    This place is just amazing! Homemade food made from scratch is always super fresh, extremely delicious and reasonably priced. Worths every penny! Location is clean and makes you feel home. We always get few trays of Monta and Su beoreg to go and the taste never disappoints.

    Staff is very friendly. Sarkes always welcomes customers with a happy attitude. He cares about the customers and also accepts venmo payment for convenience.

    Make sure to try Monta with their yummy spicy tomato sauce and garlic yogurt, as well as Su beoreg. You will be addicted!

    Hot tip for two people or more: get at least one monta plain and the other(s) with whatever sauce (spicy and garlic highly suggested)!

    Such a great cozy restaurant in Pasadena for my yummy monta fix! This place fills my soul with happiness every time I come! Everything is made fresh and made from scratch! I found this gem about 3 years ago and I haven't stopped coming! Looking forward for the upcoming glendale location!

    I came here to grab some food after a long day of building ikea furniture and running errands. the two people running the store were really quick and efficient, they told me what I should get and recommended that if i didnt eat the monta in 10 mins post baking, they would recommend that I get the frozen and make it at home. It was cheaper even! I got the large tray. Having never had monta before, they told me how to make it and their recommendations.

    On to the monta- it comes with garlic and tomato sauce and its these cute little candies of dough with meat in the center. we cooked it and added the sauces on top- it was really delicious. we ate the whole platter. I've had the sue boreng before, but I wouldnt recommend getting both things together unless you are starving, it just becomes too much food.

    They also serve dolmas and are waiting to start serving the other traditional middle eastern spreads (hummus etc). I'll be back monta factory!

    Delicious and convenient. Picked up several trays of manta for dinner because I had heard about their manta being good + I was lazy to cook. Worked out well!! It was so good and so filling. 3 trays fed 6 people. I look forward to trying other items.
