Sevan Meat Market

You want good meat for your Armenian barbecue, this is the place. Especially their thavar. We always get our meat from here.

I always pick up meat from here to BBQ. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for raw meat. If your going to do it right then go here. The beef kabob, chicken wings, beef luleh and the pork ribs are insanely good.
Try it out. Be your own judge.

This meat market is awesome!!! They even precut my meat like I want to!!! Super clean! Great service!!! I will be lifetime custumer!!!

Came in today, after my armenian friend told him this was the best place to buy kebab style meat. Bought a pound and half of shish beef and half a pound of shish lamb. Also bought eggplant dip and 3 mini skewers. Total came out to 33 something. The meats were both 8.99 p/​lb. Beef was very good. Some of the pieces were uneven sizes, but tasted good. Egg plant was good as well, i thought it was a bit over priced, I believe its either 6.50 or 6.99, but thats the price you gotta pay to get home made quality stuff. Everything was about 4.5 stars, but the lamb was bad. I only got to taste the lamb fat, there was very lil meat. I would describe it as 20% bone, 50% fat and 30% meat. Now I’m not here to bash these guys, because i support small business. However next time i drop in, i will ask for pieces with not much fat. If ends up being another fail. I will just stay away from buying lamb and keep continuing buying beef. Btw none of the butchers spoke english, I would describe it as beginner conversation level. On the other hand, the lady at the register spoke English.

Great of meats that tasting excellent. I recommend anyone looking to do an Armenian BBQ to get their meat here.

Lots of meat

This has to be by far of the the best markets around for fresh meet for BBQ. The marinate they use is fantastic and the meet is always fresh and full of flavor. The prices are really reasonable for what your getting. The staff is super friendly and they really do help you a lot with smiling faces. I’ve been shopping from them for a very long time on a regular bases and I’ve never been disappointed. When we have guests over for bbq, they all enjoy the food as well. No complains! Highly recommended. Parking is small but I usually find a spot.

Thank you Unilocal for directing me to Sevan Meat Market. We’re from Oregon and wanted to do a BBQ for our relatives in the area. After looking on Unilocal,it was apparent that we HAD to go to Sevan Meat Market. We got an assortment of martinated items including pork chops, short ribs, chicken tighs and quail. Everthing was tasty and delicious. I even purchased several of their metal skewers!

I came to this place after a recommendation from several friends. They were right! Really great fresh meat. The place is very clean and the staff are super friendly. Thank you Sevan Meat:)

I’d read the reviews on Unilocal and decided to try this place. When I got home I realized I’d purchased a hunk of expensive fat. Over half the steak was pure suet (fat). The same thing happened to my neighbor. If you’re not a regular customer they will unload their fat on you. I posted a picture of the steak that cost me $ 9. It’s discussing!!! Uneatable.

By far the best place to get either fresh un-​marinated or marinated Armenian/​Persian style BBQ meat in Glendale. The one thing I can always count on is their meat being fresh and consistently tasty. Furthermore, their prices on average are equal or less than comparable meat shops around, so you get great meat at reasonable prices. Keep in mind that they have been in business for a while now and they even opened a second location in Glendale, but this one is the original and best in my opinion.
I recommend you try their marinated lamb luleh kabob among other marinated meats. The only reason I don’t give this place 5 stars is because they close early on Sundays (5:30) and being of middle eastern decent, you know bbq for us is a spur of the moment thing. Therefore, I hope the owner (s) read this suggestion and consider keeping it open to at least 8:00 pm on Sunday.

Clean? Yes. «Helpful», well…
I came in here after trying 3 other supermarket meat departments to get something simple: beef fat. This was to make tallow for my little girl’s California Mission Project (she’s making an authentic artifact: a tallow candle). The big smiling guy in charge didn’t seem to recognize this — maybe his kids go to a private Armenian school (at these prices, he can afford that).
The Jon’s market down the road was more friendly, more helpful, and a LOT cheaper. They would’ve given me the fat for FREE, as they just toss it or someone collects it, but I missed the last cutting and it’d already been thrown away.
These guys? «Special deal for you — only $ 2 a pound!»
Hey, isn’t that great? Would’ve charged me $ 3 a pound for garbage, but only charged me 2!
The meats at Jon’s looked just as good, just as fresh, and a LOT more reasonable (I used to sell meat, a long time ago, so I can tell).

This is the best kabob-​style meat in the land. It’s high quality meat, has a great taste, and is a fair price. We rarely buy kabobs at our favorite restaurants anymore b/​c this place is so amazing.
Also try the eggplant caviar. Best I’ve had anywhere.
Just a terrific, terrific place.

they have the best meat ever! anytime we bbq we go here for the meat, even now that we moved to palmdale we still make the drive to sevan meat.

Great butcher! We drive miles out of our way to go to Sevan Meat Market and it is well worth it. First thing you notice is how clean it is compared to most other markets; love the fact that the guys handling the meat don’t handle the money, they have one person dedicated to that. It is very well staffed always and I’ve never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for service. Plenty of parking another bonus. Would recommend anything from this butcher, but LOVE the lule, both chicken and beef!

This place is great! I’m not Armenian, or middle eastern, and have never tried cookling kabobs before; except for the pre-​skewered kind at a conventional grocery store. The butchers here are so helpful, they showed me how to prepare each of the different types of meat, how to skewer them, cooking time, etc. The price is very reasonable for very fresh meats. The shop also sells all of the accesories you need to make authentic kabobs like skewers and grilling items. They sell pita, side dishes including humus, relishes, and the most delicious yogurt sauce i’ve ever tasted. I’ve tried the beef shish kabob, chicken kabob, pork loin, and the ground beef and ground chicken. The ground meats are incredible, the butcher showed me the way to skewer them so they come out like sausage that you get in restaurants. I can’t wait to try the ribs, lamb, and pork chops. I can’t say enough about this place, i’m addicted to grilling out now and it’s a great way to entertain and impress guests.

Easily the greatest kabob butcher in Glendale. Having tried myriad meat grocers (Pacific Food, Paradise Pastry, Foothill Food Mart, Dvin, Sipan, and a whole host of Armenian grocers) nothing even comes close. I usually get the marinated beef and lamb, but can vouch for the pork chops, pork fillet, pork ribs (kabob style), mini chicken wings/​drums, boneless chicken thigh, lule (beef and chicken) and liver.
I’ve known about this place since November 2005; I refuse to buy kabob meat from anywhere else. Their kabob beats any kabob restaurant I’ve been to (On the presumption that you cook it right).
