"Monta Factory is a family-run Armenian spot in Glendale that specializes in one thing: monta (also known as manti). These tiny beef-stuffed dumplings are oven-baked until their edges turn a crispy dark brown, and their meat bellies develop a nice crust. Portions here are either big or huge, so bring friends to eat a tray of manti drizzled in spiced tomato sauce and garlic yogurt." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park, andrew ryce
