Monta Factory

Originally from Pasadena, this Glendale eatery specializes in monta—tiny Armenian dumplings filled with beef or a vegetarian-friendly lentil mix and served with yogurt. While Monta Factory is in a part of town full of great Armenian dining options, you’d be hard pressed to find better monta anywhere else—and trust us, once you try these, you’ll want to have them again real soon. Order the little beauties by the tray or served in tomato soup, and save room for some beoregs—cheese-filled squares of phyllo dough which you can order by the tray as well.
