From of our family to yours, Carousel is the premier Los Angeles area restaurant providing guests with the complete culinary experience when it comes to enjoying traditional middle eastern and Lebanese cuisine. In the Middle Eastern culture, meza (Lebanese term for appetizer) consists of a vast array of small sized, hot and cold dishes, great for sampling and sharing. At Carousel, our menu offers a selection of kebabs to seafood to an array of vegetarian items. We offer more than 60 meza items, ranging from familiar dishes, such as hummus, falafel and tabouleh to more traditional delicacies. Everything that we serve comes from original family recipes passed down through generations. With the supervision of our Chef de Cuisine and co-owner, Mrs. Rose Tcholakian, each dish that is served is sure to bestow the quality and freshness Carousel is well known for. For those unfamiliar to Lebanese food, a helpful service staff will guide you through what is sure to be a habit-forming journey.

    I had never been to this restaurant. We were atending a play a few blocks away and this restaurant looked very interesting. We were so pleased with our choice! We were welcomed very warmly and shown our table. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely marvelous! We only wished we lived closer so that we could go to this restaurant regularly. But we live almost 2 hours away during rush-hour and it would be difficult.

    The mezza without kabobs was quite filling and definitely delicious. A couple people in our party ordered entrees as well and the lamb kabob was cooked perfectly. Carousel is always a special treat!
