Mana'eesh Za'atar (with whole wheat flour)

These soft, pillowy wonders are popular in the middle east, and also often consumed for suhoor (meal before starting the fast).

Zaatar Factory & Bakery, 2909 N Glenoaks Blvd, Burbank, CA 91504

Zaatar Factory & Bakery is a traditional Armenian bakery that opened 12 years ago. They have various kinds of bureks, manaeesh, lahmajune, khachapuri, manti, baklava, cookies, etc.

They also carry grocery store items like spices, coffee, condiments, pickles, tea, canned goods, halva, etc. The building looks older. There’s a refrigerator with hummus, desserts, drinks, etc.

Zaatar Cheese Sandwich ($6.99): fresh thin dough wrapped around a thick slab of feta with zaatar. The cheese was too thick.

Spicy cheese burek ($3.99): Thicker than average, flavor was good but it’s too thick

Veggie lahmanjun: finely diced mushrooms, red pepper paste spread on a thin flatbread with crisp edges – a nice alternative to the usual meat based lahmajun

#6 Wrap ($10.69?): It was huge – 14 inches. The manaishe was thicker than I’m used to. It was wrapped around fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and mint. The tomatoes were mealy. The wrap was too dry and heavy.

Prices were not posted on the menu or for the baked goods in the display cases. Online ordering is available. It’s a good idea to order online or call first because some items take awhile to make (like 20 minutes). Parking was easy to find as they’re in a strip mall with parking.
