    Beer Lula Kebob
    Ellie S.

    Never expected such excellent food form a tiny strip mall place. Very unassuming from the outside but packed with flavorful authentic Armenian food.

    menu price difference

    Food is always delicious here but this is first time customer is facing this kind of maybe issue. Online when you try to order food prices are cheaper then in person. Usually it's the opposite right. For the food i would give 5/5 but the prices don't match that's why I gave 2/5.

    Great food! Delicious and really good! The service is nice and friendly. The ambience is pretty chill, not gonna lie. When I moved to the US, I thought I wouldn't find food like this anymore, but this place proved me wrong! I'll definitely be back again!

    Schwarma wrap
    Carol R.

    Delicious fresh authentic Armenian home style cooking at its best. It's more of a takeout place (or delivery), but you can eat there as well, which we did. Best schwarma wrap I've ever had, seriously. Lamb was tender and very tasty with this delicious red sauce with just a little kick. Friendly service by Yacob. This place is a great find. Go try it!

    Very tasty borsch soup. I also liked the shawarma, a lot of meat in the filling. Super polite and friendly staff. There are places to sit. We like this cafe.

    Lahmajoun with Cheese

    Thanks guys, it was sooooo delicious!!!!!!! I bought lahmajoun with cheese and I ordered pork ribs plate and beef lula plate, but I didn't have time to take a photo because everything was so delicious, we ate it all at once. It was soooo delicious thanx a loooot!

    Beef
    Kat B.

    They currently have a deal! Ends 8/31 Where you buy two plates and get a third free or buy two wraps get the third one free! I love deal so I had to take advantage of this superb deal! I am so glad I was able to because everything was all so delicious! I got the chicken, beef and lamp chops!!! I love basmati rice so it was the perfect meal! It also came with pita bread!!! Everything was so juicy and i couldn't stop eating!! The drink had real peaches in it and was great to mix with soju! Lol They have a location in the valley as well as Glendale across the Americana! If u love mediterranean food, or to try something new I highly suggest this place!!! Can't wait to go back and try more items! IG @haangrykitty

    Chicken BBQ Wrap
    Maria B.

    I've been here a few times. Everything is freshly made. I ordered the summer salad and the BBQ chicken wrap. If you are in a rush it is not the place for you. They make everything right after you order so it takes a little while. Roomy dining in area and very clean. Parking lot is small and not spacious.

    Family Combo # 3
    Itamar T.

    I orderer the family combo 3 and added some tzatziki on the side. Here are the pros: you get a good amount of food. The combo came with two half chicken along with lula kabob and chicken Lula. There was plenty of rice and it came with hummus ajika and I guess their version of bbq sauce. The two half chickens were fantastic. They were marinated really well and tasted great. I would come back for the chicken 100%. The beef and chicken lula, sorry to say not impressed. It didn't have a beef or chicken flavor but instead a little rubbery feel to it. The tzatziki was bland not wet creamy. The reason I am giving them 4 is because the chicken was really good. They give great proportion for the price and if you want to do a family style they have that covered. The delivery was quick also. It's worth a try either way especially if you order the rotisserie chicken.

    Beef Lula Plate and Hummus

    The food is delicious at Karas. Very hot, well portioned. The only thing is it's a little bit pricey but I would still keep coming to get beef kabob. Service is very quick when you call and place an order over the phone. I always ask for the plate with no onions and buy a small hummus. Overall always satisfying!

    I was in the mood for barbecued today and decided to stop at Karas. We ordered chicken barbecue and beef barbecue and the waitress recommended vegetable mixes and the eggplant salad.. the waitress had amazing customer service. Her name was Anastasia . She made our visit extremely pleasantful

    Lahmajoun

    I found a rare restaurant in the neighborhood of North Hollywood, clean, good interior, delicious couisine. I ordered 3 pieces of lahmajo, but couldn't even eat all, because 2 pieces was enough for me. And price was only $2,7. They worked so fast!!!

    I have been to the old one in Compton they won hoodie awards and such. Not the same at all!!…read moreThe players are 35$ per plate with a up-charge of $3 for ribs. (At a rib joint, the nerve) but it wasn't my plate so oh well. First note this is a pick up spot only there is an ordering counter that no more than 4 people can be in at a time. The street is super dark and desolate looking it feels like an industrial area think City of Industry. There's no parking well there's one spot to park for pick up. The street parking is filled with what looked like broken down type cars the four I seen had chalk writing like tow yards do. To the food!!! Ordered 2 two meat meals that come with 2 sides. Not a piece of bread or muffin was included. Please notice the dry @$$ pulled pork? and I got 4 pieces of a rib tip that was the same as 1 maybe 2 real tips ANYWHERE else.the tips were chopped into 2-4 pieces from one full tip. So I really feel cheated and I was frigging hungry -hungry. The pork was dry and couldn't be swallowed without the bbq sauce and drink. She ordered a hot link with ribs and added a side of ribs for an additional $24. The sides came in a small container I had Mac n cheese and greens which every bite I was like wish I had cornbread to add to these greens. While she had greens and the sweet potato (which by the way was the best thing they had going on) the Mac was average I'm about to reheat and toast again before I hit send for this review. Reheated the side of ribs, greens and Mac and it's a bit better than the pulled pork, but this definitely isn't a bbq spot I'd advise anyone to go to nor would I dare try without bbq sauce and a lot of it. Dessert banana pudding last time I was here the desserts were pretty good. This tasted like the yoplait whips yogurts consistency and like knock of Nila wafers I was just sooo utterly disappointed.

