Strangely the Zankou web site, doesn't list the original restaurant, which is in a little strip mall at the corner of Normandie and Sunset. If you like roasted chicken, you can't beat this place. The chicken is so moist, it just comes apart with a touch, and the garlic sauce is to die for. The menu is short and easy, and this one has more items than the rest. You really can't beat this place for some good chicken.



Zankou Chicken is inexpensive and fast. If it is just me I get a half of a chicken (with a pita and garlic sauce) and a falafel plate and mix the two together and make an awesome pita combination with hummus and pickled vegetables that are just divine. This place is quick and easy, and every time i eat their I wonder why I don't eat there more!!




They have excellent pickled beets, and sometimes I get a whole extra order of them to go with my meal, as they go wonderfully in a pita with chicken falafel, tahini, humus and some veggies.

And how much fun is it getting a chicken in a bag to go?


THIS IS THE BEST ZANKOU BECAUSE THE CHICKEN IS SO DAMN MOIST. If you make a sandwich with pita bread, fallafel, the garlic sauce, some hummus, that super moist chicken, and the pickled beats, you make damn near the best sandwich you have ever had. Delicious. I can't belive how good this place is!


Actually I think I was turned on to this place by my former friend Maggie W. Lee.
