Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Armenian communities outside of Armenia — and the food scene reflects it.

SupportArmenian connects you with Armenian-owned restaurants and cafes throughout Glendale, Burbank, North Hollywood, and greater Los Angeles.
Whether you're craving authentic Armenian cuisine — lahmajune, mante, zhengyalov hatz — or looking for a cozy Armenian-owned coffee shop, this directory brings together the best of Armenian food culture in one place.
From classics like Carousel Restaurant and Marouch to neighborhood gems and newcomers, Armenian restaurants in Los Angeles serve up generations of culinary tradition — grilled meats, fresh herbs, house-baked bread, and warm hospitality that make every meal feel like home.
The Armenian cafe scene in Glendale and Los Angeles is thriving — from specialty roasters and pour-over bars to cozy neighborhood spots. Armenian-owned coffee shops bring community, craft, and culture together over every cup.
Restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, bakeries and food trucks, from khorovats and kebab houses to breakfast spots and juice bars. The directory currently lists 164 businesses, each with contact details, services and location. Listings are submitted and maintained by the business owners themselves, so what you see here is first-hand rather than scraped.
Glendale has the most at 34, followed by Yerevan (34), Los Angeles (17), Burbank (15), Sherman Oaks (7), Fresno (5). Southern California holds the bulk of the Armenian diaspora, so Glendale, Burbank and the San Fernando Valley recur throughout the directory, but listings outside California and in Armenia are included wherever members have added them.
Being able to explain what you need in Armenian, to a person who already understands the context, removes a lot of friction. It also keeps money inside a community that largely rebuilt itself from nothing twice over. Every listing here is either Armenian-owned or Armenian-serving, and owners can claim and update their own page.
