Authentic Armenian lahmajo and baked goods served fresh
"This family-owned Armenian restaurant in Burbank bakes all of its bread dishes to order in two blazing ovens commanded by a person in a white hat. The adjarian with orange yolks peeking through salty cheese is good to share, but meat-heavy lahmajo is so light that tearing into one solo with a tiny but potent Armenian coffee is the perfect snack. The menu doesn’t provide any dish descriptions, so if you aren’t as familiar with Armenian food, just trust us when we say everything that leaves their twin kilns is delicious." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Tun Lahmajo, a family-owned Armenian spot in Burbank—and the second location of a restaurant in Yerevan—is an ideal place to slip into bread-induced hypnosis. It’s small, cozy, and resembles a log cabin with its gas lamp sconces and wooden beams. Most evenings you’ll see families sharing hot tea and tearing into things hot and fresh from the kitchen’s big dome ovens. Follow their lead. We love the cheesy adjarian (a.k.a khachapuri) crowned with a runny golden egg yolk, the crispy foot-wide lamajun spackled with spiced beef, and the pan-fried blinchik with a fat dollop of sour cream. If you need something to balance all the spectacular carbs, get the generously salted lamb ribs, seared on a ripping hot grill until pink and juicy in the center." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, sylvio martins, sylvio
"The lahmajo at this casual Armenian restaurant in Burbank are so light they might blow away from a gentle breeze on the outdoor patio. OK, maybe not, but these 12-inch flatbreads are delicate enough to inhale before you finish a tiny Armenian coffee. They arrive still warm from the oven, and the finely minced beef is juicy and full of tomato-y tartness, hugging the crust’s big air bubbles. Most people order a lahmajo for themselves, but we like it as the centerpiece to a big family-style lunch." - sylvio martins, andrew ryce, brant cox, cathy park

"The general Burbank-Glendale area is blessed with many great Armenian bakeries, but Tun Lahmajo does hot, sexy bread like few places can. This family-owned spot in Burbank with a second location in Yerevan bakes everything—including cheesy adjarian with orange yolks in the center—to order in two blazing ovens. You'll drink tea under fake vineyards on their patio and eat lahmajo so thin it cooked faster than Mr. Clean’s scalp at the beach." - brant cox, sylvio martins
