Monta Factory

First time eating monta. It's delicious! The people are all Wonderful too. I just wish it were closer to home! We will definitely go out of our way to return as often as possible.

Never had this type of food before but it has a good flavor. Had the small monta and a few different types of dumplings. The sauce with the monta was pretty good.

This is Monta’s second location; their original is located in Pasadena. I am so glad they are able to expand towards Glendale because If you are familiar with the location then you know this city is culturally and ethnically diverse with those of Armenian, Iranian and Lebanese decent! With that said their motto is “Better than your grandmas- She’ll agree!” Manti or pronounced as Monta is a Middle Eastern, European dish which consists of seasoned beef in small squares of dough, pinched at the ends, lined in a tray, baked till crisp finally topped off in a tomato and garlic yogurt sauce. I should’ve also ordered the their other special the Su Beoreg, a cheese dish or casserole depends on who you’re asking. But I think this would have paired well with the Monta. I just had lunch but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try something new. I called in advance and the order was ready in 10 mins, I asked for the sauces to be on the side because I wanted to try each ingredient separately prior to adding the sauces to the dish. The Monta was absolutely delightful, crispy on the out side and very flavorful inside. The garlic yogurt sauce was good unfortunately, the tomato sauce was lacked flavor. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to taste like that but it needed some seasoning salt. I personally enjoyed the dish with the sauces on the side, when I added to the Monta it made the dish soggy (But I’m sure that’s the way its originally eaten) nonetheless, I would love to come back and try the Beoreg and the Salmon Sando!

Food is ok. I've been meaning to stop by for so long so when I finally did, I got a lot of of everything. The Monta are just ok. In my opinion there is too much dough around the meat. You can't even taste it, all I could taste was the spices. I also tried the garlic soup and I ended up throwing it away. Tasted like hot yoghurt to me. I decided to try the Monta burger and that was also disappointing. Again, too many herbs and seasonings, couldn't get any flavor from the meat itself. The only thing that I thought was ok was the cheese boreg. Maybe Armenian food isn't for me but I just wasn't a fan of this place.

This place has a bunch of tasty meals, from sandwiches to monte. Reviewing the chicken sandwich, which is very good. Ciabatta bread and ingredients used are fresh and has nice garlic paste to it. Very filling, quality sandwich. I’d come here for the monta - their namesake. Had some of their monte for dinner and the monte was very tasty. 5/5 for dinner. If you are looking for a quick monte for dinner, come get it from here.
