Classic LA establishment from Compton. This bbq shop was one of the few places to go to back in the…read moreday. Now they're up in Fairfax and Santa Monica and even LAX. The meats have been pretty good but I feel the quality has fallen off a bit compared to the past. The brisket and ribs are still decent but I feel there is often too much sauce and the meat isn't as tender as it use to be albeit still tender. The pulled pork is ok and the potato salad & Mac n cheese are decent. Cornbread is quite dry imo. I've had it both at the restaurant and catering and it feels similar in quality. The brisket sandwich is decent with a decent portion of brisket. Staff is super nice and friendly and the atmosphere has a friendly chill joint vibe.

The food was delicious, everything tasted fresh, and you can tell they care about quality. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant was very clean, comfortable, and had great background music that created a relaxing atmosphere. It's not easy to impress us when it comes to restaurants, but this place definitely did. We're very happy we stopped by and will absolutely come back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommended!

After a long day at the dentist's office and not being able to eat for a whole hour, I was…read moreliterally starving and wanted to try Paapaiii BBQ. This restaurant is an Armenian/Georgian/Eastern European style eatery. I was there yesterday around 4:15pm. As I was about to walk in, Gayane with a pleasant smile wanted to know if I wanted to eat in or order food to go. I told her I would like to sit on the patio, soak up the sun and the beautiful weather. She brought me a menu and looking at the menu which had a lot of entreés to choose from, I decided to go with their 5x Large Khinkali with ground beef that was topped and garnished with fresh cilantro & pomegranate. I also ordered 1x Large Blinchik (stuffed with Meat) & 1x large Chicken BBQ Wrap that came with a side of tomato sauce. The Chicken Wrap was toasted very well and inside were a lot of healthy vegetables: Mayo, Ketchup, Raw Onions, Pickles, Cilantro, Lettuce & tomato. All the fine dishes tasted divine, flavorful and very fresh!! I also wanted to try couple of their fruit juices and the Mikado dessert, but she told me they were out. It's ok, there will definitely be a next time because I am planning to return back next time I am in Glendale. For one person it was a lot of food. Total came out to be $57.38. Didn't make or break the bank. Was very content & happy with my dining experience!! Comfortable setting and had some left overs too.. Street parking only, bright BIG, clean gender neutral restroom and would like to thank Gayane, Evgenii, and Paapaiii BBQ for an outstanding/fantastic service!!:-))

They were out of the brisket -- the one thing they're known for -- and said more wouldn't be ready for a couple of hours. Not a great start. The ribs were overcooked and burnt, the chicken was just ok, and while the mac and cheese and baked beans were pretty forgettable, the potato salad was actually the star of the show. Needless to say, we won't be back... but you be the judge.

As expected, they were very friendly and they take their craft seriously. I usually get brisket when I get Texas style barbecue, but wanted to try some other other stuff this time. I got the Serrano jack sausage and a half pound of chicharron. Both were very tasty and the textures were perfect. the chicharron was super crispy and was so good with the acidity from the lime and pickles. The sausage had a nice bite to it. The texture quality of sausages are underrated. I recently had another sausage from another barbecue place that was good, but the consistency was like meatloaf. It makes a huge difference. Always a good time in your in for a treat if you could find their pop-ups. They usually pop up at breweries. More so in the South Bay. It seems now. Follow their Instagram to figure out when.

This is the REAL. DEAL. Armenian BBQ. You can smell it. That smell? Delicious happiness. It's located in the back back back part of a strip mall parking lot. The ladies working there don't go out of their way to be friendly. They speak much better Armenian than English and everyone around you will be ordering in Armenian. Most of the menu is in Armenian. Remain calm. This means you're about to experience something magical. The pita and rice were also super fresh and good. I would take a side of fried potato's next time just because the potato salad was so damn deliciously mayo heavy that I could hear my heart slowing down. Atleast with the fried potato's I could have lied to myself on how they were made hahaha You rip a piece of bread, put lamb and rice on it, put onion and herbs on that, and then a little potato salad on that. Now roll that up. Now put that in your mouth and take a bite. That is the instructions on how to have some of the best flavor you will ever experience. Can't wait to go back.

After seeing Hamlet Kitchen mentioned by some YouTubers we follow, we decided to try it ourselves…read more We came on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't busy, but it was hard to find. We parked and walked the entire plaza before finally spotting it tucked into the back corner. My tip: drive as deep into the plaza as you can before parking. You order at the door and it's cash only. There's a large communal table by the entrance along with a few standing tables. Since it was the afternoon, the whole area was nice and cool in the building's shadow, so waiting wasn't bad. We still got our food to go because some people nearby were smoking. I ordered the lamb chops, which came on a bed of rice, sumac onions, lavash, and a chunky charred green pepper of some sort. The lamb chops were very tasty--crispy edges, meaty and juicy in the middle. They were thick, and all the fat was intact, which I loved. The lavash and rice were good, but I wasn't a fan of the onions, and the pepper was too spicy for me. Because of that, I kind of wished there was a different side, maybe something cooler, but that might just be me. Overall, the chops were great for the price. I'd go again and maybe try the pork chops next. My partner got the combo Lula, and it was decent, but to me it wasn't exceptional compared to other local kabob spots (cause there are a lot of good kabob places in Glendale). The lamb, though, gets my highest marks. I'm still thinking of them (we are there yesterday).

Also the person who took my reservation over the phone was also very nice and helpful. We weren't sure of the best place to park and gave some suggestions as Sundays are extremely busy in the area. 1/2 my party found parking nearby and the other 1/2 found parking at the Galleria parking structure near Bloomingdale's. Be careful in the driving structure as there are blind spots of people rounding the Corners going from level to level and it's narrow. Walking from galleria to Kara's was not far at all but we did park on the roof, found a spot near the elevator. When we got to the ground floor, we cut through In-N-Out to the street. We would definitely return again!
