About the restaurant

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.

About the restaurant

Nestled amidst lush greenery and framed by a serene courtyard, previously 2 Michelin star-awarded Somni offers an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. Chef Zabala will redefine Somni as a personal, transportive, and emotive experience for guests, reflective of his Catalan heritage and love of Southern California which he now calls home.

Somni features an extensive tasting menu and offers seatings at both the Chef's Counter and private dining room.

Somni's 400-selection wine list highlights top producers from Spain and California as well as some of our favorite bottlings from around the world. Corkage is $150 per 750 ml (limit 2 bottles per party) for bottles not on our list. Contact us at info@somnirestaurant.com to inquire about bringing your own bottle.

Phenomenal dining experience. The restaurant decor is just beautiful from the heated outdoor patio to the dining room. The food was absolutely delicious, each dish had a stunning presentation. Service and hospitality was world class. The delivery of each course was carefully choreographed and executed.

I have had to eat gluten free for almost a decade now and this is by far one of the best menus I have found in California. Even if I wasn't GF, I would still be eating here. Food is always 12/10 along with service + ambiance. A note to the Open Table developers: need to enable 6 star ratings literally just for 401k.
