Karabagh Meat Market

I’ve been coming here for about 10 years now I guess. All the meat/​fish is amazing, especially the kebabs, which I found out that a Russian professor I work with drives from Santa Monica to buy. Interesting specialty canned goods, European candies, and staples too. Some other highlights: organic eggs, yogurt drinks, salmon jerky, marinated chicken, fresh tabouleh, fresh bread, sumac, all kinds of raw grains and lentils, so many kinds of salami, and so on.
Good-​sized parking lot in the back. While you are there, you are doing a disservice to yourself if you don’t also visit the produce store in the same mini mall.

The customer service are SO rude and not helpful at all, unless you speak their language. The cashier, Gayanne, when I was paying her, dropped the change due to me on her side of the counter as she was giving back to me, and when I pointed it out she said, «it’s just change!» Sure it’s just change, but it’s MY change you owe me. I’m not going to hop over the counter to get it, I’ll be arrested. And she didn’t even bother picking it up and just avoided me as soon as she bagged my items. Then suddenly I noticed the rest of the staff (men) were all standing around me as if I was the one that has done something wrong. I felt bullied there.
But They have a good butcher selection, and the rest of their products are just canned or jars.

Great pork loins! Probably the best I’ve had. (That’s saying a lot) The chicken wings were perfect! They gave me some bread on the house. Incredible bread! I will return.

I usually don’t shop in this store so I read the comments before I decided to place my order for kebab — lule, pork loin, and chicken thighs. Seeing that almost all the reviews are good called to place my order. I have to say, though, that I am disappointed. Chicken lule and pork were good, the chicken thighs, however, weren’t as good. The problem? they were SPOILED! They tasted nasty, the small pieces of fat in the meat smelt and tasted nasty. May be it does not happen often (there are other 5-​star comments after all) but I don’t think I can go back to that store ever.

Great place! Great People working there. The food is amazing and the prices very reasonable. Their meets are fresh and very tasty. Every time I have a party I buy cooked meet from them, and people loooove my parties, because of their meets:-) Highly recommend the place. I wish it was closer to my home, so I can go there more often.

Rude rude rude! Called in advance to place an order and I had asked my Armenian coworker to place it for me. He told me that they’re rude to him but we ordered anyways. I got to the place to pick up the food and the associates were too busy chitchatting. They wouldn’t attend to me and I was standing there in front of them for a long time. They were not friendly at all when I picked up the food. I asked for a side of hummus and they started talking to each other in Russian or Armenian and didn’t bother giving me the hummus. I wouldn’t come back here.

I love this place. I will drive from Burbank to North Hollywood for this store. The meat is fresh, the staff is very friendly and it has a produce store right next to it which makes it very convenient to stop both places and be finished with your shopping in one round. The meat is just delicious. The bread is always freshly baked and they are several types of deli along with different seasoned olives and also many types of meat for bbq, grill etc; I recommend this store to everyone. They know what customer service is about and I think that plays a major role in a business.

My Russian boyfriend introduced me to this market. We use the deli and order our meats from here. They are tasty and fresh! Also, they cook the food for you, so you can enjoy amazing kebabs! LOVE this place! The prices are very reasonable.
You get a lot of quality food for your money.
The pastry selection is good too! I will be going back tomorrow to order some beef and chicken kebabs for a party!

i love this place. when i need meat for a bbq i come here. they have a good selections of cold cuts, breads, salads, drinks and etc. people are nice and friendly.

