Tun Lahmajo — Restaurant in Burbank

*Delayed post from June ‘25

Tun Lahamajo is a great date night spot for foodies and vibes in general. While there were a few hiccups during our visit, I still recommend trying it out. Before the pandemic, this was a pizza place that has since been taken over by a new owner establishing a second location for a well-known eatery in Glendale with the same name. The outdoor seating was updated to offer more parking spaces, while continuing to provide an intimate space filled with warm wood textures, string lights, and lots of greenery. The inside is also well decorated with an old charm to it and more seating for larger parties.

It took a while to be waited on in the beginning, but the food came out rather quickly and in waves that allowed for grazing without our food getting cold. My only major gripe is that they don’t serve tap water. I’d read other reviews that said this and assumed it must have been a temporary issue, but it seems like the owners don’t trust the Burbank water system, which sounds like a legal issue… but maybe they can clarify with a response as to why they don’t offer it? I’d recommend bringing our own water bottle if necessary, or try their citrusy, Sea Buckthorn unsweet tea that comes in a large pot enough for two. Thankfully they do offer their dishes on reusable dishware for those who are looking for a waste conscious dining option.

This was my first time trying Lahmajo, an Armenian style flatbread that’s thin and crispy, with a little bit of doughiness in the middle and burnt edges that come with baking in a stone oven. The ground beef smeared over the top reminded me of minced sausage with aromatic seasoning similar to fennel. They serve it with a wedge of lemon and the acidity pairs extremely well with the flavors. There is a cheese option, but we went without since we also ordered the Adjarian, similar to an Indian kachapuri, which features large amounts of cheese and an egg in a buttery bread boat. My only criticism with this dish is it needs more seasoning and spice, something like sriracha or spicy peppercorn and a hint of acidity, to break up the large amount of fat and bread.

Lastly we ordered the Ker u sus, which reminded me of beef stew in the best way, but with less broth and more sauce. Beef chunks are accompanied by potatoes, sweet peppers, peas, and carrots in a thick tomato sauce. The potatoes are more like fries and are slightly undercooked to give it a bite. The fresh parsley on top pairs really well as expected and we ate it by scooping it up with...

I absolutely recommend this place, especially for family and group dining. Great dining experience is guaranteed for thosr who want to taste Armenian kitchen. You can find some Georgian dishes as well. We walked in for lahmajo and first time in US I found lahmajo I was looking for. The cheese one is amaizing. The meat with special seasoning and the texture of daugh, the level of crispiness were well balanced. Beautiful interior and very warm atmosphere. It was obvious that every corner of this restaurant was planned and designed with love and attantion to details. Great and prompt service. Clean. Warm welcone, friendly and customer oriented approach to ordering. Special thanks to manager Gegham. Outdoor patio seating is also available. Nice and festive Christmas decorations created that special mood. Decent pricing for that type of quality food and overall service. Soon will go back to try more dishes with friends. From now on this place is on my recommendations list and where I will take my homesick friends visiting LA from other states. 5 starts for...

We have been loyal customers of Tun Lahmajo since their very first location in the heart of Yerevan, Armenia. Their authentic flavors and warm atmosphere left a lasting impression on us, and now, with their location in Burbank, they have brought that same experience to the USA. The kitchen maintains the same exceptional quality, serving perfectly made lahmajo with the rich, traditional taste of Armenia. But the experience doesn’t stop there—their menu also features a variety of delicious appetizers and dishes that truly complete the meal. From fresh summer salad and flavorful pickled vegetables to cheese lahmajo, chmur, Adjarian, and Temur …., every dish is prepared with the same dedication to authenticity. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, making you feel like a guest in a welcoming Armenian home rather than just a customer. If you want to experience the real taste and atmosphere of Armenia, Tun Lahmajo is the place to be. Highly...
