III Mas Bakery & Deli

I got the basturma brisket, all I got to say is omg!! It’s so unique and different 10/10

I was completely blown away by these sandwiches !!! We ordered one of each and both were soooo delicious. The brisket in the basturma sandwich was epic ! They could teach Texas BBQ’ers a thing or two. The bread on the sandwiches was perfect too. Reminded me of a rustic soft bread in the shape of pita. The ingredients in both sandwiches complemented them perfectly. I will definitely be back for more. I recommend you try them.

The Basturma Sandwhich is the best sandwich I've ever had! Both the quality and quantity of the meal is absolutely amazing! Arthur, thank you for the best sandwich!

Loved the food! A secret spot to share with friends. We’ll definitely return there.

Probably a top 5 sandwich bite I’ve ever had

Balstoma pastrami sandwich unmatched

Excellent basturma brisket

Come hungry! MEAT!

III Mas offers phenomenal basturma sandwiches. The Basturma Brisket is now one of my favorite sandwiches. Basturma is Armenian cured beef, prepared with salt and spices, and typically sliced thin. Basturma Brisket: This is not your grandmother's basturma. The thick slabs of brisket are double stacked and juicy. I'll just go ahead and say it. The smoky slabs are better than Texas brisket and well known pastrami spots, much more succulent and tender. The spices and zesty spread complement the beefiness beautifully. There's a pretty bark that's fenugreek forward. The melted cheese and abundant tangy pickles balance the richness. The thick and fluffy pita stands up to the meat with a dense enjoyable chewiness. Ordering and Pickup: Place your order at their website. Pickup is through a door behind the ghost kitchen building. Call them when you arrive and they'll bring your order out. There are a couple tiny tables in the lot if you can't wait. Parking: There are about a dozen spots in the back. Or you can look for street parking.

Food was good, had the basturma brisket sandwich. Sandwich was really tasty, brisket was well hydrated, good flavor. Sandwich had a healthy amount of small pickles on it, that balanced it out but didnt overpower it in any way. Spicy spread on the sandwich was really good too. Sandwich did however also have some very large globs of gelatinous fat pieces that were ruining it until I opened it up and picked the mess out. Location is a ghost kitchen and doesn't have anywhere to sit/etc which is fine as long as you're already expecting that going in. Initially placed my order at 11:05-ish, was told it would be ready for pickup around 11:40, arrived there at that time and it wasn't ready or handed to me until almost 11:50. Would definitely try it again, but certainly not in a rush to do so.

I've been going around to the top rated spots for sandwiches to hunt for the best. There are so many great pastrami spots... some of the most famous being Langer's and Katz's. I don't think these two are the best but I was recently debating between these two. It was somewhat of a close contest for me. I like Langer's a bit more than Katz's. Anyhow, I tried this Basturma Brisket from iii Mas and I felt like it was better than either of those two famous ones. I didn't even need to think about it. The brisket is great quality and the home made pita is what really sets it apart for me. It's so soft and perfect. SERVICE It's a ghost kitchen at the moment. Order online, park in the back lot, call them to tell them you're there, then collect your goodies. PARKING Small, shared lot behind the building. Limited street parking.

Very delicious sandwich packed with thick cut basturma style brisket (reminded me of pastrami). The bread is delicious, the pickled persian cucumbers are delicious, the spread...everything delicious! A bit steep at $25 considering it's in a ghost kitchen and there are only two small tables outside, but the quality is definitely there. Some people were smoking cigarettes at one of the tables so you may want to eat the sandwich in your car. Very nice service, worker came out multiple times to check on customers and update them about status of their order.

Straight fire. See, this is the kind of fusion that honors the culinary traditions in a way that confuses you (in a good way) as to which you're enjoying at any given moment. Bite this way, basturma. Bite that way, brisket. This way, pita. That way, 'cue. Truly a triumph, Chef Arthur.

Operating as a ghost kitchen and serving nothing short of hauntingly memorable flavors, III mas has a limited yet focused menu that will immediately expand your flavor profile. whether you order the mortadella sandwich, made with their fresh pitas made in house, or the msalosh pie, also known as lahmajun. The menu items here are full of flavors from fresh pistachio to imported mortadella and the msalosh was a perfect blend of every spice on a crunchy yet soft flatbread. This place will have you coming back for more. You order online and pick up in a designated pick up room on site. Make sure you order the basturma brisket sandwich if it is available, as it sells out the soonest and I was not able to try it yet. Can't wait to come back here

III Mas Bakery & Deli is a ghost kitchen in Glendale offering takeout-only. I tried their sandwich with incredibly soft pita, smoked brisket, cheese, pickles, and a deliciously spicy Armenian sauce. The sauce was fantastic but surprisingly spicy, overpowering the smoky brisket flavor. Despite that, it was still tasty enough that I'm looking forward to trying their Mortadella sandwich next time. Check it out if you're a fan of bold, spicy, unique flavors.

