Food was great camera here on a business lunch also Great service! Got attended by Michael

Right across from the Americana, so you've probably walked past this spot at least once. I've actually been here before during the day with my kids, but the evening vibe feels a bit different. The live violin music that night added a really nice touch. At first I didn't even realize it was traditional Armenian cuisine because the flavors felt somewhat similar to Mediterranean food. Once I realized, it made the experience feel a little more unique. The food was great for sharing, so coming with a group and ordering family-style worked really well. They also have fun cocktails, Armenian tea, and desserts neatly displayed in clean containers, which I thought was a nice detail. Overall, it was a fun experience and a great spot to visit when you're around the Americana. read more

Conveniently located across the street from the Americana and Glendale Galleria. It was my first time trying Armenian food and it did not disappoint! The chicken lula plate was amazing and I liked the caprese salad as well. The Armenian cheese plate was interesting too- the block of feta cheese was a lot but it wasn't as heavy as other feta cheese I've had and the pairing with the herbs and bread was great. It almost felt Vietnamese. Loved the watermelon-cucumber lemonade too. Service was great and the restaurant was beautiful and comfortable. No wait on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. Knocked off a star because they were out of so many items we wanted- no Khurjin or Armenian combo. Was a bit pricey too. Free parking in the Glendale Galleria. read more

Food: tried several different items on their menu 1. Borscht: I did not like it. 2. Armenian cheese platter: excellent 3. Summer salad: excellent 4. Zharkoe: I had never had it before it was delicious the way it was served was unique.. cooked in a bread pot 5. Eggplant and veg dip: delicious Service: average had to wait and flag down someone every time we needed something... they were not busy .. Ambiance: good read more

I had a really bad experience at Karas. I made a reservation for 7 PM on Mother's Day and arrived on time with my mom and grandmother. We waited over 20 minutes standing while being told every few minutes that our table would be ready "soon." My grandmother has difficulty standing for long periods, which made the situation even worse. What was especially frustrating was seeing empty tables right in front of us while other guests were seated before us. At that point, the reservation felt meaningless. We ended up leaving without being seated. Very disappointing experience. read more

I am the biggest fan of Caucasian food. Glad to see that Karas offered Khachapuri and other Georgian/Armenian options in Glendale. I ordered to go as I had to make a flight, but I thought my to go experience was nice. The server accurately predicted how long my food was going to be prepared. I also appreciated the interior of the place - I wish I could dine in. In terms of the food, I enjoyed it despite the drive back home. The Khachapuri had a nice balance in taste. The grape leaves weren't too soggy. The chicken was cooked well. The only reason why I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because I think the prices were higher than what I expected. I recommend folks to come by and try what Karas has to offer! read more

The best harissa in the world. Everything was extremely fresh and yummy!!!!! Thanks to Micael for the best customer service!!! read more

Karas is located right across the Americana and after many years of always walking by I finally got to try it. I've always had Armenian food like kabobs and dolma but I'm glad this place offers more than just that. Our server also made our dining experience here very enjoyable. Great vibes here and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a solid list of cocktails and wines. We got a beef in lavash and as well as the chicken BBQ plate. I've never had beef in lavash before and the flavor is delicious. It's like braised meat and it comes with cheese and other seasonings so you can make like a wrap. The chicken BBQ plate was incredibly juicy and tender served with rice, a side salad and a pepper with onions. Everything was fresh and tasted very healthy. read more

Karas Dine-In - Chicken Ciabatta Lulu Chicken - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

Be extremely careful at this place. Today I came here with my girlfriend, and the server brought me a bill that was almost DOUBLE the correct amount. I checked it, confronted him, and only then the bill was corrected. He did not give a real apology. He looked nervous, started acting overly nice, and seemed like he just wanted me to leave as quickly as possible. To me, this did not feel like a simple mistake. It felt like an attempt to overcharge me and hope I would just pay without questioning it -- probably because I was with a girl and they assumed I wouldn't want to argue in front of her. I only paid the correct bill, but this experience was absolutely unacceptable. If I had not checked carefully, I could have paid almost twice what I actually owed. In my opinion, this was shady and dishonest. Customers should check every receipt here before paying. I personally would not trust this restaurant again. read more

Great place. Very good service. Food was fantastic. Very soft beef, wonderful bread, amazing soup (Spas). Ambiance was chill--no loud music blasting, which is the terrible trend now. I highly recommend this place. magnifique restaurant read more

Karas Dine-In - Beautiful place. Amazing food and great service! - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

We were walking through Glendale a few weeks ago when we passed by Karas, and right away the smell stopped us in our tracks. My wife and I looked at each other and basically decided then and there: next time we're in the area, we're eating here. Fast forward to that "next time," and right as we're walking up, we see a DJ set up outside. Totally unexpected. Turns out it was the first time they were trying something like that, and even the servers asked what we thought about it. We sat inside, so it wasn't loud or anything, but from what we saw, it added a fun, laid-back energy to the place. We went with the Family Combo #1, which honestly should be called a feast. It came with pork ribs, lamb chops, beef and chicken BBQ, beef and chicken lula kabob, fire-roasted peppers, fire-roasted potatoes, rice, hummus, ajika, and a side salad. And they don't stop there; they bring out a side of bread too. I added tzatziki because... well, why not? Everything was just solid. Tons of flavor, perfectly cooked, and there was so much food we ended up with leftovers for the next couple of days. They don't technically have a kids' menu, but they do offer pizza, so we got a cheese pizza for our daughter, and she loved it. There's also a bar if you're just looking to grab a drink, and they've got a good amount of outdoor seating too. Overall, we had a great time and already made plans to come back soon with more of our family. read more

