Heaping meze platters & other Middle Eastern fare are the draw at this casual, family-run stalwart.

All the food was delicious and tasted very fresh. I went on a wednesday for lunch and the environment was lovely. Great service from everyone, food was prepared timely and the place was very clean. The sounjouk sausage was my favorite.

All meats here are Halal. The soujuk ar Armenian sausages are made in house. They are beautifully spiced and does not smell gamey. The left photo shows Muahammara and Hummus with Soujuk. The photot with rice has soujuk with eggs.

I’ve been to the Carousel in Glendale before, which was great. I came to this location for the first time on Valentine’s Day, and was blown away! The pre fixe menu was very generous and had great variety. The food was all delicious and excellent quality, and came out in a very timely manner. And the dessert with coffee and tea felt like such great way to close out the meal. The service staff really blew my partner and I away though. They were very knowledgeable and helpful, and came back frequently to make sure we were doing well. Thanks for such a great experience, especially for Valentine’s dinner!

Food here is absolutely good Lebanese food. This place is open since the 80’s and there is a reason. Staff is kind. Don’t speak much but very efficient. Comfortable sits. Salads and great, falafel are decent, hummus and babaganoush top! Fatush salad and kebbeh salad excellent. Kebabs very soft. Restroom right for the amount of guests at restaurant. Comfortable experience of dinner. Well balanced Lebanon lemonade drink. Menu is very rich. Set menu at only 46$ is a real bargain!

Visited Carousel Restaurant in Hollywood with a couple of friends on a recommendation from my Armenian buddy. We wanted to experience some authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.
The ambiance of the place was cozy with a touch of elegance. The staff was friendly and more than happy to explain the menu to us. I ordered the Beef Shawerma, and it was absolutely delicious! The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, wrapped in soft pita bread with just the right amount of toppings. Every bite was a flavor explosion!
To complement the meal, I tried a traditional Armenian drink, Jallab. Tried Jallab for the first time, and it was a delightful experience! This traditional Middle Eastern drink is made from dates, grape molasses, and rose water, giving it a unique, sweet, and slightly floral flavor.
All three of us left full and satisfied. If you’re in Hollywood and in the mood for authentic Middle Eastern food, I definitely recommend checking out Carousel Restaurant. You won’t regret it!

This is my go to spot when I want amazing Middle Eastern/Lebanese food. The chicken kebab is always grilled to perfection and the garlic sauce is a delicious addition. Rice pilaf is packed with flavor: The fattoush salad is bright and fresh with a nice crunch of pita chips and the lentil soup is the best I’ve had anywhere. Regardless of what you get, you can’t go wrong. Everything is excellent!!

Really fresh, flavorful, bright and lively food, good portion sizes, quick turnaround for takeout orders. A $20 combo plate could comfortably feed two people who aren’t that hungry, or overstuff one person who’s downright starving. It’s a no-brainer!

Mixed reviews for me. The food definitely was a good quantity and tasted pretty good, but everything had too much lemon in it. Like it actually made it not taste so good. But if it had been a little less, I would have given it 5 stars. We did have only vegetarian though
When we went they only had outdoor seating in the heat (did have shade though). Looked like they were preparing for a big event, so I can kinda live with that.