I've been hesitant because it is in a trickier area, but I had no issues pulling in or parking! They have a few spots in the front, but otherwise I'm sure there is parking around the neighborhood. You walk inside to order and it is not a fancy looking place, but the people cooking the meat definitely know what they're doing!! It felt like an authentic Texas bbq spot. I didn't want the frills, I just wanted good food and that's what I got. I sat at a little table outside which was perfectly pleasant! The road wasn't too loud or anything. But really, the sandwich was SO good. I doused it in the spicy bbq and added the pickles and coleslaw and I ate the WHOLE thing. I shouldn't have. But it was great!!

    The accurate rain forecast changed our Sunday adventuring plans, but considering the food we were…read moregoing to get into, BBQ felt like a sensible substitute. We hadn't visited since February, 2020. Before the pandemic might as well have been 10 years ago, if the world shut down 6 years ago. We were overdue for a followup visit. Judging by how the food went down, we were sore for it. We ordered the Big Tex: four meats and four sides - tri-tip, brisket, pulled pork and links; kale greens, bbq beans, mac and cheese and fries. We opted for the cornbread in the roll slot. It should be the top meats in your order, by premium scale and availability, but more often than they should be, the brisket/tri-tip selections are, 90%, obligatory orders. I think I have a love/hate relationship with the way LA treats the pepperoni pizza of bbq meats. Swinging Door broke us off proper though. Not too fatty. Great tenderism. And the accompanying sauce complemented the smoked all stars, rather than compensated for lack of flavor. Didn't stop me from loving their Whiskey bbq sauce though. The beans were a true bbq side, swimming in a mild sauce and containing lovely chunks of link. And the kale greens - sheesh - I think they might've switched to kale since our first visit. An effective exercise in alternative ruffage that holds seasoning and jucies for a similar bbq/soulfoud bite. We live further away now. Took the food to go, to prevent the intermittent rain from foiling more of our plans. It traveled well. And since I'm using our leftover bbq sauce on every other meal I cook, I'd say we successfully made do with our lunch substitute.

    I really wanted to give Dr. Hogly Wogly's BBQ another chance because I had been here years ago and…read morehoped the experience would be better this time around. Unfortunately, it was another disappointment. To be fair, they were busy, and I understand that a full restaurant can put pressure on both the kitchen and the front-of-house staff. But being busy should never be an excuse for poor food quality, inconsistent service, or a lack of standards. We ordered the beef ribs, pork spareribs, and brisket. The portions were definitely generous, but the quality was simply not there. The brisket looked like it had been pre-sliced and left sitting in a pool of grease and juices. (as I asked the Server she did confirm this was true. ) It fell apart, yes, but not in the way great brisket should. It lacked the richness, balance, and true smoked flavor that good barbecue is known for. Instead of tasting freshly sliced and properly held, it felt tired and over-rested. The beef ribs were tough, and the pork spareribs were extremely dry almost like chewing on cardboard. That was probably the most disappointing part of the meal. For a place that has built its identity around barbecue, there was very little real smoke flavor in the meats. That alone says a lot. The barbecue sauce had decent flavor, although it was a bit runny for my taste. The barbecue beans, on the other hand, were actually delicious and one of the few highlights of the meal. Then there was the bread. We were told it was "half a loaf," but it was really just a very small piece, closer to the size of a bun. On top of that, the bottom was soggy, like it had been sitting too long on a steam table or in trapped moisture. The service was slow. The girls working were clearly busy and trying, but it did not feel like anyone was guiding them with real standards of service or hospitality. There is a difference between being overwhelmed and being untrained, and this felt more like a lack of leadership and structure. I also asked to speak with the chef. One server told me she would go get him and that he was there. Then another server said he was not there. That kind of inconsistency only added to the frustration and made the whole experience feel even less professional. I respect that this restaurant has been around since 1969, and longevity does mean something. But being around a long time does not automatically make a place great. In my opinion, they should not be pushing the idea that they are among the best barbecue spots in the country, because based on this experience, that is nowhere near reality. This is not even close to the quality standard of a true Texas barbecue spot. I was also disappointed by the overall condition and cleanliness of the property. I understand the idea of maintaining an old-school feel, but there is a line between rustic charm and an environment that simply does not feel sanitary or well-kept. To me, it felt like the latter. What makes this experience especially disappointing is that they clearly have the history, the name, and likely the resources to do much better. I do not mind paying for quality, but I do mind paying for quantity when the quality is missing. That is exactly what this felt like. I sincerely wish them continued success, but we will not be coming back.