I've never had food like this in my life. My girlfriend and I tried this place out a while back, and we still talk about it. Chef Arthur is a culinary expert in Armenian cuisine. He's created dishes with rich flavors without overwhelming the palate--a delicate balance that only a master in his craft could achieve. You order online and then pick it up. We took the food to a local park and ate it there. Here's what we ordered: 1. Mortadella Sandwich 2. Basturma Brisket Sandwich 3. Msalosh (Lahmajoun) 4. Boreg Mind you, that's food for like 4-5 people. We just wanted to try everything. I would come back for any one of those dishes. It was hard to choose a favorite. I cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely try it out!

This sandwich is no joke, the two of us felt stuffed after eating a little over half. We thought it was really well made, though we realized we could've used some hot sauce or something vinegar-based to cut through all the richness of the meat and cheese. That pita bread was amazing! Definitely ask for the sandwich to be cut in half - we forgot and had to just deal with slightly messy hands. Even though the sandwich was a lot, we wanted to try the lahmajoun too since that's one of my favorite things to get at middle eastern/Eastern European spots. So we just put the leftovers in the fridge. We actually liked it more than the sandwich! I'd come back to get the lahmajoun again.

Delicious brisket sandwich loaded with meat, lots of meat. No cutting back on these sandwiches. Fully loaded. It tastes amazing. Worth every penny. Place your order then pick up and enjoy.... This place operates from a commercial kitchen, all to go.

Can't comment about staff with this casual pickup only spot since you order thru their site prior to pickup. Parking and pickup is in the rear. The price for the brisket sandwich might seem like a lot but it is not when you consider they stuff the sandwich with tons of brisket that would cost you way more at a barbecue spot. The meat is tasty but don't go into it thinking it will be like pastrami cause it isn't. I do wish the brisket was more hot to help with its juiciness and that the spread was distributed evenly. Otherwise, great sandwich with fantastic bread. It was worth trying once (for someone that does not love brisket and a long drive to this spot) but I would not go out of my way to get it again unless it is try their other items.

Bought 2 Basturma sandwiches for 4 people. Easily large enough (and rich enough) to split. Ordered online and food was ready when we arrived; parking was simple enough in the alley behind the ghost kitchen. Excellent service, and an excellent meal to go. Will try other options another time, but those sandwiches were easily as good as "the best" classic establishments in LA (think Langer's, Brent's, or wexler's). An easy recommend. Price is a bit high, but so is the quality and quantity and even my picky teenagers ate every bite.

Maybe the best sandwich I've ever had. Insanely good. Perfect smoked pastrami-like meat that melts in your mouth. It seems expensive, but for pastrami this quality it would be a similar price anywhere, such as Ugly Drum, Bludso's, etc. And it's BIG. Lots of meat on there. 11/10 sandwich.

AYO!! RUN if you have to and try everything on the menu. Especially the Basturma Brisket!! Arthur cooks with soul and wisdom, and it's very telling! Thank you aper

This is best sandwich you will ever try. That may sound like an exaggeration until you try it. The sauce pairs well with the brisket and the pickles. The bread is fresh and made daily. They do sell out quick so place your orders as soon as they open. I cant wait for them to open their brick and morter at some point and am excited to see how they grow.

Solid 4 stars. The brisket sandwich was great. As everyone says. But not five stars for me. Just to heavy and after my first two bites , I was hesitant to go back in. Def can share between two. So glad I tried it , but not what I could come back to again. Also tried the Mortadella. For us , that was actually the better of the two. So good. Perfect pita amazing texture with crunch of lettuce and perfectly thin sliced high quality mortadella. Soo good

This was my first ghost kitchen experience and I was impressed. The brisket sandwich is the star of show. The bread is fluffy and provides a middle eastern unique twist. The brisket falls apart and the flavor by itself is amazing. The sauce is good, could be a bit more spicer for my tasting. The pickles provide a nice crunch to counter the melt in your mouth brisket. Of course being a middle eastern I had to try the lahmajoun, it did not disappoint. Reminds you of home with the spices that pop every bite. Make sure you order online about 10-15min before you arrive, call when you get there and they will bring it to you when you are waiting. I will for sure comeback to this spot, add it to your list

Make sure to call and order before you head out and the entrance for picking up the food from this ghost kitchen is in the back alley. The parking situation is not so great but once you bite into their Basturma Brisket sandwich it all becomes worth the hassle and you will definitely fall in love with food all over again. Amazing! Thank you!

Tried their Mortadella Sandwich. Excellent. Its got a really nice Armenian take with the yogurt? based sauce and cabbage thats just a right amount of acidic. I still think their Basturma Pastrami sandwich is the best. If thats like over a 9, this is like 8.5. I look forward to trying their boreks, and hope they make more new things.

First off, I don't like this hype-driven internet sales model where there is no restaurant or face-to-face interaction with someone behind a counter. Second, the basturma sandwich is so good that I still want it badly enough to order online, show up, and wait 45 minutes after the time the sandwich was promised for a guy to finally come out and hand it to me. Best brisket ever. I actually think the cheese should be omitted -- it distracts from the wonderful brisket.

