Garni Meat Market - Pasadena

Amazing food and service: The staff is courteous, friendly, and extremely helpful. The marinated meats (take home to self-cook) are all delicious.. The garlic spread/sauce is the best, period.

I drove by this place and it caught my eye and came back the next day to explore. Right away when I walked in, another client was going on about all of the delicious items they offer she recommended the marinated chicken thighs and apparently you can always put an order ahead of time to have them cook it up for you as well. The owner was so very sweet and knowledgeable you definitely need to chat with him to get all the info on everything he offers. I ended up taking home marinated chicken thighs and some chicken Luleh meat to cook at home, a box of Kosher salt and a small container of a sauce that I hadn't seen before called Adjika. He explained to me that it's roasted veggies blended together and that it's very tasty. He was not kidding. The adjika was so delicious and powerful tasting he said it's great for sandwiches I ended up using it to dress a bean salad. The reviews are spot on about this place it's a great neighborhood spot with an owner that is passionate about the quality and taste of his food.

How can you shop somewhere where they have hate against other nationalities!

I bought some marinated beef and chicken. 1st time here and randomly walked in- the beef was amazing!! so soft and delicious, I froze the chicken- will definitely return as the whole family loved it.

Have now been to Garni twice...and will keep going. I am not a good cook Garni makes me look like I know what I'm doing! The meats I've cooked from there have been really tasty and I don't have to worry about it guests have all complimented the food. The prices are very reasonable and the people there are so friendly and helpful (I have to admit to first trying a shop down the street...not a good experience for selection or friendliness...never going anywhere but Garni again! Also now a fan of their hummus and baba ganoush you can't go wrong with Garni!
