I love Brazilian BBQ and this is a twist with a little bit of mideastern flair.  Kravings is in a strip mall on Ventura Blvd whre Charlie G’s (Loved that place!) used to be.  As you may (or may not) know, with Brazilian BBQ, they bring out the meats one at a time to your table and you either get some, or pass.  All you can eat and it’s GOOOOOOOOOOOD!

The owners must have sunk a TON of money into the interior design with really high end plates, linen, tables, chairs, decoration, and even a really cool salt and pepper mill set.  With the way restaurants life span is around here, hope the owners don’t close soon!

For lunch, the crowds aren’t bad at all.  The place doesn’t open until 11:30am and the trick is not to be the first one there because they really don’t start cooking the meat until someone arrives.  One time we went at 11:30 and had to wait for 30 minutes before the meat started to come out.  But while waiting, they have a killer salad bar with shrimp, a really nice Barley soup, all kinds of salads and hot clams in a white wine sauce that’s YUMMY!

The meats range from bacon wrapped fillet Mignon to lamb kababs and they really spice it up for you!  My lunch buddy, Ira, had to turn a few of the meats away because it was a little too spicy for him.

The all you can eat lunch there goes for $17.  The dinners are about twice as much, which I’ve been, and seems to be the exact same thing on the menu.  So pass up dinner and go right for lunch.  They also have a VERY extensive wine list.

Be sure to go to the website and sign up to their email lists.  I’ve gotten a few very nice coupons off of them.
