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 the Lahmajo.

We went to Tun Lahmajo as a party for five today for Sunday brunch. None of us have ever dined inside of the restaurant (some have ordered takeout). The ambience is really nice, liked the mostly wooden decor, and the huge ovens were really cool to see those in action. The place smaller very toasty and nice. We ordered tomato omelette, mushroom omelette, small adjarian, spas with ishli, chmur, emergency beef, as well as some bread. It was our first foray into Armenian food and we all really enjoyed it. My personal favorite was probably the emergency beef. I also had some sea buckthorn tea and enjoyed that as well! Looking forward to coming back to this place sometime in the future.

Bottom line,
Food isn't consistent at all
Service is just meh
Extremely overpriced for the food quality and service

I've been here 3 times. Everything i have ordered the same thing and everything the food comes different.
The first time the lamajoon was filled with meat and very good. The khachapouri was filled with cheese and meat.
The other 2 times, lamajoon barely had any meat on it, and the khachapouri felt like it was just eat bread. Barely any cheese or meat.

Service is ok. But if you are seated outside and need something, you basically need to go inside and tell someone.

I think they just need new management.
I would love eating there again but after 3 times I don't think I will be coming back

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just ate at Tum Lahmajo in Burbank — everything was perfect! The food was super tasty, fresh, and full of flavor. The people there are really nice and the place has a great vibe. Definitely coming back again!

I went to the original location in Yerevan and I loved the cozy vibe and the size of the lahmajo. This location in LA gives me a piece of Armenia