Driving down Victory Blvd in the middle of the afternoon, this little place with a huge sign caught Mr. B’s eye. Since he was driving, the car suddenly jerked in that direction. Who am I to resist? I love small, clean ethnic neighborhood markets. And this one certainly fits the bill. This one caters to the Armenian and Russian community. They carry a lot of imported, prepared foods, but their fresh food selection is what really impressed me.
Their meat and deli counter extends from the front to the very back of the store. At the meat and deli counter you can find 5 types of feta, 5 kinds of marinated olives, several types of sausages, leg of lamb, marinated meats (chicken, rack of lamb chops, lamb ribs), rabbit, canned, fresh, and marinated fish and lox. I am sure I failed miserably to remember it all.
Their bread choices are also not typical. For instance, there are several different brands of a large flat bread called lavash, and then there are the freshly baked loaves of bread that look like a flattened football, just like Roland C described. These are just waiting on a baker’s rack for you to take home. We had to try some, as every customer in the store was lined up to buy at least one loaf (probably more). We found the bread delicious just toasted and buttered, light, delicate, and full of holes.
For your Mediterranean sweet tooth, I also spotted large chunks of halvah in a case waiting to be sliced and weighed and about 12 different freshly baked pastries. We are not the kind of people that can pass by a ethnic bakery without buying, so we ended up with maybe seven different varieties of pastries. So far, they have all been beautiful, tasty, some with cinnamon and other exotic spices and nuts.
Adequate parking can be found behind the store.
This was a fun find and one I would highly recommend to visit.

FRESH! Tasty! Clean. beautiful store! YUM!

DA’ BREAD!!!
I am only rating this place based on their breads. In particular the one that looks like a huge flat football. This is possibly one of the best breads ever crafted in the history of mankind. It’s about inch and a half high, about 2 feet long, shaped like a NFL football that Godzilla might have sat on, and it has the aroma of godliness. If heaven is a country village, this is the bread they bake there.
You can make sandwiches. Have it with soup. Serve it with salads. You can have it naked or with some butter. It goes well with jam, peanut butter, ham, sausages, pâté, cheeses of all kinds, smoked fish, fried fish (I haven’t tried it with sushi yet but I will soon), etc etc etc. This bread is so good you’ll start buying 10 loaves at a time like the other customers.
I don’t even know how the word hasn’t gotten out about this but if you love good bread (and this does not mean you need to be a foodie) then you take your sourdough and rye (why is there only sourdough and rye at most bakeries?) eating ass over there and try it.
And no this is not an «artisan bread». This is the real deal. Not some homemade experiment with a pinch of rosemary added to the crust and slapped with the «artisan» label just to be fashionable or justify selling it for $ 10 a loaf. The flat football bread is less than $ 2 bucks but I’ll bet this bread will roundhouse kick anything that all the Iron Chefs or Wolfgang Puck and their 300% sodium/​sugar injected asses have to offer. I dare you to buy one and not resist having a taste before you get home. It’s impossible. Go ask Mr Owl.

Wonderful find! I went there to buy kabob meats for a barbecue. They have a wide selection of marinated meats at great prices. I recommend the luleh. The house made salads/​sides are also very good. The service is friendly and they are conveniently located next to Victory Produce, which has amazing deals on fresh fruits and vegetables.

So this place is at the end of my block. PEOPLE PLEASE REMEMBER THAT PEOPLE LIVE ON MAMMOTH!!! Now that that’s out of the way…
This place is good. The people behind the deli counter are ok. The people at the tills are really nice. The cheeses and meats look fresh, although I have never personally bought them. The rest of the stuff there looks pretty specialized. I had no idea there were six different kinds of feta. If you’re looking for an Armenian market, this will more definitely do.
So why do I go here? The quick serve deli! Nothing beats the hummos, eggplant cavier, mini pouri, and sarma (grape leaves) for a good lunch. You get all of that, plus a drink for $ 10. Yummy.
They’d get an extra star if the service sped up. I went in there before work today and even though there were two people behind the counter both serving the two people in front of me, it took over ten minutes to get my prepackaged items. Arg.
So again, be respectful to the people on Mammoth. Use your turn signals when you decide you want to park in the parking lot. Turn signals in general would be nice in life. If you ever see the only person in the place looking utterly lost when Armenian is shouted at her, come and say hi!