First time eating Armenian basturma sando and it was delicious. Order online and wait in your car in the parking lot as this is a ghost kitchen. They have a couple of tables outside but eating in car with your own tunes is perfect. Industrial area with occasional trains!

This is hands down one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! From the perfectly tender meat to the fresh, flavorful bread, every bite was incredible. If you're thinking about trying this place don't walk, RUN! Absolutely worth it.

I am in shock on how good the brisket basturma sandwich is. The brisket is cooked to perfection, flavorful and literally melts in your mouth. Best in LA. Dare i say a competition to Katz in nyc

Amazing Basturma pastrami in a fresh baked pita. It's something you absolutely need to experience.

Ordered here several times since they opened so I can try the few different items they have on the menu. I can say without a doubt each item is unique and tasty in its own way. The basturma sandwhich was to die for. You won't find flavors like the basturma sandwhich probably anywhere on the west coast let alone alone here in the states. It's one of a kind and a must try.

Online order for pick up only! The brisket sandwich was decent, though personally don't think it was worth it for the price. The pizza wasn't very good, but that's personal preference on the herbs they used. The pick up was confusing, the place isn't a shop, so you'd have to call once you arrive to pick up your order. They come out of the double doors in the back of the building, that has a tiny sign on top that says "pick up". The hype on IG and TikTok on this place I think is overrated, and wasn't worth it for my 5 mile drive in LA traffic

What can I say, been having iiimas ever since the beginning days of operation and will forever be a customer. Weather it's the amazing (now viral) mouth watering pastrami sandwich or the unique one of a kind Mortedella sandwich, it's always a HIT! With fresh baked bread Daily it's hard to not love this place! 5 stars and more!

Best brisket sandwich I've had. Highly recommend! This without doubt! Very flavorful

The bomb new place to grab a sandwich! Never had anything like it. The bread was divine. That brisket...mouthwatering! Run, don't walk. Rush for early ordering. Don't miss out!

Ordered online and it was ready within 15 mins. Some items were already sold out. Delicious. No seed oils. Bravo!

Ghost Kitchen!! obviously they Sk!!! no one to complain about!! food is not even close to insta..

Very good sandwich. Pita was the highlight. Brisket was a bit dry on mine--looks less dry in other pics on Yelp though so maybe it's hit or miss. $27 total but was almost 2 meals. Overall, very very good was but was overhyped and overpriced

The food is delicious and high quality. Definitely someone to support and whose food to enjoy! Bravo. I wish there were more chefs that were as committed to creating an authentic culinary experience!

This might be the best sandwich in LA. A hefty brick of delicious pastrami on an unbelievably soft pita, with cheese, pickles, and some kind of delicious sauce. You've gotta pull in behind this brick building and call them, but the friendly cashier was out in two seconds and again - the sandwich is incredible.

Food is phenomenal. I will for sure be back!!! The brisket sandwich is great and the cheese byorek was to die for

Short and simple The food was AMAZING!!!! I will definitely come back for the Basturna Brisket or whatever it was all I know it was a 10/10 .

The brisket sandwich was amazingly delicious!. It was melt in our mouths tender and the right amount of smoky flavor. We can't wait to go back.

I had their Brisket Sandwich for my first time and all I can say is OMG! It's sooo delicious and flavorful! It's a must try! I really like the combination of ingredients and the tenderness of the meat! Definitely recommend!

This is one of the rare and few things somebody could eat that would leave such a lasting impression, that you start to reminisce and look for its taste and flavor in every other sandwich you eat after it. Subconsciously comparing every piece of brisket/basturma to the sandwich without even realizing that you're not even giving other sandwiches a chance to shine, because everything you eat is now compared to the golden standard.. this mfin BasturmaBrisketPita. I would- intentionally and with extreme prejudice and physical effort- bitchslap a toddler to get another bite of this pita sandwich. I mean it. Straight backhanded... with no baby powder on my hand. Just a rawdog power slap.

The food here is amazing. Chef Arthur prepares everything so fresh. I'll definitely keep coming back for the sandwiches and Msalosh. The bread was so good, I bought a pack to take home. Highly recommend!!'

This is not just a place you come to eat. The food coming out of this kitchen is a symphony and the conductor is a masterful chef, who tells vibrant stories of culture through his culinary creations. This is a place you eat art, so if you've never done that I highly recommend ordering from this kitchen. The food is beyond delicious and everything is so well thought out and carefully produced that you will be addicted to it.

Food is amazing!! Service is awesome! You can tell it's made with fresh and quality ingredients. The Basturma Brisket sandwich was divine. Every. Single. Bite. A lot of OMGs as it was quite literally devoured. Thank you!

I was blown away by my Mortadella Pita Sandwich and Lamajun (Msalosh). I've never had lamajun like this, it felt like a luxurious item. Same with the mortadella sandwich. The bread made my the chef is like nothing else I've tasted. Very huge portions. I can't wait to come back!
