"Kara Bala, operated by Ruben Danielyan, offers Armenian-style barbecue skewers (khorovats) from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily. The stand is located in front of an auto repair shop and serves five meat options: lule, chicken breast, lamb, cubed beef steak, and pork, all grilled over charcoal and served in lavash with parsley, onions, and sauces. The meats are described as juicy and flavorful, with a simple yet satisfying preparation. Sandwiches cost $15 and come with a choice of soda or water." - Matthew Kang
