Ani Banquet Hall

I went there after a funeral. The food was good and plentiful. The service was great too. What i liked about this place as opposed to a restaurant is that they don’t try to kick you out. Don’t ever have your receptions at restaurants because they want to get you out asap so they can make room for others. One restaurant said they would only give two hours. The only minor problem is you can’t see this from the street. It is in the back on the second floor.

I had my 21^st birthday party here with a little over 110 guests. We fit in their perfectly and still had space for 5 – 6 more tables. My guests had an amazing time and 60% of that has to be due to the location. Ani’s food is by far the BEST I’ve ever had. The waiting staff was also amazing! Everything was clean, nice, and designed perfectly. I especially love the LED lights they have running up and down the hall! I recommend any event to be held at Ani or even if you’re hosting a house party any need of food to be catered from Ani!

DO NOT HAVE YOUR EVENT HERE!!!
I made the HUGE mistake of having my engagement party here. For religious reasons, I had to cater my own food so all he was providing me was 1) the venue 2) service and 3) tables/​chairs/​utensils. At the time we paid our deposit he promised us that there would be at least 2 servers during my engagement party. Furthermore, he charged us $ 45 per person WITHOUT FOOD! I was desperate because it was close to my engagement day and all the other venues were already booked. So I had no other choice but to cough up the money.
Come engagement day, there was NOT 1 server there. My own family and relatives had to serve themselves. It was sooooo embarassing!!! To make matters worse there was NOBODY handing out drinks. My poor aunt had to cut the cake and my uncles had to hand it out to the guests. OH and they used their hands to cut the cake because Ani Banquet hall didn’t have anyone to provide a knife or anything. It was such a NIGHTMARE!
Please do yourself a favor and do NOT have your event here! He’s a liar and I guarantee that all the positive reviews on here are his family and/​or friends!!!

PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE! THEY ARE EVIL MONEY HUNGRY CROOKS! THIS PLACE RUINED MY WEDDING!
I wish I could give them –1000 stars!
Me and my now husband were looking to have a wedding without going backrupt. We found this little place. We called a bunch of times throughout the day and no answer so we decided to just go. When we walked in the were VERY rude! But I instantly loved the place! It was very pretty with lights and glitter, beautiful set up and chairs. I just knew this was the place I wanted to have my special day. The owner called us into the back room to ask questions. He was first very rude as well and acted very bothered that we were there but once he saw we were interested and had money ready his attitude changed real quick. We asked him all we needed to know and liked everything he was saying. So we decided to go ahead and book it. We made up a contract for 6 to 1am (we both have party animal families). Out of curiosity I asked would it be ok if we had our ceremony there as well at 4 and for the reception to start the ceremony. I even offered to pay extra for the extra time and his EXACT WORDS were «well the wedding is on a Friday and we have nothing planned that day other then your wedding so go ahead and do the reception first with no extra charge». This was amazing news to us! We were so impressed with this place I was bragging to all my family and friends telling them they have to go here for there events. It was turning out to be my true fairy tale wedding!!! We booked the photographer and dj and videographer and bartender to be there according to the time we agreed with the place so paid extra for them to be there until 1. When we went back to make another payment my grandma and mom and fiancé went with me because we had a few more questions. Our guest list was looking pretty full so my grandma who was helping pay asked about how we pay for extra people and also how we pay for the workers we hired to eat. He said we play per person for all the extra people who come and $ 10 per worker which was not a problem at all. My mom who could not believe this place was so awesome made sure of everything including to make sure it was ok to have the ceremony there still. The man said yes it’s fine! I had over 4 witnesses at this point who all heard this verbal agreement. One guy asked me to leave a good Unilocal review which I imagine he asked everyone else whos left one but I like to leave honest reviews and said I would gladly leave a review after the event.
So if this place was so amazing, why did you say «dont come here» you ask?
My big day comes, im getting ready to leave to the venue where my future husband and guest are showing up. I am thrilled, excited, nervous, every emotion a girl about to get married should feel. Nothing can ruin my happiness until, I get the phone call. My fiancé calls and tells me the guy we have been talking to the entire time is denying EVERYTHING he said! He is telling us that if we have the ceremony at 4 we have to leave at 1130! After I wrote on the invatations it ends at 1 am and paid all the workers to be there until 1 and signed contracts with these people! At this point all my guests are there and they are not letting my guests in, keeping them outside burning in the hot sun. My fiancé and grandma were inside telling them this is wrong and we had an agreement! They tell my fiancé unless he signs a brand new contract that says 4 to 1130 he will not let anyone in! Also I later find out the next day that they forced my grandma to pay for 10 extra people to which we had no extra guest come at all, not even one extra person! But they made her pay $ 350 plus $ 80 for the workers to eat on top of the almost $ 4000 we already paid for the venue alone. He tells my grandma if she doesn’t pay no guests can come in. I start crying in my fresh wedding make up which I just paid 60 to get done and everyone is trying to a calm me down. I figure what can I really do at this point except voice my opinion since it was a verbal agreement but once I see the kind of evil people I’m dealing with I decide to shut my mouth until the end so they don’t ruin my wedding even more. My wedding came out beautiful thanks to my family and wedding planner! It was fun and a hit! It was amazing to marry the love of my life! I didn’t let it get to me until the 1130 when me and my mom, who didn’t know until that moment what they had done, decided it was time to give this guy a piece of our mind. We followed the guy around telling him how wrong he was and how his place is a scam and how we were going to warn every review website out there about this joke of a place with evil men working there. I was crying my eyes out in my wedding dress telling this guy how he ruined my special day and all he did was ignore us and walk away. Didnt even deny it. I would advise anyone with a special event to stay away from this horrible place! I don’t wat anyone going through what I did!

