Tonir Cafe

Nestled on North San Fernando Boulevard in the heart of Burbank, Tonir Cafe invites diners to savor authentic Mediterranean flavors in a relaxed, family‑owned setting. Since 2011 the restaurant has built a reputation for generous kabob platters, from juicy chicken kebabs and seasoned beef lule to tender lamb chops, each served with fragrant rice, grilled tomatoes, peppers and a selection of house‑made sides such as hummus, tabbouleh, eggplant caviar and sarma. The popular Appetizer Sampler lets guests taste six classic dips and salads, while the Walnut Baklava offers a sweet finish with layers of flaky pastry and honey‑soaked nuts. Interior décor blends warm wood tones with Mediterranean tiles, creating an inviting atmosphere complemented by friendly staff who often share stories about the family recipes passed down through generations. Diners can choose their base—rice, crisp fries or fresh salad—and customize sides, making each meal personal. Prices range from $7 for a single shish kebab to $115 for the family‑style Tonir Plate that feeds four, providing good value for groups and families. The café operates Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 6:45 pm, with weekends closed, and offers ample street parking nearby. Whether you’re a local looking for a quick lunch or a visitor exploring Burbank’s vibrant dining scene, Tonir Cafe delivers hearty Mediterranean comfort, generous portions, and a welcoming vibe that keeps guests returning.
