This place is absolutely disgusting. Food quality is trash, not edible. Everything is cooked ahead of time and heated up at time of order, no seasoning besides tons of salt. read more

Karas USA - These chicken BBQ wraps are delicious!! - Barbeque Near Me - Van Nuys, California

They used to serve premium quality BBQ plates. However, in the past 2-3 months I have not tasted neither seasoning or proper marination on the meats, simply disappointed as I was always looking forward to ordering their family platters or just the individual BBQ dishes. I wish they can bring back the flavors. read more

Food, services, and the ambulance was ready good! I hope they will continue as they started. The music entertainment is nice which creates joyful atmosphere. read more

A new branch location recently opened in our neighborhood. Our family loves Middle Eastern cuisines and have it least once a week. We have our goto spot but decided to try this place and maybe it might be our new place to add on to our local places to eat. We decided to try the take-out option. We called ahead of time to order and also ask some questions that we have, particularly for garlic sauces if that can be include in our order. We bought the family dinner #1. We went to the store to pick up our order. First thing we notice was that it was very clean and empty. I assumed that since it was new customers were still not aware of the new place. As I came by the counter the food was ready in bags. I went to check the order at the same time I was being charged. I put my card in and even gave tip, now before I paid I remembered to ask about the garlic sauces if it was included. The person said no and I ask if I could have a couple of them and he said that it was $1 each for a small container. I was kinda bummed that the person can't even give out some sauces when I already spent $100+ on food... it wasn't very welcoming to be honest. We ate the food at home and the family thought it was ok nothing out of ordinary. It was enough to fill our hungry bellies. It that regards I'm glad I tasted the food of Kara's. And with the experience I received... I probably won't be coming back since the food was priced a bit high and charged for everything including sauces which I thought was already included in the expensive bundle. I rather go to our old spot that welcomes you with smiles and wonderful experience with a great food on a not so high price menu. Also if your interested to try our spot: SKAFS GRILL LAUREL CANYON/Oxnard St. read more

We live around the corner and we're eyeing this place before it opened. It's Armenian food. We had never had BBQ Khachapuri sandwich before and were told we had to try it. Wow! It was delicious. We should have ordered 2! We also got the BBQ Chicken sandwich (which was pretty big) with some type of yummy onion tomato salad and Chicken Lula with rice. All great! We ordered to go and it was fast and great when we got home. Prices were reasonable. We are definitely going back! read more

Food is amazing. High quality menu items and very affordable prices. This place will not let you down. I would highly recommend ordering either for lunch or dinner. This place is the best kebabs spot in the valley. My favorites are the summer salad with the bbq chicken plate. You won't regret it! read more

Food was delicious...definitely coming back for more! Me and my husband had the Pork Shawarma Wraps n we both gave it a 10/10.

Good food, great service and friendly staff, highly recommended in the valley, must try.

Hey russian chick at the front, lose the attitude and focus more on putting my delicious order together correctly! :) temper tantrums:)

Food was bland, raw and tasteless, when this place first opened with Jasmine managing it was so good, prices were good, the chef made good food, but now I was so disappointed , I bought lamb chops that were raw and flavorless, beef lula plate felt like I was eating rubber meat and the potatoes were raw and green ‍, I feel like I got hustled by giving money for very bad product and in these times I expected this place to amazing like it once was, plus armenian food and chefs are amazing, this place makes you look bad as chefs. I fed myself and my family very bad quality garbage , you have lost us as customers, not worth the hard earned money we make to pay for this terrible disgusting food. Don't get the borsht either it's also disgusting uncooked . read more

I have ordered from them several times now. Their lule sandwich is amazing! Their fries are delicious! The only negative is that their sandwich in lavash gets soggy very quickly because of the yummy sauce they put on there. Highly recommend nonetheless. read more

Meets were good I had the beef and pork, both really flavorful. The rice and grilled pepper I got with my plate order was also good. Only issue was with the sides (hummus and cucumber one) they were okay. Maybe cause I've had really good ones elsewhere. These were just okay read more

Great people! Explained the menu to me as it was my first time here. You can see them cook the food fresh right in front of you. Got the Kara's Combo for Chicken Shawarma fries and a drink. Drink is basically free compared to if you were to get the chicken shawarma and fries separately. Love the interior design and wood accent walls! read more

Pass. Greeted by an unfriendly and useless red-head at the counter. She seemed overly bothered when I asked her questions regarding the meals. The food was just as bad. Tasteless and bland. Never coming here again. read more

Food was delicious service was above and beyond excellent.Ambiance was beautiful. I'm new to Karas USA. I ordered lamb chop plate with rice and bell peppers it was delicious. I was driving by and I noticed restaurant. I'm stopping. They accept cash credit cards everyone is welcome. Please stop and try they also have family meals and takeout. read more

Brought family here to eat. Excellent service, top-notch food, and flavor, clean, neat restaurant with extremely attentive staff. Will be back on regular basis. A+ all the way! read more

Loveeeeeeedddddd their service and the both borsh and spas was amazing. My new favorite yo go place

It's just not that good! being honest Zankou chicken is much better. The lavash is cold and it's either rice or fries.