Just had my graduation party at Ani banquet hall this past weekend. I can honestly say that we were provided with the most outstanding service ever! Great food and atmosphere. All my guests were also very satisfied! Thank you Ani banquet hall for a very fun and memorable evening!

We had my parents golden anniversary @ Ani. Great experience. Very nice staff and management. Good food, reasonable price, nice in house decoration, etc. excellent choice for medium size parties and events. Not my first time being there, I have attended several times for bridal shower, baby shower/​welcome, sweet 16… always had good experience. Two thumbs up.

We just had our wedding at Ani on February 7^th 2015. We loved it! We had 170 guests and they definitely arranged the tables beautifully and comfortably. The food was amazing! My husband and I loved it! The day after the wedding many of our guests called to congratulate and compliment the beautiful hall and the amazing food. I do not eat salmon, but my husband and many of our guests could not stop talking about it. We really enjoyed the kabobs and the other food as well! If you’re looking for a place for a small and intimate wedding or any other event then we highly recommend Ani! The hall itself has recently been beautifully remodeled so we happened to get it at the right time. Karen was a very good man, and he helped us with all our questions and needs. My husband is already talking about having more of our events here. We give them 5 stars!

Ive been here 5+ times and i loveee this place. Food is amazing, the place is amazing. They just remodeled the place and it looks amazing. Will recommend this place :)))

I also booked my graduation party at Ani Banquet Hall… The owner came in on his day off just to accommodate us. He was extremely friendly and respectful to our needs… He altered the menu so that we wouldn’t pay more than we had to for food which I thought was an extremely kind gesture since now days everyone thinks about benefitting their pocket first. The banquet hall was clean and newly renovated. I highly recommend this place because they truly are amazing.

I was invited to my friends b-​day party few weeks ago and I really liked the place. The food was amazing. The décor was very cozy and nice… The working staff was very nice and professional… I will recommend this place to everyone. I will definitely do my future events here.