Today we went to the Armenian restaurant "Karas" and were very pleased. I'd like to especially mention our server, Sofia, who was very attentive and courteous. She helped us choose meat-free dishes for our dietary needs, even though we were quite picky. We ordered a caprese salad and grilled vegetables with dip and some kinda Armenian tea. Everything was fresh and delicious. We especially loved the vegetables and the sauce. They also brought us a bread basket with incredibly delicious lavash. Overall, the dinner was excellent. The restaurant left a very warm impression, a cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. We'll definitely come back for the highly recommended BBQ plate. Thanks to Sofia for the excellent service! read more

It was my first time dining in Karas Restaurant. If you plan on going on weekend, I recommend making reservations. They can be busy on weekend. I highly recommend ordering three dip plate because all three dips tasted great. It was my first time trying Arishta, it was good. It was way better than what I expected. Overall, food was good no complaints. It is a nice restaurant located in one of busiest areas of the Glendale within walking distance of Glendale Mall and other stores. They have live music which makes the experience more enjoyable and it is not too loud. It is not like other places which you can't hear conversations. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

Wonderful service and amazing food. Our waiter was Mikayel. Very nice guy. A must visit!

First time trying Karas and it did not disappoint. It's an Armenian food restaurant that's located right across the Americana and if you sit outdoors, you get some great people watching views. We got to try the borscht soup and the beef kebab plate. The meat was good, juicy and well done. The soup was also very homey and flavorful. We also got time to drink which always goes really well with Armenian food. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

It was our first time having Armenian food and I was very impressed. We dined in with another couple and it was also their first time having Armenian food. We didn't know what to get but saw a larger party next to us sharing this board with a lot of different kind of meats. We decided to get that board too (Family board 1). We loved every bite. Good variety of meat from steak, chicken, lamb and more. The flavor and cook were great on each piece. The sides and spreads were very good too! Good place for date night, family gatherings, or just a nice family dinner. Would recommend this place! Overall rating 4.5/5 read more

I had seen this place on the corner across Americana 2 years ago, decided since I'm in the area to eat a late lunch with the Mrs. It was too hot outside so dined inside; not a soul until I sat my golden ass of luck down and in 20-30 minutes, there were about 25 people, your welcome, again. Very nice decor, almost tropical, with a bar and good tunes playing (top 50/ish.) Had some communication issues with our server, brought wrong dishes, but its ok because was planning to take some home for our son. So, $140 bucks bought us the following, all-in: Lule kebab plate: The beef is what we ordered, got chicken instead, they were both quite good after the beef arrived for take-home (had to try a piece even though I was stuffed). Side salad is an easy pass, not very memorable. Best to order a big salad like Greek, etc. Fries were thin and crisp and plentiful, like a center table portion for 1 side order. The chicken chunk breasts were good; all 3 dishes were moist on the inside and flavorful. The appetizer Lahmajuns at 5 bucks a pie were quite good as well; crispy and meaty, flavor on point. Highly recommend for appetizer, and the trio dip (hummus, tzatziki, red pepper sauce that was sweet and bit spicy) served with lavash wraps and traditional Armenian baked bread slices was not only great but fun to mix with the meats. Added a funky fresh citrus pitcher of lemonade, (like a grapefruit infused lemonade) and it was a fun dining experience. Many more items to try and probably will be back, if I can tolerate the madness of this area, which is about once every 3 years. See you in 2028. P.s. In case you haven't noticed, people can't drive, park, walk or move around in any normal way whatsoever in and around Americana. read more

recently visited this restaurant and had a really enjoyable experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a clean and well-designed space that made it comfortable to relax and enjoy the meal. Thank you Mikayel read more

Great atmosphere and excellent pizza. Sitting outside and enjoying the lively street scene made the experience even more enjoyable. The location is ideal--right across from the Americana; where it's always pleasant to see people shopping, smiling, and full of energy. Our experience started a bit slowly as they were busy and it took some time to eat, but the staff later made a genuine effort to make it right and took good care of us. Michael, our server, was especially thoughtful and treated us to a complimentary fruit plate to make up for the early delay, which was a very kind gesture. Overall, we truly enjoyed our food and whiskies. I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

The food was just perfect it was perfectly cooked how I like it and the service was very good.

My work crew and I had the most meatiest lunch of all time here at Kara's in Glendale. We got the Family Combo #1 and it did not disappoint. It easily fed the 5 of us with just a few pieces left to spare. Everything was bbq'd to perfection with highlights being the lamb chops and the pork ribs. To keep things light I recommend their Avocado w/ Grapefruit and Feta cheese salad. Service was great and will definitely be back! read more

Looking for delicious food, friendly service, easy parking at a place that's not terribly crowded? This is the spot. **Its bomb - request Michael!** I work down the street & used to live in Glendale for years - so please believe me when I say this is a true Glendale gem. The food is literally the perfect portion sizes, but since I'm gluttonous & a major foodie this is what a dinner for 2 looks like for me lol. It's great after work, or with friends, just a lovely dinner spot. I can always find a table & they are super prompt! But honestly? I come for the service. Michael is by far the best waiter I've ever had. You'll see I have quite a few reviews to date and I'm not playing when I say he hit #1. A true gentleman & extremely detail oriented. Made us feel like family and made tonight the MOST special of all the times I've been here. Everyone is extremely respectful, kind, and attentive - but Michael? That guy hits it out of the park! Wish he was our server at all restaurants tbh but every single marker. Thank you Karas for an amazing dinner, and thank you Michael for the experience! read more
