Gourgen’s Catering

Gourgen’s catering is the best in the business! Greatest consultation experience, service, and food! We used Gourgen’s Catering years ago and they have catered every single one of our events ever since. If you are throwing an event stop what you’re doing and call them! They’re the pros and they will walk you through how to throw the greatest event with the greatest food.

One of my closest and dearest friends threw a birthday party for her daughter with almost 70 guests. Gourgen’s catering served an amazing spread of different appetizers and main courses that were delicious and classy! And the portions were huge too! Not only was the food good, but his staff worked very hard to make sure every one was happy. And we were! Great, polite and sweet catering staff and amazing food. It doesn’t get better than that!

We ordered food from this place for 10 people. Our order consist of ‘Mosamma’ (eggplant stew), ‘Jarko’ (similar to Roast Beef), Roasted potatoes and White Rice.
Size: The amount of food we got was HUGE that only ¼th of the food was gone which is a good thing cause we had lots of leftovers: D.
Taste: This is a kind of food we grew up with so let me tell you they were one of the most delicious Persian-​Armenian food I’ve ever had in my life. We got so many compliments from our guests and they all asked for the name and address of this place.
I’ll definitely go back for our next party as I am so looking forward to try other food in their menu. They also have some of their items pre-​packaged in small containers which is actually a good way to try their food.

Their food was great. .. Great taste and quality and biiiiiiiiiiiiiig portions. We had more than 40 guests and everybody ate, and we still have some left !!! All that for a great price, almost half the price what we were initially going to pay to a restaurant which wouldn’t even deliver !!! Everything was good but their Fesenjoon (pomegranate stew) was the best. Shirin Polo (sweet rice — Rice, pistachio, almond, Orange slices) was awesome … I have never personally met these people but one thing i can tell is that they know what they are doing. Fair price, on time delivery, great food … Thank you

Best catering service for all your occasion needs. My wedding was catered by Gourgen and was amazing — I highly recommend!

I found out about this place through a fiend. He told me that their food is amazing and they’re great for catering, so I called them to make an order for a party of 20 people. This guy by the name George picked up the phone. He was extremely rude and he acted like he doesn’t give a shit about my order and he doesn’t need my business. I asked him what appetizers they had and he said it really really fast. I asked him if he could repeat the list so that I can write it down and make a decision. He was like, why don’t you tell me what want. I was like sir, I don’t know what I want just please tell me what you have and I’ll make an order. He was like, NO you have to come here in person and decide what you want. I was like, sir I live far away and I can’t do that. Can you please just tell me what you have? Anyways, at the end he was like, I don’t want your business. You’re giving me a hard time.
Mr. George, I’m not going to give you my business and I’ll make sure that nobody in my community gives you business. You should go work in the kitchen if you are not a polite person and you don’t know how to treat your customer.

If you haven’t had their food yet then your missing out.
The food here is so bomb. I can’t even begin to describe the deliciousness that takes place in my mouth every time I eat their food. I’ve ordered from them before and just always thought I had reviewed them. Well on Sunday I had 12 people over for dinner. I work All week and Saturdays so there was no way I could get the house ready and cook. No worry because I know I can always count on these guys to deliver. We ordered beef lule kebab, chicken kebab and fillet pieces. We ordered eegra and two salads. By the way no one beats their igra. Like for real. No one. Everything was so good. One honorable mention was how small the salad shirazi was chopped. As a kid I remember getting mad at my mom if I bit into a big chunk of onion. Well not here. Everything was well prepared, down to the last detail. The best part is the price. You really can’t beat that with the quality of food your getting.
By the way did I mention I live all the way in lake balboa? Yea I would rather drive 30 minutes to Glendale and 30 minutes back to get the best then drive somewhere close for less. They made sure to cook the food so it was super fresh And pack it in a way so it stayed hot til it got to my house.
I’m soooooo happy. Food was sooooo good.
End of story.

Great service and food!!! I used them for my wedding at the brides house in the morning. They were prompt, efficient, organized and their food tasted great!!!
Compared to competitors, their prices were reasonable.

I have been coming here ever since they first opened the store and they continue to amaze me with their professional and friendly customer service! Their catering events are impressive and they never fail to serve quality food!!! Also, their kabob is always satisfying and fulfilling, followed by a variety of different dishes! They serve nothing but the best food in town and if I were you I would definitely check them out! :)

They have great customer service here. Their food is always fresh and I enjoy everything I’ve had. If you’re in need of a catering company that has amazing customer service and serves the best kebabs in town, call Gourgens!

I could say that their food is very fresh & tasty. We have tried their food at different times & the consistency is always there. I will recommend Gourgen’s catering for your next party, get together, etc.

Great quality food and fantastic tasting also. They have the best service from all the catering services that I have experienced. Highly recommend them

Love this place for ready-​to-​go Iranian homemade dishes, which I love, but can’t cook. Sorry Mom!
I have to admit it’s a little on the pricey side, but I’m compensating for lost time.

We contacted Gourgen’s Catering for a work event we were having with 150+ attendees. They were quick to respond to phone calls and were very easy to work with. They came early to the event to prepare the food, and the table itself was beautifully decorated.
The chicken and shrimp skewers literally melted in your mouth! So delicious! The small sandwiches were also very good along with the little wraps. The waiters passing around the food were extremely nice and even fun to chit chat with. I appreciated that they enjoyed what they were doing. We hope to plan something with them again!

Great food, and friendly staff. I live next door to this place, and I recommend Gourgen’s Catering for their excellent food and decent prices. The chicken kabob is really tasty. It’s my favorite.

Simply Elegant. For the décor and staging, what Gourgen created, reflected my taste and vision for our housewarming party last week.

The appetizers were out of this world, (I storngly recommend the beef satti), the cheese buffet looked gorgeous and the cheese selection was delicious.
The main entrees were scrumptious and the deserts were light and mouthwatering.
We were really impressed, by all the staff members, for an extremely professional
service.
It felt as if I was a guest at my own party … I did not have to lift a finger and
enjoyed a memorable evening.
All my guests were wowed by the quality food you served that night.
Thank you for making our evening a hit. You certainly surpassed our expectations.
Sincerely
Anahit H.

This place is DELICIOUS! Awesome eggplant dip and what I think is salad olivieh? It’s like a potato/​egg/​chicken salad which has tons of flavor.

Gourgen and his company has catered many events for our family over the years (rehearsal dinners, baby showers, birthday parties) and his food is always top notch. His service is also outstanding. His staff is very professional and hard working. We have always received compliments from our guests about the food and service at our parties.

Incredible food. The best middle eastern food around.

So this guy decided to open his own business after working in the catering for 10 years. My stomach thanks him for it.
This place has the best Persian food in Glendale. Kabob is only for starters, he offers stews (the good ones like Gorme and Fesenjan), Dolma, etc; anything you can think of as being Persian this guy has or can make.
His meals are incredibly healthy, using a very minimal amount of butter, and his prices are really reasonable. The TLC he puts in each order is unrivaled by any other Kabob joint on Glenoaks.
On a side note, this place is take out only so no dinning in for you!
