"Now THIS is good food. Whenever you’re in LA, I heartily recommend taking a trip to Glendale just to experience top notch Mediterranean eating at an unbelievable price. This is a family owned place where they treat you like a good friend. I was sincerely welcomed by Alan, a caring and wise soul you will remember warmly. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Even the complimentary salad is worth writing home about. Everything is homemade family recipes using quality ingredients, including the hummus and baklava. I had the chicken kabab — it was juicy and cooked to perfection in aromatic herbs — dip it in the fresh garlic sauce to make your eyes roll back. These guys are kings."

"Akkad is only one of a few Iraqi restaurants by name, if not the only one in Los Angeles, with authentic dishes that rival the nearest enclave of Iraqi restaurants in San Diego. You'll find their parking lot in this strip mall to fit the bill for most days, and their hours to be a bit constraining. Most people seem to get their items to go, and they remain busy with mostly to go orders. You will find that they have great traditional eats like luleh (koobideh) kabob, kibbeh of all kinds, lamb quzi, foul, falafel or shawarma. I personally recommend trying a kibbeh whether the hamood one in tomato sauce (it is a special on Fridays) or the Lebanese one in yogurt sauce. Both are fantastic, although they personally don't hit as well as ones I have tried before. I would say it is about 75% there in terms of the flavor profile I was hoping for. If you come early enough and eat there, you will get some fresh Iraqi flatbread which is fantastic with a soup (like an okra stew) or with anything of the sort. Even on its own, it is nice to have such a warm served up bread that is made without preservatives. Most say this is the highlight. I think this is icing on the cake. I would say the service was quite terrible when I was here, and the wait staff didn't care to explain anything nor check on my experience. I would say this isn't the kind of place where you get good service. Rather, you just order the food and wait for it to come, and flag down the wait staff if you need anything. I would also add that the food wasn't as tasty as other Iraqi food places I have tried, but as the only real Iraqi food option in LA, I would go out of my way to support this place. I have had friends come here and enjoy the food, and the majority of reviewers seem to follow suit."

"The double cheeseburger was impressive—one patty was on the top bun and the other on the bottom, with the spread, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles neatly placed between them. It was quite unique (see picture). The onion rings had a thicker batter, giving them a hearty feel, compared to the thin, crispy types that are often served. They also came with a side of Thousand Island dressing instead of ranch, which was a nice touch. I enjoyed my experience at this place, and I’m sure I’ll be back soon."

"we went to their restaurant in playa del rey and eating was amazing, the service was abominable and we wrote an evaluation and they reacted by giving us a gift certificate that we used in the glendale restaurant and we will continue to come back because the service was great the eating was great all there. the restaurant playa delray is also located outside the parking space, which is approximately an angle of 30 degrees from the rear to the front. so every table is slanted downhill, it is really a strange set up and not quite comfortable in the opposite to glendale, which is amazing."

"the service is bad. we have everything you can eat and 4 different people always our orders, but 30 min by no eating. they would bring only a few things and then someone else would ask if we wanted to eat more. I'd tell them we're still waiting for more food. but only for the case would order more items. Of course, half of what we ordered never appeared on the table. I wonder if this is the schnarchy strategy of the chain to save money. that was good. I would recommend this place."
