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

The food was great. Well seasoned. Miqo suggested the beef Lula and khorjin and they were both well seasoned. read more

Karas - Karas martini and coco loco - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

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

Karas - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

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

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

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

Went for a late lunch so it was not busy. The restaurant is pretty big and has a nice sized patio. Our server was sweet. She offered still or sparkling water and when we said still, she named different bottled brands. It seemed odd we couldn't just get tap water. Food below. 3 dips- roasted tomatoes, taziki and hummus. The hummus was a bit runny. The roasted tomatoes were good but slightly bitter. Taziki was my favorite. Chicken ciabatta - my husband liked it. It was a pretty big sandwich and they gave him tons of fries. Beef Lula platter- the meat (ground meat) was super tasty. I died my taziki on it. The cabbage mixture was nice and mild too. Rice was OK. A little slip in my opinion is that my husband's sandwich came out way before mine. He was almost done by the time my food came out. I would come back to try the BBQ . read more

We love the service! and the food came out so hot and fresh and almost no wait We love the vibe and the call decorations There was life music not too loud Very family friendly , servers are nice and welcoming! Fries are huge we ordered 2 baskets but one was more than enough for 4 of us . Every bite of what we had was yummy yum . Like no regret read more

I've eaten here a few times. The food is ok and the ambiance and service are a little less than warm. Beware: outside they are not enforcing the no smoking rule. It's not just vaping, these are heavy cigarettes. Give it a try, inside...but I'd take it to go, personally. With so many Armenian food places to choose from in Glendale, I wouldn't put it at the top of my list. read more

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

Let me start with the gentleman who served us, "MICHAEL" was phenomenal. He was friendly and engaging!! Loved it! I had the Karas Martini.. absolutely fabulous! It was an actual experience. The food was amazing as well. I had the Greek salad and a side of chicken and the beef lule!! The atmosphere was on point. I will absolutely be returning here with many friends! Thanks again Michael!! read more

This place was extremely unprofessional, the waiter took forever to take our Order! When she finally took our Order she rushed away as if she was busy. Too busy to bring us bread instead she was playing in make up! Not to mention serving food right after is very unsanitary I will not attend this restaurant ever again. read more

We wound up here unexpectedly and ate on the patio. The service was slow but we didn't really care. The food was great! I ate too much lol.

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

It was amazing! The service is perfect. A special thank you to our server Michael -- the service was impeccable.

My husband and I came here without a reservation on a Saturday night in early July. We arrived around 5:30 pm and were seated immediately after arriving. I'd been looking at Yelp as I wanted Georgian food, but Armenian was the closest I could find in LA. I saw that Kara's Dine-in had khachapuri, a dish that I love, so that's why we ended up here. There were several tables full of people already eating despite the early time. Our server brought us menus straight away but took a long time after that to return and bring us water. She was polite but not the most efficient or friendly. We decided to get the grilled vegetable dip to share between us. For mains, my husband had the pelmeni and I ordered the adjarian khachapuri. The adjarian khachapuri here was a slightly different texture to the khachapuri I've had before in Georgian restaurants. This one wasn't bad but I preferred the khachapuri I've had at other Georgian restaurants. The pelmeni were good and very moreish. The ambiance here is casual, and despite being a full-service restaurant, feels like a fast casual place. Service is brisk and not super friendly. They took a very long time to bring us water, and the wait staff seemed harried. We may come back here if we're in the mood for Armenian cuisine. read more

We were walking around Americana and saw this place across the street! They seating inside and out and it's really nice! I got their cheese pizza and wife got there chicken! They give you a lot of food and there plates are huge! Pizza was not that great! No flavor! The chicken was awesome and want to try other dishes! Not good a service charge beware! And if you sit outside the smokers are terrible! They eat and then smoke right next to you! It ruined my meal! read more

Came here on a Friday evening and was served by a wonderful staff member! We ordered 4 dishes, which includes the plov beef, lamb chops, zharkoe with pork, and khurjin with beef. I tend to be cautious when I dine out because of the salt content but everything was nicely seasoned, not overly salty at all... just perfect in taste. We also arrived during happy hour so I got the Spicy Aztec cocktail and they do not skim out on the liquor ; ) My family and I truly enjoyed our dinner here as the ambience and service was great! Looking forward to coming again. read more

Atmosphere was quiet and nice. The food was delicious. The waiter Michael was kind and friendly.

I've never had Armenian cuisine before, and after dining at Karas I can say that I am a fan! The food was great and the location on the corner of Harvard and Brand is ideal. The highlight of our meal was our server, Alan. He did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome with prompt, attentive, and professional service. If you get sat in his section know you're in for a great experience. read more

Terrrrrrible customer service . We sat for over a half hour without being given a menu . Staff was clearly aware as the people Sitting infront of us were being tended to . When we asked for a menu the waitress responded with "okay???" Felt very unwelcomed ! read more

I always passed by this place since it's right across the Americana but never thought of going in bc the signage didn't really appeal to me. Then my roommate suggested it for dinner, and I am so glad she did. Everything we got on the menu that evening was great. The bread with cheesy egg, the beef kebab, and the vegetable dip were all solid 10s. I loved how fresh the tomato and red onion side salads were. Apparently, the style of this cuisine is more Eastern and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Especially in Glendale where it's kebabland, Karas stands out and I would definitely come back here. The service was a bit slower, but he was very informative and tended to everyone in the restaurant in a timely and efficient manner. He was the only server I saw that evening. All in all, great experience and would come back! read more

Delicious food and amazing service by Michael. Bbq beef melted in our mouth! Will return again!

Located near the Americana, Kara's offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated right away despite it being a busy Friday evening. Parking is metered on the street. For the meal, we shared the chicken breast and pork ribs BBQ with rice and salad. Both meats were incredibly tender -- definitely something I would order again. We also tried the grape leaf dolma, but I wasn't as impressed. The dish came drenched in a bit too much yogurt sauce and sour cream. I would have preferred the sauces on the side. Also, the portion size felt a bit small for the price. A couple of nice touches was the basket of complimentary bread and live Jazz music. In comparison to Kara's in Yerevan, this location is definitely more upscale. I'd be happy to bring friends and family here again. read more

I had a great experience at Karas Restaurant in Glendale! Michael was incredibly friendly, professional, and hardworking. He made sure everything was done carefully and always had a positive attitude, which really made the visit enjoyable. The service was excellent, and you can tell the staff truly cares about their customers. It's always nice to meet someone like Michael who goes the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. Highly recommend this place -- great service and great people. I'll definitely be coming back. There was one once minus. The Russian girl which was the host was very rude and not even friendly. read more
