If you love authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, Carnival Restaurant in Sherman Oaks is a must! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with real ingredients — their fries are hand-cut potatoes, not frozen! The lamb chops are incredible (my go-to every visit), and the combo appetizer plate with tabouli, falafel, hummus, and baba ghanoush is perfect for sharing. Portions are generous, service is excellent, and the atmosphere feels like home. Parking can be a bit tight, but it’s worth it — Carnival is my top choice for Lebanese food in the Valley!

Universal Experiences
I tried Carnival recently and overall had a decent experience. I ordered the shawarma and lamb kebab combination. The shawarma was tasty and flavorful, though a bit on the greasy side. The lentil soup was also delicious and comforting. I appreciated that they bring out free warm pita bread, which is a nice touch. However, because it’s very thin, it gets hard after just a few minutes. I think one thicker, regular pita would be better than three very thin ones.

As for the lamb kebab, I wasn’t as impressed. It came out pink and closer to medium-rare, which I personally didn’t enjoy. To the waiter’s credit, he offered to replace it, but I didn’t have time to wait for another one. For dessert, I tried the knafeh. It was different than others I’ve had but still light and delicious. The waiter mentioned it was the freshest one, which was nice, though it made me wonder about the rest.

Overall, the food was decent and the service was friendly. Nothing to rave about, but it was a solid experience if you’re in the area.

Our good friend brought us here. He said he’s been dining there for 30 years. Now I know why he is such a loyal customer. We walked in and they greeted us like family. The food was excellent. The service was spot on. As we were there the place got packed. This place has what people love in going out to eat. Good food, good service, good atmosphere.

Carnival is an authentic lebanese restaurant , one of the best lebanese / Mediterranean restaurants I have eaten at. Lots of yummy dishes with large varieties. Sorry, I took some of the pictures after I dived in and tasted them. The price is at the best value.
I highly recommend you visit and try Carnival, you can take a date, a friend or the whole family.

Update: Father’s Day 2025
We went to Carnival for Father’s Day. The chicken kabab was spectacular. The Salad and sides added another level of taste. The Falafel was crispy outside and tender on the inside.

Carnival is always busy. We went there at 4pm and by 5:30 the line was out the door and the inside was just about full.

This is an excellent restaurant with friendly service and incredible food.

This was my first time visiting Carnival Restaurant. My father who has been going there for over 10 years brought me to eat. I LOVE IT! The restaurant was full and the people coming in and out was consistent. We were there during a weekday afternoon and the place was more than half filled up. I can understand why. Avivi and Cheyenne were our servers. What wonderful employees that Carnival has. Great management here.

We stated with the combination appetizer. It come with Humos, baba ghanoug and tabouli salad topped with falafel balls. Pita come with it. The portions are very large and delicious. We shared the chicken kabab that came with rice. The quantity of food is surprising and I had to take more than ¼ of the food home.

When we left, I was taking pictures of the business front. A guy bringing supplies came up to me to ask me what I was doing. It was Hakim who is one of the owners. I can see why the restaurant is so successful. He brought some of the cooks and crew to introduce me to them. He told he that they have been with him from the time they were teenagers. They were welcoming and smiling. I can see why the restaurant has been there for so long.

Carnival is a very special restaurant. Gems like this are a true please to discover. You will love it.
