world cafe — Restaurant in Glendale

World Café is a hidden gem in Glendale! This small, clean, and humble shop is run by an Iranian-Armenian owner with years of experience running a sandwich shop in Isfahan, and you can taste that tradition in every bite.

I ordered the beef tongue, roast beef, and hamburger. The beef tongue and roast beef sandwiches were outstanding — authentic in every way, reminding me of the classic Iranian style with fresh parsley and onions. The bread was soft and fresh, and the portions were just right. These sandwiches transported me straight back to Iran.

The hamburger, while decent, had spices (especially turmeric and salt) that slightly overpowered the flavor compared to the other sandwiches. But given how delicious the roast beef and beef tongue were, I’ll absolutely be back to try more of their specialties.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful sandwiches with a touch of...

I absolutely love this place! The owner and staff are always welcoming and friendly. They've introduced new items, and the schnitzel mushroom sauce with fries is a must-try - it's super delicious! The portion was generous, and I couldn't finish it. The Chicken Alfredo Penne is also a winner! With a homemade taste that's hard to resist. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Amazing sandwiches, very tiny store but they make the best sandwiches and sides, at this time we ordered onion rings and it was super yummy, crispy and melt in your mouth, if I could , the owner is super friendly, welcoming and helpful, and their food is like homemade, exactly the taste of motherland, definitely gonna go back and recommend...

This restaurant is owned by an Armenian gentleman who was very famous in Iran for his restaurant, and I have to say, he makes the best sandwiches in the city. The food quality has never gone down over the years, and it has always maintained a high standard. One of my favorite items on the menu is the Iranian-style burger. It’s incredibly delicious, and you won’t find anything like it anywhere else. In fact, all of the food here is really good. I’ve never had a bad experience with anything I’ve ordered, and I would highly recommend it to everyone. You really need to try it to understand how amazing it is.

One thing to note is that parking can be a little difficult in the area, but trust me, it’s worth all...
