We've visited this spot several times. The location is convenient if we're going to be in Glendale. In addition, we appreciate that you're able to get seated quickly versus Raffi's that sometimes has a long wait especially on the weekends. Food is decent. There are more choices here than Raffi's which we all appreciate. For a family, you can order their family meal which has all of the meat varieties that you could possibly want. It also gives you the opportunity to try them all. With that said, it would be nice if you didn't have to pay for the bread basket which has a few pieces of bread for the whole table to share. Service here is pretty quick. You get your food quickly however, the waitresses tend to rush you through your meal. The last time we were there (this past weekend), they kept coming to our table wanting to bus it while we were talking to family who was visiting from out of state. Then, once we paid our bill (again being rushed by our waitress), we asked for water. She brought a pitcher of water and set it on the table and walked away. It would have been nice if that didn't happen but okay. Weekends they have live music. Ask for a table outside if you want to converse with the people you're having dinner with. It gets pretty loud inside the restaurant. They have heaters and work pretty well which is nice. read more

The food was delicious! Family combo 2 was perfect for four people. The beef and lamb were excellent, and the pork ribs were tender and flavorsome. We also got the khatchapuri with egg, which was cheesy and buttery and lovely. Server was kind and patient with us, which I appreciated. They let us take our time to finish the meal. read more

Karas is truly a wonderful Armenian inspired Kitchen. Best place to find some of the most famous Armenian dishes. Tastes very good and our recent visit we had a great waitress named Anastasia that took care of us, with a kind smile and attentive eye. All of their staff are always very attentive and professional. Highly recommend this place! The Ambiance is also very cool when there is live music. read more

Better Armenian food than most restaurants in Armenia!! (And waaayyy better than Karas in Armenia.) Whereas in Armenia Karas is more of an Armenian Denny's, in Glendale, I was pleasantly surprised by just how delicious this stuff was. In particular the Lamajon was to die for. read more

Food was good. My mom was craving borscht and says it was delicious. Hummus was good too with an ample serving of bread including lavash and matnakash. Their menu seems to encompass a fusion of cultures from Armenian to Georgian to Russian to Italian to Mexican flavors including jalapeño... And of course middle eastern. Food is served in clay dishes fulfilling its namesake. For anyone interested in learning about Armenian cultural representatives, there's a mural on the wall featuring William Saroyan, Komitas, and others. Pricing is fair. Server Anastasia was a smiling energetic girl with lightning speed. Definitely recommend. read more

In Armenian we call this a xorovats (barbecue). This is my second time visiting Karas although it was a long time ago I was here last. As an Armenian-American I have to say that this meat was delicious and up to par. Of course it doesn't beat my grandfather's kebab! This assortment of meats really filled the four of us up and we had lots of leftovers. The meats included beef, chicken and lamb. The veggies were just enough and of course we had to order plenty of lavash on the side to eat with this. The sauces are to die for so please try them all! The inside is very stylish and the walls highlight Armenian historical figures which was a nice touch. Our service was fast and truly the price was not bad for being CA and this much food. Please stop by and taste a little of Armenia! read more

Today I ordered the small family meal it feeds 3 people for sure! Beef, lamb chops, chicken and pork ribs. Rice, hummus and veggies! We also got a margarita pizza and a pitcher of sangria.

First time being here at first I was skeptical I didn't know what to expect. When our server arrived his name is Michael. He was very friendly and helpful, he recommended we get the BBQ set, the menu said it is serves 5 to 6 people but we were actually nine and we didn't even finish it all we still had some left over to go. The lamb chops was tender and perfect. The pork ribs was so tender and flavorful perfect. All the lulae were so good and perfect. The whole barbecue set came with a lot of appetizers and sides so we only ordered an extra Lahmajoun and we were so happy that we got it because it was very good. We also like this place a lot cuz there is a singer who had one of the most beautiful voice we thought it was a radio playing but she was right there live the Ambiance was perfect it was not too noisy we were able to chat and have a decent conversation without yelling. Definitely we'll go back and recommend this to friends and family read more

I am the one who loves the food I can understand. Meet and veggies -- that's all I need. And "Karas" is the place I go really often. They never overthink the food. They do care about the ingredients. They do have the traditional approach. I also like the space itself as there is quite a lot of room for a lot of people. I see families with kids every time I come. "Karas" is truly a family place. The atmosphere is as if you visit your relatives or friends and it makes me feel relaxed. Actually I can't help saying the staff recognizes you every time you come so you really feel at home and you really feel valued. My favorite server Anastasia is so charming and she does really know the menu and can recommend you the plate you'll never regret. The staff speaks several languages so you will definitely be understood. Highly recommend "Karas" and can't wait to come there again. read more

We had such a bizarre experience here. When we asked if we could keep a menu at the table to look over in case we wanted to order more, the server gave us this condescending response: "Make sure you leave the menu to the side and not actually eat on the menu." It felt so unnecessary and honestly insulting. We weren't being difficult; it was a simple question. Instead of being accommodating, the server made us feel like we were being talked down to. The food might be decent, but with service like this, I'm not sure it's worth coming back. read more

Amazing food and our server Michael was the best, he gave really good recommendations which we loved & went with, he was super helpful. Must say it was a 10/10 must try again but only if you have Michael as your server because he made the experience so much better. 5 read more

This place is overpriced and the food is just okay. I ordered a Greek salad and asked for chicken on top. They literally added three tiny pieces of chicken that were super dry and then charged me an extra $7 for it. Definitely not worth it. I won't be going back. read more

First time trying Armenian food, and it was such a pleasant experience dining at Karas. The food was well-seasoned and left me with a great impression of Armenian cuisine.

Our favorite place. We were among first customers when they opened. I am happy to see Karas thriving. Our favorite dishes is beef and chicken kabob that comes with platter -rice, pickled veggies and bread. Blini is also very delicious, also my childhood lemonade with tarragon or pear lemonade are the best! Very nicely located just across the Americana and they have very cozy tables outside with nice views. read more

AWESOME food and great service! Our server Mikayel was very sweet and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

The food is ok but the service is terrible. If it's an Armenian restaurant, why would you assume that your customers speak Russian? On top if that. Why would you expect a customer to swipe the card and to sign the check on behalf of their friend who stepped out to the restroom? I am confused by these practices and the "I don't care" attitude of the waitresses. Sorry but no matter how much I want to support you, I won't be coming back. Maybe once you get your act together and train your staff. read more

4/5 for the food, service, and location. My co-worker and I wanted to try a new restaurant and stumbled upon this place. It was overall delightful! The ambience was nice, the servers are nice, and the food was great. Food: I ordered the Margherita Pizza and it was nice. Good portion, so after eating 3 slices, I was able to eat some for dinner. The tomato sauce and basil were a good mix. The cheese felt like 1 nice glob of cheese every time I bit into it, which was interesting. Alongside with the bread they offer when you sit, the flavors was delicious and paired well. Service: No complaints, they came at nice times. It took us awhile to get our check, but my co-worker and I weren't in a rush, so it was alright. Location: It's close to the Americana and all the restaurants, so feel free to park in all the adjacent parking structures or street parking. We came on a weekday, so I'm sure this place gets very busy during the weekends. Overall - great place! I want to try their other food on the menu. read more
