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.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary the right way. Overall it was a great experience, it was worth the drive. And I brought a lots of food home. I’m good for a few days.

The food here is very authentic. Not everyone in our party enjoyed it as much as I do because they are not accustomed to the herbs and spices used in Armenian Lebanese cooking. They found many dishes to be too sour and acidic for their palettes. The frog legs however and the kebabs were a huge hit. I enjoyed my previous experience here so much that I was excited to bring my family here to celebrate a birthday. I was very disappointed to learn that if you are dining in a party of 8 or more you NEED to order off the Family Style menu which is a per person cost. This threw a wrench in our plans as it caused us not to order so many other items from the menu. We were planning to order many other items and do family style anyways but we were forced to order only in the family style plan. They really should have informed me of this when I made the reservation so this is the reason why I am not giving them a higher rating and will never come back as a large party.

Carousel always comes through with absolutely excellent food and outstanding service. It is my go-to choice for Lebanese Armenian food in Glendale.
