Phoenicia
Hours: Sun.-Thu., 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11:30 a.m.-1 a.m. Read the complete Times review Readers' rating:  Reader reviews: Write a review | Read other reviews  A belly dancer entertains diners on a Friday night at Phoenicia, a new Lebanese restaurant in Glendale. The restaurant is another Lebanese extravaganza from Ara Kalfayan, whose Glendale restaurant Mandaloun set the standard until he left in 2005. Now he's opened this new place, where his first restaurant, also called Phoenicia and later Kix, used to be. It's some kind of poetic justice that 30 years later the elegant Kalfayan is greeting guests at the same Central Avenue address. He's a consummate host, always ready to explain unfamiliar dishes, to custom pick a selection of meze for someone interested in more than the usual, however delicious, lineup.

Eva C. Glendale, CA I thoroughly enjoyed myself at Phoenicia. The atmosphere was very warm and friendly and management did a great job of providing good service to two very large parties plus numerous other guests. July 21, 2008
David Quinones Atwater, CA This is the worst Middle Eastern restaurant I have ever visited. On Saturdays the cost is $43.00 per person, for parties of 8 or more. This includes a band and a show, neither of which I heard or saw. The cold appetiizers were 40 minutes late were generic fare found at almost any other cheaper middle eastern restaurant. Their flavor was insipid. At 9:40 p.m. I left without having eaten the entree. I paid $86 for 2 people for cold deficiient appetizers. January 14, 2008