Food was delicious and service was Amazing. Will definitely be going back Atmosphere was great and staff is friendly and welcoming read more

Omg what a gem. My mother is usually very picky but she loved this place. Her pork ribs well done and potatoes nice flavors. My chicken bbq was so tender and juicy and it came with a sauce to die for. Humus delicious. We will be back very soon. read more

See all

Checked in here last night, after taking my food home for my family and feasting I forgot to write this review, I think the food coma is to blame! I got the family meal #2 from their menu which was sufficient food for 2-4 people. The kebab from the group pack was very soft and juicy, I can't stand kabob that is too dense. ( they did a great job in that regard ) The lamajuhne, also called "Armenian pizza" is on a whole other level. Putting the quality of food/big portions aside, the customer service is amazing - I came to this restaurant after work and I didn't look good nor was I dressed proper. read more

Very delicious food. Employees happy to help with any questions. Clean place. Will recommend read more

The food here was very delicious and would most definitely recommend this place to other people. I came here with my family of 12 and ordered two family combo#1. Everyone ate very good and we had a lot for the next day. The hummus is also very good and better than other places that I've gone to. I will definitely be coming back more often. 10/10. read more

First time at the new North Hollywood location! Food was delicious and customer service was great!! We got family combo #1 with 4ppl and it was definitely plenty of food. The meat was cooked to perfection and the side dishes were yummy too. We dined in and had such a great experience with the friendly staff. Can't wait to go back! read more

I ordered two family combos. Those combos also include BBQ of potatoes and bell peppers, and also BBQ salad. However, when I got my order delivered, it was missing all those food I mentioned earlier. I was really disappointed and upset about the service that Karas provided to us. We paid so much money for this food, and they failed to prepare whole order. If you increase the price for the food and the service, you must also improve the quality of your food which is also something I want to mention. The chicken lula tasted good, but the beef one tasted unpleasent. Really shocked and disappointed. I am not going to order food from Karas anymore. Thank you. Next. read more

not tasty at all. Employees barely understand English . One time even employees were rude

One of my favorite places in LA Basically I like everything in the store, But especially lahmaju read more

I am very hard to please. But I was happy to see the quality of the dishes and side salad was great. We ordered the beef plate, chicken lulu and pork ribs. The Smokey deliciousness of the fire was certainly there. I would recommend being a little more generous with your lavash and fluffy bread. Other then that the portion size was good and with tender pieces of meat. Will certainly go back. read more

I've been wanting to try Karas because when I tried it in Armenia it was sooo delicious but here in the US it is the worst! I ordered the grilled chicken first of all it was not one whole chicken since the chicken doesn't have more than two legs and two arms, and second it had HAIR on it not worth it, I don't recommend. Not to mention it took them over 30 minutes while they said wait time is 10 minutes read more

I had walked in and was given a free drink while I waited for our food . We ordered the ground beef and it was delicious . We also had the hummus and the cucumber salad which was very tasty . Service was friendly . read more

Very clean establishment. The cashier was so nice and funny. Food was really good as well

Im so excited that Karas opened a location close to our office. Love their beef bbq and shawarma! Aside from the delicious food I love how clean the place is as well as the customer service! I recommend trying both the bbq and the shawarma! read more

Be ready to mostly get rice with your meals. Nothing like the Karas in Glendale. Doesn't even have a third of the menu or quality.

Awesome lovely place. Very kind and clean. Nice and taste food. Positive beautiful people. Thank you. read more

Karas USA - Barbeque Near Me - Van Nuys, California

We came to North Holliwood from Pasadena for dinner with our relatives , and decided to meet at this place. I've been in Karas Glendale once, and liked the food and drinks, but did not realize that this particular "Karas" doesn't serve alcohol. However, we decided to try it out. I am so happy we did! We've ordered lula kebab, bbq from beef, lamb chops, chicken, and pork ribs. They came with grilled potato slices, grilled peppers and tomatoes, also wonderfully cooked basmati rise pilaf, and side salad with pickled vegetables. We had tarragon, pear lemonade, and coke from glass bottles instead of beer. Server gave us extra plates to share all the food. It was very well done, one of the best barbecues I have had for last several years, even better than at Karas in Glendale! We had such a good time, on top of the tasty and freshly made food, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. They even served nice silverware and porcelain plates, instead of replaceable plastic ones, and made our day with smile and positive attitude. At the end, I want to mention, that this food gave us no bloating, nor heartburn, because it was very fresh and without preservatives. I am allergic, and very sensitive to added food preserves, but I had no alergy at al. I highly recommend this place to people who like fresh, clean, and home-stile grilled and cooked food. Thank you Karas! read more
