"From breakups to Slack-related embarrassments, for years, this family-run Armenian restaurant in Studio City has been our go-to for all of our bad days. So yeah, we’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. But rest assured that there’s still a way to feel comfort, via mouthfuls of dolma, plates of sizzling, hot feta, and mantee, boat-shaped ravioli filled with ground beef and topped with yogurt, their namesake dish. Available for takeout and delivery, call (818) 761-6565 or find them on the apps." - kat hong
"This family-run Armenian spot in Studio City has fantastic food and a room that feels like you’re eating inside your cool aunt’s one-bedroom apartment. As its name suggests, mantee is the specialty here, and while the sumac- and yogurt-covered dumpling dish is among our favorite versions in town, don’t leave until both the dolma and sizzling hot feta have made it onto the table as well." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Mantee is one of our favorite Armenian restaurants in LA. The family-run spot has a tchotchke-filled interior that feels like you’re eating lunch at a friend’s aunt’s house in Ojai. If there’s space, though, sit on the back patio. With green vines and string lights hanging overhead, the lush space feels worlds away from the noisy traffic on Ventura Blvd. As the name suggests, mantee is the specialty here: the sumac- and yogurt-covered dumplings are most popular, but the dolma and sizzling hot feta are equally worthwhile." - brant cox
"Against your best judgment, you agreed to feed your boss’s three clownfish while she was away on vacation, and you just found them all floating at the top of the tank. Take a deep breath and go to Mantee immediately. This family-run Armenian restaurant in Studio City makes incredible food across its menu, but the namesake mantee topped with garlic yogurt sauce, dolma, and sizzling hot feta should all be priorities. There’s also a hidden back patio that’s great for calming your nerves and Googling the nearest fish store." - brant cox
"We absolutely love this family-run spot on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City. As its name suggests, mantee is the specialty here, and while the sumac and yogurt-covered dumpling dish is among our favorite versions in town, don’t even think about hitting the checkout button until both the dolma and sizzling hot feta have made it onto your order as well." - brant cox, sylvio martins