This is the first time I was at this hall and Meh I’ve been to better small banquet halls that compare to this one. I was a guest at an event that was hosted here. The hall itself is ok, some restaurants look much more hip these days. The tablecloths and napkins are made of the same material (matching on purpose?). Food was OK too. Unfortunately the appetizers they had were not the best. Shrimp in the so called cocktail sauce was very rubbery, salads stale and no taste to them. Bbq itself — Meh, I only liked the chicken lule. Dunno how they plan to fit 220 ppl but I say for 150 it’s a good space. I’d probably never host an event here myself. Waiting staff walks around looking all pissed off…

Me and my Fiancé went to check this place on our wedding reception, it is upstairs, the ceiling is low and although they say they can fit 220 people it seems super tiny.:/ I hated the menu that they had but they are really cheap, one of the cheapest places that I have seen so far but it wasn’t for us. The pictures are accurate though. Probably really good for a small wedding reception :)

Great food and environment. Especially for the price. Garland will give you a great deal. Our guests definitely did not go home hungry. This is the only event I’ve hosted where the banquet hall gave us leftover food at the end. They gave us 2 trays of meat we were still eating days after the event. Great venue to host a party. Highly recommended.

Love the food love the environment great place to have a party

My Brother just got married. and this is the next day. i find myself in a hotel room, in Glendale, still clad with the same cheesy Tuxedo i wore the night before. as the fog begins to clear, i am relieved to see that i am indeed alone. phew! scenes of the past night are flashing through my mind like a montage of clips from «Wedding Crashers». at one point i think i may have danced «the freak» with the brides 58 year old mother.
a lot must be said about the people who run this place. when my brothers future bride told me about the deal they got, i was extremely skeptical. there was no way it was gonna be good considering the low price she paid. she assured me that it was going to be nice. on the wedding day, i was running errands with my bro, and we had to drop off the beer kegs to the hall. we parked in the lot, and loaded the kegs into the elevator. when the elevator opened, i was shocked to see that the upstairs hall was actually very nice. the décor was subtle but looked well done. the tables were nice, and the room didnt seem overcrowded. we made our way into the kitchen where we met a few of the cooks. they were very nice, and seemed eager to help. we loaded the kegs into the walk-​in fridge, and went on our way. i have to say, that kitchen smelled fantastic! later that night, after the actual Funeral, i mean, Wedding. we made our entrance, and got the party started. there were plenty of appetizers all over the tables, and lots of bread, along with some delicious spanikopita. a Green Salad was served, which was fresh, and crisp. then they brought out some big crinkle-​cut potatoes that were absolutely amazing. the whole time, the waitstaff kept the pitchers of beer at full capacity. these guys were on the spot with the re-​fills. i have to divulge this, by the time the main course arrived, i was about 3 pitchers, and 4 Tequila shots deep. but i do recall the basmati rice being cooked perfectly. the meats were delicious, and the chicken was a highlight. there was soo much food everywhere.
the DJ did his thing, and we danced the night away. there is no such thing as a Mexican wedding without at least one fight. well this one had two. there was a very cool, and calm security guard outside who did his job very well. all in all my brother and his new bride had an amazing night, everyone was filled up to the top with food, and the beer flowed as if there was an endless supply. i even caught a few of the waiters gettin «Jiggy» with us, and enjoying themselves. thumbs up folks! now, where the hell are my shoes? and why is my vest on backwards?

It’s really cheaper than the other Armenian banquet halls. Very good if you’re hosting the party.
The food is similar to other Armenian banquet halls and there is sufficient food… everyone got full!
Very accomodating. Very presentable.
Not a lot of restrictions. The owner is flexible… as long as he gets paid, he’s good.
I gave it a 3 star despite the glowing review i just gave coz the food is not exceptional. All the other Armenian restaurants/​banquet halls would have the same food.
The décor is not that exceptional either: though it is nice, other Armenian banquet halls are more ostentatious… if you like your banquet halls ostentatious…
