I ended up throwing it away. Tasted like hot yoghurt to me. I decided to try the Monta burger and that was also disappointing. Again, too many herbs and seasonings, couldn't get any flavor from the meat itself. The only thing that I thought was ok was the cheese boreg. Maybe Armenian food isn't for me but I just wasn't a fan of this place.

Went to the Glendale Monta Factory , after seeing this on No Passport Required I wanted to taste the delicious sumptuous pieces Bought the $25 ..platter . What a joke these tiny pieces are not even appetizer sizes! I have never been so disappointed .what a total rip off not worth the price. I will have to ask friends where to buy real they are charging.The yogurt sauce was good the tomatoes sauce was bland as if pour out of the can no flavor ! The lady server was lovely!
