One of those must haves when you're in LA. I love the Hollywood location but there's a fancier one in Glendale if you're into that. The best Lebanese/armenian food I've had in LA and the there's so much of it. Go with a hungry group and eat through course after course of Mediterranean goodness. The kabobs and the hummus/pita are highlights for me!

Carousel is a gem for Lebanese-Armenian food! Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful--the tabbouleh, kebabs, and especially the baklava were standouts. The service really made the experience special. Sako, the manager, was welcoming and checked in to make sure we were happy. Fadi, our server, was attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. Great food, amazing service--I'll definitely be back!

Wanted so much to gatekeep this place for myself but it's too good not to share with others! I love coming here with a group and getting one of the family style orders. We got the Carousel Party tonight, which was more than enough (probably too much) food! The food here is consistently high quality and delicious! This is also the perfect place to celebrate a birthday- near the end of dinner the restaurant blasts a fun birthday song while the staff (and usually the rest of the restaurant) sings/claps and brings out your cake with a giant sparkler! They don't have a cake cutting fee though they do charge $7 for the sparkler. We had a great time celebrating my partner's birthday tonight, and I'd highly recommend this place for other celebrations!

My second time here , and each time I was amazed at their consistent quality. I also brought a vegetarian friend and he was so impressed by the amount of delicious options available. The ambiance was very nice and the service helpful. This is more of a family restaurant but you are coming here for delicious food. If you're tired of loud trendy over priced restaurants, then come here and be shocked by the quality and reasonable prices. There are not many restaurants that have this tasty of food for such a good price. I highly recommend!!!

I love coming to carousel's Hollywood location it has a different vibe. The servers are very welcoming and friendly and the food is great, we ordered so many small dishes to share during my last visit and everything tasted great.

We ordered kebab combo with chicken breast and ground beef kebob. I requested it be made juicy. It was good but dry, not as good as any Persian kebobs we order from Masis , Panini, Kabobs by Faraj and many others. The taboleh is great. The grape leaves were good, but some canned are better The feta cheese platter was ok. The meat and cheese portions were small. The rice pilaf? Ok .... The garlic sauce was mostly mayo. The pita was great. The baklava phenomenal. Not ordering from them again unless they lower their prices, and then not sure.

Friendly in their own way. Not in an overtly smiley American sense. But it's nice to see them openly welcome their returning customers, as if having an old friend over for dinner. The food was delicious. I was happy with every dish, even the cabbage salad that I almost told them to leave off. Looking forward to going back and trying some new stuff.

We were a group of 8 including 2 young kids visiting LA for a few days and needed a spot with decent vegetarian options as well. We had originally made reservations for 530 but due to traffic and delays we had to keep pushing the reservation and ended up with 8pm. The staff were super accommodating with our requests on a Saturday night. Our server was fantastic. They have a huge menu and she gave us several suggestions on how we could order and offered to let us know if she felt like we had ordered too much or too little. Everyone ended up getting their own entrees and shared a couple mezzes as well. There was so much food and everything was very delicious. The most popular item was definitely the chicken shawarma. The eggplant mezze and roasted red pepper mezze were also hits. We witnessed a fun birthday sparkler celebration where the lights were dimmed and everyone sang happy birthday. I didn't realize that this was a favourite of a certain celebrity but unfortunately we didn't have any sightings. Free parking in the strip mall is definitely a bonus!

Was in Little Armenia in East Hollywood and after hearing so many good things about this restaurant I am here to tell you, it's all true! Restaurant is located in a little strip mall on Hollywood Blvd. My hubby and I shared the appetizer platter for two, and it was delicious. The sarna was so flavorful, tabbuleh had a little more vinegar than I would have liked, although it was good, the muhammara was just right with so much zest, and the mutabbal and hammos spot on. Even the pita was tasty. And the portion size, plenty. Just love sampling foods from other cultures and this combo platter was so much fun. We also shared a chicken shawarma plate and a fool Mudammas. Their Armenian coffee was flavorful and robust. We both rolled out of there stuffed and happy. Wish this place was closer to home, nonetheless, will find a way back. Free parking in the lot out front.
